He walks the dark times alone
He never perfect despite his efforts.

i've always tried

tried to be THAT girl

the girl who has everything together

it didnt work out
Retrospect.
The dangerous game,
I play for pinks,
With sanity in the stakes.

Royal Flush,
My house is full of jokers.

Brokered a deal with the thoughts who spoke whisper'd cutthroat scenes.

Intraspect:
Everyone is perfect.
Except for me.

bodies fit together
and sometimes they don't.
cupid struck me with a billion arrows,
each with precision and force.
i guess he was so focused on me he forgot about you.

you coursed through my veins,
ran laps in my head.
you filled me to the brim.
my love for you ran deep
but the feeling was not mutual.
you see, when he tells you he cares,
he means only when it is convenient for him.

listen when i say:
one-sided love
is not really love at all,
simply adoration.
and i know now that i deserved better
than anything you had to offer.
you taught me to not beg for what does not want to stay.

bodies fit together
and sometimes they don't
and although i promised myself i'd get over it,
i still like to think that it hurt you too

I thought my life was complete,
and there would be no more surprises to come,
but then I was shown a new delight,
when you entered my life,
and shown through with your luminescence,
a gem that washed upon my shores,
to sparkle into my very essence.
I couldn't fathom that there'd be someone so similar to me,
and have the pieces I didn't even realize I was missing.
The thing I'm looking forward to,
is to just see you once again,
to hear your voice,
touch your skin,
and just be close to you,
to get another look at the glint that you've given my life.
The worst part of my day is when you aren't there,
because the anticipation starts to build,
for when we'll be together again,
but it makes me want you more,
all just to get another chance to polish the jewel that you are.
Although you are beautiful,
the best thing about you,
is the conversations we have,
that can last all night,
with your ability to shine into me.
You're so kind and caring,
that anyone would be lucky to know you,
but to know I'm the one that you want,
and having the attention with a perfectly cut jewel,
makes me feel like the most blessed being in all of creation.
Sometimes it feels like the distance between us is great,
but you consistently know how to make me feel close to you,
and get me ready for the next time I'll have the chance for your sweet embrace.
My favorite thing is to make you blush,
and I'm waiting patiently to the next time I get the chance,
because I know I'll have you there to do it again,
with the most precious of stones.

The last time I saw you
the word "perfection" will never be enough to describe you
your light brown hair
the way you look
as if the moon shines its way back to you
words can never fit in my hand
as metaphors can never be enough to kiss you
and poetry cannot completely describe how I miss you
but I'll write this while im drunk
to let you know
drunl thoughts always leads me to you
always you

She looked in the mirror
and couldn't help but fear
her own reflection.

If just then, what if the reflection disappeared?
We would have nothing to fear,
or would we?

If reflection was not here,
no more of a seer,
what would we believe?

But if there were no insight,
we won't know we are made just right,
there is not one imperfection.

Waking up in a world,
with a picture of prefect.
Thinking how it should be,
but it's never was.
Putting up a smile,
Making loves one relief.
Telling them a lie to hide,
cause you love them.
The fact is you are just afraid.
