She's gone.
That girl you once knew.
With the sparkle in her
Eyes as she talked about
The silliest of things?
She's gone.
Too busy with schoolwork to
Take a moment and
Remember the good things
In life.
But, then again,
Those were taken from
Her a long time
Ago.

don't leave me in
           the morning,
stay forever.
           you are my everything.
my world,
           my universe.

I think of you
So intensely and
Thoroughly that
I think my
Heart might
Explode.

i have not found it yet
the light that shines over my head
from a far i know i have seen it
but my heart and soul is still wounded

i want to get out of this misery
that satiates the darkness within me
but where do i get strength?
where do i begin?

i trust the powerful,
i know i have hope
but my wounded soul is still
heavy with the untold

I love the fact
that I get to see you
in ways nobody else
has ever been able to see.
Like the way you laugh
when I feel like being silly
or the hardness in your jawline
after just fighting with your mom
of the flash of mischief in your eyes
right before you kiss me.
I get to see the side of you
that still acts like you're five years old
and brightens immediately
as we run towards a playground.
I notice the aura you have,
as if the air around you
was scattered with flakes of gold.
I get to feel the rush
of your breath on my neck
whenever you're right behind me—
and when it feels like everything in me is empty,
I can know the safety
of being encircled in your arms.
And nobody else
sees these things quite like I can,
because nobody else will ever love you the exact same way.
