There's nothing
good about being
cold-hearted.

It doesn't set you
apart from others
by making you
more interesting.

People should
aim to have a
heart so warm
you could bake
cookies with it.

One day I'll find it
A boy with eyes
more beautiful than
your endless seas.

Getting hurt means you’re
starting to become stronger
We may feel weak at first
because of the suffering
But one day, we’ll realize
we had enough and that
You don’t need paybacks
to be happy with your life.

There are days
when I feel so lost
and consumed within
the darkness of my
own thoughts that I
wonder if I'll ever find
my way out at all.

I’d sleep better
if your chest
was my pillow
and you were
here to hold me.

Love is both a
blessing and a curse,
it means opening up,
letting someone
take down the walls
you've built to keep
your deepest secrets and
darkest thoughts safe.

It means to become
vulnerable and learn to
put someone else
before your own needs.

For love will cause an
overflow with a sea
of feeling and drown
you in it's passion.

I prefer to think
life is not about
the pursuit of
happiness but
about the kind
of contentment
you can find
within yourself.

It can be difficult
to tell whether you’re
looking desperately
for the good in someone
to justify having
loved them, or that
you still love them.

I don't expect
a perfect relationship,
all I want is effort

I want to be
the person who
you think about
when you listen to
soppy love songs

There are a lot
of things I would
have done if
I wasn’t so scared
of rejection.

A smile can be
the best mask

Sometimes I
wonder whether
love is worth
fighting for.

Then I see your
face and I know
I would prepare
for a thousand
wars just to see
you smile again.

You can’t
make people
understand you
so instead
make them
envy you.

It feels
kind of lonely
without the
familiar presence
of butterflies
in my stomach.

Can we stop
chasing each
other, it's time
to finally catch
our breath
I love you so
**** much,
can I just
win you back?

When I looked into
your eyes, I thought
you felt the same, but
what I saw was only
a reflection of my own
love and emotions.

I deleted all
the things
that remind me
of you -
especially the
feelings that I
used to have
for you.

When together
you brought out
the best in me
but it was your
absence that
brought out the
worst in me.

Love me gently,
kiss me softly,
hold me kindly
in your heart.

But if you end up
choosing to release
me, please be gentle
for my heart is a
fragile thing that
will break at your
touch and departure.

You made me feel
forest fires ignite
in my heart, when
I can't even make
you feel a spark

You notice all my
flaws and failures
but never acknowledge
my strengths and
accomplishments

The things that
make me sad the most
are the people
who break promises
and the what ifs,
should haves,
would haves,
and could haves.

Everything I write
is just a shout into
the void, but it’s
strangely comforting.
And sometimes,
someone shouts back
and I don’t feel
so alone anymore
in my sorrows.

We can either
have a happy
ending or one
that is full of
regrets, so what
do you choose?

You tell me
to just be myself
but then judge me
Try as I may,
I can never be
good enough to
fill up your perfect
expectations.

My words
are powerless
to explain how
I feel for you

You were the colour
that was missing
from my spectrum.

You pronounce my name
in shock, as though it is a ghost,
and my body is a dead language.

Sometimes
the worst
place to be
is in your
own head

I wonder if
you find yourself
thinking of me
thinking about you
or vice versa

I'm not the person
I want to be
That person seems
far out of reach
an unattainable hope
I'm terrified I'll
never wake from
this nightmare.

Lately I’ve been lost
in thoughts so often
and my mind is taken
over by ‘what ifs’

My skin doesn't burn
anymore when you
touch it, instead I
feel the coldness of
your stare, icy orbs
that pierce the soul.

I once felt warmth
from your smile,
but now I know that
was only a charade.

A relationship
doesn't have
to be perfect

It's enough
to look past
the flaws.

And realize
every ride
has it's ups
and downs
