he loved the rain
    the way it falls
   and dances around
the windows,
     much like his
   own tears

i'm stuck in a
bottomless pit of darkness
and theres no escape.

the only illumination
in this room is the light
creeping through the almost
sealed door.

soon my only escape
will vanish and will be nothing
more than just a painting
in the shadows of these walls.

you are an unbreakable habit.
your love is like a cigarette and
i'm addicted to it. i want you
running through my veins
like nicotine, i'm never going
to shift this vice.

my hearts the canvas and
you're the painter.
we're just two people
creating unique feelings
for each other know as love

love is finding someone
just as scared
and imperfect as you and
that's the true beauty

when i look into your eyes
i cant help but smile,
the warm feeling i get
from looking into them

your smile illuminates my
world, the fire inside
nights i spend awake looking at
the moon, me wondering
if you're looking at it too.

love is just a simple four
letter verb to describe
my feelings for you.
love is two souls with
but a single thought,

two hearts that beat as one
in the midst of this worlds chaos.
i still have you and found you and

i will always revere
to this love and hold it close
and dear to my heart.

my heart has been
sentenced to life
behind my rib cage
and hasn't seen the
light of day in years.

i'm in love with the
thought of falling
in love with you,
but i'm not in
love with you.

i'm constantly flicking
away the invisible ash
of the cigarette with
almost a religious fervor
anxiously awaiting for
you to be here.
