If i could give you one thing in my life

i would give you the ability to see yourself through my eyes

only then you will realize how special you are to me
eyes get heavier
strength gets weaker
feet get colder
stomach gets tighter
throat gets drier

I am ill

but what was I before?

Being content is the such a
relieving feeling because
I'm no longer unhappy, but actually
okay with how things are.
And I don't feel stuck,
I feel free.

Contentment, the waist of busy bodies’ blind eye

This constant state might make life pass unnoticed by

And without the essence of our true self to know

Who is to correct the waywardness this world now shows

With technology a constant item of our bliss

We cannot see the natural wonders that we miss

Oh god if you just put down your **** phone

And let the beauty of this world become known

It would fill up the empty feeling in your soul

You get when sitting utterly alone

Because knowing ones own self is a true gift

That comes only to people who actively live

I never thought I could be so content,
with your head in my lap
and your heart in my chest.
Wouldn't that be nice.

He left
I cried

He called me drunk
so I let him
talk.

He rambled on about how
he still
loved me.

I told him
he was drunk and
to leave me alone.

No more contact for
months until
he appeared at my
door
with all my things
and a bitter goodbye.

I hate you.
You smell of strong
cologne that she
buys you.

I see your fingers
intertwine with hers
as I
walk by you two.

No matter what happens
I'll regret falling for
you.
But yet you'll never
regret falling
for me
when we were merely
nothing.

It was not my ear you whispered,
But it was my heart.

And it was not my lips you kissed,
It was my soul.
