If I were to lie here would you lay with me?
If I took a boat to the end of the world
Would you be by my side as I looked over the edge?

If I found the place we call heaven would it look and feel something like you?

If I were to walk a thousand miles would I find devotion in your shoes?

If you and I grew old would we share memories of a world together?

If you and I learned to love could we begin to fall into it with one another?

Who am I?
Not a prophet of the future

But if we were looking at the end of time, would we spend these last moments completely whole and together?

“Questions” -JP
Do nothing, think nothing, be nothing.
Synonymous.
Do something, think something, be something.
Not.
Do everything, think everything, be everything.
Impossible.
Do the impossible, think the impossible, be the impossible.
Goals.
Do, think, be.
Life.
Yay! More not-poetry! I'm certain all two of you who will look at this will absolutely adore it! #Sarcasm
OK
"It's okay now." I say to my little brother.
I wipe the tears from his tired cheeks
And kiss his forehead
It's okay now
I think

?

People ask questions
"Where are these bruises coming from?"
"Why is your eye black?"
"Where've you been?"
They don't know
These bruises show up because I slipped
My eye is black because I spoke up
I've been
Gone

I can't tell you straight
You would think differently of me
They always do
I can't tell you straight
It would just get worse
I can't tell you straight
Those would be the last words I'll ever
Say
A ray shines through the curtains of my room
Lighting it up in the dark
A sliver of hope in the night
Yellow and dancing
I smile
Finally
A dream is eternal. Immortal. Infinite.
A life is not. That is all.
That is all.
I forgive you.
For all the things you’ve done to me.
I forgive you.

I forgive you.
For all the times your empty promises trickled through my head like a mountain spring.
I forgive you.

I forgive you.
For the color red.
I forgive you.

I forgive you.
For when you said you would love me, then you left me.
I forgive you.

I forgive you.
For the grass on that hill that sways every morning in the breeze.
I forgive you.

I forgive you.
For not being strong enough.
I forgive you.

I forgive you.
For the stone that’s got your name carved into it.
I forgive you.

I forgive you.
For leaving me at your own will.
Really, I do.

I forgive you.
If kisses were raindrops,
I'd send you showers.
If hugs were seconds,
I'd give you hours.
If smiles were water,
I'd send you the sea.
And if love were a person,
I'd send you me.
All souls

poetry


but not
all souls
need to
I'll be an empty canvas
as long as you're the paint
adding color to my madness.

I'll be the midnight sky
as long as you're the fireworks
and it's the fourth of July.

I'll be an empty stomach
as long as you're the butterflies.
I'll be the void
If you'll be the cries.
The ketchup to your fries.

Can't you see?
You fill me up so perfectly.
Like you were made for me
like you and I were meant to be.

You are...

The feet to my socks
The juice to my box
The tic tok to my broken clocks
.

You are...

My reason being.

and i have never really understood why i hate luggage.
why i barely own handbags,
and would much rather fit the necessities in my purse.
why school didn't seem so bad if i had less books on my back.

i had never really understood why i hated so much baggage.

until i realised that it was because i already had all of me,
to carry.
