On rainy days
I think of you
The rain reminds me of how gloomy I have become
And on sunny days,
I think of you
The sun reminds me of how radiant I use to be
When you were alive
I think when you left,
So did my sun
Stuck with gray hazy days
When you died
So did my happiness
I miss you so much.

Some days I feel good
Like I have a chance of being normal
But then there's days like today
Where I drown in my sadness
And choke on self hatred
They tell me "recovery is a process"
And that I have to be patient
But would you tell someone
who was drowning in the ocean
to be patient and wait for rescue?
I am drowning

my heart is necklaces
tangled in a forgotten
jewellery box. no one
has the time nor
patience to untangle these
chains

but then you came
along to undo this
havoc, taking each link,
pulling it apart one by one

finally these chains can
shine like they once did

thanks to you.

with your skin against
mine i could swear to
all the gods that we
will be just fine.

my best friend

a friend like you is hard to come by
someone so similar to myself
yet so giving
and caring
and nurturing
a truly beautiful person
I owe you my life
I would be nowhere without you
Thank you for being my best friend
you know who you are

You always know what to say
I think that's one of the things I like most about you
Like when I told you I felt like an icicle
Unloved and cold
You told me icicles were your favorite when you were little
And you'd make your dad drive you around
Just to find the biggest icicles
Or the time I told you I cut myself
And you told me nothing would change the way you felt about me
Out of all your absolutely amazing qualities
This is one of the best
Thank you

Have you ever found home in a person?
Because cradled in your arms,
Or tucked into your chest
Is the only place that's ever felt like home to me
you are my home

After a big winter blizzard
There's always mountains of elegant snow
Sitting calmly for others to soak in its beauty
But there is icicles hanging from our windows
They drip tears full of such sadness
Nobody says how beautiful the ice is
In comparison to the snow
So they sit on top of houses and weep all day
And eventually they cry so much
They disappear
and nobody notices
In many ways I feel like an icicle
How long until I disappear
And will you even notice

Night time

When the night rolls around,
It is said that lonely people are always awake
So in the middle of the night,
I sit in bed lonesome
Squeezing my pillows at 2am
Wondering where you are
And how much I would love
To be silently wrapped in the arms of a lover

Falling in love is such an easy thing
It'll start with small kisses
And smiles exchanged
Then the kisses will navigate
All over the map you call your body
At the way up north
To all the way down south
You will giggle
And scream
And yell
You'll even eat candy out of each others mouths
And soon
All of these seemingly miniscule things will add up
So one day,
While he's laying next to you
Sound asleep
Don't be surprised when it hits you
This was something extravagant
Fireworks will burst in your heart
And you'll snuggle in closer
Now you've completely fallen
Your heart is no longer your own
I hope you see this and smile
