You knelt down, defeated with the black rose in your hand.
Your eyes surprised you with tears - her memories were a blur.
You pluck the petals - one at a time,
All the while muttering "She doesn't love me, but I do, more than he loves her "
Valentines day special! #7 on 52weekpoetrychallenge
I'm empty because you are almost gone,
You're satiated because its you who has withdrawn.
I'm torn because you are everything I have got,
You're stitched up because that is something I'm not.

The last cigarette has been lit and your eyes bid me goodbye,
I held out my arms and you turned away in reply.
I will cut them off today and tie them with a chain,
Solely because you are never going to call them home again.

Your voice
Resounding
I can hear it
With my eyes closed
Comforting
I can feel it
With my ears shut
The wind
I listen to
To find your voice everytime
Ride the wind and rise to the moon,
let go of your insecurities.
Allow your hair to run wild,
dye it with the color of the sun.

Love the people around you
with all you have;
but don't push boulders
for those who wouldn't skip rocks
for you.

Learn to love yourself,
love yourself as much as I love you.
Embrace your beauty,
be vain.
Don't care what the others think.

You're as important as
the Big Bang,
your worth is so valuable.
No other star can shine as bright
as you.

This may seem really cliche
(and it really is),
But I can't put into words
how ******' amazing you are.


You're hella.
this is unintentionally gay
