my mom thinks it’s a hickey on my neck
and i’d rather her think that
than know it’s from your fingers
clamping my throat shut
with rage

you pasted scars all over my back
And showered it with salt
"Did you shout?"
Darling, how I wish I could.
I struggled to make a sound.
Any sound.
A mere whimper is enough to suffice my ears,
Ears that have been worn out by the walls.
Screaming at them.
screaming at me.
only the sound of the whip slashing against my bare skin has been keeping me company.
Hell, it almost sounded like a song.
ever watched the count of monte cristo?

I feel a lot better
When he’s holding my hand
Not my waist
Or by my belt band

But he treats me well
He treats me like a queen
I man I want to marry
A man I want to be
If you understand, I feel for you friend.

I kinda felt like writing a gay poem, considering there’s nothing wrong with that. And whoever disagrees, can *******.

You tell me
You won't ever leave

But that's what everyone else said too
But then I ended up losing them
The way I don't ever wanna lose you

But hey if I do lose you
I'll be okay
Or at least that's what I'll tell myself
Before I fade away

So hey
You tell me you won't ever leave me
And you ask me to never leave you

But one day
I'll be afraid
Your drifting away

So I'll say goodbye
Before you can
Then I'll cry
Because of me
And not because of you

Because
If it's my fault
It'll hurt less

But if it's your fault
I'll wanna put you through a test

What test?
Well
Let's just say

If you leave I'm gonna test
How long can you last?
How long can you withstand my words?
How long until you falter under the words I speak?
How long until you can't stand me repeating the lies you said?
How long until you break?

Because I know just the right things to say
To make you fade away
The way you made me

So please don't leave me
Cause I don't wanna hurt you
But if you do
That's what I'll have to do

Love her. With every once in your being and every elk in your body.
Make sure she knows that you love her and cares because she constantly needs reassurance.
She gets ferociously jealous, It’ll drive you crazy but don’t get angry it means you loves you.
She’s a queen not a princess, Treat her like one. Do the little things they’ll go along way.
bring her flowers especially sunflowers, those are her favorite.
Or do some corky thing like paint red roses yellow, That’s her favorite color.
Some nights she can’t sleep alone, hold her tight, Don’t let her go.
Sometimes she’ll have a huge smile on her face and not know what to say but just know she’ll love it.
Buy her candies and put on movies, Peter Pan especially.
Order pizza and save it for the morning she loves left over pizza.
She has a corky sense of humor that you’ll never find anywhere else, make her laugh the kind where stomach will hurt from laughing to hard.
Always look in those china blue eyes and play with her long blonde hair.
Always tell her how beautiful she is 1000 times a day even if she might not believe you.
If she gets nervous or anxious make sure she knows everything will be ok.
Don’t let the AC run her nose gets irritated. Take random pictures with her even if you hate it because she will love it ,I wish I did.
She loves hand written letters with wax stamps on the back, she likes old fashioned things.
She’ll love you with a depth deeper then any ocean. Love her the same
I hope she sees this one day ... I still love you.

The teenage boy struggling to fall asleep said,
“What am I if I'm not the skinniest guy?  
What am I if I don't have enough abs?
What if I'm not the stereotypical strong man?
Can I still be somebody?
Can I be somebody if I don't have many special talents?
Or if my special talents are what some would call weird?
If I don't make the pros, am I still good enough?
If I don't go to college, is that okay?
If I lose my friends or my family, will I still know who I am?
Will I still be me?”
At this point God stepped in and said,
“Of course you will still be you.  
I created you, I made you, and even if
You don't know who you are, I do.  
You are my special child,
And I knew everything about you from the very beginning.  
So don't worry.  I love you.”
And so the boy let his head fall,
And his eyes close,
And surrendered his everything, his all
To the one who knows.
