before you, sad poems are all i know
words that bleed
pages blotched with tears

my poems were colder than snow
words that plead
torn pages of fears

i thought misery is all i need
to write poems from the soul
until you came

you changed my writing creed
this broken girl felt whole
now my poems will never be the same

thank you for changing the game

even when the darkest of clouds begin to form
i still love you when you're storm
even when my heart gets ripped by pain
i still love you when you're hurricane

even the darkest parts of you bring light
even the darkest parts of you shine bright
everything that's wrong seems right
when i have every reason to give up, i'll fight

when everything's messed up and lost
that's when love matters most

i cannot write you poetry
for i searched the entire dictionary
thought of every hyperbole, metaphor, and simile
you are beyond the most beautiful kind of poetry

i cannot write you a song
tried to find the perfect notes all day long
every melody and harmony sounded wrong
you cannot be fathomed by any song

the most profound thoughts seemed so shallow
the most meaningful lines became hollow
any form of literature cannot follow
you are more than anything that the world can show.

inevitably,
i will always care for you
even if you don't

that's why it haunts me
how easy it was for you
to dispose of me

i never gave up
when that's all you ever did
can't you fight for me?

5-7-5 lines
will it ever be enough?
when i never was?

how many haikus
do i ever need to write
to reach you again

it is described where two oceans meet
but what if it is actually the place
where two oceans drift apart?

they are adjacent to each other
but they never mix
nature's tragic piece of art
