He said that;
She kissed like her mouth was on fire and the only thing that could ever extinguish it was someone else’s tongue in the form of, I love you on her lips. And even if each movement never really felt like love she made it feel so real anyway.
Her hips moved like the oceans were begging for someone to ride the waves and she was the sand beneath the feet of many men but never made it seem that way, even if those men got to feel her warm embrace it was never considered enough to make her stay.
She was always a mystery to me and the way her lips curved under when she smiled made me envious of the way she spoke, jealous of every word that left her lips because they got to touch them again and again and again.
I hoped that a man would look at me the way men look at her, innocent and admiring of her ever-present and translucent beauty, it glowed bigger and brighter than anyone else I had ever seen. But it wasn’t her smile that made her so enticing-
He mustered up the courage to say it was her that made the outside so much better, it was the words she spoke and her intent behind them. The love she spread about with just her tongue made a mess out of my distaste for life and introversion.  So I started to question everything I had ever known.
The wind sat crooked on the back of tree branch and I wish someone would have spoken to me in sonnets the same way he looked at her in paragraphs and I wondered if my pessimism is shading my views of anyone else’s admiration but everything feels like a fairytale nowadays.
I wondered if the things he had said to me were dancing on the edge of his mind for some time now and I wondered if he looked at me that same way sometimes, but the look in his eyes told me otherwise.
The way his expression guided the moon to the eyes of everyone who was listening and entranced the ocean’s waves was something more beautiful than any amount of romantic gestures.
They kissed at high tide and made us believe in emotions that never were, dimensions of the world unseen to the human eye and it made me believe again.
She was the fire burning beneath someone’s feet and I felt as if I wanted to be a volcano, burning down everything in my path and never letting anyone close enough because they will feel the burn in between their toes once again so they’ll need to dance on the sand and wade across the ocean just to feel sane again.
I want to be the kind of girl that changes things-
I want to be the air that dances beneath my curls and reminds I’m alive again.
I want to be the ocean, so I can be water under the bridge.
idk this is all over the place but it's like a story and I like it.
I fall sometimes-
and some days I can't get back up.
Clinging to the pangs in my stomach
left there because anxiety likes to remind me
she's still breathing-
Clinging to the knife in my side drawer
left there because I don't trust myself
and depression is right in my ear
telling me to do it again and again and again.
There's two devil's on my shoulder-
and no angel to be found.
I fall sometimes-
and end up making a home out of the ground.
Leave me here in pieces
I've always picked them up alone anyway.
Validity is not a virtue;
For it is you
And only you
Who can prove yourself true.
A breathing being-
Only if you want to be anything
But a spec of dust,
Searching for validity
In a society
Which has done nothing for thee.
The real virtue is individuality-
The individual
Is valid enough
For themselves.
Fingertips and everlasting
Gaze
Following the scattered lines
Which make up the maps
And the roads
And the veins in our melting
Hearts.
Slowly dripping-
Like candle wax
Peeling from skin,
Smooth and lovely
With the scent of
A million rose petals
Floating in the lines
Which make up the
Rivers
On the maps
Of our world.
Love knows no bounds no matter who you are, no matter who you're with
Male or female, gay,straight, bi, whatever
Who are they to judge I don't think they should be allowed
I think if you're happy that is all that should matter
I love my family whomever they choose to love
Happiness is in the eye of the beholder after all
My heart is swollen with love for my family and friends, I am truly blessed with who has been put into my life
Remember never judge unless you want to be judged thyself
Give love and thy shall receive love
Pain courses throughout my body when will it stop?
Almost a constant here, there, almost everywhere.
It pops up at the most inopportune times I feel like I can't enjoy my life.
Please stop I beg. I plead with my Lord to make it stop.
What have I done I ask? I repent of my sins.
But alas it does not stop.
I think in my head what I've heard so many times.
He does not give you more than you can handle.
Well then he must think I'm one hell of a woman, a very strong woman.
So until the day it stops I will deal the best I can and hold on for another day.
For I am a mom, a wife, a friend, and more so I must stay strong and hold my head high.
I deal with chronic pain and sometimes it gets to me. But I am determined to not let it take complete control of my life.
