Do you know the excitement I feel when I see your name? When someone mentions you, it’s never the same. When I do something that reminds me of you, My heart starts racing before I even know what to do. Even the thought of you passing my mind, Leaves every calm I had behind. You want to see what excitement can do? My heart forgets how to beat normal when I think of you. It runs so fast, it feels insane, Just hearing your name does that again.

Excitement
You. You came to us, longing to start anew We let you in, like all wrecks do But not in too deep: Not to the point where you'd know about the strangers beneath, The black sheep. You got misguided towards the better part, the packs We weren't surprised After all, you were trained to do that It was only a matter of time before they advised you against us, Before you were baptised. But wouldn't you have wished to know, we were there: Clad in calm, I mirrored the snarl - And you and your beasts saw kin, not prey Until it was too late. You spent hours looking for black sheep amongst the herds, a break through But doesn't black blend beautifully with slate? We were                   a             m      o n g     s         t             you. And then you saw them: My people, my family, my friends And growled, whining for help Not knowing I'd aid them instead. But this wasn't enough of a break through (ours, not yours) We didn't have what we needed Didn't like the cards we were dealt So we stayed hidden all this time My boys, my girls and I And bid our time till the clock struck midnight Till we were free from your ties That's when the lights f l i c k e r e d Oh, what a silent soul What a blatant light What a piteous cause Turned to dynamite You thought you saw us? Well, now you do At the head of the forest They said we didn't belong to Best of all, we shook you By doing better that what they'd asserted they'd do And the rest have grown to love us More than they'd ever loved you.

'you’re the greatest love of my life', he said. age eighteen, wind in your hair, going 80 on the motorway, and you were in free fall whilst he was laying down roots. flash forward, and he was crying. branches swaying in the breeze. 'you’re the greatest heartbreak of my life', he said. and you felt a pang, a twinge, on your heartstrings whilst he lay his heart on his sleeve, your eyes dry, whilst his were weeping. flash back, to your hand in his, swinging in the stagnant air of summer, a light smile on your face, a burning intensity in his eyes. your laugh tinkled in the air, whilst he gripped your hand tighter. but it was hot, and your hand was sweaty, and your grip loosened, and your hand slipped out of his, and his smile fell. 'you’re the greatest loss of my life', he said over the phone, voice low and raw. and you blinked and felt nothing, whilst he claimed to feel everything. didn’t he see, how couldn’t he see, that you were nothing new? i guess he never knew you at all. to the present, to the now, your eyes catch his across a crowded room, a glimpse of the past, a snapshot of before before he drops his eyes, and he raises his hand, intertwined with another’s. you float over the room like a ghost and your ears pick up his words, -'she’s the greatest love of my life', he says, and he raises their hands, he kisses the bunched rope of fingers and palms, and she’s smiling, she’s beaming, and his eyes burn intensely, and he roots his hand in hers, and his heart shines out of his chest, and finally you understand his words. 'you are the love of my life.' it was wishful thinking, an affirmation thrown into the air, but the wind blew and it struck the wrong person, an actor who wasn’t up to play the role. because he was wrong. never the love of my life, and the words echo now, that I wasn’t the love of his, either. a breeze blew and hair flew across my eyes, and his laugh echoed across the space between us, and i smiled and my chest ached and my heart wept but he smiled back.

Like the clouds Running to be with the sun Little did it know That the very thing he desire will be his demise And on his journey to the West, On the pursuit of the light So little he know, That he'll be enveloped by The eerie darkness of the night Again It's hard to turn the page to a new page When our fav character is not there

No matter how brightly the stars shine They can never outshine the moon's silvery glow Yet no matter how long the moon shine, She'll never have her own light Under the silent veil of the night Echoed with the songs of the waves So freely as they flow Over this wilted love inside my grave Drunk from my own wine Aching for a tale that never intertwined

The glow of the moon
longing heart, a quiet ache for love that's real, that doesn't break in whispered dreams, in fleeting sights in stolen glances, in sleepless nights the world moves on, relentless, fast but i am tethered to the past to moments soft, to words unsaid to promises that time has fled i find you there, in every song in every place i don't belong a phantom touch, a fleeting kiss the kind of love that feels like this loml, the letters trace the air a name, a feeling, a word so rare you are the shadow, the light, the flame the longing that has no name and though the years may drift apart you are the echo in my heart the love i seek, the dream i crave a spark, a star, the heart i save loml, forever, fleeting, true a piece of me belongs to you

Do you remember, the sixth of December, when truth bled from your lips, cutting deeper than any silence could? After months of chasing shadows, you whispered love — only to bury it in the same breath. I gave you everything, everything they couldn’t see, couldn’t feel, couldn’t hold close without trembling. Yet still, they won — not because they were better, but because I am wrong. Because I am what you fear. You shouldn’t have asked me to scale the walls of your heart, brick by crumbling brick, only to slam the gates shut, leaving me outside, alone with my wounds and the taste of you. I don’t think I can hate you. I hate myself instead — for reaching, for trying, for drowning in a love that was never meant to save me. You gave me hope and took it back, left me hollow, a shell filled with echoes of what if. For a fleeting moment, you were the light I searched for, the answer to prayers whispered to a deaf sky. But you were never the love of my life. I taught you how to see the world, opened your eyes to its colors, its warmth, its endless possibility. I was the bridge between your darkness and the light you never knew. But in the end, I became just another shadow. You are the loss of my life, when we meet again, I’ll be the stranger, and your eyes will mean nothing. And now, the sixth of December is etched in my soul — not as the day I lost you, but the day I found the truth: some loves aren’t meant to be held, only mourned.

The Sixth of December
I badly want to lie about going back to him Because I wanted it to be you So so bad But guess what I went back to him While my heart my soul are on you I close my eyes just to spend time with you In my dreams I daydream everywhere i go Thinking you’re with me in this miserable life Im mad A lunatic But every once in a while I get to remind myself That you don’t like me I am dead to you I hear your voice saying those words On repeat You take me for granted You treat me far worse than your forgotten clothes Yet my heart still hopes of your return Wake up Stop Pathetic little girl I love you In a month I found you in the ocean of people But it wasn’t me you want to be found with I wonder how long would it take me To get out of this hyperfixation How fast could i unlove you Next month Will it be next year Will it be 44 seasons from now And i wonder How fast did you forget me Thinking i am still inlove with my ex Not knowing i only wanted you Patiently waiting For the day when I could finally hear My heart beating without you

i love you
In the realm of my heart, a love so pure, Resides a flame that forever endures. A tale of affection, woven with grace, I pen the verses of your timeless embrace. You are the one, my eternal desire, A muse that sets my soul afire. In your presence, my spirit takes flight, Boundless love, an everlasting light. Through seasons of life, we journeyed as one, In laughter and tears, our hearts were spun. Through every trial and moment of strife, You held my hand, the anchor of my life. Your smile, a beacon, igniting my day, Guiding me through the shadows that sway. Your touch, a solace, tender and true, An embrace that whispers, "I'll always be with you." Through the passage of time, our love remains, An unyielding force, amidst life's gains. No distance, nor obstacle, can sever this tie, For the person I love, forever will I. The depth of my devotion, unceasing and vast, A love unbounded, that will eternally last. Through the universe's tapestry above, You are the person I will never stop loving. In this life and beyond, our souls intertwine, A love so profound, divine and sublime. Through the ebb and flow of each passing day, My love for you, unwavering, will forever stay.

Joy Oh Joy how you come at me like the beach waves though. I'm tumbled on the the ground humbled all joy to the furthest corners of my feels. A sneaky one you already beat spring to it didn't you? Done with the teases and little glimses and graced us with full body appearances oh joy. She's an escapee from the garden this one. All stylish even on disguise cap and sun glasses like she's on the run yet she's all joy dressed like the sky as nature's own. -Sw👀

My Better Tomorrow
I didn’t know who I was looking at— Not at first glance. I thought maybe you were just another soul I’d cross paths with, Someone I’d walk this Earth beside, But not with. Never in my wildest dreams Did I imagine wanting to walk this Earth with you. Maybe it was your hazel eyes— Glowing like warm amber veins Spread across a leather canvas, Glints of green dancing around your irises Like sunlight flickering through the forest. Maybe it was the way your hand felt in mine— The weight of it, Not heavy in burden, But in depth. A weight that whispered of both love And long-held sorrow. When we first met, I didn’t know who I was dealing with. I was dealing with a thief— An unapologetic one. Because when your lips first met mine, Something inside me shifted. Something twisted… came untwined. A knot I thought would never loosen Was finally pulled free. And for the first time in a long time, I felt love again. You stole my heart— Effortlessly, Unintentionally, perhaps… But completely. You became the center of my gravity. You pulled every bit of focus from within me And held it like it belonged to you— Maybe it always did. Now, all I want Is to give you everything you’ve been missing: Love. Affection. Gratitude. Attention. Appreciation. Respect. And the quiet safety of being seen. Fully. Honestly. Tenderly. You, the thief who stole my heart... Can keep it.

The Thief I Didn’t See Coming
Everyday I reserve a moment to picture you to imagine us to feel your heart which I know well is still embedded into my own I'm aware these few moments of my day can lead to nothing but troubles, & heartache because when I open my eyes you're there god knows where & I'm here, nowhere When I stop to think about why I still take my time to think about you I can only come up with the reasoning that I still love you I always will love you even now, six months later after the damage is done after the tears have fallen for so long I'm worried they may have seeped their way into my heart Even with the knowledge of the gut wrenching heart altering pain our love brought into my all dancing and daisy life even past the break, the moment I knew the love of my life was never coming home I would do it all again over & over & over &over again just for a taste of that sensation of us lying barely clothed wrapped in your embrace for just a glimpse of your abysmal brown eyes for a minuscule moment of our epic love story I just thought you should know there's never regrets in this hallow hallway of my heart only stubborn love that grasps at a chance for one more try

I Would Do It All Again
Darling boy. I think you’re more of a dream than I’d like to admit. You’ve existed in my mind for so long. You go by many names: soulmate. The One. Love of my life. Angel. True love. Mister right. Beloved. Red. Why would I call you anything but your name when you go by so many? I can call you my sweetheart and it doesn’t hold what I’d like it to. My Red. Color boy. Have you ever considered that the crime scene of my heart is now covered in your fingerprints? Does it bother you to have your name so close to a ****** I’d like to think your hands will be the softest thing to ever touch me. I’d like to think your lips are even softer. I want to believe that you’ll always love me like this, the way that I’ll always love you like a whirlpool. I am just spinning in my feelings for you. They can be overwhelming, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. It’s almost like the universe created me to love you. I was created to be yours and you were created to be great. You’ve succeeded. And I hope I’m succeeding, too. I love you, soulmate.

More Than A Color
Oh those long summer nights Usually spent in the backyard with smoke in the air And old country music mixing in with the laughter Everyone’s smile is as big as the summer sun From roasting marshmallows to driving on old backroads at early hours And staying up all night just to see the sun rise Oh the sweet summer sun I’ll never stop wishing for the tan lines we get to last forever and ever Spending all day on those bluffs The rush you get when you jump into the cool lake water for the first time will probably never get old Summer is the love of my life It brings an abundance of happiness to my life And just the word makes me feel all warm inside The best memories I’ve made have been during that wonderful time

Falling in love is so scary, but you taught me to let go and let love in. The love you show me is the best feeling. Your warm hand touching my face makes me feel peace. I close my eyes and my mind goes blank and all my problems float away. You know how people say a picture is worth a thousand words; well that one touch says it all. I truly didn't think I knew what love was, but you showed me a deep unconditional love. You taught me that love and relationships aren't easy they're hard work. To me you are perfect and I just know you were perfectly sculpted and created for me. I can see it when I look you in the eyes.

she's a jumping bean, bouncing off walls, breaking in her velvet muscles. a princess crown encompasses her cranium, eyelashes like butterfly wings, fluttering in a breeze. wearing tic-tacs for teeth, a smile designed by blind men's hands, construction of a masterpiece. eyes aglow with eagerness, bleeding aquamarine, flooding my pupils with luminosity. giggles like dandelion seedtips, a supplementary appendage, attached to my forearm. she blankets me in gentle bear hugs, curling around like pink yarn, frayed at the edges.
