I told you that you would be the one who got away. Those words still hold true to this day

I told you I would fix your heart break
If me taking the heartbreak helped
Then I'm okay with that.

I told you I loved you to the moon and back
I remember those words as I look at it now

I hope you have someone who reminds you to take your contacts out before you fall asleep

I hope someone reminds you to keep your head up on hard days

I hope someone reminds you that it's just another day

I hope someone calls you randomly cause you love that so much

I hope he treats you like a queen
Cause you were mine

For the next guy. Take care of her?
Like I was never capable of

I realized now that timing is what's everything.
Are time just wasn't then

My hope for you is that you are happy
That you make the best out of life
I saw what you were capable of

You changed the way I saw relationships
You changed the way I saw love
You changed the way I feel
You changed my passion of life
I see thing clearer
I see things brighter
You gave me that light in life
I'm chasing that light now
I'm finding it in my dreams

I will leave you with these memories

This is it my dear

The time has come

To say our final

Goodbye
I have fallen harder
i have loved deeper
i have kissed with passion
i have ****** out of love
i have been broken
i have been pushed around
i have ****** out of hate

i have nothing left.


i now put my heart in a vault
the steel walls protect it
doesn’t let anyone in
doesn’t let anything out
“Practice safe *** they say”
Keeping my heart in this vault
Practices safe love.


the key to this vault?
its been thrown away so many times
i couldn’t tell you where it is
one day i will find it again.
until then i will practice safe love.
As i stand on the edge of reason
looking my fate in the eye
i realize this is it
my mind is gone
The kiss on the cheek seals the deal
take me from this place
take my soul once and for all
(Fell off the edge)
I think poetry is amazing because one poem can have so many interpretations and thats what draws me to it. This is my version of that.
Words there spoken not proven
Actions there done but not shown
A kiss leaves a mark but not forever
******* but no passion
Love is said but not meant
Goodbye is said and its forever

She is as a quilt.
Soft from use
Threads unraveling
The squares and the pattern
Reveal her history
Dark at times
Moments of brightness
Blinding pain
And the incomparable color of hope.
See the pictures sewn into the patchwork squares?
The one with the tears?
The lonely figure walking the streets.
That was when her world was lost.
See the bird on the one in the middle?
That is when she learned she could fly.
The ship in the corner?
That is when she found her soulmate.
She is as a quilt.
Soft from use.
She covers those she loves.
Warms them
Protects them
Comforts them
Provides them with a soft place
To land.
She is as a quilt.
Soft from use.
People come and see
Her imperfections
They pull at her threads
The tsk tsk with their clicking tongues
They tell her to take better care
That she is looking worn
They pull at her threads
And she unravels.
She is as a quilt.
Soft from use.
Beautiful in her imperfection.
