Angry stares, angry stares,
Angry stares everywhere;
Judging eyes, judging eyes,
Judging eyes everywhere;
Furious speech, furious speech,
Furious speech everywhere

Don't be bothered,
Don't be bothered,
Oh shut up
It was just a scare

Is it
Better to have
Loved and lost
Than to
Never have loved
At all
?

last night I finally told you
how I felt -- although,
technically, I may have used
the words 'sort of', and
'crush' and not 'love'.
I may have also used
the past tense; and when
you asked me "when?", I said
"it doesn't matter", and
meant "always".
This is about the girl who fell in love with the moon.
Resting against the cold glass window at night
To get a glimpse of the light on the side she laid eyes on
And wondered about the darkness she would never get to see.
This is about the girl who fell in love with the stars.
Watching them sparkle and shoot across the sky.
She shed a tear knowing these stars were long diminished
And wondered if she as well would leave such a lasting mark.
This is about the girl who fell in love with the rain.
Falling fast asleep to the quiet drops on the pavement
With colors forming through the heavy mist,
And wondered if she could ever be as beautiful as a rainbow.
This is about the girl who fell in love with the ocean.
Sinking her toes in the sand while breathing the salty air,
Noticing the fish swimming easily through the blue water
And wondered if she could glide through life the same way.
This is about the girl who fell in love with the sun.
Lying in the swaying grass, feeling a soft breeze on her cheeks
Only to be shaded by the birds flying free under the light
And she wondered if she could one day be as free.
This is about the girl who fell in love with solitude.
Curled up with the dusty pages of her favorite book
Reading of the lover’s who share their lives together,
And wondered if one day she might share her solitude.
This is about the girl who fell in love with you.
With the way your body wrapped around hers,
How you could command a room with the warmth of your smile
And she wondered if one day she could call you hers.
This is about the girl who fell in love with too many things.
Realizing none of them would ever be hers,
Knowing she had no one to share them with.
And she wondered if she would always feel so alone.
I can feel the weight of your words crushing my rib cage,
shattering the already weak bones in tiny swords,
which stab into my lungs,
leaving me breathless,
into my heart,
leaving me broken,
and all my other internal organs,
leaving me,
well,
crushed.

why do I still love you
when I promised to get
over you --
promised myself to stop,
my heart a chance
to heal.
because I look at you
and know
my heart doesn't
have a shot.
of course* I still love you.
how could I not.
I'd go to war with every god
Just to see you smile one more time
I'd spill the blood of a million
Just to save your soul
I'd set the world ablaze
Just to hear you giggle
I'd slit my own throat
Just to have you breathe a sigh of relief
I'd bath your enemies in my blood
Just to have them stop hunting you
My love their isn't anything I wouldn't do
Just to have you in the safety
Of my castle arms once again
