You were my sunshine, I loved to feel your warmth on my back, and your beauty radiating upon my face. Sunshine is good for you, in small quantities. I didn’t mind the sunburns I’d get and would take all the vitamin D I could get. Prolonged exposure to sun can cause sunburns, premature skin aging (though that may have been attributed to the cigarettes you made me addicted to) skin damage (from the knives you’d drag across my body, you were always a sadist) and skin cancer. You were a tumor, slowly killing me, and I had to cut you away from me. I’m in remission, I pray to God that you don’t make me go through this again, no amount of treatment, whether it be cannabis or prayer could save me a second time. I am vitamin D deficient.

You have my heart, but you aren’t here. She has my body, because you aren’t here.

long distance
You promised me forever, forever you were mine. As long as long as the stars would shine. How was I supposed to know forever could burn out so soon.

Forever.
thank you for breaking my heart into pieces, you taught me how to put myself back together. thank you for not loving me, you taught me to love myself. thank you for leaving me, you taught me how to find myself.

Self destruction
just call me, just once more, let me hear your voice and the way your haughty breathing drifts over the speaker. Please let me listen to you, let me listen to you, let me listen. Please tell me all the answers ive been begging for tell me how it all makes sense. Tell me what happened, tell me what you did, why you did it, tell me how you could have done it.

Broken Promises
Give me a reason not to love you. Give me a reason to not love the way your eyes sparkle on a sunny day. The way your hair drifts in the breeze. The way the corners of your mouth start to curve at the start of a stupid pun. How i feel at rest when listening to your breathing. How your nose wrinkles as that laugh of yours passes through my very soul. I never thought i could fall for a shooting star. Give me a reason not to love you.

reminders
I will always be in love with you You are my only one Like Icarus to the sun I got ahead of myself and was consumed My love has been engulfed in flames a multitude of things are to blame a lack of communication being on separate sides of the nation broken pieces trying to fit together although my heart is light as a feather it feels as though my chest consists of lead

ode to a lost lover
You said to write you poetry, and that you'd be mine. Looks like someone beat me to it.

Poetry Wins Hearts
I wish I could be his lips, for they are embracing yours, not mine, tonight. I ache to be his arms, to hold you tightly and never to let go feeling your warmth and softness. I crave to be his eyes to look at you once more, soaking in your ethereal radiance. I long to be his chest, to have you rest your head upon me listening to my heartbeat and soft breathing, falling asleep upon me. I yearn to be his ears, to hear your soft and poetic words as they dance around in my head once again in that special way that only you can create. I Miss Loving You.

Morbid Imagery
not even her with the candy coated lips and the spark from her fingertips could take my mind off you not her with the lungs full of smoke as she takes another **** could take my mind off you not her with the plastered on frown and the "dark black" crown could take my mind off you not her with the shiny blade and the chrome handle could take my mind off you not her with the orange filter and the smooth draw could take my mind off you only her with the sensitive trigger and the steel barrel could take my mind off you and away from me

Mind on you.
Pretty boy's gone Since yesterday, done with flirtin and acting gay Bad Boy's back with the cigarette lighter and the twenty sack of **** to get a little higher Ever since they went away, well pretty boy's been full of dismay heartbroken and lonesome he roams the town looking for some ***** in which he'll drown, broken and beaten mean and old on the street is where he sold his pills and **** his cid and lean oh Pretty boy, sure got mean. All the pretty girls tried to fix him But he never could forget about the one that tricked him. the one who stomped on his heart like a cigarette **** extinguishing the warmth within him like a punch to the gut his eyes, once warm and inviting are cold and dark full of thunder and a spark of lightning

See Me
For some a heartbreak is worth a fifth of ***** Others, a pint of ice cream. For me, it was lots of **** last time. But, you, you're a different kind of hurt. The one that keeps you up at night. The kind of heartbreak you can feel in your lungs. Each breath becoming increasingly more difficult to take. You are the kind of heartbreak that you never truly get over. You are the kind of heartbreak that feels like it can only ever healed with a bullet.

How much is a heartbreak worth?
If freckles were angel kisses would you give me more than i have? if bruises were faerie kisses would you make me a multicolored green blue and purple mess? would you do me the favor of showing me how much you love me with the hurt? let me know i mean something to you with each mark i crave the pain and the trauma please give it to me let me feel normal again help me to feel anything at all
