you are a drug to me
my mind is warn down and tired
of the reoccurring thoughts of you

a broken record on repeat.

but my heart still wants you desperately.
you are no good for me
but i crave you
your stories, your laugh,
your touch, and the way
you cared about me
so deeply
for a moment in time.

The fear in losing yourself
is incomparable
to the relief you will feel
in finding yourself

The beautiful thing is
                                        life goes on.
even when the rain begins
and the dark clouds roll in
                                        flowers will be growing.
There is beauty in darkness.
you must open your mind enough to see it,
feel it,
let it consume you.

I hope you are being you
            as I am being me.
                                            this is what will bring
                                            us together darling.

you must find beauty
in the cracks of your soul
the little broken pieces
are what set you apart
from others,
this is where
the light shines through
where your beauty is
illuminated.

behind the promises
             the poetry
             the music
             the endless conversations with
                your hazel eyes
                that said more than
                your lips ever could
was your hollow heart
        your hollow love.
