Love
The L stands for lost
The O stands for outsider
The V stands for vicious
The E stands for envy

You tell me,
I need to breath,
As you watch,
My rib cage heave.

There's comfort,
In your clouded eyes,
But I ignore,
Your feeble cries,
It's pity lined,
With bitter lies.

You tell me,
I need to breath,
I hold my breath,
And watch you leave.

*you tell me,
I need to breath,
And suffocate,
My self belief.

I used to walk around
with my head held high
untouched and untainted
by the ugly side of the world
I was so innocent
so pure
but now
I see the tainted,
rough and harsh
side of the world.

We all have that special person,
who has the powers to do anything.
with that contagious smile,
that contagious laugh, that goes on for miles.
That can light up a whole room.  Similar to an applause.
Once one person starts,
Everyone follows.

It's funny
how we do these things
to seem cooler
to appear prettier
or more perfect
all for someone
who doesn't even glance twice at you.

her strength is a thing of wonder
and her tenacity inspires
it’s respect that fuels his love
not only desire

though of course she’s a source
of untold attraction
a font of splendour
a source of pure satisfaction

though sometimes she forgets
that she needs some support
someone without judgement
to whom she can report

and let herself go
let her emotions express
one to whom she can cling
in moments of duress

his love for her
knows no conditions
and he will always be there
when offered the invitation

his sadness is desperate
when she suffers turmoil
but he’d always rather know
and would never recoil

she is his everything
his world embodied
there will never be another
not mind, soul nor body

Come as you are
  no accessories
      no extras
         they are simply distractions
             make your mind bare
               vulnerable
                   I want to explore your mind
                     make flowers grow
                        make smiles sprout
                           in even the darkest
                             saddest parts of you
