"Their faces change into one of disgust
And their mouths only open to spit out venomous words
As the tears that have betrayed me, roll down my cheeks,
They point and laugh.
Yet the water that escapes my eyes is all for show,
Only for their satisfaction.
As I turn and run down the hall,
A grin overcomes my frown.
I laugh it off as I skip home,
Forever never living in doubt"

His skin was one of tissue paper almost; So delicate yet could tear under the simplest touch. I believe his heart was too.

And then I met you,
And it became clear;
My meaning was to make your life worth living"

"Hands around my waist,
Your warmth engulfs me.

Whispering in my ear,
Your secrets are my desire.

The rhythmic beat of your heart,
It demands mine to follow suit with a few skips along the way.

Your love dominating the space of the atmosphere,
Taking my breath away with it"

"My heart is a pre-owned game,
with you being the current controller.

Having being reset over and over,
I am hoping that you will be the one to pass the level and clock me,
body and soul"

"What has become of myself?
Never ever have I been seen like this.

You have stripped me right down,
everything on view for your piercing naked eyes.

Don't be fooled,
You have gone a lot further than the fabric on my skin.
You have been past the blood in my veins,
and,
all of my tender muscles.

Much further than the burn of my sarcasm,
and,
the shield in my blue orbs.

You have journeyed successfully to my heart,
and,
have caressed it in your fingertips.

I ask that you don't look further on and gouge your fingernails into the flesh,
ripping and tearing apart my soul.

Although I think we both know that if my final breath was drawn from that,
Your  name would still be the last word that would seal away the oxygen for good"

Is this what love is? Heart racing, palm sweating, high-feeling love?
If this is the truth then why doesn't he look the same way? Maybe he just hides it well.
Maybe it was never there after all.

If this is love, then please, count me out.

If you are reading this
Than you have survived it all.

Heartbreak and love,
Tears and pain,
Devastation and disappointment.

Yet, wow!
Look at this,
Here you are.
You go you awesome *******,
You rock.
You are still here and you will make it
