Please be with someone who will embrace the thorns in your body with her naked hands and bared feet.

Be with someone who will mend all your broken bones and stitch your open wounds.

Be with someone who will love the features you hate the most and find you beautiful anyway.

Be with someone whose heart is big, so big that she would choose to have it half for herself so she could give the other half to you until you learn how to love again.

Be with someone who will look at you with all the love in this world so doubtless and certain that she would never trade you for the world.

Be with someone who will not have it any other way even when you are in your lowest state and all your puzzles are left unsolved but still finds the missing pieces when all she ever was, is weary.

Be with someone who will carry you and take you home when you are drunk or sick even when all she had was a spine full of injuries.

Be with someone whose dreams are the most beautiful because she never forgets to include you in them.

Please be with someone who will do everything I've failed to do. Someone who can give you all that I never did.

I threw my darkness in a well
One wish, I'll never tell
The flick of a thumb
Splash, dream currency

An afterthought,
I walk with no shadow
Ominous spectres melt
Into the ripples of the deep

Quarters, nickles, dimes
Reflect the hopes of fishers
Casting out their demons
Cutting the line, thats a day

I’ll be ready with the palm leaves
Upon your return.
I’ll lay them at your feet as you grace
Me with your presence.
Crowds will form and chant your name,
For they know that joy has arrived.
Countless hours staring out the window;
I have memorized the stains on the glass
And made friends with the spider on her web.
If only I had a web of my own to keep you
Adhered to my side.
You said it wouldn’t be long.
You lied.
Memories sustain me.
Hope contains me.
Who do you think you are,
Toying with my sanity?
Ah, my soul’s keeper,
My grim reaper.

give
your
heart
to
anyone
or
anything
unless
they
are
worth
your
hurt

I love you
For all the times I didn't say it
For all the times you didn't know it
I love you
For every breath you questioned it
For every bit of hurt
I love you
For every time I cut you off
For everything I do wrong
I love you
For the lines crossed
For the tears lost
I love you
