Break

Do we need to separate to know the value of one another?
Do we need absence to make the heart grow fonder?
I don't need to break to realise that with you I am whole
The thumping ***** in my chest can't be the only one that sinks at the thought

Before you

I spoke a lot before you,
You weren’t my first words.
I wrote a lot before you,
You weren’t my first poems.
I read a lot before you,
You weren’t my first story.
I bled a lot before you,
You weren’t my first wound.
Many were interested before you,
You weren't the first in line.
The difference between you and those who came before you,
Is that I was their death,
And you were mine

Not yet

I can hold his name in my throat
But until the day I can hold his hand
I strangle my soul with a silent sigh
He's not mine

The best way to overcome fear is to embrace it

We often overcome the things we fear with the ones we love
But what if what I'm afraid of
is loving you too much?
And the suffocation of separation
I'm also afraid of the regret that will come with not loving you too

Bullet

I'd take it
only if it was you
holding the gun

All day

Sometimes the thought of you flits across my mind
And I swear I can hear the happiness in my grin
I can feel my heart elevate to pour out of my mouth
Like a song only I could know

I pray

for
you
&
FOR
YOU
