as these roots grow deeper,
the seeds of love grow eager,
they want to strive
for a deeper thirst in which they dive.

boom, a sprout begins to bloom.

someday very soon,
under the sun, not the moon,
our petals blossom and display,
our feelings at which we kept at bay.

it's been three months that together, we've been through
and by some chance, somehow, i still want to keep waking up everyday and choose you.
maybe it's because you make me a little more brave
or maybe because when i'm with you i don't feel like a damsel in distress you have to save.
yes, i still struggle with my irrational and pointless insecurity
but being with, and loving you has become my priority.
i'm no longer afraid of falling, as i was before
because being in love with you and who i'm getting to know, has never been a bore.

why is it that poetry?
is the one thing that lets me work through my anxiety...
why is it that poetry?
gives me one of the only chances i get to feel alright and free...
why is it that poetry?
sometimes no longer makes my mind feel more calm put together to a t...

you'll never know him...
and maybe the way i think is out on a limb,
but i wish you could have met the man i love,
he's kind, patient, and doesn't judge... but pushes me to be better when i need that shove.
not in the ways my father did to you,
but rather he cares about me and his actions have proved it in the time due.
i wish you could have met that man more than you did,
i'm not guaranteeing he's my forever, but i got him like the winner of a bid.
somehow this man loves me mama,
and despite all of your life's drama,
he is trustworthy and lovely...
and i wish you could have liked him as much as he loves me.

i want to live, right?
it's something i question at night...
not actually,
but i do question that thought itself fully.
do i enjoy breathing?
mom left me the past three years with this thought conceiving...
i feel torn,
and to my very core, worn.
i want to keep moving forward?
but without a part of me around, i don't know where i'm going toward...
i hope she's with the stars,
instead of being depressed and sneaking away to local bars.
do i miss it all and would i live it again?
she made me and without her i wouldn't know where to even begin...
i don't know what i need, i was able to go to her for everything and now i don't know

the tears rush out along with heavy heaving
i hate that you didn't tell me you were leaving
i'm getting tired of this entire process of grieving
my mom passed away

there are only a few love songs,
that encapsulate how my heart longs,
to be in the comforting arms
of the man i love and all his charms.
the way he makes my heart pound
and that same beating, reciprocated sound.
to love someone and feel at peace,
and to know that the feelings don't feel like they will ever cease.
it is a pleasure to interpret and understand,
to feel these emotions when we're hand in hand.
this is my love poem for you,
everything within it, stands true.
um-hem... if this is a bad poem, whoops. i love you, you make me incredibly happy.
