I want to kiss you
I want to feel the electricity between us
I want to light the flames in your heart
I want to burn the world with our passion
I want everyone to dream about us
I want our love to be the storybook children get to read
I want to be open
I want to be close
I want to float into the sky without worry
I want to kiss you
I hope you want that too

you are warm
not in heat
but in your presence
i feel the safety one can only feel
when they are curled up in a blanket
cuddled on a chair cushion
with a good book
and the words that pass your lips
dance on these pages
while a fire crackles in the distance
and i am cozzy in your warmth
Melanie Jackson Jan 2022
love is like an epic poems
with stanzas that jump
with smiles and frowns
with never-ending lines
and ongoing stories
some will bring you to tears
but ours,
that will bring you to smile

im falling
for someone who loved me first
someone who wants me
and that feels amazing
Melanie Jackson Jan 2022
it was never the right time
so i broke my heart
by staying with you and refusing to let us fizzle out
i knew you would break me
knew this would hurt
so why did i let you make me take the fall

the sun can shine
you can look happy
and the wind can still freeze
and you can still be crying
even when you seem perfectly fine
even when it seems you are as happy as you can be
you can still feel useless
drifting through the wind
just like a piece of garbage
you can still feel like your already six feet under
like no one wants you
like your already dead
even if you hide it perfectly
Melanie Jackson Jan 2022
i wish i could give you my pain
not to hurt you
i would never wish that
but so that you could understand
I'm not broken
or shattered
i am beautifully rebuilt
