How can I write
If there is no light
The darkness is growing inside me
Making all my thoughts blurry
And there is nothing with which I can carry

I sit

I try and I keep trying
But I just cant contain myself from crying
The last tears run down my cheek
And my eyes shut down to sleep

your eyes are making me wonder
your lips are on my mind
your hair is long and blond
why wont you love me
i admire everything  about you
im not a bad boy so you laugh at my love for you
you dont see my eyes  or my lips not even my hair life is just not fair

He opened his
He couldn't see anything
Even in the moonlight
Pitch black surrounded him
Was this darkness worth anything?

He slept
He awoke to blinding light
He'd been over-indulging the previous night
Surrounded by *****, smoking, late nights and the harlots
Normally these would all be sins
Yet to him this was normal
This was the only life he knew
She said so go,
halfway through the show,
she was a nut but exciting all the same,
I ran like a scared kid running from the word no,
but I turned and asked to stay,
for this was always her play,
and I was just an extra,
but I couldn't and I came walking back fast,
I couldn't let our scene and sunrise fade into the past,
halfway mad,
halfway sad,
I asked her to stay,
with a smile and a tear in her eyes,
I held her hand,
at a Lake in Montauk we watched the skies,
our own doomsday sunrise.
Kinda disjointed, but I wanted to show my usual way of format...I really like the idea of the contradiction of something beautifully sad, like watching the sunrise on doomsday.
I remember walking home from school with you in eighth grade
being silly and naive as always
I told you I liked that necklace you wore
Not thinking much of anything
and you gave it to me
It smelled a little like grapes
which made me giggle
and a lot like you
which made me smile
I tried to return it
because it wasn't really mine
but you insisted I keep it
and thank God you did

I wore it every day
until we broke up
I thought of burning it
or simply throwing it away
But every time I tried
I couldn't bring myself to do it
So I shoved it in a blue box
hidden under my dresser
forgot it existed
forgot you existed.

I hadn't seen you in a year
when you told me you missed me
I missed you too.
I hadn't seen you in a year
when you told me you still loved me
I still love you too

I blew the dust off that blue box
picked up that simple beaded necklace
a little wooden turtle
it still smelled like grapes
and you

Three and a half years later
we talk on the phone for hours before going to sleep
I fiddle with that necklace while we talk
while I listen to your laugh
your stories
your voice
because it's all I have of you to hold
It doesn't smell like you anymore
because I wear it every single day
thats okay
because it reminds me
of everything we've been
of everything we will be
just because
this little turtle necklace
reminds me
how much I love you
and
how much
you love me.
Unfortunately, the sun does set at night
and I am no longer able to see your face in the sunlight.
As I reach out my hands to find your cheeks
silk honey skin greets me.
You open your eyes and I see them perfectly.
They're blue like water that has frozen over
I see myself drifting away in the seas chillingly.

Sweetheart, don't leave the bed tonight.
Lose yourself in the sheets
and drown in all the oversized blankets.
It's too cold outside to be alone this time.

It's 10 pm and I want to stay here forever
I will not grow tired of you
It is not possible, you see I smile all the time when you're near.
Let's grow old to the grey,
Never let this get boring.
But for now, sleep with me here until the morning

I love you like I love to read, makes me feel alive.
I love you like I love the rain, its lustful calm embrace.  
I love you like I love the thrill
of pure infatuation.
But most of all I love you like
I love a cherished person.
Who holds me tight, dries my tears
and loves me to the end.
I love the way you look at me,
Your eyes so bright and brown.
I love the way you kiss me,
Your lips so soft, smooth and sugary.
I love the way you make me so happy,
And the ways you show me care.
I love the way you say, “I Love You,”
And the way you’re always there.
I love the way you touch me,
Always sending chills down my spine.
I love the adrenaline rush you give me.
I love that you are with me,
And glad that you are mine.

Speechless
When I suddenly struggle to make the words come out right
When I feel I should say things that are hard
When I look into your eyes
For you

Longing*
For feeling your loving arms around me in a warm embrace
To wake up to see your beautiful smile
For us to feel close
For you
