A gentle push
A careful shrug
You show me you care
In the form of a hug
Because words are hard for us
There's so much unsaid
But less hurt can come
From a kiss on the head
Actions speak louder
Than your hysterical shouts
No matter how many mess ups
That put your flame out
You still come full fire
And spring tears to my eyes
I mess up once more
But this time my fire dies

Ocean Blue
... My eyes,
To mirror your sighs,
I will give you my smile,
To dance with your smile,
I will give you my hands,
For you to paint the beauty
Of the fertile lands
In the hills of Tuscany.
I will give you my open arms
To surround your shoulders,
When you feel cold during the winters.
I will give you my soft kisses
To dry up your tears
On your pale cheeks
So I can chase your fears.
I will give you my memory,
For you to remember
Our forgotten kisses, if any.
I will tell you some of my secrets,
Even the ones from the Pool,
In case you show interest,
And there you would think I'm a fool.
And of course I will give you
My Ocean Blue,
For you to dive into.
But I will never give you
Anything that can hurt you.
Somehow,
You need to know
That I can only give all this
When you come back from the abyss
To which you've decided to depart,
Leaving me alone to dream of you,
With art.

I.
i loved you quietly for years.
i didn't know i loved you or how much in fact that i was in love with you.
i should have guessed
when i started feeling dizzy when you would walk in a room.
or when my heart would skip a beat or two when you looked my way.
i should have guessed when i thought so hard for so long
about the moments our paths would cross.
and no matter how many times i told myself to look at you, to face you
my head bowed down at the second we would brush by each other
a habitual action of fear
of missing you and refusing to look at the face of lost love

now i see how much energy was put into holding myself back from loving you
and it makes sense as to why it was so difficult
i forced myself to look away from your speckled green eyes
i told myself not to love you, never to allow myself to love you.

Can I not take

A compliment

Without questioning

Whether he means it

Look into the mirror

See what his eyes believe

Sees me as it is

Red lips he wants to kiss.

I only tug at myself because you wear sleeves too short for me to grab

If you don't like me shy
Then you'll despise me when confident

It's a rule, don't you understand?
Ann Nicole Jan 2015
If you don't want to kiss me
While my lips are torn
Then don't kiss them
Either that or go find someone
That you don't make nervous
Ann Nicole Jan 2015
I can stare for a long time
And still see the same thing
A selfish cruel heart
That pulls my heart strings
And I'm lucky to have gotten
Out quite okay
Alive and well
Prepared for more days
That I know will suffocate me
Yet I welcome them still
Because through bad or good
I have plans to fulfill
And you could take part
If you wished, don't you see?
Your attitude decides
If you're worth it, to me
