i sit by the window watching the sun
go down into the horizon, tasting his tongue
on my breath, sweet and sickening like
fruit pastilles or a persimmon, homelike

it reminds me of my future with him
it reminds me of my past without him
all those years wasted not knowing
my love would meet me in that

dead end old school, where hate is bred
and stupidity is taught in what students read
they don’t know anything about life
about love, religion, repentance, longing

for his eyes, his speckled face glistening
in the late-afternoon sunlight listening
to my ramblings about this or that
sometimes his finger pit-pats

on the desk where i first found myself
a sea of endless pain and anguish rescued
by my foolish love, another pointless beckoning
quenched by lack of reckoning

i sit by my window
waiting for him

I remember my first time meeting you. You had long red hair and kind eyes, the kind I could get lost in. And, God, I couldn’t stop smiling. You said your name was Mary. Soft freckled face and withered hands. I was so curious, filled with naive wonder. You told me you loved oranges, and I think I started to love them almost as much as I love you. But then things started to change. Burning passion was now a fake plastic sorta love. Y’know I thought I could be different. I thought If i just limited myself and controlled it I’d be okay. Now look at me. It’s starting to hit me that I never really had any control. No. It wasn’t until I was scraping blood off my fingernails that I realized I couldn’t stop, but by then it was too late. I started doing things I never thought myself capable of, vile, monstrous acts. I fell farther… and farther… And then I was all alone, just a pile of shaky limbs and crooked joints. I’ve done a lot of bad things. I am, by no means, a good person. But, Mary, my dear, I promise I’m not a monster.
I wrote this for a class. It's based on Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, particularly Mary Reilly and Jekyll's romance.
What would I do,
Back then with you,
I wish I could undo.

Replaying in my mind what could have been,
your song,
your kiss,
and everything else that I missed,
what we have been through since.

I learned how to love myself,
and even though I miss you,
we both deserve to find that truth,
to have someone say I love you.
"If you truly love them, let them go"
But what about me?
I did the right thing
Yet here I am, hurting and crying
Wondering when it will stop
They say that time heals all wounds
But so much time has passed
And the wounds are still there
I did the right thing
But I am punished for it
I let them go so they can be happy
But they left the pain with me
In the kingdom of Love, you a jewel,
On the crown, with grace you dazzle.
Whoever possesses you is adorned as king,
So am I In the world of hearts, I joyfully sing.

My love for you, forever eternal,
Every morning and night, it shall prevail.
As long as the sun shines in the sky,
My devotion for you shall never die.

In this kingdom where love rules,
You, my dear, a the rarest among jewels.
With you, every moment, a cherished tale,
For eternity through my love, I shall tell.

Journeying through the whole world,
spreading love's grace with your hand, held.
A brightest light you'll always be,
My heart's true ruler, holding its key.

All my life, I've known pain,
Each, a thorn in memory, never will drain.
I've tasted poison, its bitter sting,
Yet your hurt is more than everything.

Various tests and accidents, I've fought,
A story in each scar, lessons it taught.
Without your presence, a void so deep,
A wound that lasts, refuses to sleep.

I've bid farewell to loved ones dear,
Their absence is sorrow, a silent fear.
Yet your departure cuts like a knife,
A pain unmatched in this life.

The grief, the hurt, pain in blood,
Each drop is a proof, like a river it sped.
Regret, a shadow will haunts my days,
In the reflection of your absence, it still stays.

Through the Storm I stand, broken and bruised,
In the wake of love, I will be accused.
Your absence, a wound that won't heal,
A pain so sharp and heavy, I shall conceal.

From the tears of my heart, boom,
A seed of love started to bloom.
It never grew to become a tree,
The seed of love, with spirit will be.

You made me feel the taste of life,
Bittersweet experience, yet no grief.
Like heartbeat, within I will retain,
As long as blood flows in my vein.

Even if you don't permit,
In you I will, forever inhabit.
In your subconscious mind,
Unable for the world to find.

You shall flow a like river in me,
In every part of my body eternally.
Cautiously I will take care,
Loving all the way, till my end is near.

In this world my ADORATION for her is extreme,
BEGUILING and CHARISMATIC she is in my dream.
DAUNTLESS she stands, ENCHANTING with grace,
Wondrously FABULOUS in her presence.

GORGEOUS she is for I have a special place,
In my HEART, her image I will forever trace.
She is an INSPIRATION in my JOYFUL rhyme
Her KINDNESS is music in time.

LUCIOUS in spirit, MAGNIFICENT in sight,
Her NOBILITY shines during my darkest nights.
An OASIS of comfort and she is my PRECIOUS,
a queen of my world, with pure RADIANCE.

SAGACIOUS in her wisdom and in care, she is TENDER,
UNIQUE in all ways, VIVACIOUS in her spirit.
She is my only WONDER and XENODOCHIAL IN HEART,
For her alone I YEARN as she ignites my ZEAL.

In every moment, I want her feel,
She is the core of my love, a real deal.
All compilation of her virtues align,
As she is my A - Z and forever will remain.

I wanted to build a bridge, you chose a wall,
In the deepest of your being, I still fell.
The farther I push you from my sight,
The closer you draw in the stillness of night.

In my quest to connect, roads crumbled,
Every effort was defeated, my hopes humbled.
I dared to challenge the world's cruel might,
But you, my love, kept me from the fight.

Despite the hurdles, my love for you soars,
Even In silence of your hearts closed doors.
For even as distance tears me apart,
You dwell deep within my heart.

So let the world rage, barriers stand tall,
In the shelter of your love, I stand, never will fall.
Though fate may conspire to keep me apart,
You are forever engraved in the depths of my heart...

In the battlefield of love, I'd fight as a king,
Through every test and difficulties, my heart will sing.
In the wild fight, I'll stand with all my might,
Defending my love, in the darkest of night.

Every war, I'll face without fear,
For your love is worth the struggle, my dear,
Compared to the crowd, I may be small,
In your love's power, I'll stand tall.

For love conquers all, in its endless grace,
It's the victory in every war, every race.
So even when it seems like I'm losing,
In the battle of love, bravery, my heart will bring.

No weapons nor army can defeat it,
For love is the conqueror of every heart.
So in the war of emotions, I proudly stand,
Knowing that love will forever command.
