Poetry is love

Its words carry my feelings

Across time

Across minds

Shared with others

Interpreted by the heart

In any way it wants

Poetry is my love to you

To take how you will

To give however you want

So take me across time

across minds

across hearts

and I will love you

Till the end of time

I miss wrapping my arms around you in bed
The warmth of your back against my chest
The smell of your hair as I nuzzle your neck
The slow heave of your breath as you sleep
Was the safest and most peaceful place to be at night

And yet, you're no longer there
As I lay bare my heart to no one else
Tears I shed in bed for no one else
I wonder how much longer does it have to hurt
Especially now that I know we aren't together

The bed is cold and empty at night without you here
The nights quiet and painful without your breath
Nights are no longer peaceful or safe
I feel the darkness creeping on me now that I'm alone
There's nowhere left to hide in this dark embrace

When I first saw you

I knew from the start

That not only from your beauty

But your grace captured my heart

These broken pieces of me you hold so gingerly

And with just a touch

Erase all the pain and unwanted memories

Life never started until I met you

I hope and I wonder if you have these feelings too?

What did I do to deserve your attention?

Because I've done nothing for myself that deserves redemption

But I feel like I've finally found my light

My brightest start in the darkest night.

I know you mean well

But I'm afraid

My last love fell

My feelings fade

Yet you caught me off guard

with your laughter and honesty

You make resisting smiling so hard

When you ask me to be just me

But I'm still afraid

To give you what's left of my heart

And yet you try your hardest and lit a spark

A spark enough to illuminate the darkest parts of me

Then you reach out and told me

To not be afraid

Drowning in my emotions
I gasp for air
There's nothing left for me
Now that you're not there
I left you hurtin'
Because you hurt me too
I thought this would be better
I thought I could set you free
But by leaving you,
I took the memories
You were everything I loved
You were everything I left
Nothing left of you for me to hold
you were my breath
I did love you
and I still do
But you deserve much more
More than I could ever give
I hope you find that someone
Since there's nothing left of me
Besides my empty breaths

The moment
a single raindrop
falls from the sky
You come to my mind
and I'm thinking of you
