I hope you know
I think of you
every single day.
More than I want to,
more than I aim to.
It's honestly ridiculous
I have tried so much
I've been more than conspicuous
thrown you all the signs,
but here we go with the mindlessness.
You act like you can't see,
that you are
who I want
& who I need.

ne·pen·thes
nəˈpenTHēz
noun

1. a drug described in Homer's Odyssey as banishing grief or trouble from a person's mind.

i miss you

Where I stand
I hold no one's hand

                                                           but I am not alone
                                                           I feel you all around

             your spirit guides me
             & teaches me the way

It's not that he doesn't want you,
it's that he wants you
& her
& her.
There's not much you can do to change
a promiscuous man's heart
so please,
do not try to fix them.
They will not listen
until they know who they want,
it may not be you
& they may never settle.
This is all okay.
This is life.
You can fight
with all your might
& he will still
walk away.
That is not your fault.
You will be okay,
& one day your love
will be appreciated & reciprocated.

oneirataxia - The inability to differentiate between dreams and reality.

eccedentesiast

I don't usually feel
this way about
anything or
anyone
You lit up
something in me
that I had no idea existed
You became a
permanent tenant
of my heart
An infinite vision
in my mind
A neverending
part of my life
enduring through
all of life's misfortunes
A catastrophe
of both of our lives
that intertwined
and became
an absurd idea
& total fantasy

- but life went on

eccedentesiast
(noun)

someone who hides pain behind a smile.

elysian

I crave
every part of you.
I lust after
your lips,
on my skin,
gently kissing
all of my pain away.
Your arms
wrapped around my waist,
embracing me
with nothing but love.
I feel your pure soul
radiate through you,
shining into me
& healing all
the dark pieces of myself.
Your words
traveling through my mind
mending the hurt
I've heard in my life.
Your smile
brightly giving me
patience & perseverance.
With you,
I will be okay.

E·ly·sian

cacoethes

Reflecting on my life
I have made too many mistakes,
but mistakes are the most fun
without them
we wouldn't know who we are.
We do things to see if we want to so it again.
We **** up.
We heal.
We **** up some more.
We heal ourselves
& we heal others.
Life goes on,
despite all that we face.
Though I may not be innocent,
I am honest
I am true
& I will not be condemned for my mistakes.
Who gets to say your mistakes are better than mine?

cac·o·e·thes
ˌkakəˈwēT͟Hēz/
noun
an irresistible urge to do something inadvisable.

let's go

do you ever think
the universe is too big
for you & me?
vast amounts of space
& only one Earth.
one green & blue place full of
life & love

there's endless places in the galaxies
