the look you gave me
when we first met
it was like you
knew me more
than anyone I've
ever known.
you looked at me
you looked at my soul,
not my face,
not my body,
not my beauty.
you looked at me
& who I am
deep inside.
you understood me
from the minute our eyes
collided
my presence was all you wanted
you ached for me
i set my heart on you

I don't deserve you
the love you give me,
unconditionally.
You set me free
without chains or shackles.
I feel all of your love.
Your soul is too good for me,
but is mine good enough for you?
You say you love me
no matter what I do,
but is that actually true?
If you knew
all I've done
& who I've hurt
would you still love me?
“Toska - noun /ˈtō-skə/ - Russian word roughly translated as sadness, melancholia, lugubriousness.

"No single word in English renders all the shades of toska. At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague restlessness, mental throes, yearning. In particular cases it may be the desire for somebody of something specific, nostalgia, love-sickness. At the lowest level it grades into ennui, boredom.”

Let me know
if you find
my mind
I seem to have lost it
that one night at your place.
Blunt rolled,
cuddling, big spoon.
I don't know why
I even let you in
But now I know why
we can never win.
A simple night
turned into a nightmare.
All because right then
you chose to care?
I could never get you
to understand me
when I said I didn't feel loved.
All of a sudden you wanna act right?
Then it turns into a fight.
You said you'd never do it again
I believed you
then.
But from that point on
I knew we were
destined to end.

acknowledge your flaws
build from them
no one can be perfect
as much as you try
people will still pick you apart
remember that
infragilis;

unbreakable, strong.

this is not the time
                                  or the place,
                                                          ­but, **** happens anyway.

Please do not
look at you
the way you think
they look at you.
Every word
you've heard
about you,
does not define
who you are.
You are more than
the mistakes you make.
Life would be
less entertaining without them.
You are more than
the people you've given your body too.
Don't let your spirit
fade because you
gave a piece of yourself
to someone unworthy.
You are more than
the nights you've spent
pondering your existence.
Your soul is on this Earth for a reason.
You are more than
the ***** looks
you give yourself
when you look back
on the past.
Don't let your history haunt your presence.
You are more than
how you are treated.
They do not know the real you.

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.
