To be the reason you breathe

Your every thought
Your every dream
Your purpose in life
Would be the reason I breathe

To be what makes you believe

Your reason for living
Your reason for smiling
Your motivation for existing
Would be what makes me believe

To be the one you depend on

Your rock when you need to lean
Your shoulder when you need to cry
Your soft place to land, when life's too hard
Would be the only thing I could depend on

To be the one who helps you feel strong

Your innocence when it doesn't belong
Your heart when yours breaks in two
Your soul when it's shattered too
Would be what makes me feel strong


**and of all these things
To breathe and believe
To depend on, to feel strong
I only need you
To feel that I belong
I love you
             The way
       the sun
Loves
          the moon

Never together

       At a distance

              Always and
 *
forever

It's been two months
Can you believe it?
Two months since
I told you how I felt
And you told me how you

didn't

"I just love being your
Best friend"
Is what you mustered to say.
But how can I be
"Just friends"
With someone whom
I want to pull in close at night
When it gets too cold
With someone whom
I want to wake up before
So I can see your marbled eyes
When I kiss your lips awake

It has been two months
Eight weeks
61 days
1464 hours
87840 minutes
5270400 seconds
And I'm still here
Smashing my fists
In closed bathroom stalls
In the back of cheap bars

maybe the pain in my knuckles will take away the pain in my chest

You managed to crawl
Into every crevice
And shatter every piece of hope I had
Left in me
You are the one who
Broke me
But stayed at my side
To aid me from falling
And cutting my knees

It's been two months
Two months since
I told you how I feel
And you told me how you

*didn't
To Scott, whom I want to spend the ending days of my life with, as well as every day in between.

A moment of silence is all I wish
As I recall how we started to be like this
So please listen because I will tell
How I got a friend whom I knew well

After she became a friend of mine
I knew we could get along all the time
It was funny how he understood each other
And it’s a bit crazy how we complement one another

A simple conversation is all we started
And then we share a little bit of our secret
The truth is I'm proud to say
We have come a long, long way.

Our friendship had apparently grown
Just like a plant that we had own
I’m thankful it was not too late,
The friendship we had was worth to wait

I never thought we'd be friends like this,
A lifetime experience that I will cherish
I'm blessed things have turned out this way
I thank God I have a friend like you everyday.
What happened to us
o'er the course of time?
We've yet to discuss
at least this one time.

You had me thinking
"We are forever."
My heart was racing,
but fate said never.

You left me sighing,
"Cruel was our end."
You weren't lying
when you said

we were just


*friends.
this poem was inspired by these lyrics:
i'm sorry. believe me. i love you, but not in that way.

Te gustaria acostarte a mi lado, y quedate la noche, tal vez?
Como amigos, y nada mas, obviamente.
Mi corazon es mi propio, pero...
puedo prestartelo por una noche, si lo deceas.

Quieres acostarte a mi lado?
Me gustaria mas de lo que puedas saber...
Puedo prestarte mis labios, y yo reciprocaria.
Nuestros latiodos sincronizados, y nuestras pieles relucientes.
Tu me bésarias apasionadamente,

Y quedate la noche, tal vez?
Como amigos, y nada mas, obviamente...
My Spanish is ****, so some of this may be a little bit off, but I gave it my best attempt. Feel free to correct me.

It is supposed to say:
Would you like to lie down beside me, and stay the night, perhaps?
As friends, and nothing more, obviously.
My heart is my own, but...
you may borrow it for the night, if you wish.

Would you like to lie down beside me?
I would like it more than you could know...
You could borrow my lips, and I'd reciprocate,
our heartbeats synchronizing and our skin glistening.
You would kiss me passionately,

and maybe stay the night, perhaps?
As friends, and nothing more, obviously...

She picks up her glass
Puts it back down
Listening to the sound
Of his comfortable breathing

He leans over, a smile
Confident and clean
‘It has been a while,
You should go, you should sleep’

Looks away, just in time
To miss her hesitation
She stands up, looks around
For a subject for conversation

‘I had fun, tonight’
His back doesn’t answer
Nor does it see
The tear falling down

She wipes it away
With her expectations
And follows him down
The path of no return

‘I’ll see you around’
While he reaches the front door
She checks her step
Feels his warmth when she passes

‘Text me when you’re home safe’
His deep but careless voice
A gleam of hope looks back to see
Just how he closes the door

And to the fading drums of
His receding footsteps
She sinks unto the sidewalk
Whispers ‘You are my home safe’

You say you love me
Then set me free!

If you could stop bleeding
Do you not here me pleading?

You lie when you say forever
Because you don't want us to be together

But yet you claim to love me
Without ever wanting me to see
My Dearest little red had fallen into old habits and is breaking my heart one word at a time.

i sometimes think that my bones might break trying to support you
trying to hold on to something that you and I both know will never work
trying to convince you to not do the things I do
trying to dig my way through the abyss of neglect and unrecognized feelings
i often wish my hands were tied to balloons so they would be too far away to touch you
but that still wouldn't stop me
somehow your sharp words would send me back to you
nothing in this world has made me feel this way
i want to know what you mean when you tell me you love me
and why you want me to say it back
you stop yourself from feeling
so you tell me we're just friends
but
FRIENDS DON'T TOUCH EACH OTHER THE WAY WE DO.
I NEVER KNOW WHAT THE **** WE ARE BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW HARD WE TRY, WE COME BACK TO EACH OTHER.
my hands are shaking and I can't breathe
everyday I feel less like a buddy and more like a ****

She is confused about a lot of things
those things include a guy like him
There is this song she always sings
a song that tells her real feelings

He is good at denying
and she's an expert at hiding
Both of them, afraid to confess
but it doesn't make their feelings less

Eye contact is always met
and they say its part of "being friends"
mixed signals are always sent
they both wonder, is this how everything will end?

She's very tired to find a meaning
to every move he is making
He is now thinking, "what is she feeling?"
but all they want, is just a happy ending

I made this poem for my friends, Jv and Maden. Guys please, get your **** together.
