From what I've seen of love,
I believe it doesn't last.
There's no such thing as fairytales
And happy endings never stood a chance.
Broken hearts paint a ****** trail
Of fear, regret, and pain.
All the hope, all the tears-
Every effort was in vain.
She'll never get him back,
And he'll never find a love like her.
We are imperfect people,
In a loveless world.

I said I didn't care
I said I'm happy
I said I'm fine
I said I could live without you
I said I didn't love you

...But I lied
heartaches be like

You would have fought.
You would have fought
until the death, until the end.
Until the sun burned out;
And the world fell cold,
You would have fought
And I'm sorry I cannot be
as strong and fierce as you.

It is my theory
that we are all connected.
From the thread around your finger
to the ribbon on her wrist
and the rope tightened on my neck.
Every action has a consequence,
because when you pull on the string;
*something unravels.

You only need your heart broken once
To be able to create a lifetime of poetry

some time ago
i froze my heart
i froze my heart
i kept it cold

to keep from breaking
keep from falling apart
but ice can splinter
ice can crack
more easily than i could have known

Is it possible to fall in love with just someone's hands?
I hate to objectify a living being,
but his hands feel like home.
And I know it's not usual to compare someone to a house,
but they say home is where the heart is
and my heart has never been so settled.
It's probably wrong to be in love with a person's features
but not the actual person;
to move into their vacancy space and
make a home out of them
because, in return, they will fall in love with you
and you will not be able to reciporicate it.
After all, people do not fall in love with objects,
and when they do, it's possessive.
But I have always been selfish and this time is
no different.

Moon princess
always- too volatile
for a prince or king-
stranded in a cold crater
created from some flaming
tongue lashing then leashed.

Some stupid *** quote says:
"If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best"
But it should really be:
"If you can't handle me at my worst then maybe I ought to go the **** away until you can tolerate me again because I'm not in any position to foist my shitstorm on anyone"

Or maybe I should stick to the original
Constantly inbetween inordinate pride that says I deserve the world and my gut telling me I'm not worth ****
He slept alone
But not quite
He slept with death
That night
He kissed darkness
And gave his blood
To creatures
Monsters
Predators of the dark
But he was happy
Kissing darkness
Looking into death's beautiful eyes
They found him dead in the morning
And they don't know why
Only the night knew the tale
And she was unwilling to tell
The sad story of the lonely man, and the life ******* vampire that visited that the night.
