Both can ****
        The only difference is
                      Cigarettes shatter lungs
         She shatters everything

            I remembered the first moment
my lips pressed the filter
     as I lit it up breathed it all
                savored every smoke
       as if we covered up painful lies
        in a container of painkillers

The same way  
we used to pressed our lips
     sparked something between us
           savored every moment we had
    as if our love was a rose
               in a valley of tulips

Love her.
Love her like she is a masterpiece that you saw in a gallery
She just stuck out

Her raven hair
Long and elegant lines carved by a brush
Her eyes
Bright colours that shine even in the darkest nights
Her delicate curves
Flowing down the canvas
Her emotions drown you in a feeling you can't describe
One too powerful for words
Her laugh drenches you in a feeling of utter enjoyment
Her texture is soft and tranquilizing
You get so lost in her presence.

Love her.
Love her like she is a masterpiece you saw in a gallery
She just stuck out.

I fall apart everyday
wish you could feel
what I felt
but I know you too well

If "I love you" was a promise
you couldn’t keep it
just be honest
I’ve heard it before
you don’t love me anymore

Hands getting cold
your love for me has gotten old
tell me
was I made from a broken mold?

Your words, I still hear
your lips, I still feel
against my ear
only you’ve disappeared

If "I love you" was a promise
you couldn’t keep it
just be honest
I’ve heard it before
you don’t love me anymore

Why promise the stars and moon
You can't even give your time?
Why promise never to forget
You can't even remember a date?
Why promise to last forever
When it's hard to last even a day?

Don't make your love
Sound like so grand
When you can't offer
Your heart and mind

Why let us needlessly cling on
And in the end
Makes it harder for us to move on?

be tender with
whispered "i love yous"
be gentle with
promises of forever
use these words carefully
weave them slowly into your vocabulary
for they are the promises that hurt the most
when they are broken

Don't make me fall in love
if you aren't there to catch me.
Don't make me cry
if you aren't there to wipe away my tears
and tell me everything will be alright.
Don't make me think about our future
if you aren't planning to be there.
Don't make promises
if you don't want to keep them.
Don't say you love me
if you don't really mean it.
Just don't.

- the poetic fairy

You’d never leave : you’re no where to be found.
You’d never hurt me : You put my heart in the ground.
You’d always keep me up : You shot me down.
You’d never lie to me : You made a fib everytime you made a sound.
You’d stay loyal : You made me look like a clown.
You’d always love me : I never feel it when you’re around ..

I think about our future cat
that is, if you wanted more.
Would we have too many to pat
or would they be ours to adore?
We'd argue over countless names
in between our countless grins-
these perfect moments hung in frames,
soaked in pure love and the finest gins.

One to stop the anger.
Two to stop the voices. 

Three to stop the verbal abuse. 

Four to stop the manipulation. 

Five to stop the betrayal. 

Six to stop the physical pain.
Seven to stop the mental pain. 

Eight to stop the confusion.
Nine to stop the paranoia.

Ten to stop breathing.
