You are my cup of tea.
*And you are the sugar that kills me.
your looks are like a sun
every summer you become hotter
and since i'm attracted to beauty
it won't take much for me to spot her

your eyes are like water
because as i stare into them
it feels as i'm watching currents flow in the sea
so i guess the blue in your eyes has hypnotized me

your looks are like a heaven
one look at you fills me up with joy
it even makes me feel heaven's scent
now that's a feeling i must enjoy

your body's like a grave
cause when fall into it it feels i'm a step closer to death
so as i sink into your waters
my best bet is to hold my breath

your personality is like an broom
just being around you has me swept
your mind is like a treasure chest
that's where all my secrets are kept

all of these things together makes you a goddess
even the girl of my dreams
but either way it goes
these words classify you as a queen
funny thing is this actually shows part of what my dream girl possesses
I'm so ******* sick and tired of being just someone to you. I start to wonder if it matters who I am or if the presence of a body is all you need by your side to provide you with comfort at night. The friends and the nights of sleep I have lost for you are mountains in comparison of what you've given up for me- which is minimal, maybe just some time and your sanity. Your hands have held onto me for so long you don't remember what it feels like to be without. The cold between your fingers has been long overdue and I have been so worried about you getting frostbite I forgot to keep myself warm so I am left with a frozen heart. I would build you monuments and you would tell me it blocks the view of your precious sunset. I would sail the entire see to grab the sun and bring it back to you and you would tell me your skin is burning from the intensity. So it seems to me nothing I do, no amount of effort I put in will ever be enough, but at the same time it will be too much. So is it asking a lot to want the same treatment in return? All I ask is for adventures and surprises, maybe a second out of your day where you do something for my benefit.. But you're too busy stuck inside the monument I built for you and basking in the rays of the sun I brought to you only to never realize that I am frozen in your embrace. Parts of myself have been lost inside your arms, and hidden away beneath your sheets. I do not like what I've become, a mere shell casing of who I've been. Extrovert turned introvert by love's sinister embrace.

I love you
You probably think im full of ****
But I do, I love you
I may not know your name
or your struggle
I may not know where you've been
or where you are going but just know
I love you
I'm not talking about basic love
I love you in the purest sense of the word
I don't love what you can do for me but for who you are
I love the depths of you that can't be seen
I love your quirks that you think are too weird for "normal" human interaction
I love the way that your heart makes a beat that is the rythm to your life
Pure beauty

I want you to listen to it
do you hear it?
Now dance.
Dance to its beat,
it is unique and it is yours.
Made for you, by you
Dance until people call you insane
Dance because you are color
In a black and white world

Let's dance together.
I'll dance to my beat and you to yours
We will dance in perfect tandem
while the rest of the world is deaf to our music.
Some people don't understand how I love others so easily. I'm blind to how they can't.

Shanijua
The clock strikes 3:30 and the pit behind the school opens.
We feast on the smell of burning skin and sunscreen.
There is chaos as instruments are strewn across the back room,
No exits and the doors are blocked.
My eyes slide past his but I'm too burned out to care.
Freshmen are the worst,
Insisting on acting as if
They are four year olds.
Not a second late, for Whit is never late.
I have lost feeling in my legs
Still I have perfect
Technique just as he does. Water.
Water does not have an existence in this world.
Heat and sun have taken over.
Our tuba players have given up,
There they lay down in the burning
Grass. He never complains.
As I'm close to my breaking point,
Air no longer passes my
Lips and not one note escapes my keys.
The perfect string of notes and rhythm
Sound from my left. He never missed
A note.
March it back,
March it back,
March it back sixteen counts.
An endless routine.
Opening set.
These single words are bitter sweet.
In ten minutes I am free to go home
And write poetry about him.
For many,
the first skims the cream off naivety
perhaps too swiftly.
It's frantic.
Filled with awkward urgency
to reach a milestone.
So it goes
For-evermore.
Hardly a chance to savour its parting
Too green to fathom the sway of regret.

The second spars for individuality.
Experimentation, Development
experience.
Other boxes ticked.
Lessons learned.
Rawness verses prowess
'till one bows out exhausted
and the other learns,
eventually,
how to recover
and strengthen.

Hardened,
the third treads carefully.
Logic and wisdom
balancing with basic needs.
It is more selfish
and yet, more generous.
A slow exposure.
Relaxed standards
yet, heightened self-respect.
Honesty and acceptance.
A comfortable settlement of equality.
If it does or does not last
it will be the last
either way
for many.
