I will not change for you.
I understand, I understand, I understand.
You have never once asked me to.
But what you don't understand is that what you want would require me to change.
It would require me to stifle parts of my soul, of who I am to make it work.
I can't silence these pieces of me any longer.
I'm sorry, but I can't make that sacrifice.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, *I'm sorry.

phalaenopsis
the shards of my shattered blood line
piercing into my lungs
tearing it open

letting me bleed my sadness out.

i bleed slowly;
                       i bleed,
                                    i bleed.

your vibrant persona is too much for me to handle,
it feels choking at times.

but nonetheless i am attracted
like a moth to a flame.
i know it is dangerous,
i know it will only end in my execution,
but i go in anyway
orchestrating my own death.

i plummet into your aura,
i take it in.

and a small part of me believes
that you even had the smallest inch of care for me.

but you don't.
it's someone else it always is.

it's always the 'it's not you it's me' crap;
or the 'i don't feel the same' torture.

nonetheless it breaks me,
and i break in silence.

the saddest part is i thought i had a chance with you.

joker.

what a joke.

it can't happen,
it will never happen.
and that is all there is for me.

there is no yes or inbetween.
it is always no,
a resounding no.

but it's not your fault.
i know i am an ogre,
a monster with two minuscule eyes,
with my pores oozing acid,
and my mouth spewing fire.

my fiery temper restricts all suitors,
i know i cannot be tamed.

maybe that is why.

i am boundless and limitless and that may be intimidating.
but
but i am human,

and every human has that one boundary and
that one
limitation.

that was meant to be you,
meant to be you for me.

but you have someone else,
someone prettier and better.

so be happy, because that's all i want;

but for now,

i bleed slowly;
i bleed,
i bleed.
i'm currently mending a broken heart by using the only means i know how... poetry.

Word of Advice: boys are torture
I love you
Even if it's your blade running me through
I will always care
Even if you throw me to despair
I will always protect you
Even if you wish me not to
Only once could I ever make you cry
But I hope I'm wrong because it will be when I die
I don't want you to shed a tear for me
I want you happy, and forever free
For you I take one last breath
And as my soul is laid to rest
I will always be with you even after death
I'll wipe your tears, your cheeks caressed
I love you, my beauty
Now smile one last time for me

Your kiss tells me to wait,
to never let go,
To hold on to us
to never lose hope.
I feel it in my soul and
know in my heart,
You're my true love from
*from the beginning of time,
its been written in the stars

My life I have lived has been
dark
Constantly arguing with myself
whether I am the only one
Who feels as if they are
infinitesimal
Or maybe everyone feels this way
Then I come to the conclusion

No, not everyone feels this way
they can’t
It is a special situation
You have to be a special person
  to be in a special situation
Then again, I’m not so special
The world is oblivious to me
I need to find a way
A way out
Then I found a light
A happier life
But I know no matter
How far I go
The darkness will always be
Calling my name
when two hearts come together your world is full of bliss
your heart begins to pound a feeling you cant miss
you will feel excited and full of happiness
very much in love as you both caress

you will feel a glow and so full of pride
you will feel the love as it grows inside
such a lovely feeling as you begin to kiss
that will last for ever and fill your life with bliss
