We are like a religion.
We, the tired ones. We,
the middle of the night ones.
We, the howl at the moon ones.
We, the aching.

I think I love too easily.

I find it so simple to pick out the best traits in somebody.
I like to know what makes people tick and what makes their pupils dilate. I can fall in love with the way they talk about
their favorite shades of color
and the way they pick out groceries.


I am interested in the way people take their coffee
and if they prefer tea better.
and why
herbal
caffeinated

I find myself loving people for their laughter
and the crinkles beneath their eyes when they smile.
And I think it’s so cute whenever they suppress their grins
when they think of something funny or memorable.
I love the way people talk about life
and what’s on their mind;
it’s nice to know that there is more
more to discuss than the sounds on mattresses
and the type of plant they inhale.
You are beautiful.
I love the way people spill their hearts out when they’re happy
or when they’re sad.

Sometimes, when they don’t let me love them,
it makes me want to love them even more.

And even when they don’t love me back, I still continue to love.

You will learn how to sleep alone
how to avoid the cold corner but still fill a bed
always be friends with the broken people
they will teach you how to survive
you can love someone and hate them
all at once
you can
i have
you can miss them so much you ache
but still
ignore your phone when they hall
ignore them in the hall
You are good at something
whether it's making someone laugh or saying hello
don't ever let anyone tell you that you don't matter
you will always be hungry for love
always
even when someone is sleep next to you
you will envy the pillow touching their check
you will yearn for a love much bigger than you or i or him or her
you want a love of a higher power and a long life
you want serenity
and you want heaven
you want love
and life
and light

I miss the way you looked in my eyes
you were more than enough from me
I loved every part of you
I miss the way you look at me
The way I fit perfectly in your arms
this poem doesn't even rhyme is just captured my stupidity.

I sat there on the grass, watching the sun set
in your arms
perfectly content
your hands on my hips
my head on your chest
I believed you were it all
I knew it in my heart
My lips and your lips were all that I thought.

You held me as I cried
I cried for us
and I cried for you
You held me as I cried
I wept and I wept
I said

What if this love ends
what if it fails
don't give up I will love you forever
and you said
you would too
I wanted you forever
you wanted me forever
the deep the dark the good the sad
You wanted to hold me when it was a mess
I wanted you to be there too forever and ever
and we sealed it with a kiss
and the sunset kissed our kiss
the grass held our love
and you held me

And here I am writing this
and there you are with another girl
giving her your mighty world
and here I am writing this
We even sealed it with a kiss

This love is so deep,
it's more than I can stand.
I melt in your peace,
it's overwhelming.
god song, not mine
i'll close my eyes and pretend
this is not the end
tell myself I can change
better things are within range
~
but i need to face reality
I can feel the deepest memories start to unravel. This is not what I want.

To work is to change
To change is to be willing
To will is to want

And I don't want you anymore.
