“..and I may love you way too much but I can see everything I’ll ever need in the color of your eyes, I can feel all the comfort I’ll ever crave in the interlocking of our fingers, and the only song I ever want to hear again is the sweet sound of your voice because it is the only thing loud enough in this world to drive away my demons”

I wrote your name out with the leaves
but the wind blew it around
I carved your name in the bark of a tree
but the lightning struck it down
I drew your name in the sand
but the waves washed it away
So I carved your name into my skin
and forever will it stay.
Everywhere else forgot your name
the bark, the sand, the leaves
I needed you out of my head
but you're still stuck under my sleeve.
k.l.s.

When I was little
I never understood the phrase
"laughter is the best medicine"
I never got how laughing could make someone healthier
but that was all before you
I used to be sick in the head until you came around
depressing thoughts constantly flooding my mind
infecting all the good in me
but then we met
and I heard your laugh
which swam to my veins
pushing all my bad thoughts away
planting flowers in my mind
that was when I learned
that just one little chuckle from you
could heal any sickness I had
you're laugh is the best medicine I've ever been prescribed.
k.l.s.

i'm trying to forget you
but sometimes the memories sneak out of my eyes
and roll down my cheeks
and I miss the times when you were my happiness
but now you're my sadness too
and I can feel you forgetting me
pushing me out of your life
i don't even know why I'm trying so hard to stay.

You were everything good in my life
but if things lasted forever
the sun would never set
and coffee wouldn't cool
most importantly, you would still love me
but nothing gold can stay
no matter how many times i beg you not to leave
I cannot keep my grasp on you any tighter
and my fingers are slipping
because they are wet with blood
and tears that have been shed
my body is numb, my brain, dead
my heart is week
but my feelings for you have never been stronger
yet I cannot hold onto to you
for as much as I love you
they tell me if I love something I must let it go
and I am trying to let go
but I feel like I am letting go completely
for my body is shutting down
and you'll be gone soon
taking my what's left of my happiness along
but you might as well have taken my life

I need to stop believing that one day
you're going to come running back
sorry for all of the pain you caused me
because my life is not a movie
and sometimes there's no closure,
no happy ending
my life is not a fairy tale,
my love, you are not my prince
k.l.s.

I love you
more than the sun,
the moon,
and all of the stars.
And never,
will I ever,
have to travel the world,
because I already see thousands of galaxies,
in your eyes.
Maybe its over dramatic,
to call you my world.
But every time we fight,
mine seems to stop turning,
and if you were to ever leave,
it would crumble,
into a big pile of demolished buildings,
and broken pieces of myself.
k.l.s
