You always said I had
sapphires in my eyes.
But I never said anything back
Because yours were my demise
I was speechless, intrigued
By what I had beheld
Everything in your beautiful eyes
Was unparalleled.
No words hold enough power
To describe everything I saw
Their green was bright, hopeful
The kind that left you in awe.
Like the forest after a storm
Shining brilliant and new
But also a passionate, churning sea
Reflecting everything in you
Hopes for the future
Memories of the past
The essence of who you are
I can start to find at last
The beauty of you is apparent
Looking at your eyes, anyone could see
But to think that of all the people that have seen them
Your eyes see a future with me

The memories replay in my mind
The poems that I've read so many times
The truth of you I try to find
Scanning each moment, each complex rhyme
I try to understand the scars on your arm
The depression you've resigned yourself to
But I feel in you more than just your blade’s charm
There's a light deep down inside you
So long you've been fighting
To always keep that light
All the thoughts you put into writing:
You're winning your fight
But I still have trouble finding who you are
The truth is more than I can ever hope of seeing
Even in your bittersweet hell, with every scar
You care with every fiber of your being
The truth escapes me
No matter how hard I try
But I do know that you’re a deep, beautiful sea
The reason for the sapphires in my eyes

I know I said I wasn't ready.
I know I said I was scared
but I love you more than anything.
More than anything for which I ever cared.
You love me, I know it's true
and for what it's worth, I love you too.
I'm sorry I can't make up my mind.
I'm sorry I left common sense behind
But I can't think of another life
Without you, the pain and the strife.
Everything that I wanted came with pain
When I found you, but it's all the same.
I need you in my life
And I never want you to go away
I love you more than you know
And I'd give anything for you to stay.

Broken promises
Fragmented vows
Falsely promising security
and leaving one wondering how.
How did we have hope?
How did it come to this?
How did our expectations peak
When we've always known the world is amiss?
