You'll know me by the trail behind
Of the hearts I never meant to break
The poor souls I tried to nurture
Fell heavy in my wake
I thought I could keep them warm
While tearing pieces of myself apart
Yet again I was wrong and torn
For putting those pieces into other's hearts
I am so truly sorry for those who ever loved me
It's my fault, but I'm no ****
I was too kind, too beautiful, too much
For making myself everyone's crutch
Death's rose touches everyone's heart
But only once
Because the moment his petals caress your soul,
You're life
is over
.
Im confuddled.
Confused
Bemused

Im in love  with you,
So tender and true,
A love as old as time
But still it feels so new

Im learning  every day and night
What monsters keep you up at night
I think i know how to hold  you right

And keep you so amused

Im fearful that ill loose your  attention.
Im terrified of the things i best not mention
But if i do one thing right in my life.

It would be staying with you. My love.
My life
My wife
Little ember you were a love so bright
But I didn't tend to you
And you dimmed your light
I don't ask much but I plead with all my might
Be my warm, be mine tonight
When she started school she wanted to be a firefighter
Until she felt the sting of the fireplace.
When she was 7 she wanted to be a florist
But found hay fever unbearable.
When she was 10 she wanted to be a nurse
Until she was diagnosed
and had to go to hospital too much.
When she was 12 she wanted to be a hairdresser
But had no hair left to dress.
When she was 13 she wanted to be a pilot and see the world,
By the time she was 15 she had her heart set on it
Until she heard the bad news and decided peace was all she wanted.
By her 16th birthday her long battle had been lost
So she became an
angel
