I know why I hate you.
I hate you because you think she deserves
A love like yours.
Because you think that you are the best she can do.
I know why I hate you-
For not worshiping her like she ought to be adored.
I think you hate me
Because you know
Underneath
That I love her more,
And you'll never even come close
No matter what you do.
I think it bothers you.
I hope it does.
Maybe it'll make you
Try
To love her
The way she is meant to be loved.

Sad Girl
Of all the things that ****** me up,
I felt okay with you.
Of all the things I shouldn't say,
I miss you, yes I do.

I miss the way you made me cry,
I miss the way you'd hold me after.
I miss the way you hit me,
and I also miss your laughter.

I miss the times I'd cry on you,
which you would often let me do,
I miss the way you ****** me up.
I miss the life that I gave up.

I miss you hurting me,
So I wouldn't hurt myself.
I know that it sounds bad,
but without you I am sad.

Of all the things that ****** me up,
I knew, with you, I was in luck.
Nobody else will take me now,
and you're for sure to blame, somehow.

Of all of the things that ****** me up,
I miss you, yes it's true.

I've got
                   fight
       tattooed not on my bicep
                           but in my lungs
            so I never forget that it's just
one breath at a time

There are many people in my life that I love,
Let that be said now.
But...
I can't explain you.
You are home.
When my world crumbles, it crumbles to you.
It falls to bits around the only thing I am sure of-
You.
This life can mold me like wet clay,
But it will never touch you in my heart.
I can be so different I don't even know myself,
But I always, always know I love you.
You feel like falling into bed after a long day of doing good.
You feel like walking outside at dawn on a summer day and feeling the first rays of the sun touch my shoulders.
I could trace the planes of your face for a thousand years
And still find new curves to love the shadows of.
Your hands are the only ones that make mine feel completed.
Your laugh is the only one that feels like I am floating.
Your eyes are like wide galaxies, full of stars and secrets, with suns burning at the core.
Your mind is the only one that I would unravel my own for,
Your soul is the only one that can separate me by the atom, break me so completely that I am whole.
I could cry for loving you, my universe, so immense and so complete that I shudder just to hold the concept of you in my mind.
Some nights I lie awake and just love you until the morning reaches its pale fingers across my cheeks and tastes the tears there.
It's not that everything revolves around you,
It is that you ARE everything.
Everywhere I turn, there you are.
Every single moment of joy or despair I ever feel, I feel through loving you.
You spin the stars, you pull the moon, you raise the sun, you churn the sea, you sigh the rain, you sway the trees, you speak the thunder, you abase the gods.
In my world, you are matched by none
And every beautiful thing I ever witness
Is from you, is about you, is for you, is because of you.
You are my home.
Maybe that is rash, but I will have no other.
You are my home. You are the only person on this earth
Who makes me feel whole.
And I would give everything I have,
Just to see you smile and know I caused it,
My love,
My universe.

i want candy

Amber S
boys lips are never like yours,
darling.
yours are two peach slices, with a
pop rock in the center.
sizzle, fizzle, dissolve.
fireworks, explosives in our mouths
till the comets reach our eyelids.
boys lips are never like yours,
darling.
their tongues throttle,
yours the snake between the bushes.
teeth unfurnished,
yours insatiable.
boys lips are never like yours,
darling.
yours are the candy that i’ll chew
until i’m sick.
