I want to write about you
you bring out the emotions I need
but right now
it hurts too much

-h.w.
Hannah Oct 2014
I didn't know it was possible
to smell you on my skin
so long after I had scrubbed away
any evidence that you had been there

yet you still linger
a ghost among my perfume
miles away
and alive in my senses

-h.w.
I'm hurting so much these days
Hannah Oct 2014
Although I’m afraid of heights
If you were a skyscraper
I would climb to your highest point
just to see your point of view

And although I’m afraid of the unknown
If you were the ocean
I would swim through your depths
just to greet the angels and demons
that dwell within you

And although I am afraid of rejection
If you were Harvard Law
I would write you a thousand applications
Just for a chance to take up your time

Although I am afraid of commitment
I would tattoo your name across my chest
and burn your initials into my heart
just to show you

I’m not afraid
of you

-h.w.
All my poems are about a boy sigh
Hannah Oct 2014
We don’t talk so often anymore
and you are miles away
but I hope you know
that you remain my home

and lately I've been feeling homeless

-h.w.
I just really miss you

Communication is the key
but my hands are shaking
as I start the ignition

-h.w.

I sat outside tonight
and watched them smoke their cigarettes
as the campfire mingled with my lungs

As the smoke cleared
and the light faded
I thought to myself

that I would much rather
inhale you

-h.w.
(someone commented something on one of my poems that gave me the idea for this poem so shout out to you!)

Surely it isn't healthy
to be this attached to someone
who has only ever called me beautiful
when his mind was soaked in alcohol

-h.w.
Why won't you love me?
