It's hard to wait for something that may never come
It's hard to hear the tune of a song that's never sung
It's hard to not let go
When you're hanging by a thread

When you push feelings back so they don't enter your mind
You push things away that are meant to live inside
When you put yourself in charge and think that you're done
You realize the one that should be in charge is The One.

Sometimes He calls to us in a roar
Sometimes I can't hear Him while the rain pours
I know He just wants me to hold on to hope
But that's a hard thing to cling to when you don't even know how to cope

I wonder sometimes if this hard road will end
I feel often unsure of the twists and the bends
This body of mine is feeble and weak
But He is the strong one and I know He will speak

And this I have pondered many a day
Why I can't let this go, I cannot say
But this is one thing I know and I treasure
Whenever I fall, He says to me and all the world, "I will catch her."

tell me it was all a dream
tell me the beautiful wishing doesn't have to end
that a thousand years of golden kisses and
a universe of given completely to just being wrapped in your arms
tell me that the natural chaos of wrestling you in the pillows
surrounded by desires trance can go on forever
tell me that the spark like a fiery hunger in you
will be there to ignite me
i urge myself to my destination
to wake lightly in the salvation of your love
to wake lightly in the predawn and find you sleeping still
so i may kiss you awake
so i may be your dawn
as you have been mine

love* is what is wanted
pain is what we get
fear is never spoken
lies are
Love, pain, fear and lies
are what I always am to find
you tell me one thing
and do another
please don't hurt me anymore
I wish you would stay here or leave for sure
you know that coming back and forth
will only hurt me more
Say your goodbyes
don't let this be another lie
for I cannot say no to you
I am weak and you no this
I am not the girl who can turn away
from one she loves
I wish, I pray
I was a different kind
so I can say
go, please just leave
just leave

Someone out there is going to physically ask for your name
not to play with it, but to live the rest of their life with it
Someone out there is going to flash you a smile
even when you hardly expect it
Someone out there is going to brush off the hair from your face
not only with their hands, but also with their soul
Someone out there is going to hold your hand
no matter if your hand is sweaty or cold
Someone out there is going to stand right out your door with flowers
and tell you you're beautiful in your pajamas
Someone out there is going to look at you like the first time
and you won't notice the difference because the way they look at you is undefineable
Someone out there is going to whisper those three meaningful words into your ears
that send shivers through your skin
Someone out there is going to love you,
not only for who you are in the present,
but also for who you were in the past
and for who you will be in the future,
and for the first time in your life,
you will believe it
and live with it for the rest of your life

Tell me, have you ever been in love before?
When the kind of love you feel is something magical
That it can bring a beautiful mess in your mind

Tell me, have you ever found yourself smiling uncontrollably?
When all you are doing is just re-reading your old texts with him
And nothing can wipe your smile off your face

Tell me, how many times have you said his name in one day?
You can’t even count because you do it in, like, every second
And it makes your friends get bored of hearing it

Tell me, have you ever gone through a day missing him so bad?
And all you do in your sleep is dream about him
That you want to pick him from your dream and hug him for real

Tell me, how your heart beats so loud like an earthquake when he talks to you
And you should reply his words instead of staring at his face
And you go talk about something silly and it makes you wonder if he ever hears your loud heartbeat

Tell me, have you ever imagined all the good things you can do with him?
And he’s all what you think and daydream about all day
And then you realize that things never happen like you imagine them

Tell me, how can you forget him who has given you so much to remember?
Tell me, how can you let him go when he has already inspired you to write this poem?
i breathe deep, breathe slow
for the atmosphere to consume my lungs
keep my heart beating
blood streaming
one slow inhale
so vital
so simple
expected to work
until it doesn't
breathing in expecting air
but getting death instead
my heart reached out expecting your affection
but got death instead

I saw him
I walked towards him

He saw me
He smiled to me

There was a river,
separating our standing spots
I'd swim the river for him
But he'd rather build a bridge
than meet me in the water

I was lost in thoughts
I thought of him all night long

He slept at night
He gave nothing but a simple goodnight

There was a wall I built,
holding him back from seeing me
And he was not brave enough
to break it down for me

So he just stood there
and waited for me
to climb it all the way up for him

Hard was,
when I gave my all to climb for him
but he was not down there to catch me

Sad was,
when I was bravely in love
with him who was not brave enough to love me back
To that guy who made me hit so hard in love
