If you fall in love with a writer
Be prepared for heartbreak.
Those writers, they are hopeless romantic.
They love, not just with heart
But body, and soul; They love
With their words, and all things old.
And yet, they do not know often
How to use those words, unless through a pen.
Their silence will hurt you
Not once, but over and over again.

If you fall in love with a writer
There is no happily ever after.
They'll push and pull away from you
Those writers, they'll run and hide.
Then write about you, for you, only you
And arise; But it's a vicious cycle
And you cannot get by.
For some writers do not know happy,
For others, ever after is a myth.
They know their hearts, but not their minds,
I apologize but it is the bitter truth.

If you fall in love with a writer
Be ready to live forever.
You become their only words
And their words become only you.
Pages after pages of them inked
Maybe, a spoken few.
Whether you will it or not
You're their only truth, all else is a lie.
Because as the saying goes -
*"If a writer falls in love with you,
You can never die."

"I fell in love once..."
Said the hag to juvenile eyes,
Open wide, glinting with wishes
That have yet to die.
Shining above smiles of
Innocent mischief.

"What was it like?"

A throaty laugh crept in reply,
Lingering in ears
As she gently whispered
"As if death had been delivered"
She whimpered,
Then wrinkled eyes flickered
"My heart eaten away by blisters!
Skin once warm,
Grew cold and withered;
In the light your flesh will shiver.
Minds shrink and quickly close,
Thoughts become lost behind
Endless doors.
And that ******* Hope,
Sticks bony fingers down throats.
You'll choke, on emotions that don't grow.
It's an illusion of the unknown,
That's birthed when you're alone
I fell in love once, and forever
It left me undone.
Heartstrings severed by
Infinite measures.
The aches, the pains
Instilled in poisoned brain.
Love is a disease, and so quickly
It consumed me
Never to leave, never to leave...
It lies asleep 'tween weak heartbeats
And nights where heavy breathes.
A spell that beauty shall beseech
Your heart to let reach
And once inside,
It writhes like a twisted centipede
That shall crawl within till
Memories are laid thin.

I fell in love once,
And in love I still am,
For once under the curse,
Eternally you are ******."

The children eyed the old woman
Between their stars, a darkness woven.

I think I may
just need some help
I love you more
than life, itself

there's nothing that
I wouldn't do
to make sure I
wake up to you

I put my future
in your hands
let you take care
of all my plans

I just hope "we"
don't take too long
but then, you've never
steered me wrong
