Tic-Toc, Tic-Toc,
The clock plays it's infernal tune,
No care whatsoever,
I wish the clock will stop.

Tic-Toc, Tic-Toc,
My stomach turned,
My heart dropped,
My eyes began to water.

I stare at the man before me,
The man who did wrong,
The man that caused me grief,
I look away, not wanting to look at him.

Tic-Toc,
I closed my eyes,
Listening to the ticking,
Wishing for it to be over
I wrote this while I was at court.

darkness is for those who believe too much
believing too much is for those who are darkness

You
You looked at me with
those beautiful eyes of yours

Your hair was messy
but little did you know
that I loved it that way

And you'll never know
I lost the moment
like I always do


But what even made me think
that I was good enough
For someone like *you?

I never knew your eyes were blue
not until the meeting
The uncertainty felt overpowering
Your eyes were still blue when I looked again
I never thought I liked blue eyes
but there you sat
quiet and quite loveable
I never wanted to give myself away
because of fear, lack of courage
Yet here I am
Ready to give myself away like a flower ready for the bees to come
I'm just not sure you and your blue eyes will take me in

I get so giddy whenever you are near
My glances turn into stares.
I try hard to fight these feelings
But instead I fall deeper each day.

chasing vapors
i hate the smell of the alcohol
because it inflames my throat
as it passes through my lungs
and run out of breath

i hate the smell of your scent
because it aches my head
as memories come back
and lose control

i hate the smell of the cigarette
you used to drag off
when you were nervous
distressed and upset

i am that lungs
you promised to keep
but now why are you
impulsively killing me?

if you would do anything for that someone
and never ask for a thing in return.
if you’re starting to love their flaws,
including them in your prayers
and fall for them even more
every time you look into their eyes.
if you are more yourself when with them
than you are with anybody else.
if you’re willing to wait
no matter how long it would take.
if you keep on thinking of them,
if you care for them
and if you won’t do anything
that would hurt them
as much as you could.
if you can see yourself
growing old with that person
and put their happiness before yours,
if you are willing to sacrifice everything
just to be with them,
to make them happy,
even if that very thing is life,
**you’re in love.

I tried to let you go so many times
but your very existence is woven into mine
you are written between every line
will I ever find all the words to explain
this sensation called love by any other name
I love video games and chocolate
and other miscellaneous objects
but what I really love is none of these things
when I compare them to you
for everything else pales in comparison
like seeing the world all a new
you have become the light to my eye
the sun that shines through darkened sky
the very life that will never die
you are the breath in my lungs
what's left of my song.

In reality this poem is just a mirage
an illusion  of what really is
for what is can never be imagined
it can't be captured by a thought
or ever held in just a feeling.
What really is
what you are
is love.


So I can never let you go
as I never had you to begin with
you were my illusion
because you are love
you left me as confusion
because you are love
you are a paradox
we are a pair of socks
but one is missing
I am the odd sock
this is the unsolvable riddle
the one that will always get lost
a maze that starts and ends in the middle.
*This is love.
God is love.
You are love.
I am love.
We are love.
