Tonight I'm drowning...
I wrapped my large arm around the house of the pure and stayed until the morning, reciting the mantra I made up

*If I stay, they will. If I stay, they will
Fall for a poet because-
She will place her soft, tense lips upon your flesh and it will cause a burning sensation like no other
( due to the most beautiful poetry being engraved upon you. Quite like a tattoo )

//

Fall for a poet because-
Her words will possess such power.
The power to erupt volcanoes within you
( also she will know how to cause earthquakes that cause violent storms  which result in storms blazing hard in your very eyes )

//

Fall for a poet because-
I gurentee you that you will never find a raw-er form a love. A love that is so kind and so pure
( a love that has the potential to wreck beautiful art or create breathing trees )

//

Do yourself a favour darling,
Fall for a poet because-
Pieces of you will now be found in all that she creates.
We all want to be someone's muse.
When I hurt here, on the planet earth.
I know that this hurting shall not last long.
For I am destine to live a new life elsewhere.
So I realize that same with these trials here.
For the time spent here is fleecing compare.
To the next life in either heaven or the new earth.
The most important thing that I need to do.
Is to trust the Creator with my entire being.
To follow him on this road no matter where it leads.
For when my life ends here I shall be in a far better place.
.
you came into
my life
as an
exclamation point
wandered it
as a
question mark
i thought you’d
leave with
three dots
behind
but you left
with only
one

When I was 15 I told my mom I couldn't go to school because my heart hurt.
She brought me to the doctor.
I couldn't find the courage to tell him the pain lives in the place where you used to be.
I had no courage to diagnose it as chronic.
