you yourself are an affliction
my affliction
killing me from the inside
devouring my soul as you tease me
do you love me?
do you care?
I observe your stare
from across the room
making me wonder
if I am just another
of your pawns
in this absurd chess game
playing my heart like a harp
a truly beautiful sound
to those who don’t realize
the strings are not playing intentionally
just trembling at the harpist’s every touch
making music from its pain
cloaking its suffering in beauty
because in a way
suffering is beautiful

When your hands leave mine in the late hours of the night,
I feel your touch, the scar on your palm, imprinting itself to mine,
My hands shake with the lust to hold yours.
When you leave my side,
My bundle of blankets,
The cold that fills your place
Never seemed so chilling until now.
When you stand ten feet from me,
Grinning like a fool,
I do not realize
That I am returning this gesture,
With rosy cheeks and a thudding heart
Thudding so hard I begin to wonder
If I've a medical issue I need to address with my doctor
Lovesick is a term I've only connected to heartbreak
But I feel my blood run smoother,
My breaths quicken,
My hands shake.
I do not know if it is your gaze sending chills down my spine,
Or your breath on my neck,
But all I can confirm is
You have an affect on me.
You're infecting me with a drug and my addiction is growing.
Need not worry, I've healthy addictions,
Despite the contradictions,
And you, my dear, are one.
Old. ******. sigh.

A year, a lie.
Constant smiles, bad times.
What could have been avoided,
is now ******* with my mind.

Lost in lost emotions,
Brought on previous devotions,
These are the thoughts that haunt my mind,
And linger like his taste in thine.

Sleeping hasn't been easy,
I'm run down and broken.
Lost in these thoughts,
brought on by these envious emotions.

So while you lay to try and sleep,
remember the boy your trying to keep.
The boy who has lost everything,
his trust and respect in thee.

Spell it out g-o-o-d b-y-e
Today you said goodbye.
Today I refused to cry.
When you said you loved me you told me a lie.
Now we are apart
And I don’t feel anything in my heart
Just an insane numbness.
That feels really good in its finesse
I don’t know if that made sense
So let me tell you in simple words.
I will even make different phrases- not that you deserve it.
Im done.
Im over you
You aren’t my heart
You aren’t my number one
I don’t love you
My heart is not broken
I will never love you again
I will never cry over you
I will never need you
I will never want you
In other words
Good bye

His wings were broken in his descent from Heaven.
Maybe Fallen, but forever an Angel.
Searching for his Grace, to be restored to his Heavenly post.
He chose the love of one over most.
I see the flames burning in his eyes
That ethereal fire.
I feel the singe of his kiss
Every time my lips meet his.
Maybe one day he will return
But for now, he is my Broken Angel.
I wrote this for my boyfriend, when he was going through some hard times.

***** imperfect love.
Let me lick my wounds to help them heal, let my push aside my insecurity and drink down a potion of evaluation and logic to settle my stomach.
Let me learn to bite my tongue when need be.
Words uttered cannot be rewound.
They linger, they penetrate through even after the apology is heard.
I need to value myself first in order to value us.
past relationship habits, its residue on a new realtionship

We'll fall in love
with a thin layer of smoke
between our lips
and a soft mixture of beer
and blood
running through our veins

We'll fall in love
in the dim lighting
where your eyes will hold mine
for longer
just in case
I can't see you perfectly

We'll fall in love
every night we spend together
and every morning
we'll duct tape our feelings
to the dusty floor
beneath your bed
until we pretend to find them
at the bottom of the stairs
the following weekend

We'll fall in love
without ever doing so
because that would be
stubbornly revolutionary
just as we are

I promise to always lift you up
When you are feeling down
I promise to wipe your tears
When you feel you need to cry
I promise to keep you smiling
To show off that cute smile you have
I promise to be your strength
Whenever you fall weak
I promise to be your voice,
When you can't find the words
I promise to be your eyes
When you cannot see
I promise to be your ears
When you cannot hear
I promise to always tell you what's real
When you want to hear the truth
I promise to be your dream catcher
To chase away you're every fear
I promise to be your smile
When you're frowning
I promise to always cheer you up
When you are down and blue
I promise to give you faith
When you are feeling insecure
I promise to keep you sturdy
When you are feeling unsafe
I promise to listen
When you need to talk
I promise to tell you no lies
Just what is true
I promise to always lend you my shoulder
For when you need to cry
I promise to always hold you
When you need someone
I promise to always care for you
Wherever you are I promise to always be there
I can't promise you the world
I can't promise you the sky
I can't promise you that we will never fight
I can't promise to never hurt you because i know i will unknowingly
But i promise i would never break your heart
And baby I promise that I will always love you more than anything with all my heart, no matter what happens or what we go through, baby I'll love you until the end of time!
That's my promise to you!!!

"Even a two hour absence of you is enough to make me break down crying wondering why you left
I'm anxiously awaiting a message from you but the phone screen remains as black as the night above
And it makes me wonder, scared shitless if the day comes when I no longer have you, and the phone screen remains message-less
days upon days
Because just these two hourss, and I'm already consumed with thought on why you're not texting me back
And today is the day I know I'm in too deep"

"As I walked inside the flood of memories came pouring down into the deep depths of my empty stomach
And my heart dropped down with them, when I first saw you
Feeble, exhausted, and glued to your bed
Throat so inflamed that barely any words were said
Wishing things were different, but there's nothing we can do
Besides sit and watch a movie together, inside the hospital room
When you caressed my hand, I felt it straight in my heart
Like a pathway to my happiness, you are the start
Our time was cut short, and I had to say goodbye
Our hands fell from our intertwine, to our sides as I looked you in the eyes for this last time
And said, 'bye'
But don't worry my love, I'll be back soon
And I promise I love you from the ground to the moon (and back)"
My boyfriend got mono for a month and was in ICU and almost died. I only got the chance to visit him once and it was about 30 minutes max.
