he was a storm.
he came rolling in at unexpected times
he made my skies dark and drenched me in my own tears
he caused a commotion inside my mind and then he would disappear
like nothing had ever happened.
he caused destruction of my mental state and I wondered why for God's sake
he ruined everything in his path and didn't even bother to stick around and see the aftermath
he put out the fire inside my heart
he left me in the dark
like nothing had ever happened.

I said I would never give my love to just anyone
I said I would never give my trust to a lonely one
And I said I would never give in to lust to just have fun
But then I met you
And those nevers turned into maybes
And those maybes turned into oh yes baby
And then it hit me that you weren't just someone
You were the one
And for you,
I'd give it all.

I, am a paradox.
I want happiness but feel sad
I want everything but do nothing
I want success but always repress
I want the best of times but can't get past the worst
I want love but feel hatred
I want you but there's nothing left that I can do.

you, my darling,
are more beautiful than any painting I've ever seen
more intriguing than any novel I've ever read
your voice makes me smile more than my favorite song
you're every painting, novel, and song I've ever loved
but you, my darling, are my favorite work of art.

vying for oxygen
fighting for air
it felt like that when your hands were in my hair
but now you're gone and it feels like you didn't even care
