why would i say "i love you"?
maybe it's because you remind me of poetry.
i love you and every little rhyme,
i cherish every syllable of you.

i would say "i love you" because your beauty could outshine every rain any day.
i say "i love you" because, simply put,
i do

Spiraling
                down
                          a pit
                                  of anxiety.

                     When suddenly

P     r     o     c     r   a    s    tination
spilled         un   e   ve       nly

           on a tiled bathroom floor.

a sweet river runs red
down my wrists
onto my bed
the things i do for a second of bliss
a simple thing,
an angel kiss

put red roses on my grave
i want to be buried in art
and, well, to put it simply
you broke
my heart

“i love you”
those words

                                      from his lips
i believed his deceitful manner
his charisma, it was alluring

when i met you,
i created a person i wanted you to be.
but even when you turned out to not
be the one i wanted
i still
loved you

i want to wake up next to you,
someone i truly love.

i want you to love me
without all the stupid conditions
for more than just my stupid ******* body,
which isn't even all that great.

i want you to care
as much as you do when you're drunk
i wish i was more than a fun little pastime

i just want your love
