Punctual
steve Oct 24
I wanted to end it period
But I continued with a comma
Renewed excitement by exclamation
Sometimes why the question marks
     Of which feels like indentation
The start of a new paragraph
Marks the preposition
Of a new start

The one I seek
steve Oct 23
I would promise you infinite today's,
If tomorrow was guaranteed.
I would promise you my heart,
If it wasn't locked away indeed.
I'd promise you all the right words,
If but one would stay.
I'd promise you every ounce of love,
If not for fear of it failing,
I'd promise you effort and growth,
Unending desire between us both.
The one I seek,
So these promises,
I can keep.

I seen
steve Dec 2023
I seen salvation in your eyes.
I just refused to see the devil smiling at me.
Some cruel trick, to make me feel safe.
Then leave me stranded with wreckless abandon.
You were everything to me.
I was nothing to you.
And that's why it hurts me so.

Third person
steve Dec 2023
Everyday I see you with him, a piece of me dies.
My eyes are as soaked as these rain soaked skies.
Emotions escape as tears and I feel drained.
My love for you is so hard to contain.
It's swelling and bursting out.
I'm overflowing with the thought of loving you.
It makes me happy when you cross my mind.
You're everything I need in this crazy spiraling world.
I fear I have not the words to express myself to you.
I'd give you my heart over and over if it meant you got to feel love again.
I'd give you my soul to see you look at me that way again.
You are forever and ever on my mind.
I catch your eyes sometimes and I can't help but feel your need for something short of a miracle.
I want to be that and everything more.
You are the tears that I make. You are the love that I can't shake.
You are the world to me. I but want to share it with you.
Hand in hand, heart to heart, soul to soul.
I love you.
steve Sep 2023
I've loved you since our first kiss. We work so well as a team. The way you look into my eyes melts me to my soul. There isn't a thing in this world that I wouldn't do for you. I feel so alive with you. With you everything feels right. You make me feel like my heart is so full and over flowing. You are everything to me. I want you to take a chance on me. I know you've been hurt in the past, ghosted, made to feel alone. I promise to never do those things. I wish I had the words to express to you how I feel. Nothing I say is even close. You created a fire in me that only you can tame. You have my heart and always will. I'll love you with every ounce of my being and more. I want to be there when you succeed. I want our lives to give one another's greater meaning. You've helped me find who I am again. You've taught me that it's okay to let my walls down. I'm asking you, praying that you, do the same for me. I love you Summer. Until my last breath leaves my body, I'll give you everything I am and so much more. You're my person, my souls other half. You're my love I don't want to let go.

Hope
steve Sep 2023
I'd give you the heart from my chest.
If it meant you get another breath.
It feels like we are just going through the motions.
I keep fighting all these emotions.
I'd stand by your judgment and conviction.
Paint me the picture you want depicted.
From our first kiss, you planted the seed.
Of love in my soul and every day you feed it.
From the moment our eyes met.
I can't help this feeling I get.
You make me soar through the clouds.
I didn't know you'd be my everything.
But I love it.
Sep 2023 · 86
Searching
steve Sep 2023
I'm always searching for the right words to convince you.
They always seem so distant and out of reach.
I want to show you that I care and that one day I'd be worthy of your love. Everyday that passes, my heart breaks a little more.
Never knowing how you truly feel.
I love you because of who you are. The things that you say and do.
The person that you want to be for everyone around you. You are all that I've been searching for.
You are my yesterday and my tomorrow, you are my then and now.
I love you because you taught me to love myself. I love you because this world is so full of hate and evil. I love you because you taught me not everyone is that way. I love you because you give me faith for a better future.
I love you and I hope that someday you'll love me.
I love you.
Sep 2023 · 785
I promise
steve Sep 2023
I promise to love you when it's hard.
I promise to feel you from the heart.
I promise to always be here.
I promise not to live in fear.
I promise I'm not perfect.
I promise I'll try to be.
I promise to not be conserved.
I promise to love you how you deserve.
I promise to walk the walk.
I promise to always be here to talk.
I promise to be everything you need.
I promise to try to be what you want.
I promise you this promise, with a full heart. I promise this promise soul to soul. I promise to always keep my word.
I promise you this promise, because I love you.
I promise.

Never let go
steve Aug 2023
I hope your heart has room for me to fit in it.
I'd follow mine to you where eternity meets the infinite.
Your love is boundless and out of this galaxy.
I just hope it isn't my fallacy.
Your taste so sweet and intimate.
It starts a fire in me that burns so wildly.
It courses through my veins like water  crashing through a dam.
The sudden rush is ecstasy when our eyes meet.
I'd do anything for a love so sweet.
You are everything to me. My drive to accelerate my life. To not hold back or to be afraid. You are my strength when I feel weak.
You are my savior when I need saving.
You are my love and I never want to let go.
Aug 2023 · 78
Wandering
steve Aug 2023
Roaming to and hither, with no sense of direction.
Taking a moments pause for self reflection.
Something so inate, has me feeling irate.
The anger is confusing, leaves me questioning.
What ever was it's beckoning?
Trying to center myself and breathe.
Lest this attitude never leave.
All that dwells within shall weigh me down, unless I can lighten my burdens and figure them out.
Cast away these shackles that hinder my mind and soul.
Eager to ease my own spirit.
Gazing at the stars and letting my mind wander adrift.
Ebbing away at what's amiss.
I find myself solitary and wandering.
The breeze soothing, the rain misting my skin, in a damp, cool layer.
Here I am wandering, without a prayer.
Aug 2023 · 74
Found
steve Aug 2023
I have given you so much of myself.
That I became lost in you.
So much time and thought, I still don't know what to do.
You forever encroach my thoughts and emotions.
I would've given you the world and swam oceans.
Just for the chance to love you.
You seem to want to bid me adieu.
This love makes me feel lost.
I'd love you no matter the cost.
Through all your past bruises and scars.
I love you for who you are.
I'd search the world over for you, over and again.
You are the love that I have found.
Aug 2023 · 60
Lovingly yours
steve Aug 2023
Your voice, a symphony of heaven
divinely orchestrated.
Cascading lovely silhouettes unto my ears. Shaking and uprooting my fears.
Giving me strength I knew not of.
Lifting me and showing me a new light. Guiding me in to a place so beautiful. I find my heart. So loving and open for you. Hoping you accept me in yours as I have you in mine.
You are the reason I walk with confidence and pride anew. I emerge a new man, a metamorphosis I owe to you. I am humbled. I value what you have taught me and hope to continue to learn. So sinfully beautiful you are to me. So lovingly yours if you allowed it. So yours. So lovingly yours.
Aug 2023 · 73
I love you
steve Aug 2023
Through love stained eyes I see you.
Wrapped in purity and joy.
I'm elated in ways that confuse me.
For my eyes do not believe what they see.
You are but a glimpse of heaven. Ever ascending.
You are my reason to keep loving unending.
You are so precious and so true.
A day without you is cruel.
Never-ending thoughts crash through my mind like waves on a beach.
Eroding away the unpleasantness left by others.
I hope to give you my heart and for you to receive it in love and joy.
To cherish it forever, as I do yours.
I love you and hope you feel the same.
Until that day, I love you.
Aug 2023 · 82
You are
steve Aug 2023
You are everything to me.
You are the air that I breathe.
You are my joy.
Even when you are coy.
You are the love that I feel.
You are what I needed to heal.
You are my feet when I cannot stand.
You are my world because I am but a man.
You are every detail of the plan.
You are sanity when the world is crazy.
You are my motivation if I feel lazy.
You are who I want to make memories with.
You are my love sealed with a kiss.
You are my foundation when my world falls apart.
You are who I trust with my heart.
You are my world, my life, my everything and more.
You are.

Summer
steve Aug 2023
I miss the Summer that made me feel alive.
I miss the Summer who gives me drive.
I miss the Summer that looks at me with so much passion.
I miss the Summer who takes action.
I love the Summer that flirts.
I love the Summer that wears my shirts.
I love the Summer that takes away everything that hurts.
I love the Summer that's my world.
I love you Summer.
Aug 2023 · 74
I don't know
steve Aug 2023
I don't like how this feels.
You were supposed to help me heal.
I can't stand you looking at him.
Why am I not good enough?
Why do I have to be so tough?
This hurts so much.
He isn't right for you.
Why does it have to be a choice?
I want to love you so much.
I want to feel your touch.
I want our hearts to be one.
But I feel like I'm done.
I don't want to be.
I want it to be me.
I don't know.
Aug 2023 · 77
I am
steve Aug 2023
I am all that I can be.
I am me for you.
I am so lost.
I am without a clue.
I am struggling to come to.
I am forever chasing you.
I am not wanting to let go.
I am forever grateful for you.
Jul 2023 · 72
Steps
steve Jul 2023
I wander a road less traveled.
My path endlessly twisting and turning. One step brings me closer to you.  One step closer to the love of my life. These steps I take, are in eagerness and haste. To hold you in my thoughts pales in comparison to in my arms. My breath gets quick and shallow. I am in disbelief that I am almost there. I reach out for you and grasp at nothing. The image of you fades. I awake distraught. Yearning for your affection, my feet touch the floor. I am ready to take another step.
One more step.

Dream
steve Jul 2023
The way the sunshine reflects off your hair.
Pardon me, I mean not to stare.
I am truly enraptured.
Fleeting moments of true beauty captured.
Your flair and style, are all so inviting to linger awhile.
Allow me this moment in eternity,
To open this love lock turn key.
Your soft, sweet, sultry tone,
Grabs me by the heart and ears.
I am happy and in love,
I forget the tears.
I swell with pride and joy.
Your time I so enjoy.
I bare my heart and soul to you.
In your hands I trust mine own heart.
For your hands are soft and loving.
All encompassing my world,
I stand but a man with a dream of love.
I dream this dream wishing for no end.
I dream this dream of you.
Mar 2021 · 82
Worth while
steve Mar 2021
Tears roll down your face.
My heart begins a sudden pace.
I feel the air leave the room.
The light becomes gloom.
All shreds of happiness dissipate.
My mind begins to decimate.
All options of how to react.
My body tightens and contracts.
Then you smile.
And suddenly life seems worth while.
Feb 2021 · 252
I wish
steve Feb 2021
I wish you no more tears to cry.
I wish I was the reason why.
I wish for your touch.
I wish to love you so much.
I wish our hearts grew together.
I wish you happiness forever.
I wish those eyes never stop glistening.
I wish to be always listening.
I wish you less pain to go through
I wish a wish for you.
Feb 2021 · 99
Time
steve Feb 2021
I get lost in your eyes.
Between space and time.
Moments standing still.
Making my heart fill.
Joy and happiness merge in twists and twirls.
Your eyes the window into your world.
Then I blink,
And get lost all over again.
Oct 2020 · 83
Untitled
steve Oct 2020
I hate my pain. I love my mistakes.
Nothing to gain, yet everything is at stake.
I open my eyes, life is dark.
I am a lover in disguise, it's a start.
I yearn affection, yet bleed compassion.
I want your attention, while time is passing.
I grow old as I wait, for you to love me.
I despise this blind state, I just want to see.
Lifes final seconds are fleeting, I fade alone self defeating.
I tried to love you, I lost myself.
I wish I knew what to do, into the abyss I delve.
Wondering weary eyed and hopeless, I am alone.
Aug 2020 · 81
Candle
steve Aug 2020
I hold a candle.
Dripping with love, hardening my heart.
For as the candle melts, my love for you fades.
The flame jumps and flickers.
Finally giving out.
My memory of you is but a smoking wick.
Vanishing in wisps of smoke.
I held a candle.

Pieces
steve May 2020
Pardon my happiness. Your voice carries tones of beauty. Hearing every word is a willing duty. Grace of Angel's fail to compare. To tempt temptation do I dare? I hope you realize your worth. For you are everything but a curse. You have the power to change feelings and emotions. You deserve the best of notions. May the world serve you in peace. As I lay asunder, torn to pieces.
Jan 2020 · 73
Moving on
steve Jan 2020
Could you love me more than she did?
If you had the chance would you prove it?
When I was hurt would you listen?
When I work hard would you say I glisten?
Would you make me feel accepted?
Would you brag about me to your bestest?
Even through everything that tests us?
When I was cold would you hold me close?
I already love you, you are who I chose.
Jan 2020 · 153
Connected
steve Jan 2020
What makes you think you deserve my best? You didnt love me at my worst. I'm getting this off my chest, it feels like a curse. I'm running and drowning in my own head. Tripping over what I never said. The downward spiral was evil and twisted. I just want to look in your eyes and feel like I existed. All of the evils I've fought and bested. Your affection is all I wanted to feel connected. My hope's haunt my dreams. And your devilish games make my heart scream.
Dec 2019 · 187
Trash
steve Dec 2019
I feel used by consumers. An infectious tumor. Festering and growing. So alone and not slowing. People treat me as they please. Companionship such a tease. I yearn to be held in a higher regard. Do not be scared to say hi, that's a start.
Dec 2019 · 230
Wants
steve Dec 2019
I want to be your knight. Your resolve when you stand and fight. I want to be your courage when you fight your fears. Your laugh through the tears. Your smile when you are happy. Your center when you are off balance. I just want to love you.
Dec 2019 · 123
Reflections
steve Dec 2019
What is perfect? Is it the way the light reflects off your hair? Is it when I need you, you're there? I love you and I know it's in my eyes. From your appeasing aesthetics, to your thighs. Everything about you, I can't get enough. I long for your touch. Oh the sudden rush. You make my words so frantic. Every intention and meaning romantic. I want to be intimate with you in all aspects. My desires, my fears, what inspires, only you my dear.
Dec 2019 · 312
Realms
steve Dec 2019
Your eyes glisten with shimmering beauty. Taking me beyond realms of possible definition. My mind twisting and turning thoughts of you with intention. Contemplating a successful future hand in hand. For you I'd hustle, bustle and do the best I can. For you are worth more than a fortune.  In my eyes, you are my only, my everything.  My forever.
Dec 2019 · 240
Smile
steve Dec 2019
I sway to and fro. Unbound from these earthly shackles. I'm learning to grow. Mine own predicaments I tackle. The need to love you slowly ebbs from my being. For the future is worth my seeing. A smile slowly cracks my lips, I've grown and I relish it. I no longer have the tendency to be reliant on your recency. I take long strides and leaps and bounds to where no one knows. I no longer drag my toes. Ever willing to live free and lovingly. Only true happiness stops me suddenly. And a smile cracks my lips. The one I needed, now this is it.
Dec 2019 · 99
Hurts
steve Dec 2019
You ever just blink and a memory flashes? Before your eyes and it passes. It makes you think of a time, when you were happy. The lasting effect she has on me still. Takes my breathe and my will. If she knew how important she was to me. I turned a blind eye to her and still see. I loved her crazily. Now I love myself lazily because she is gone. Whatever did I do so wrong? I miss her elegant smile. Our eyes would lock and I'd be lost for awhile. Missing her hurts me so.

Behind brown eyes
steve Oct 2019
Behind brown eyes, I realize the difference between me and you. Views askew I see in darker shades than you. I see the malice and the hate, when love can't compensate. The anger and the rudeness to strangers. I hate less and less and must confess, we should love more and drop this hateful mess. Shake hands and look up. As tears drop my jaw juts. Behind brown eyes I am alone in my head. I am alone in the cognitive recognition I have zero friends. Its behind brown eyes that wears a fake smile, all the while, the heart is degrading inside. Laughing and jesting. Smiling and suggesting to be happy. Being sappy with no shoulder to cry on. Constantly running in place. Not caring about saving face. Behind brown eyes hides a heart, that bleeds for everyone. Behind brown eyes, a man slowly dies. Behind brown eyes.
Sep 2019 · 265
Hail to my love
steve Sep 2019
I hope it hits you like HAIL.
The very depth inTO.
The love I give, oh MY.
You ask why I do this LOVE.
It is meant to be FOR,
Deeper meaning when I say IT.
What I mean IS.
For all to know and never be FORSAKEN.
Sep 2019 · 144
Hearing you say 2
steve Sep 2019
I have a fear I hold so dear. It beats and pounds at my chest. The way I love you so, feels like ages ago. I want to grow apart, me and my heart. For in my wisdom I have felt pain. For in my stress I have gained. The knowledge of my weakness and my strength. I have sipped from miseries cup and drank. At last hope upon command I must obey. Seeing your lips part and hearing you say, I love you.

Freedom
steve Aug 2019
I'm looking into the eyes of institution. Behind the bars of my own minds constitution. Thoughts rushing and twirling around. Only locked away are the ones so profound. I have been in this incarcerated state. One to many days late. If only I could stop my brain to abstain these confining reflections. I struggle and fight and hold in contention. These freeing thoughts that don't escape me. They construct this framing. I've almost tasted freedom thus far, I can see it through these mind prison bars.
Aug 2019 · 250
Free
steve Aug 2019
Dreams of you haunt my reality. This is my duality. I think of you in disdain. I want to crash my mental plane. The memory of you causes me apathy. Wallowing and drowning in self agony. I want you to release your toxic grip on my mind. Myself anew I want to find. I see you in the same dream. We always talk there, it tears at my seams. What does it all mean? I just want to be free.
Aug 2019 · 132
Hearing you say
steve Aug 2019
Sitting here in my own head. Wishing I was in your arms instead. The depth and love in your eyes. You now share with other guys. Hearing you say "I love you." Used to shake me to my core. Now I am just depressions *****. She's feisty and unforgiving. But I'm fighting for a life worth living.
Aug 2019 · 119
Get outta here
steve Aug 2019
Even being friends comes to an end. You helped me heal wounds and reopened them and deepened. Can't believe you're so shallow, you went off the deep end. I invited you into my life and took pride in that, you played me and my ex, you even pried in that. You ran to me because of your crazy *****. Judging my life now, even though yours needs fixed? Don't you dare judge my situation. You're looking hungry, whens the last time since you ate son? You wanna go rounds? Because I'm nothing you know about. I'm glad you finally showed your intentions, because our paths are going different directions. Life is going to ******* up more than my fists can. So whens its time, take those lumps hand in hand man.
Aug 2019 · 128
Like no other
steve Aug 2019
I'm shaking because I'm nervous. I'm thinking do I deserve this? I'm up late because I have a date tomorrow. She'll be in my car though. I'll be driving safe as the car goes. She's so splendid. Beyond my intentions not intended. So filled with poise and excitement. It's so late I wonder where the time went. I even shaved and plan to behave. I haven't felt this rush in so long. This is to right to be wrong. I hope I'm on the right floor because I feel elevated. No argument here, she's to perfect to be debated. I feel my blood rushing and pulsing. She isnt getting half of my heart, she's getting the full thing. She's so beautiful and sassy. More elegant than classy. She is perfect, like no other.
Aug 2019 · 213
I didnt
steve Aug 2019
I feel criminal with this context. Hidden subliminal in this text. I'm vexed at what's next. Tired of writing on being wrecked or how I haven't slept. I wanna find love except, like chess it can't be held in check. Thoughts twirling in my head like a tornado, I can't help but feel winded. I wanna climb this mountain of love and be ascended. But its been taken from me rescinded. I thought I finally convinced it, but I'm still alone so I guess I didn't.

Insanity
steve Aug 2019
My heart is ripping, tearing and aching. It's unfortunate beating I'm taking. It pumps and courses with pains past. Alas why does it hurt so I ask? It reverbrates with echoes of distant I love yous. Broken and taking frequent abuses. I slip into conscious thoughts of fond memories. And my smile fades when I recall what you did to me. Shadows and fragments of the woman I loved slowly decay. Sobbing and shouting my voice begins to fade. The thoughts of you remain, my hold on reality is slipping away. I loved as in a dream, I lay awake at night and listen to my heart scream. You're elegance and beauty were never compared. I dare say the walls of my heart are broken beyond repair. I close my eyes for an instant. And am so close to memories so distant. I'll be whatever you branded me, just please disappear my love and free me from this insanity.
Aug 2019 · 129
My movie
steve Aug 2019
This is a bad movie, I don't like this scene, I've been recast. You had my heart and ripped it. Almost like it was scripted. I feel played, you put on a good performance I must say. I'm trying to act fine, even though you dropped me like a bad line. My love was rejected, on my own now redirected. Now I'm the star of my own show, feeling brighter now check my glow. I'm in a better sequence, maybe on a roll with no deliquence. I'm the lead role of my life as I expected, you will no long be credited.
Aug 2019 · 134
Goodbye two
steve Aug 2019
I wonder, am I diluting these illusions of seclusion? I want to borrow your voice because I'm alone. It carries a familiar tone. Please forgive me, I'm trying to atone. I always looked at you so slanted, I always took what you said for granted. Now it's set in stone granite. So many warnings I should've listened. So many words I missed them. I'm missing you and you're with him. I walk my way head up high, secretly wishing I was that guy. I miss you being around, our love was so profound. I hope he treats you right in leaps and bounds. I couldn't bare to stare in those eyes and beg for another try, I thought I already said goodbye?
Aug 2019 · 120
Scheme
steve Aug 2019
This took a long time to catch. I guess it's far fetched. I was on the apex, now check out my on point flex. You left me wrecked, now look who saved me next. Now I pose this, I no longer need to be coddled. My current interest is a model. You can be your own victim, I'm done with those symptoms. In my heart you couldn't pay the rent, you've been evicted. You get the picture I depicted? I have to adjust my sights, not used to trying to focus at such heights. As I look down on what we were, I realize we weren't so pure. Now I have a filter on tap to be sure. I'll always remember our start, but now someone else has taken your place in my heart. I try not to be obscene, but it's a curse for me not to be mean. We just don't seem to be in the same grand scheme.
Aug 2019 · 129
Always
steve Aug 2019
I keep wanting more, I'm yearning. The wheels of my mind keep moving, they're turning. The fire in my heart is so hot, it's burning. I feel the waves of this ocean of emotions. I get the idea but you missed the notions. I'm used to rejection, but upon inspection, I didn't deserve the ejection from our relationship. I heard words I never wanted to leave your lips. I sit here in contemplation, wondering what went wrong in our relations. I only ever wanted you to be happy. And all I can do is remember and be sappy. I grimace as your image passes through my mind. In your love, myself did I find. All I can do is remember, I want our connection to be dismembered. You bring me so much pain now. I'll always love you, that much I vow. Until our paths cross again, you'll always be my friend.
Aug 2019 · 199
Who are you?
steve Aug 2019
I always try to reach you, but you're always so distant. I never stopped trying, I was so consistent. I want to have a choice, in deciding if I want your touch or to hear your voice. You're all I think about, but I doubt I'll give you another thought. We laughed, we loved and we fought. Being alone I'm so distraught. I value the lessons I've been taught. So wound up and what not. I don't want you to be someone I forgot.
Aug 2019 · 147
Goodbye
steve Aug 2019
I apologize for not responding. I was despondent and absconding. I'm layered in fears. Emotions tearing at my tears.  I am aware I gave you years. I'm going to a better place and I hope to not see you there. No matter how hard I try to displace you, I remember embracing you. I loved you and loved again, now I'm alone again like when I began. Why am I daunted by the haunted thoughts of us? I didn't want to believe your trust was only a bust. I move on because I must, not because it's right or just. I don't want to lust in lieu of you. We've gone our separate ways and so many words come to mind that I never got to say. I condone this road I'm on alone. I loved you and you were the reason why, but we parted and this is goodbye.

what's the matter? Don't you hear the patter, of this lonley beating heart? We had it all from the start. I grew leaps and bounds for you, only to die in the end. Only conclusion I drew, I'd do it all again for you. In a heartbeat, as the blood pulses in my veins with unfathomable heat. I'd love you over and over, My last thoughts of you escape me, as i try to peaceably be. No wound so deep, as the one you see.
