it's alright
i need you
but i don't love you
i love you
in a way you love a close friend
and i know
my attachement might seem a bit too much
but you need to know
i'm not a person that feels love
in a way most people do
i do not fall in love
like the way you love a partner
i don't need a boy or girlfriend
i was born this way
and maybe
because i do not love
it is that when i get attached to people
it seems just too much

This flower is getting sad, waiting for something that doesn't worth a wait. Just so you know I still am waiting, eventhough I know it goes to waste.
For when I was fooled by the idea of Love.

You grow flowers in my heart,
You draw lights in my dark.

You stopped the rain that is falling,
You brought sun in my sky.

You calmed the storm in me,
The lightning they screamed.

And whisper out the rainbow,
I didn't know I could be.
For how you bring out the best of me, in the worst time of my life.

This is not my poetry

I sat here for hours, penned this down with tears,
Each word.

But this poem, it's not mine.

Your shirts,
smelled of sweat and cigarette,
a tiny bit of aftershave.

Your eyes,
they wrinkled up
with every smile.

Scruffy jeans,
Starched shirt.

You are a corporeal mess,
but irresistible still.

The image and likeness of God.

But this is not my poetry.
Each syllable, each word,
It's not mine.

What paintings are to you,
That's what you are to me.
You are art.
And art,
Makes me feel things.
I write when I feel things.

Yet this poem is not mine.
This poem is not yours either.

But
You are this poem

This poem is you.

You are poetry.

You're gone,
but I am still comforted
by your warmth.

You're gone,
but I am still safe;
for you have taught me,
how to find refuge
                                 in myself.
People die, love doesnt. In loving memory of Dad
