I wrote you a poem
but didn't actually
quite find the right melody in those words,
I painted it in black
and stained it with red,
and I may have written it
in a helpless attempt to a fixing,
I'm painfully aware
of all the tear stains
and the fading ink and once again
I apologize for the the shortness of it
but the worst of it all
is the shadows of the past
hiding in the in between
of the colorless lines.

Love I tried to tell you,
I tried to warn you,
make you see
that this would never work.
I tried to show you
I'm not all that great,
I'm not what you tell people
when you say you found love.
You should have believed me
when I said
I would break your heart.
Maybe then we wouldn't be
this far apart
from each other.

I'm not your favorite song,
I'm not your morning sun,
I'm not your shooting star
and I'm sure
it is not me
the one who owns
your heart.

It's hard to spend the nights I have
without you in my arms,
you promised
to play me a song and now
I can't help but wonder
if you play it every night,
but the loud screams
of all those times I've been broken hearted,
made me deaf to everything else,
and maybe even the shining light
of my hopes and dreams
made me blind
to your presence.

I wish she could see
that beauty
decided to take her
as its lover,
and make her
the most beautiful angel
that has ever
been alive.

I admire the beauty of your eyes
and it reminds me
of the color of the ocean
it's calm and soothing,
it holds the universe
and I lose myself.

We write our love with a disguised passion,
we write it with touches of lust and desire.
That's the kind of love I never expected I would find,
the kind of love that feels like mine.
And honestly,
only mine.
I told you that,
I'm yours you're mine.
We are a mixture of all the sins and the love in all kinds.
Our love is like an ocean in a storm,
the waves crash down hard and the tide breaks on the shoreline. The raindrops falling like sharp knives
that intwine with the salty water that moves with such an aggressive strength.
But after all
it's the most beautiful scene
I've ever seen.
