Im done with all the haters.
Im done with all the pain.
Im done being broke.
Im done giving everything away.

I am sticking to myself.
I am staying to my word.
I am staying from guys that will hurt me.
I am finally done..
God I hate love and haters.

I wish kisses could leave
scars, and pain
would leave no trace of its
presence behind. I've been
to so many places with strangers
and each time I imagined it was some version of you
with me instead.

Save our own hearts by
entering another. Devouring another.
I'm not sure what love is
but faulty incantations, a changing
forecast in stormy minds.
I'm denying myself again from touching
the truth because

holding someone forever and
into eternity
is difficult to comprehend for
a mind that feels more alone when looking
at the stars,
for someone who feels like an intruder
in the house they grew up
in, and is still searching
underneath doormats for "home".

It would be nice for a breeze to catch
my lungs like a net
and whisk me away from
where I stand
against myself. I'm hoping sooner or later
I'll get lost enough in a warm place
that wholly embraces me in ways
I can't for myself.
in love with love but not quite sure where that puts me. as always, thank you for reading x ivy

I want to tell him
I want him to know.
He is something to me.
He is my best friend.
Girl, I love those scars
that branch up and down your arms.
Girl, I see those eyes
that stare daggers and stare knives.

I'll get you to feel again
when you see my fake smile.

I'll get you alive again
at least for a little while.

But at the end of the day
once I've had my way,
I'll leave you just like the last
guy from your horrid past.

Because I don't want to insist,
but I don't care for your happiness.
Because you can't forget once you've learned this,
I only want my name bleeding from your wrist.

I only want to be another tally mark
of scar tissue on your thigh.

I only want to leave you in the dark
and listen to you silently cry.

I'm sitting here in my office
watching steam rise in cursive swirls
from the black coffee in front of me
on this stormy Friday morning

Staring at nothing in particular,
I allow my thoughts to linger,
becoming completely lost in another
beautiful daydream of you and me

      we walk along a secluded beach,
         palm tree shadows sway,
     sand between our toes,
        a sunrise surf lulls hypnotically
          in rhythmic tempo whispers as I peer
       deeply into your maple syrup eyes,
    falling deeper in love with you
          with each longing glance
      We kiss and my heart melts
        at the feel of your sweet lips
      pressed tightly against mine…

A loud clap of thunder wakes me
as I once again realize where I am,
sitting behind a desk covered in paperwork
and another now cold cup of coffee, but…

There are many more daydreams where
that one came from that will always include
you because… they all originate in my heart
and there’s still hot coffee in the ***
Good morning

If I bleed alone,
is it really blood
or is it just words,
droplets of phrases,
splattered feelings
of this love coursing
through my veins for you,
coagulating into meanings
on pale parchment skin
leaving behind
heart shaped scars
that no one
will ever see?

*I became a poet the day I wrote your name
Life is changing every day;
You were my Sunshine,
You were my reason for living,
Whatever I had belonged to you,

I never knew tomorrow would never come,
I never knew that I would never say “I do.”

After my long life;
My bride,
You are my oldest memory of love,
You stand side by side with my mother in heaven,

Your Soul is as beautiful as the first day I met you,
I will always remember you my bride,
Lying there in a white dress;

In my long life,
I have never met someone,
With a Soul like yours,

You once told me, “We should live and love our lives to the fullest.”

I've had many chances, at love!
I have never found someone that would take my hand and say,
“I'm yours forever and ever.”

You once told me, “We should live and love our lives to the fullest.”

I learned true love is difficult to come by,

I've met many Angels.
But, They live under the wrong sky and in the wrong time,

You once told me, “We should live and love our lives to the fullest.
You are given very few chances at love.”

“Be happy my love. Enjoy! Your life.”

Take a chance at, love once again.

Everything in this place, reminds me of you;

These days, of heavy rain,
These days, of sunshine,

As I look up,
At the cloudless sky,
I want to tell you,
I have not forgotten you,

Viewing the night sky,
Filled with stars,

Remembering my promise, when we meet again,

To give you a single red rose,
To let you know that,
I have not forgotten our days,
Of sunshine and rain.
