I asked you if you still loved me
you said of that you aren’t sure
of all the feelings you have for me
I know the one to be the most pure

I can tell it in the way you speak
punctuating sentences with force
barring the romantic semantics
one word answers, delivered coarse

I’d like to apologize for my mistakes
and say I’m sorry to this day still
I’d like to say I understand, I know
but I don’t, and I never will

I have broken you so ruthlessly
I have given you a hurt so deep
I can’t forgive myself for this
nor blame you for the hate you keep

If you were to love me
and I were to love you
think of all the things
we two could do

we’d eat sushi in our underwear
watch horror films in black and white
we’ll rest in the windowsill
and sing in the pale moonlight

If you were to love me
and I were to love you
think of all the schemes
bound to ensue

we’d draw on one another
making false tattoos and notes
writing our obscure thoughts
and scribing our favorite quotes

If you were to love me
and I were to love you
think of all the dreams
that we’d make true

we’d lie around our apartment
staring at the high ceiling
listening to our favorite record
there’s nothing more appealing

so say that you love me
and I will say to you
darling, my darling
of course I love you too

The snow on the ground
slides away into the earth
flowers make their ascent
the world is in rebirth

the moon descends
the larks raise voice
the world alive in light
all hearts rejoice

we have braved the cold
this is our reward to reap
the world is slowly waking
from its seasonal sleep

so taste the wonder
of a world in revive
with so much beauty in life
it’s beautiful to be alive

Those green eyes
that penetrate and burn
I’m instantly smitten
you think that I’d learn

nothing good ever comes
from a girl with beautiful eyes
they know how to deceive
and make me believe their lies

but the endorphins flow
my heart is racing away
maybe I’ll learn my lesson
but I won’t learn it today

Hair like mint
lips like lust
cries like thunder
with every ******

Eyes like diamonds
heart like coal
but I fell in love
with her phoenix soul

her body like grace
transcends from above
the light to my life
with a lust like love

I am my own biggest critic
second thoughts; parasitic
with eyes harshly analytic
leave my hand paralytic

my pen has become sedentary
words won’t come as necessary
what used to be so elementary
no longer comes as secondary

I read and re-read obsessively
I write and re-write aggressively
until a poem forms progressively
until a poem forms successfully

I wish I could make you see yourself
they way I see you every single day
a glowing figure of absolute radiance
holding more luster than the milky way

I wish I could make you hear yourself
the way in which you meet my ears
with one word you hold all emotions
you speak to my joys, and my fears

I wish I could make you love yourself
in the way I adore, ever devout
don’t let them tell you you aren’t glorious
you are perfect, never have a single doubt
