You are worth more than
An empty night of half-hearted
I love you’s.

Refuse to let them love
only the idea of you.

Stop breaking your own heart
You are worth more than that.

on the days i do not love myself,
you love me for the both of us.

i’m sorry i didn’t kiss you.
i find myself repulsive today.

I think I was always meant to love you,
or rather,
I think I have always loved you.

Since the first supernova.
Since the first time the Earth breathed life into her soil.

I think that I have loved you for lifetimes.

In this one
It’s no wonder my soul said,
“Oh hello there, I know you.”
“I’ve been waiting.”

Our souls have been intertwined,
for millennia upon millennia.

Lifetime after lifetime,
I have loved you;
Lifetime after lifetime,
I have found you.

Time and time again,
I will love you;
Time and time again,
I will find you.

Mon cœur est à toi.
My heart is yours.

Lifetime after lifetime.
Time and time again.

I think we have always been soulmates.

Give your weary hands a break,
They have shaken too much today.
I will hold them
Kiss your palms until they’re full of love
And love away the bruises on your knuckles
Rest now, my  love
It’s okay
I’ve got you

Wading waist-deep in murky ocean water.
I sense the life that exists within these waves
           and
feel the loose sediment of the ocean floor brush against me with every push and pull of the tide
as it kisses the shore.
These long suffered nightmares of you wash away as I depart from the sea.
Tragedy shall no longer burden these
                       sun-kissed
                  shoulders of mine.
I exhale all the pain you’ve caused me as the water cascades down my skin.
They say that every 7 years, your body is comprised of brand new and untouched cells.
I find comfort in knowing that this year
I will grow into a body that you’ll have never
touched.
Ah, yes.
This is when I begin to heal.
