Lets
ruin ourselves
for
each other.

Lets
savor the
squandered
potential
later,

when
we look back
fondly
on
what
we could have
been.

What's a little distance and time,
when they're the only two things
left standing between you and I?

The big picture looms
as if it were a thunderhead,
shadowing us all in entirety.

Sometimes it's difficult
to notice the little things
in this dusky light.

But, never stop looking.
Don't give up the fight.

Dawn will come,
and banish the night.

I don't care
if they grow everywhere,
I still think
that each one is beautiful.

It's not easy
trying to decide
on whether to run
or whether to hide.

Because she's a storm,
a torrent of sorts,
and I'm terrified of
falling overboard.
Rain on me.

She's ******* ****,
like biting your lower lip and
pulling your hair out ****.
Lazy Sunday morning ****,
the kind of **** that lingers
and continues to surprise me
when I least expect it.

My teeth ache in yearning
to knot my fingers up in
her oceanic waves,
my teeth ache for her
on the bridge above.

I know,
I know there lies no answer
in the bottom of this glass.
On occasion though,
it certainly kills the question.
And yes I know,
this glass holds no peace,
but it certainly makes telling yourself,
you've found as much
a little easier.
And yes,
yes I know.
The glass holds little more than a slight reprieve
from self loathing,
from guilt,
from the colossal weight upon my shoulders.
But it seems you,
and hope,
are always gone.
And the glass is always here.

I miss you,
when the wind flows like music
through the trees.
And I hear it as I once did your laughter.
I miss you,
when the sun sets
and I see it as I once did your smile
beneath your now sorrowed eyes.
I miss you,
when the stars hang high
and I find myself cold and alone in the dark,
for lack of your warmth.
But I miss you most at night,
when I wake up in an empty bed
searching for what's not there.

My love,
         take your time
It's all yours,
         take it off my hands
         (which bleed with it)
And if you prefer to steal it,
         that is not a crime,
         but peel your affection
         (layer by layer)
         from my heart
         (slowly)
         See how I've given you
A head start?

another bullet fired
another one killed
how am i supposed to react?
do i write a speech on gun control? do i condemn a gunman's actions i could never fathom?
should i think of the ones who won't live to see another day?

another gun loaded
another life scarred
let me write a Facebook post about the victim
let me take a deep breath and articulate my feelings
and wonder why a young woman who was living her dream have to die in front of her brother and fans
this is about christina grimmie, a few hours ago, she was shot and killed at her own concert. the shooter then killed himself on the spot. (no comments on gun control whatsoever . im not american, guns are banned in my country and i just dont want to get into talking about that stuff)
