Rumi

A lover asked his beloved,
Do you love yourself more
than you love me?

The beloved replied,
I have died to myself
and I live for you.

I’ve disappeared from myself
and my attributes.
I am present only for you.

I have forgotten all my learning,
but from knowing you
I have become a scholar.

I have lost all my strength,
but from your power
I am able.

If I love myself
I love you.
If I love you
I love myself.

Thinking Out Loud

Crazy

Together,*
we possess
just
the right amount
of *CRAZY
to
burn up our future
or
light up our world.

But
for now,
the only thing
that is certain
is that we
struck the match
and
the darkness has
disappeared,
which makes for a
*beautiful beginning.

<3

Independent

Be my fuel, my source of comfort,
But don't hurt me.
Be my light,
But don't leave me in the dark.
Be my battery,
But don't die on me.
Be my warmth,
But don't suffocate me.
Be my veins, but don't burst.
Be my ink, but don't blot.
Be my music, but don't end.

*Be my heart, and please, don't break.

Its not me I'm worried about, it's you. Don't bleed again, please.

DaSH the Hopeful

Burning in Love

Antidepressants on antidepressants*
I've been so depressed yet you stay majestic
You stand in my flames
They just enlighten your features
I burn more brightly and char at your feet just
Looking into those eyes
What a gorgeous demise
Yet the only way I'd die
Is if you severed all ties
I could live as a picture in your beautiful mind
And every time you remembered me **I'd be fine
