i love that you know i prefer
fairy lights over candles
and coffee over tea
and cats over dogs
        i love that you know all my details
        as if you made a map of the
        marks on my skin
        and traced them every day

She
She must be able to see what I see
Feel what I feel
Hear what I hear.
Does she blind herself?
Does she deafen herself?
Does she deaden the pain somehow?
I scream inside that this is not you,
you are worth more.
Love is not a slap
Love is not staying
Love is not hearing over and over words such as *****.
But, she is not me anymore, she has chosen a path.
A path I cannot follow, but follow I must,
for she is me I am her.
the physical me switches me off, just before
the blow, just before the scream.

You were the Sun vibrant; so beautiful that it made your eyes water if you stared to long.
I was the Moon capable of nothing without you.
You brought light to my dark and broken world.
And in that first peek of a sunrise;
I knew that you would change my world forever.
I knew that things would get better.
and I fooled myself to believe sunsets didn't happen.

Fall for him the way shooting stars
fall for the earth,

and darling,

I promise he'll catch you
knowing all that you're worth.

Do you remember
when the dragon saved the princess
from that awful knight
because I can remember it clearer than most

the knight, a greedy *******
who's foul lips
wrapped around a glass bottle
who's foul lips
sought the bottle
and nothing more

and remember when he hit the princess that first time
remember when he grabbed her hair
remember when he shoved her down
put away the scars
the scratches
the bruises
treated it as
'oh, he's just showing his love'

and remember
remember that one night
when she finally called his bluff
she said 'no, you don't love me'
remember when he hit her with the bottle
the knight, what a **** bag
but after that,
came the dragon
with his tattoos and heavy beard
on his motorcycle
and beat the knight away
****** him to hell
or at least prison
and a lot of angry inmates

and the princess and the dragon
set away
to have a nice little life together
with the night safely locked and gone
in a far away tower.
She says, “I'm too tall”
Because she thinks she is too big to be held
She says, “I hate my voice”
Because she can only hear herself in recordings
She says, “I don’t know what I'm doing”
Because she can’t see past her shortcomings

But what she doesn't know is that with her head up to my chin she is the perfect size to fall into my arms and be wrapped in an embrace bigger than her insecurities
Or that the low, velvet tone of her voice that dances from her lips could never be captured by a video
Or that her imperfections cower in the face of her all her strengths

And she doesn't know
That I do.
Can't believe I'm posting this.

That One Guy
I don't know
What to do
Even though
I know you are there
For me
After what happend
I feel more alone
I don't know why
I do and I don't feel this way
I don't know

betterdays
.
                                    how is it?
you only live once.
but you can die,
a thousand deaths.


                                    how is it?
i can be blinded,
by your beauty.
but beauty is
in the eye,
of the beholder.


                                    how is it?
that i live,
only for you.
but i live,
to change the world.


                                    how is it?
love is a,
battlefield.
but love is,
life's refuge.


                                    how is it?
you loom large,
in my eyes.
but you make,
the big things,
seem small.


                                    how is it?
that to you,
i am a queen.
but to me,
i am love's
fool... lost.


                                    how is it?
history repeats,
itself.
but you are,
my first truelove.


                                         how....
*how...
