I've always known you.
For the past few months, you're all i've experienced.
I saw another though,
he sparked my interest.
You thought I was replacing you,
but I would never.
I was merely exploring different things.
He was nothing like I had ever experienced.
Rough and tough and soft and meek,
all at the same time.
Nothing like the broken little heart of yours.
I was infatuated by every aspect of his being.
The way he walked, talked, functioned, and gleamed.
You spent your time crying for me to come back.
But I wanted him now, and he wanted me.
You left me.
You wanted me to be with you more than you wanted me happy.
You forgot all the memories we made.
The afternoons we spent together,
and the songs we sang as loud as we possibly could.
You left it all, because he made me happy in a way you could not.
I love him, and you can't stand it.
I guess you're gone now.
I'm not sure if our paths will ever cross again,
but in case they do...
I would have never left you,
he still makes me happy,
but I still would have made time for you.
He's here to stay, of that I am sure.
So goodbye, forever.
You don't need me anymore.
This is my first poem, so please be gracious.

It's crazy how a love so pure and so sweet
can change in a split second to so dark and deep.

Thoughts unsaid.
Emotions not felt.

what do you see
looking into eyes
rationalize
glamorize
maybe even fantasize
but eyes are quick to memorize
jeopardize and compromise
the soul, the beat
inner workings deep entwined
try for once to realize
what goes on behind eyes
the hidden fate, the deep despise
the sad attempt to plagiarize
long I wait in callous sighs
to chase the truth and fight the lies
who we are, what  and why
all stricken with our own disguise
waiting for a passerby
to not look
but see
I remember us in bed
the most.
I think about the heat
the burn
the bites and bruises.
I think about the loss of breath
The heaving chests
The white bright lights
and rest.
But more than the fire
I think about the silence
and the way you would put your ear to my chest
and count my heartbeats.
I remember your breath on my neck
your arm around my waist
and all the nothing that was said
and cut me with its loveliness.
I remember us in bed
and try to forget the fire.

What do I know?

I don’t know if you’ve ever loved someone like that
Felt that much electricity in your veins
I don’t know if you’ve ever been so taken with someone
Seen so much in someone else’s eyes
I don’t know if you’ve ever invested so much in a person’s place in your life
Been so carried away in the dream
I don’t know if you’ve ever been so happily/crazily/contentedly in love
Had your heart broken so completely
I don’t know if you’ve ever cried that much
So you might not understand
But some day, chances are, you will and you’ll see
What he did to me
You would see why I tread so lightly
Love is such a dangerous trap to fall into
I don’t know how much of this you’ve felt before
But for your sake I hope you never understand what it feels like
To wake up from the dream, to fall out of love, to regret the happy times that were
To find yourself alone
Of course when you’re so high, it’s a long way down
And it’s only fair to feel myself crashing back into reality
I don’t know if you’ve ever felt such a change in the way you felt about someone
Ever hated just how much you care about someone
I don’t know if you’ve ever felt so disconnected
Ever lost so much
I don’t know if you’ve ever looked back on things
Questioning every step of the way
I don’t know if you’ve ever been as disinterested in hearing
About all the other fish in the sea

You grab a knife
And aim it at your heart
Trying to **** all the failures you have brought
Then you stop
THinking of what you have to start
All Alone
With your minds dark thoughts
Ready to die
Ready to end it all

Don't die
Don't cry
Don't die
You'll stay in my heart no matter

Don't die
Don't cry
Don't die
You'll stay with me forever
I promise you this

If I could
Give you just one thing
If I could
Give you anything

I'd trade my heart
I'd trade my love
I'd trade my life
Just to see the light in your eyes glow

A smile
A whisper
Telling me you're happy
Is all that I would ever need

Don't die
Don't cry
Don't die
You'll always be in my heart

Don't die
Don't cry
Don't die
You'll stay with me forever

I've never dreamt
Of people that I love
So when you ask me if I dreamt about you
I didn't want to tell you yes.

Stomach is tying,
In an interlocking knot,
A constant reminder,
Of an eternal promise.

I am young.
Perhaps a little dumb,
But love is  dumbstrucking,
And a bit niave.

To promise a half.
Your better half.
To never deceive,
Is a heavy choice.

But here i am.
Taking the plunge.
And promising.
I'll stay stuck in love.
