you are my own personal sunrise,
warming me with your twinkling smile,
one that can even outshine
the brightest stars on a dim night.
your dark curls, wild and untamed,
your strong gaze, raw and unwavering.
do you know how lovely you are?

i always count the seconds until we meet,
when my name rolls off your tongue
to which my beating heart seems to soar
with all of the love that i have for you.
when we lie together at the hours of dawn,
i listen to the rise and fall of your chest
and i know that you are my one safe haven.
when the morning light falls upon us,
i look into your earthy brown eyes
and glimpse a world with just you and i.

ginger hair cascading down her back
her footsteps echo against the walls
tears streaming down her rosy cheeks
her hands trembling with an aching
sadness that overcomes her
this feeling of remorse and revenge
brings her to the steps of his door
where she sheds her lover's blood
drops of scarlet stains her fingers
painting her silk dress a sinister red
she lies beside his lifeless body
and weeps for the emptiness
in her heart until she drowns
it is a quiet releasing death
as she breathes her last breath

you're my little secret
holding you late at night
small, gentle forehead kisses
seems just so right

for each lingering goodbye
my day becomes melancholy,
but thoughts of your bright eyes
while we lie together eases my mind

being in your sweet company
causes butterflies to bloom from within me
each moment with you is like a dream
delightful ones, where you never leave

light, lonely june showers
brings me morning flowers
that come to life across my window
twirling and creeping unto
the yellow walls of my room
they all bloom endlessly
choking and taking the air i breathe
until i am no longer me

you take my breath away
without even knowing it
there is something so intoxicating
about your laughter, your words
especially that soul-stirring smile
when your eyes meet mine
it is almost electrifying
as feelings of delight rushes
through my veins and into
my beating heart
telling me that i am
head over heels for you

it was raining heavily that day.
we met at an old record store.
the sky turned a peaceful grey,
bells tinkled as i opened the door
and i was hit with the smell
of dusty vinyls that were waiting
to be gently touched and held
by dreamers, lovers of messy
thoughts and burning secrets.
our fates were entwined at the start,
and i do not think i had any regrets
when the music took our hearts.

there was a boy i loved
that was quite
a bit messy
and kind of lonely.
it was undreamed of because
he was a burning flame---
hot and radiant and bright.
from lunch dates
to first kisses under the rain
i dared to fall for someone
who stole my heart.
he was like the late city crowds---
colorful, bright, and loud.
there was a boy i loved
that was quite
a bit ruined,
but was my undoing.
