You fell in love with a poet, dont'cha know?
Landing on their words after stubbing your toe
They stole your heart with witty rhymes
and now you're theirs ‘til the end of time.
Those romantic lies will keep you close
while they’re showing everyone how they "love them the most,”
and when you find out pretty words don't equal love,
I hope the realization gives you a shove.

Under the bed
I leave each mistake
and I think about them
as I lie awake

A leaf in a stream,
I wait for you to stop me.
To end my journey.

Like winter flowers,
we embrace the bitter frost
and freeze over time.

Ink
Clean and well thought out
staining paper forever
ruined by a smudge

I didn’t like them.
They saw beautiful people,
not beautiful thoughts.

Most don't get it,
they don't understand.
They use malice and spite
instead of holding your hand.
Don't  dread it too much,
think of a better way.
They're just stupid people
influenced by a stupid today.
Blinded by want,
fueled by approval.
That doesn't make the things they say
any less brutal.
Why should you care what they think?
Why should you care who they are?
If you're nothing to them
they won't care about your scars.
Live life for you,
because thats all that matters.
If you can make yourself happy
you'll climb a thousand more ladders.
Some fun with rhyming
