I tie myself to you
But the ropes begin to burn our skin…
I hold you above the water,
But my grip begins to slip…
I try to save you from you’re a demons,
Though I’m a demon myself.
My meaningful words,
That I so often come across
Of I love you
Begin an avalanche
Of distress and misery.
I hurt everyone

Darkness slowly invades my body,

Ridding me of all emotion;

Blinding and deafening me,

It’s being as vast as an ocean.

Screaming for mercy,

But my pleas suffocated;

The darkness becomes a part of me,

Its power I overestimated.

Panic finally sets in,

With nothing visible in sight;

All I pray for is redemption,

From darkness’ unending might.

I float away gracefully,

Dark waters welcoming my soul;

The flame within now purged,

In a darkness as black as kohl.

You give me the letter from her
and as I read the words
only meant for your eyes,
I realize
I've willingly been giving in to your eloquently delivered lies
I realize
I'm just a victim of your intoxicating
charisma and you know
how I hate
the
role of a

there's a certain beauty in the unknown.
a certain beauty in not knowing if
you're as crazy about me as i am about you.

there's a certain beauty in knowing that
my heart is ******* in such a knot that even
a seasoned boy-scout would cringe at the sight of it,
all because of you.

so many nights i have spent looking at the moon,
hoping you were doing the same.

and oh-so many nights have been spent swallowing
pills with various numbers inscribed on their very surface,
just to try to forget about your absence.

but the thing about the unknown and drugs and the moon
is that none of them can even come close to the beauty
that you possess.
I know you're out with your friends
And you won't see this for a while
But I'm at my wits end my dear
Longing to see your smile

I hope these verses still give you
Butterflies like they used to
Right now I feel so blind
Because I can't picture life
Without you
And the color blue that
Your eyes radiate
That Belongs on every artists canvas

I need you dear
Don't you soon forget
With you I can face my fears
Live life with no regret

I figured I'd write you this
Because I know things are rough
I'll leave you poems and a gentle kiss
To fill the hole back up

You're my world baby doll
Wouldn't trade you for anything
If you ever feel alone
Just remember
You're my everything.

I love you. <3
Wrote this for my girl while she's out having fun. I miss her dearly.

I stumbled into a world
where good vs. evil was routine;
where cards were alive, cats talked,
and a strange man asked me to tea.

I was young and forgetful,
the memory faded away
then one day I fell again
chasing a rabbit with a familiar face.

I was confused
my destiny once again unclear
a peculiar catterpillar
told me what was to appear.

If I shall fall again,
and be given another test
I hope the question is
"how is a raven like a writing desk?"
