Such a mess
That's been
Left behind

An endless expanse
Of exposed emotions
And discarded devotion

As usual,
I pick up
The pieces
And put things
Back together

But unlike before
You're not welcome
Back here
Anymore.

l.v.s

Choosing to overwhelm yourself
With neglect and negativity
Has left a mark on your soul

I reach out my hand
I offer my arms

But nothing gets through to you anymore
You stare through me
Like stained glass
I'm simply more emotions
That blur your view.

l.v.s

Through your
Dancing in delight
You bring light
To my days

Diverting my attention
From dark thoughts
To those
Of affection.

l.v.s

You could hold me for the rest of your life
But if you don't tell me why you want to
It won't touch me as much as it probably should.

l.v.s

Why would I want to learn you,
When you don't even want to know yourself?

Why would I want you in my mind,
When you don't give yourself a second thought?

Why would I listen to your speeches,
When all you have to say is nothing of interest?

l.v.s and IM

Expressive eyes
Full of wonder
And curiosity

Remind me of
Something pure
Of childhood
Of kindness

It's not something
I see too often

Genuine and unfaltering
Fascination with life

l.v.s

How dare you
Treat me as if
I'm nothing

It's rather simple
And straight forward
To have something casual
With equal effort
And respectful
Communication

If you think
You can
Treat me
Like
A cloth
To clean
The dust
From your
Boot
You're
Wrong

I'm not
Just here
For you to
Wipe yourself
With then
Be rid of

I am
A human

I am
A woman

And I deserve
To be treated
As such

If you
Can't
Have
Human
Decency
Then stay
Away
From
Me.

l.v.s
