You are more than numbers
You are so much more than numbers
Numbers are insignificant
And only pertain to algorithms that predict unfortunate things
Like death
And I’m sorry I forgot your birthday
But it’s just numbers and numbers aren't important to me
I remembered your favorite color
Blue
Because it is the color that describes that clichéd, shallow melancholy
Authors often glorify to make petty things seem magical
But blue is something you should never feel because you go so much deeper than that pettty feeling
And I know your favorite flower is the sweet pea
Because I remember that it symbolizes the shyness I’ve never felt around you
And the shyness I’ve never seen you exhibit
And I’m sorry I’m so quiet
It’s only because I want to tell you how beautiful you are
But I know I’ll never be able to find just the right words to tell you
That you’re imperfections perfected
And I love all the things you say you hate about yourself
And I love the way words sound on your lips
And how you throw your head forward when you laugh
And you’re all the poems I've ever written
Even the sad ones
Because you’re all the feelings I've ever felt
And I love the way your hand feels in mine
And I’m sorry I forgot your birthday
But I promise I always will
Because I have more important things to remember about you
Than numbers

I've been sitting here all alone
slowly forgetting the touch of your lips,
wondering when and if you'll come home
i didn't listen to what they had to say
my response was that they didn't understand,
they were quick to judge
but you had nothing to say

i knew you were afraid
but you said you would protect me,
one too many lies that i believed
i remember looking into your eyes
and seeing the deepest of blues,
and so i sit here with nothing but a good-bye
not even a kiss, a hug, only a lie

This is all so new,
I can't think straight.
Seems too good to be true,
Could this really be a safe place to fall,
Does he know what he does to me?
I've tried so hard to keep my walls up,
But it's so easy for me to crash,
And just as easy to break.
He's in control of my heart.
I need this to work this time,
Just to keep me from falling apart.
I've fallen so hard.

If this is a mirage,
Then i never want it to fade.
This time it all makes sense.

I hate you for doing this to me.
So hold me and don't leave.
It's crazy how this all seems.
Because I want you to love me,
And i need you to trust me.
Confused and scared,
I'm terrified of you.
What have you done?
You've turned me into a stranger,
So you've won.
I've been here too many times before,
Now just tell me that it's all alright.
That everything you said wasn't a lie,
When you love me please don't leave me.
And if it's true,
I'll stay with you everynight,
I love you
For the rest of my life.

Beautiful, your anxious eyes,
Make me see home again.
I hope I never have to live without you,
Not again, oh darling, bring me in.

Beautiful, your nervous laughter,
Reminds me of times long past.
Take my hand, hold me tight,
Kiss me lightly, love me fast.

Why not one more night,
Why not one more time?
Just one kiss goodbye,
Love me sweet, make you mine.

And my word's can't bring you in,
I can't write you home.
So I'll just keep writing,
And let my heart roam.

Why not one more night,
Why not one more time?
Just one kiss goodbye,
Love me sweet, love tonight.

your skin is my obsession
your heart my most precious treasure
your lips alone can quench my desire
your touch what i most crave
your ******* elixir
your scent nirvana
your tender love my eternal addiction
and i admit i am powerless to resist

I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm,
your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm,
yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new,
in city and in forest they smiled like me and you,
but now it's come to distances and both of us must try,
your eyes are soft with sorrow,
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.
I'm not looking for another as I wander in my time,
walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme
you know my love goes with you as your love stays with me,
it's just the way it changes, like the shoreline and the sea,

but let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't
untie,
your eyes are soft with sorrow,
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.
I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm,
your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm,
yes many loved before us, I know that we are not new,
in city and in forest they smiled like me and you,
but let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't
untie,
your eyes are soft with sorrow,
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.
I'll write a poem on your skin
With my lips, our love tattooed on every inch
At the back of your ear, your delicate nape
Your perfect spine and cheeks like wine

I'll breathe the words in your mouth
Let your soul read and keep my oath
Trace it in your waist and engrave the lines
Down to the lovely hidden shrine

Your eyes on my eyes, my warm hands on your hips
I can hear our poem inside your chest
The rhythm of our hearts will turn it into a song
And with your gentle kiss

*I'll write again.

You have now stripped me to my bones..
Bare, bruised and battered,
Left alone; undone -
I have but few words remaining -

I love you, and this will be my last breath of you...

Turning from you now, as you have turned from me,
Each step distancing our once solidified foundation -
A rising fire, extinguished by an unforeseen ending,
I no longer will await the day you had promised...
For these futile thoughts of us will fade,
Our love whither -
Our love perish -

Simply put...
This is good bye.
