I don't trust
People have broke that
I don't open up my heart
People didn't listen to that
I don't follow
People have led me astray
I don't love
People took advantage of that

But here I am
Someone known for such a short time
I trust you
Like you are trustworthy
I open my heart up to you
Like you will always listen
I follow you
Even if we were to fall off a cliff
I love you
Like you had earned it

Here I am
Trusting
Sharing
Following
and Loving
Like I don't have anything to lose
As if I didn't learn before

Here giving my all to you
Like I never did before
a raincloud sits above my head
from time to time
i find it hard to brave these dismal skies.

but then you come along,
as you do.

with a light behind your eyes
a fire in your soul
and you build me up
so much so,
i no longer feel small.

my greatest friend,
that is why
when the going gets tough
and the world caves in
you come along,
as you do
and then i remember
what it means to feel loved.
Let's not forget that we are flesh and bones.
Stillness eternal, smiling, in a storm of chaos.
Unbothered like the icy stare of eternal death.
Reflected in the blooming iris of life.
The pupil dilates and contracts
and the moments in between breaths.
We remember who we are.

The way things make you feel

I have come so far
and all of my scars
they symbolize the battles
that I have won

keep going, warrior.
A closed door means "no"
If it doesn't open wide
It's not yet your door

Do not ignore me
Look at me, your creation!
Embrace my body
That I may be yours fully
I have gone astray
In the ocean of regret
Drenched in coral sound
Swallowed by the swirl of death
Let me hear the songs
That the seagulls offer you
Kiss my yearning lips
And whisper grace into my ear!
My tongue on your chest
Look not at me as a slave
But as the blood to your heart
Please forget my sins
But remember my kisses
As the rocks remember waves
Try understand
Madness in crime
In sinister goals
Conspiracies' slime
Politics gone awry
Madmen are reigning
Beware
Be strong

A take
Her poems are like a Sea,
Writing about her Soulmate
With full of anticipation and love
Dripping every letter from her pen
Her eyes are like camera
Capturing every beautiful moment of his in her own heart,
Her smiles are like pearls
Rejecting the diamonds in exchange for his pearls
And he is her life now
No matter what happens and
what gonna happens
