#iloveyou
Dear you, I wonder who you are, But somewhere in this planet of eight billion, nearly nine, You exist. And I'll live, waiting For the time I'll see you and You'll see me, like no one has So far Like phases of the moon, We'll connect And I'll give you my heart And you'll give me yours. Willingly. Not forced or out of pity. My heart longs hard each day I dream of you at night Never truly seeing your face Just the intentions and motions And that is all I need I won't look at the mirror At your " shattered" reflection Because I'll have my own to stare at I'll tell you the three words I can't say to myself " I" for the me you saw, " I" for the you I want " love " for the love with which you loved me " love" for the love I hope to show you And " you", " you" for the you you might choose over and over again " you" for the you I'll choose and keep. All to myself. When will our roads cross? I don't know but I'll see you tonight Through intentions and motions Tonight in my dreams

A Letter/ Poem To Future You
Father I love you Whether you are exhausted you act like you are fine and smile at me Even you are vexed you care about me Though you are stressed you work for us and make us happy Whatever I dream you make it possible The words you tell is a message The way you live is the way I love to live I'll make you proud My DAD My HERO __VK

Father I Love You...
‘’my same my reflection my similar tied together in the womb even though i came many years after holding hands as we cross the road to steal candy from the gas station giggling at night and trying to stay quiet as we tickle eachother with our tiny feet our shoulders our eyelashes our voices once so similar once my reflection and once the same you’re older now and we have grown apart but the ties that lie underground connect us and keep us family even if we’re continents away.’’

Love across a spell, a four-letter word made from four fragile parts we spend lifetimes trying to understand. L — Looks fade; beauty is only the doorway, never the home. O — Obviously, we want someone with good looks, pleasing the eye at first. V — Versus the heart; what are good looks without a good heart to hold them? E — Every part of us; the flaws, fears, failures, doubts— are all part of becoming something, worthy of saying: “I love you.”

Four Letters, Four Parts
“you tap my keys and create a beautiful melody as your foot presses gently over mine; it makes me blush you fix my strings when i am a little out of tune; you’re never annoyed to help me out you gloss my wooden casing with a smooth finish to display all of my beauty but you grow bored of me after a while and i am left to dust in an old storage closet with my strings thinning and my gloss peeling i barely remember the last song i sang to you because i never expected you to simply just leave.”

“my hands my eyes my ears every motion that i use to pleasure my body are motions that i always deeply regret the hands that circle my bud until i am writhing in an unfathomable amount of pain the eyes that are glued to the screen full of people paid too little in positions i can’t even imagine myself being in and the ears that listen for every creek in the floorboard as i bury myself in the layers of self hatred disguised as an ****** i’m fed fantasies that would disappoint every single human in my devastatingly horrific life i’d sleep in your bed but my mind would only ever replay the videos i’ve watched over and over and over so i'm sorry but it would **** me to imagine it all over again."

Roses are red Violets are blue Sunshine pulses down Like my heart beats for you Red like my love Blue like your absence Pulsing like a heartbeat That I would give for you in an instant Roses are red Violets are blue I wonder if you notice me Like I notice you Red like my blood Which for you I’d gladly bleed Blue like my tears Which for you I’d cry freely Roses are red Violets are blue I hope you love me Because I love you

Roses Are Red
My heart is a drum Beating for you Mostly I’m numb But I still see you You may be blind to me Another girl you hardly know But while I think you do see I know you won’t let it show I don’t know if you feel the same If this true love If it is, I’ll wait and wait If it’s not, I’ll move on But for now it’s real What I’m feeling is true And it’s the way I’ll feel Until and even when it’s through

‘’these thoughts constantly infect my ****** mind like a plague that infiltrates the body and forces it to ***** its innards or possibly a virus that leaves your face mangled with rashes and blisters the thoughts are violent, cruel, and unforgiving in the eyes of our lord and savior i do not wish to picture innocent souls in such ravaged positions nor do i wish to imagine what their insides smell like i want to curl up on my bed and hide beneath the covers until i am no longer a monster are these things that i truly believe? are they meant to expose my true nature? i’m disgusting.’’

‘’a suffocating tightness wraps around my body as i stand inside a sea of people i **** in a deep breath and keep it there to surpress the fatness that i was born with you call my name you give me a smile you love me so deeply yet the attention i’m given will never exceed the amount of guilt i feel staring down at the scale 165.4 165.5 166.3 the number goes up as the skin on my arms thins from the scars i cut into myself because i think i deserve it i stare at myself in the mirror; cringing at every roll on my stomach, every pimple on my nose, the gross stretch marks that adorn my hips . . . i’m so sick of this body i’m tired i’m so unsatisfied.’’

Growing up, I was a ghost—a ghost full of love camouflaged under pain, the love of bearing what no child should ever be condemned to. Unfortunately, my ghost was finally revealed, with my body barely breathing. Not physically, mentally. My body harbored scars — physical and emotional; each throb, a dagger: Incinerating, crucifying, inexorable. Someone asked me, “Are you self-harming?’’ My heart ripped open. The veins slowly stopped carrying life liquid from the heart’s engine. The color drained from my skin. Every inhale, glass-sharp. Am I going to die? I’m only fifteen; I haven’t even.. My fists rose into shadows, haunted by wraiths, conjured by memories. Blood unraveled through my fractured veins; my energy collapsed over itself with every attack, until I felt paralyzed. — the darkness obliterating my final flicker of light. Voices collided – hers, my inner child, screams, cries for help, tangled in nostalgia, aging faster than time itself. Trauma ages you beyond what years could ever measure. The child within me, silenced by my throat, shackled with terror, The cycle I was born to fracture, rising with strength. Maybe that dream corrupted into a nightmare, etched into reality. Yet in another life, I will reclaim my voice, seize the light stolen from me; Finally, the darkness will tremble — seeing the victim become the ruler.

Counting scars
I wish you could see me the way you used to, back when your eyes softened just by looking at me, when your hands found mine without hesitation, when I was everything you ever wanted. You used to hold me like I mattered, like losing me wasn’t even a possibility. Now I look at you and I don’t recognise who you’ve become. Cold in ways I never knew you could be, distant in ways I can’t seem to reach, like the person I loved has been replaced by someone who doesn’t love me at all. And maybe the truth is I don’t recognise myself either, not without you. Maybe that’s why I stay, why I keep holding on even when it hurts, because I don’t know who I am if I let you go. I feel alone, even when you’re right here, like I’m grieving something that hasn’t fully gone yet. I don’t know what’s worse, you leaving or you staying like this. Why can’t you see me? See how much I want you, how much I’m trying to keep this alive with nothing left to hold onto. I want us back, the laughter, the warmth, the way love felt easy instead of something I have to beg for. I want you to fall in love with me again, to choose me the way you used to. But wanting it doesn’t make it real. And still, some part of me whispers the same quiet plea I can’t seem to let go of— please, come back to me.

Still here / still alone
I love you In a way that would worry a therapist The kind of love that would thrill a poet Love that would crumble kingdoms I love you In a way that would worry a therapist When I speak of you All others hear is me boasting A speech worth toasting Some say its smothering Toxic love bombing Manipulation rooting Blooming in too vulnerability Boarding on codependency I love you The kind of love that would thrill a poet Words can never describe Rhymes are the closest Doing my best to do it all justice How I want it to be just us Able to dance in the kitchen See a sun set with Knowing you'll be by my side When the sun rises Worlds apart With you it’s a fresh start I love you Love that would crumble kingdoms I would burn empires Just to see your eyes light up Ignite a spark inside Bringing you to the dark side Like an executioner with his blade I get the final say This is no play Bodies lay scattered Peoples minds shattered Heads roll While me and you walk away Never to stray Ready to see the next crown fall

‘’my windows spurt open and sway the soft curtains aside to let the sun peek through the breeze that sneaks into my bedroom showers me with its sweet whispers; slipping off my silky nightgown for its gaze i shiver in this newfound nakedness yet i am comforted by the soft lips on my neck the breeze rides along my thighs and up my chest until it reaches my face; darting itself out to catch the lips it has been searching for i welcome him like how i do every morning.’’

And if you call my name, I'll be there even if it takes me years. You don't understand what you mean to me So why don't you understand, What do you mean, and don't you mean? I will always be there, even if it's between heaven and hell Even if you don't see me, I'll be there I love you more than anything, What does 'I love you' even mean It's a word, not a cure, words only words. So why do people say it? It's more than words for some people its more than words for me! I love you and I always will more than my life, more than myself. And you might not understand what it means to me But it means a lot more than anything And I don't say it for fun I love you, and I'll always be there I want to be a person you can come to a person you can laugh with, a person you can cry to So you don't have to leave crying when I go laugh, laugh at all the good times we had, remember me when I'm gone, I love you so much. So call me, I'll come I'll never leave you. I don't care how long it takes. I will never leave, even if you hate me Or if you want me to go i wont i love you so much more than you'll even know

I want you. ****** I want you and I hate it. Wait.. that’s not right. It’s too simple. Too bland and boring. Not like you in the slightest. I yearn for you. With a burn so fierce Hell couldn’t fathom the flames.

‘’for two butterflies to love, they must dance for one another until the night chimes and their hearts are full it is a sacred, beautiful, and intricately vulnerable ritual; some may say that it is the nature of butterflies to dance, to flutter and to fly free this dance is chosen this dance is decided this dance is given and never simply taken but for me? my dance was not chosen it was demanded of me my wings were ripped apart whilst the dance forced upon me was terrifying and ugly i eventually fell into the depths of the forest as i was ravaged upon by a butterfly too inconsiderate to realize the damage he had done i do not wish to dance anymore because all i remember is the waltz i never wanted to take.’’

“music and melodies it rings in my ears and deafens the thoughts that eat at my brain these sweet euphonies play to slow my heart and melt away the frost clinging to it it’s kinda the whole reason i’m still here; it’s why my heart is still beating; why it’s no longer burdened with the cold so please, once i’m buried under the snow; once my name is no longer uttered; and once my voice can no longer sing play a song maybe it’d let God know where to find me.”
