i hate the burning
i hate the god awful shaking

i hate being away from you.

you would think
that if one is happy
they wouldn't consider
killing themselves

but I guess I'm just broken.

-r.y.s
I'm not fixable and I know it.

nightmares
are common to me
normally of silly things
like zombies rising
aliens abducting
monsters slithering

but recently
they have been of something more painful
of you leaving me
either by choice
or by death

it's ridiculous really
i know you won't
but my mind
says you will

it's terrifying
how much the thought
terrifies me

that losing you
could impact me so much

but i guess that's what love is.

-r.y.s
i never ever want to lose you.

Home
Home is where everything is
Friends
Family
You

Home is not
Where I'm forced
To put on a smile
Or act like I care
Or where you aren't

I miss home
I miss my family
I miss my friends
But most importantly,
I miss you

-r.y.s
divorced parents make for stressful summers


i want to try and write more so I'm doing a poem of the day now. I'm aware I'm behind right now but better late than never.

Baby I won't say
That I love you.

But you are all I have
And all I need

And I know I can't
Keep you forever

But all I ask
Is you keep me

In your memory
Forever

-r.y.s
I know we just got back together, but I know it won't last. Nothing in my life ever does.

I discovered what love is.

Love is a concept
That most adults
Can't explain in simple terms

But at the age of 17
I realized what it is

Love is understanding
Yourself
And the other person
And realizing,
Neither of you are perfect
And that life is hard
But as long as the other is happy

You can be happy too
