She brushed off her tears as if it were dirt on her pants

And I wanted to tell her
That things are better when they're *****

I Can Only Love You So Much

I love you
I am hopelessly and desperately in love with you
But I love my well being too
And the last thing I want to choose between one or other
But I will if you force me

And as much as it saddens me,
I won't be choosing you

Compromise

"I wanted to wait."*
She thought to herself.

He got dressed.

You're My Favorite

You ripped my heart
Right out of my chest
I feel like there's no breath in me
When you stand so close

I crumple to pieces
Everytime you turn to me and smile
You've got the kind of eyes
I could look at for awhile

Nothing about us is right
You're my greatest sin
But the devil has cast his lots
And I'm losing all self control

You dance so gently
On every one of my heart strings
You're every song I've ever loved
The greatest piece of poetry I know

I Won't Feel Sorry

I am brutally honest
Raw
Untamable

And I'm not sorry if that makes you uncomfortable or not like me
Because I refuse to apologize for having the courage to be exactly who I am:

A mess of a lot beautiful and broken things all piled on top of each other

Should've Been Us

I never understood
When two people cared about each other
Why they weren't just simply together

And then you entered my life
With the worst **** timing
And I realized there's nothing simple about love

An Ocean, Blue as Can Be

"Why is the ocean blue?"

I took in a salty breath before I replied.

*Well, wouldn't you be crying all the time if the world expected you to carry all its sadness?
