do not fall in love with people like me.
i will destroy you
so beautifully
yet so quietly
that you won’t even realize you’re gone
until you are.

not because i want to.
because some part of me thinks loving me
is something you have to survive.

i will pull away
when all i want is to be pulled closer.
i will freeze
when you offer warmth.
i will try to disappear
just to see if you come looking.

and you will.
and that will break me
more than it ever breaks you.

so do not fall in love with people like me,
unless you can love someone
who is still learning
how to be loved.
One
I’d gladly take
one verse
ill written
Than a tome
explicit
with words
unfelt

I’d gladly take
one moon
still distant
Than a sunrise
hidden
by rain
that pelts

I’d gladly take
one real
good tiding
Than a score
of praises
that slap
my back

I’d gladly take
one heart
on fire
Than a million
minds
no souls
— attached

This is probably the least exciting love letter you've ever read. Maybe my love for you doesn't excite you, it doesn't feel like a challenge or like anything you can win.
I don't want you to win me, I don't want there to be a winner. I want truth, understanding. I want you to see in me what I see in you. I want to give you, to show you, life.
But you already have that, you can learn nothing from me; you can use my brain to think, you can use every part of my being, but you can never learn from me.
This isn't my love for you that writes these lines; my love for you is happy, sunny, green, it is filled with memories of your smile and brown eyes. This is my premature regret, my fear of losing you, my acknowledgement of the free will you gave me, the one that I cannot bring myself to use to make you feel this void inside me that calls your name.
Maybe this is a plea, a way for me to beg you to accept me. Maybe it's reassuring to think that if I say it a certain way, it might disgust you less. I don't want to repel you.
From a love letter I wrote. I couldn't write about my love for her because I don't understand it. I can only write about my fear of never telling her.

Lips soft as a feather, I give her a kiss
No sugar needed, life is sweet as it is
At night she's asleep with her head on my chest
With her by my side I can finally rest

I come home from work to a dinner for two,
As i hear her soft voice whisper "I love you"
Holding her hand on long walks in the spring
On weekends we're lazy, would not change a thing

And the only argument we ever face
Is about the color we will paint our new place
She tells me that she might want kids someday too
I tell her that's fine - no challenge's too big with you

It's everything Ive dreamed of
What a shame to see
That he's living my best life
Instead of me

I'm looking for my next era
Backstage, on deck
But as I grasp for my script I find there isn't one

Perhaps I'm not cut out for being the main character
I wish to be a knight but I can't find any dragons
Without knowledge of a sword, where's my adventure

All this creative energy
And nowhere to hide
It's all pooled up while I'm sitting here passively dead

What to do? What to do?
When you don't really feel like living a life
