I love this boy
I really do love this boy
Nothing and no one can tell me I don't
Nothing and no one can tell me I can't
Oh how good it feels to be in love
Not just the beginning mushy part
The parts that matter
The happy parts
The sad parts
Just being in your arms is wonderful
It's beautiful
It's home...

I think I like to be sad
That's very hard to explain
I know I like to be happy
And I think I'm insane
Yemi I love you and I'm sorry this patch is rough
I'm sorry being alive right now seems a little tough
Maybe this is one of them stories you see online
Of broken girl meets broken guy and they love each other for a while
I never put names in poems and I think that's kinda weird
But I'm happy you have honour of being the first love I've shared (with the world)
I can't wait to see you today
And hold you and kiss you and well be with you all day
I hope somehow I fill your face with glee
I hope somehow you're really happy with being with me
Bleep bloop blehhh

Sticks and stones may break your bones but love will always hurt you
These are words I wrote long ago before I even met you
You smile (hardly) and laugh (with an undertone of sadness) as if I don't affect you
But maybe I should face the fact that I'm not the girl for you
You say you love me and there can't be anyone better but I never feel it's really true
Because deep down I never feel I am enough for you
I ask you what you want but you say you have no clue
I might just have to face the fact that I'm not the one for you
This might be all the bad thoughts coming out in one rhyme
But these are thoughts I have from  time to time
I think I need you more than you need me and that's a scary thought
Because it's the way it always goes and I hoped ours would not
What I'm about to say might seem like a stretch
But I think me in your life makes you a wretch
I'm sorry I can't make you happy like you should be
I'm sorry out of everyone it had to be me
I'm sorry I've made your friendships not great
And I'm sorry out of everyone I was the girl you had to date
I wish these words didn't have some truths
I wish these weren't thoughts I have about me and you
Sometimes I think maybe you're not meant to be happy
Sometimes I think you like the gloom
I wish you knew how my heart hurts when I see you have a frown
I wish you knew how much I wish I could turn it upside down
I talk about you to everyone and yap on and on
But maybe I should stop so many people don't feel bad for me when you finally move on
Even while I write this, all I want to be is safe in your arms
But I don't know if I should think of it as home
Because I'm terrified you'll leave and I'll be all alone
These are many things that run through my mind
These are some things that I never let you see
But these are the thoughts of an insecure me

I sit here at 2AM looking for quotes to say I love you
But none of them are just quite right
So how about something from a washed up poet who decided to try tonight
I'm usually good with words but you make my mind jumble
You make my heart race and make my words fumble
When I'm with you, I can't be sad
You always make me so happy even when you're the reason I'm mad
Silences are never awkward and cuddles are devine
You brighten my dark places, you're my sunshine
Love like this doesn't just happen, it has to be God's design... Right?
Me and you? We're one of a kind
Like our fates are somehow intertwined
This isn't perfect but I hope when you see it you'll smile, at the words of a washed up poet who can't get you out of her mind
So I've been in love with this boy for over ten months and four and a half months ago we decided stop being scared and go for it and he's a giant pain in my *** lol but I couldn't imagine myself with any other person

ART
You have to pour it all into your art
All the hurt
All the pain
The loneliness and the fear
Put the darkest parts you into your art
And turn it into something beautiful

3AM
3AM this morning, you broke my heart
You had me in your palms and you ripped me apart
3AM this morning, there was no more us
No more me and you left to discuss
3AM this morning, you left me alone
Not even in person, not a call but a text on the phone
3AM this morning, I felt my heart ache
I felt my arms shiver and I felt my knees quake
3AM this morning, I no longer had you
I lost my sun, my stars, my earth and my moon
3AM this morning, I felt a great loss
I miss you, I MISS YOU, no sugarcoats or  gloss
3AM this morning felt like a dream
Tell me this is a joke or part of some scheme
Come back to me please cuz 3AM was a nightmare
Come back to me so our lives we can share
Come back so I can hold you again
So I can love you the right way with no distain
You have my heart, lock and key
I will fight for you if you are willing to fight for me

And my new love broke my new heart
