I've been deceived by many,
Devastated and aggravated to epitome,
But I have not once avenged any,
I silently suffered and embraced the pain,

It killed me a millionth time,
That I wanted to make them pay,
But I dissolved the abhor,
For hate can strengthen and my virtue might decay,

I could have played along,
Maybe adopt evil and hurt people,
But what was the worth,
Because I know I learned that revenge cannot do any good.

It's funny how
lack of sleep will hit you.
It's six in the morning,
and I,
I'll tear up at almost anything now.
All sense of sanity
hindered by delirium
but I think of you.
Maybe I'm insane,
maybe I'm delusional,
but at six in the morning,
I still love you.

Despite the heart which is froze
Hatred runs fluidly
Like the water in shattered glass
Like the blood in broken bones
Like the flames in our homes    
This hatred
It speaks to me
Like drugs to an addict

When it tells me to shoot
                                         I relapse and
                                       aim for the sky


I said..
In spite of my own humility
Hatred runs deeply
Like the roots beneath the dirt
Like the pain beyond the hurt
Like this poem before your eyes

I despise 
                Way too many lies
                And so little truth
 

I said..
I hate beautiful  
It cripples me deeply  
For you are my pity
My pain and their pleasure

When I am high
                           I'll collapse and fall
                        Far from this place
                        Of rotten bliss


I said..
Look at me        
Blood misrepresents me    
For I am cut differently
This pain isn't felt
Like the emptiness
Residing in your cup
It is felt
Like a toxic
Living inside the gut
Like these words
Traveling directly
Towards the stomach

I mean..
             Although this addiction kills me
           Hatred is also the remedy
          It is all I need to truly appreciate
          The little love I have left.

I've read about blue eyes
Compared to:
Light,
Gemstones,
Water,
But dear lord I did not know
That he inspired them all
And he has no idea how beautiful he is

If kisses were raindrops,
I'd send you showers.
If hugs were seconds,
I'd give you hours.
If smiles were water,
I'd send you the sea.
And if love were a person,
I'd send you me.

How many nights does it take to count the stars?
That's the time it would take to fix my heart.
I was there for you
All I ever wanted was the truth
How many nights have you wished someone would stay?

We are none truly alone,
I've written of this before
I shall write of our souls
And the invisible chains, once more

We are all connected,
By these universal chains
From the beggar on the corner,
To the broker squandering gains

We are seven billion shades,
Different shades of the same hue
From me here in my mountains,
Across the earth to you

Whether you're a dancer,
Stepping to a tune
Or a night fisherman,
Gathering food, under the moon

These universal chains,
They bind us each together
That's what the universe wanted,
And so it is forever

Each time you defame,
Your fellow human across the way
You're defaming part of yourself,
So be careful what you say

This is how its been since the beginning
This is how it is until the end
Be kind to each other,
Remember we're all akin
Oh wow! Thank you my fellow poets. Thank you for reading and liking my words.<3

If life needed a soul,
And I needed yours,
Would you have granted me,
Or would you have granted she?

If love wanted a heart,
And I wanted yours,
Would you give yours to me,
Or would it belong to she?

If lust wanted a body,
And I craved yours,
Would it then be given to me,
Or would it have been delivered to she?

If death had wanted me,
And I wanted you,
Would you give yourself to me,
Or would  I be given to she?
