Love
It's your voice that caught her attention first,
The tragic eyes that bloomed her desire,
The beautiful smile that stole her heart.

It's the way you move that made her stop,
The song you played that changed her mind,
The way you treated her that pushed her *away.
Kailey Brown May 2015
Our love faded away like the summer fades to fall.
The warmth that was once there isn't there at all.
Just as the leaves fall from the trees,
My feelings for you are no longer seen.

Like the landscape in late fall, our beauty has turned grey.
There was nothing that anyone could do and nothing to say.
I tried everything I could to stop my freezing heart,
But my love for you still froze and quickly fell apart.

I imagine that you are Fall and I am Winter
Because your love is the growing tree and mine is a splinter.
I imagine that Winter is sorry for Fall,
because she takes everything from him, after all.

I am the cold dark winter, I am sorry to say.
There is nothing Fall can do to make that go away.
Winter may be cold, and it may be lonely,
But that isn't as bad as her feeling so sorry.

It is not on purpose that Winter harms Fall.
There was no intention that she can recall.
Because Winter loves Fall, despite what he thinks.
But her need for him to stay was gone in a blink.
I'm sorry, but sometimes I have to do what's best for myself. Even if it may not seem to be best for you...

Sometimes while looking in the mirror, I think to myself
I'm okay being me
I look alright
I am alright
And this is all I need
(It's not all that I want)
(but this is all that I need)
You deserve to be happy (I hope you do whatever it is that will make you happy)

authentic
We were lukewarm hearts and cups of coffee
Breakfast in bed on Sunday morning
Videos of laughter and short-lived occurrences
Late night drives with the radio too loud
Saturday afternoon movies and naps
And a box of letters that ended in
P.S. I love you

You should have seen it,
The way the fire flies from her mouth;
The way the embers sparkle on her lips;
The way her tongue flames.
She is a work in progress,
But god, the way she shines...
When she speaks
You can hear the passion build in her voice.
She may not be perfect,
But oh my, is she lovely.  
You should have seen it.
