it's funny
how i build these walls around my heart:
strong, resistant, resilient;
they protect it from the sharp edges of slipped words from your tongue,
they shield my heart from the harshness of spitfire.
and yet

they. always. break

even after how many times i rebuild these tall walls,
even after adding multitudes of obsidian,
it always breaks under your words

and i'm growing tired

the once overflowing energy in my veins are slowly diminishing,
the nerves building this wall around my heart are slowly losing their light

and there will come a day
where i don't have the energy to rebuild these defenses,
where my heart will lay beating but vulnerable

and there will be a day where your words hit just the right spot,
and then there i will be,
slowly bleeding out, color draining from me as i find it harder and harder to get up

but today will not be that day,
i will continue to build these defenses,
only letting those worthy to enter,
my heart will still beat and it will beat strong

today, your words will simply bounce off these obsidian walls and fall to their demise
im okay now, just needed to let it out

i want to be the moon,
the shining light
on your darkest nights

i want to be the moon
and yet i envy her
for she is noticed
without even a whisper

i want to be the moon
the one you look at every night
before you sleep tight

i want to be the moon
for you give her
your undivided attention

i just want to be the moon,
the one that comforts you,
is there for you,
the one that tells you it’s all gonna be okay

but the moon disappears in the day,
hides and lets another take her place,
and maybe

i don’t have to

We met each other
under the moonlight,
in the city of love and wonder,
we met in Paris

In your hands held a camera,
lens pointed to the sky
finger near the shutter,
as strangers passed by

I held my own
leading the viewfinder to my eye
as the Eiffel Tower was shown,
one click later and you were by my side

We met each other
under the moonlight,
in the city wherein I call you my lover,
we met in Paris

love is dangerous
it is painful, cruel
but that’s because love is strong
it is powerful, robust

love can make you cry
make you feel the the most pain you’ve ever felt
but love can make you happy
make you smile as big as the universe

but is that enough to make you hold onto love?

or is the pain just too much to bear?

paint me the colors of the rainbow
cover all my dullness,
all my grayness

make me a mask of colors
make it happy
no sight of sadness should be there

make my clothes gleam and glow
to shine away all my flaws
as it is expected that my body will be perfect

make my shoes shine bright red
like those of dorothy's
to hide the red blisters they are causing

paint me the colors of the rainbow,
make me shine bright
to mask all the pain
Make me colorful again

it hurts
everything hurts
my head,
my heart

my eyes are blood shot,
every night was spent
crying over you,
yet you didn't notice

how could you do that?
leave me like a pile of dirt,
not notice me trying so hard
to get your **** attention

maybe i should just
give up,
find someone new,
someone better

but how can i?
when i'm around you,
my heart beats faster
and butterflies appear
Unrequited love

(17) just you and me,
sitting in the middle of the park
laughing, talking;
star gazing

(21) just you and me,
sitting across each other
milkshake in the middle,
its taste is simply amazing

(24) just you and me,
with fancy suits and fancy dresses
me, kneeling down on one knee;
your smile is breathtaking

(26) just you and me,
you walking down the aisle
me waiting for you at the other side;
our love is everlasting

(29) just you and me,
you with your big belly
and me with our daughter;
she was dancing

(57) just you and me,
our son in his house,
our grandchild in your arms;
to you, she is glancing

(80) just me,
you are resting,
i will soon too,
we are advancing
Life moves fast, enjoy it
