eyes like the dark soil i'll be buried in
mixed with the bright sunlight that heats the cobblestone

i swear
that smile can fix everything

with just that one look
i can feel all the collapsed pieces of my life
forthcoming from the rubble
but then you leave
as you always do now
and that gracious grin follows

then i remember
you're not mine to keep
and unfortunately
it’s a merciless existence
without you

People cover up wounds with bandages,
whether it's the littlest paper cut,
or the largest **** all the way to the bone.
They are always covered with bandages,
hidden for no one else to see.

That's what's happening to society
We're all hurting,
whether it's the littlest paper cut in the heart,
to the largest **** all the way to the bone.
But we are forced to cover it up with a smile,
so no one will see we are dying.
You don't realize how people are hurting inside,
all you see is the smile.
And sooner or later,
you will look in her casket and say
"I always remembered her beautiful smile,
I never knew she was hurting inside".

write so many words that you can stitch together the bleeding slits on your skin with delicate sentences of the heartache that caused them

write so many words that lullabies pour out of you like soft waterfalls flowing to your childrens ears letting them know that the world isn't always as bad as it seems

write so many words that they overflow on the empty pages of books setting whole universes to life in the minds of millions

write so many words that you can never look at this earth the same because everything you see forms dazzling poetry in your head

write so many words that your hand aches from the relief of pouring out your soul on paper and setting your relentless thoughts to rest with every letter

just write

write until the world feels right again

i am new to writing and really think that it should be valued more by so many people

unconditional
what a divine way to describe it

how else would you say
that i will love you
no matter how much you hurt me
that you could **** me
and i'd die
with a smile
plastered across my face
simply from the touch of your skin
and i'd die
with salty love filling my eyes
and pouring over the face
you once called yours

ah yes, unconditional
i couldn't have described it better

like the leaves
or branches
of the mighty oak
tree.

like the petals
of the rose, or the
lilac or lily.

like the gathering
tears on your
eyelash's ridge

like night, or rain
or the broken
boy on the bridge

we must all eventually fall.
