oh my stars May 2015
Warm my blood with a kiss of your sorrow,
Fuel my beating heart with the despair
I have inflicted upon you.
Give my lungs the breath of your woe.
Quench my thirst with tears of desperation
To be happy.
All that maintains me is your sadness.
oh my stars May 2015
Love is like water:
Necessary. We can't live without it.
It seeps through even the smallest of spaces,
Unaffected by darkness and emotion, withstanding all else.
It has been here since the beginning and will be here until the end.
When all else fails there is always water,
There is always love.

Love is like water,
And I'm dehydrated.
oh my stars May 2015
my love writes love poetry
but it's not about me
oh my stars May 2015
I have been replying to you all day.
Writing poetry to complete yours.
Please talk to me.
Please notice me.
Waiting for my phone to buzz with a message from you is killing me.
Slowly.
Please talk to me.
I love you.
Sorry that this poem is so awful but awful is how I feel right now, and isn't poetry meant to reflect your feelings?
being dead inside is a paradox.
a contradiction. polar opposites.
you feel nothing at all, but at the same time you're feeling something.
there are no intense emotions yet, feeling so dead inside is an intense emotion in itself.
you're comforted by the fact that you won't feel any bad emotions but
at the same time, you're dissatisfied because you won't feel any good emotions either.
being dead inside is great when your lover leaves you, when your friend dies, when everything comes crumbling down at once ... because you won't feel it as much.
being dead inside is terrible when your lover tries to kiss you, when your friend invites you on a vacation, when everything starts coming together ... because you won't feel it as much either.

We set out building blocks
Of trust
Love
Honour
Faith
On top of each other
Until they rose into the sky,

But we set them on shaky foundations.

Even the most beautiful of skyscrapers can fall
