I feel like a fish
out of water

Or a bird
in the sea

I'm certain
I'm drowning

In a place
I was never meant to be.

Come on
Say something
Say everything
I'm giving up
I can't wait
any longer
I'm giving up
Come on
Tell me
Say something
Say everything
Say anything
I'm giving up.

I don't know how hard it's been
for you to learn to cope.
I cannot see the scars beneath
your skin, your flesh, your bones.

I will never feel the wretched feelings
that made you so ****** up,
nor will I ever bear the beating
you still feel in your gut.

I know that all you've made it through
has made you who you are
no matter how much pain you knew,
I'm here to heal your heart.

Stop over thinking it.

Stop analyzing each
and every doubt
that crosses your mind.
Forget about the
hesitations that linger
with every word.
They are nothings.
They are irrelevant -
minor technicalities;
balanced by society
but can they be
dismissed by love?

I know I am a failure.
As I cannot, for one second,
forget these minor technicalities
theses irrelevant maybes.
They weigh down every kiss
every look and every smirk
Nestled in the back of my mind,
I cannot stop,
I cannot forget.
I cannot overlook society.
I can merely hope that you will have the
courage to do so enough for the both of us
to be happy.

I see how broken you've been
I can tell that you have fallen
Pieces of your heart are scattered
amongst the women that you've loved
and lost
And yet, here I am, with open arms
asking you to trust me
Let me pick up the pieces, I'm waiting for you
Just say the word, tell me you want it
you need it
I know you do, I can see it in your cracked smile
Those eyes are oceans of stories that I am
dying to hear, I'm dying to care
So I will wait.
I can wait until the next one walks away,
as did the one before and the one before
and I will watch as they walk all over your
fragile heart.
Give yourself to me and I promise not to leave
I want to be your queen and I want to see you shine
brighter than any moon they'll ever see,
you will rise and you will blossom
and I will love you
and I will love you
and I will love you.
So please,
just let me love you.

We are all flowers
of different kinds
We water ourselves
with love and sunshine
But the saddest people
are tired and wilted
and who would water
a damaged flower?
I must be insane
for believing in you,
convincing myself,
thinking you'd stay.

apologizing for the hint of cigarette on your breath,
I smile and inhale your fumes
teasing my lips with the subtle taste of your neck
kiss me harder
the corners of your mouth are so alluring
I can't help but to stare
grip my hair as my neck tilts back
kiss me all over
close your eyes and give me your body
take mine and make it yours
running your fingers through my hair
kiss me slowly
