Love is
crying in your sleep
even without
the nightmares.
Brent Dec 2014
A season to cherish the stars in the skies.
As the cool breeze blows, and lights glimmer in your eyes.
The season to share some milk tea with ice.
But for you, I'll give a nice surprise.

I can't afford fancy bouquets.
Or the fancy clothes and bags on display.
I just really hope and pray.
That even without those, you'll be here to stay.

All of your gifts, just set aside.
Even the mistletoe, to the ceiling where it's tied.
Because my only wish this season of yuletide,
Is just be happy by your side.
Merry Christmas!  :)

The only time I write is
when
  your words are like knives that leave scars.
when
  your words trap me behind metal bars.
when
  your words are like darkness that shrouds my view of the stars.

But as your words cloud my emotions,
I slowly lose my reason to write.
I thought what we had was forever.
Turns out everybody else was right.
*the first italicized line was from Panic! At The Disco's "This Is Gospel". I heard it again and it kinda stuck to my mind.

You are my
most
beautiful
reverie
and my
worst
nightmare.
Brent Dec 2014
When I was young,
I was afraid of the night.
I believed it was
home to ghosts, poltergeists
and all kinds of frights.
Just the absence of light
sends shivers to my spine.

As I grew up, I've come
to love the night.
It makes me feel alive.
All of my emotions revive.
and my words drive
to self-proclaimed beauty.

But the thing that I
most appreciate,
is that this is the time
that I get to you.
The only time
I can see your smile
shine bright.
Brighter than the
gleaming moonlight.
you know it's you. :)
