the thing about fires
is that sometimes
you just have to watch them
burn
1408

The Fact that Earth is Heaven—
Whether Heaven is Heaven or not
If not an Affidavit
Of that specific Spot
Not only must confirm us
That it is not for us
But that it would affront us
To dwell in such a place—

The Calm
I sit and think about you

Wondering if I could only have you

Thinking wow, If I could only be with you

And if I could only hold you

The idea of me wanting you has never been in doubt

Because I’ve never met someone so beautiful inside and out

From eyes , to your skin, to your hair

And deeper into your heart, your soul, your mind, you’re so rare

And around you I can’t fake it, you shine a light on me and I feel so bare

Around you I can’t take it, cause I imagine a future with you and it’s my only care

I might be stupid, or maybe just a little awestruck

But wow, you ******* away

I would write you a letter but with every stroke of my pen

I have to stop and think about you and again and again I stop

Because just the very knowledge of your existence is enough to keep hope alive

The knowledge of the heart that beats in you is enough to keep this fire alive.

To hit the ground running, searching for your love

To never run from it, to promise that on this planet, my heart only beats for you

And I want you, but within me I must fix my lighthouse

Because a storm wages within me and I can’t guide myself home

But I know that once I reach the shore, your love will be there waiting
Wrote this after listening to a friend. Kind of tying of my experiences of old and new to the mix. Hope you guys enjoy

some say that pain is inevitable when it comes to love
that you're bound to get hurt one way or the other
that you're no match for the force of human nature,
that is to hurt the ones you love

i say—let it.
let it scar.
let it hurt.
—and let it hurt badly.

leave me broken
and leave me crying
leave me lonely
and leave me dying

because if love means waiting years and years
just to spend one fraction of a moment
where we belong to each other
then all of the wait
and all the weight on our shoulders
would be worth everything
we've been trying so hard to resist.

I guess im pretty
I guess im skinny
I guess im loved.

I guess im not stupid
I guess im not dumb
I guess im not an idiot

I guess I should live
I guess I should stay here
I guess I should grow up

I guess I am worth it
I guess I should be happy
I guess I should love myself

I guess

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me!!! i made it..
I have held a cold hand.
I have kissed cold lips.
I have traced a cold face with my finger tips.
But never have I been so torn apart...
Than to stare into warm eyes with such a cold, cold heart.
