I can't go to sleep at night because I can't stop thinking about how nice it'd be to sleep in your arms.
My head on your shoulder,
And my hand on your chest.
How much warmer it would be
To be sleeping in your arms,
Rather than sleeping in an empty bed.
I can't sleep because my mind is so busy going over
every little thing I love about you.
Thinking about how much I just want to spend every single night with you
and wake up next to you every morning.
I love you so much
I HATE THAT YOU LIVE SO FAR AWAY

I really wanted to hold your hand in the summer of 14 while driving listening to AM
I really wanted to continue our notebook of thoughts and ideas until it was full so we could put them to life
I really wanted to explore Dallas holding your hand even though you didn't fancy affection in public
I really wanted to make you smile for months and on, maybe even years
I really wanted to read to you while you rested your head on my chest
I really wanted to make you dinner at your house when you got hungry and there was nothing already cooked and ready to eat
I really wanted to be your Fred Astaire
I really wanted to play you songs on my piano when your sadness reached your beautiful soul
I really wanted you to be my 3am thoughts on how lovely you are and how much you amazed me
I really didn't want for me to be a common misconception
I really wanted to be with you, for a long time
I didn't fear loving you
I feared 'forever' ending
Friends and family warned us from the very start
To not write in ink on our fading paper hearts
If we do we can't rewrite or less erase
Theres the danger of running out of writing space
Words of love are written in dark red ink
While the words that hurt slowly begin to sink
It slowly fades the sound of our hearts to our ears
The only other way to reflect on love is in the tears
The tears we cry night and day, sunset to sunrise
Our way of recovery is to just turn the page and dry our eyes
We live and we learn with or without the glory
That love can be another faded fabled love story
Its up to us to find the perfect author
Like the one who wrote with his voice, the Abba father
Lets let his love be written in our thoughts
Let his love mend the tears and holes in our paper hearts.

Torn.
I could have sworn.
That you had a stone.

What to do with a stone?
To bare
To share

I could tear
I think
Solely to share
To lie by you
Bare.

A stone.
Would I end up back there?

The Rain
The pain

This heart insane.

The Rain
The sane

This heart in pain.

Who could entertain?
Who could complain?

React?
Distract

This dabbling in disdain.
but letting you completely in my heart again
scares me more
everything
everything
everything
everything
everything
in my head
  goes back
           back
           back
   and back
to you
                                      every
                                       time
you're
hurting
me
i
cant
write
any
good
poetry
go
away
pleas­e
and
let
me
write
i really am sorry everyone

Brightest of beings
In sun-surprised February
Flower out of season
You illuminate the night
A falling star
Shower after shower
My sky is empty now

You are in me



Taoi ionam

A bhé luisneach
A ghrian gan choinne i mí Feabhra
A bhláth roimh am
Soilsíonn Tú an oíche
Titeann Tú Id réalta reatha
Sprais i ndiaidh spraise
Is tá mo spéirse anois lom

Taoi ionam
I** hate it.
As the warmth of blankets
forms a burn over my knees.

I lay restless,
thinking.
All I need is you.

Wishing it was different.
Wishing i could have moved your hair behind your ear just once.
Wishing i could see you smile like that time on the beach.

I think back to that time.
I see the waves and taste the salt.
But all i now feel is the burn of blankets
