Here's a thought
Stop crying out
And start reaching
And I'm not calling you attention seeking
Because I wouldn't mean it
But If you don't let anyone help
Whose gonna stop the bleeding
And if you're telling yourself that pain is on your side
When no one else is
Try to let someone else in
oh, darling
she's never afraid

   *she'd take the fall

she'd break down the walls

   oh, darling
don't you think she wouldn't do it

   she'd write poems
she'd write a novel

   oh, darling
she might be a girl, but

   she'd climb the mountains
she'd swim the oceans

   oh, darling
would you open your eyes and realize that

   she'd write you a song
she'd think of you all night long

  for a guy like you
*who wouldn't even notice her
I saw him
I walked towards him

He saw me
He smiled to me

There was a river,
separating our standing spots
I'd swim the river for him
But he'd rather build a bridge
than meet me in the water

I was lost in thoughts
I thought of him all night long

He slept at night
He gave nothing but a simple goodnight

There was a wall I built,
holding him back from seeing me
And he was not brave enough
to break it down for me

So he just stood there
and waited for me
to climb it all the way up for him

Hard was,
when I gave my all to climb for him
but he was not down there to catch me

Sad was,
when I was bravely in love
with him who was not brave enough to love me back
To that guy who made me hit so hard in love
Someone out there is going to physically ask for your name
not to play with it, but to live the rest of their life with it
Someone out there is going to flash you a smile
even when you hardly expect it
Someone out there is going to brush off the hair from your face
not only with their hands, but also with their soul
Someone out there is going to hold your hand
no matter if your hand is sweaty or cold
Someone out there is going to stand right out your door with flowers
and tell you you're beautiful in your pajamas
Someone out there is going to look at you like the first time
and you won't notice the difference because the way they look at you is undefineable
Someone out there is going to whisper those three meaningful words into your ears
that send shivers through your skin
Someone out there is going to love you,
not only for who you are in the present,
but also for who you were in the past
and for who you will be in the future,
and for the first time in your life,
you will believe it
and live with it for the rest of your life

I hate it when they call me cute,
or pretty.
I am so much more.
So much ******* more.
I could destroy you.

I am an intelligent being,
capable of many things,
i carve my path in life;
I do not search for your approval.
I do not need your validation
of my outward appearance
to feel accepted.
I am aware of my own self,
and all that I possess,
so much more than 'cute'.

Save me from hearing
your stupid compliments
None of what you say to me,
has not been said
to every girl before.

i was taught that
it takes about 80 milliseconds
for thoughts to be processed
so i ask myself everyday
why does my brain choose
to break my heart
80 milliseconds before i think of you

It's true
It is a beautiful, exciting thing when the person you love returns your affections

But I have found it is something else entirely
Something a hundred times more meaningful
When the one who showed you how beautiful words can be
Breathed life into your thoughts
Compiled your most complex emotions into neat little stanzas
And writes like everything you wish you could be

Starts following you on Hello Poetry.
"Ian Cairns started following you."

surrounded by busy people
i sip at wine from a plastic cup
as my slow life creeps on.
satisfaction hasn't shown his head
in quite a long time,
much too long,
far too long.
i don't remember when i last saw him.
i last saw his face 36 hours ago
stubble grazed my cheek
and his sweat stuck him to my skin.
I wish i could feel
and love
and be settled.
only empty sentences fill me up,
but surely i'm close to reaching the brim.

You
You're the biggest **** I've ever met,
and you think you're a saint.
