Loving you comes so naturally
like dancing to the slow beating of rain
like the soft breeze on a spring day
like the sun kissing my skin
It is forgetting you
that I try so hard at
and fail every time

I am lost
in places I found you
between where we fell in love and lost in love
I am waiting for you
come find me
this time

I am ready
Put this heart to rest
This beast in a cage
Impressed by its courage
Lest we forget its mistakes
Making sure it never neglects
Doesn't dare beat
for someone
that someone I am trying to forget

If no one hasn't told you yet
You
Are
Amazing
Beautiful
Courageous
Daring
Elegant
Fantastic
Generous
Handsome
Intelligent
Jolly
Kind
Loyal
Mind-blowing
Noble
Optimis­tic
Patient
Queenly
Rational
Strong
Talented
Uplifting
Vibrant
Wise
Xenial
Youthful
Zappy

The list goes on...

I have learned to embrace myself
to hold myself close
when the night is long
and the next day filled with uncertainty
I have learned to wear my scars
as badges honouring the wars and battles fought
I have learned to walk alone
in the roads that no one dares, hold my hand  
I have learned to wipe my own tears
when I silently cry in my bed
I have learned to love myself
in every way possible
I have learnt it all
the hard way

You like saying you love me too
but it is just words

My lover
I set you free
You can choose the distance
I know you don't love me
and you never will
I set you free

Tonight I will die
My soul will be taken

Grant me this last wish
Visit me one last time

It took courage for her
to let go
to give up on him

She was never good at goodbyes
but life thought her otherwise

What do you do for someone
whose lost a beloved
to death

Do you pat them in the back
tell me they will get through this

Do you say you share their grieve
and try to bandage their wounds

Do you give them flowers
hope they feel alright
and come into terms with the death

Do you give them a hug
wishing that brings together
their broken pieces

or do you just give them space
and pray they find their way out
of the darkness

Tell me please
How do you make the pain go away
or at least make it hurt a little less

Falling in love,
exciting
Staying in love,
pleasure
Falling out of love,
hell

Please don't let temporary people
teach you love
don't expect them to educate you
about forevers
about long night conversations
about sticking around no matter the hardship

They will only teach you
temporary love

I saw the knife
in your hand
I saw the hate
in your eyes
I saw the smile
slowly creep up
as you put the blade in me
I saw the blood
drip down
I am a witness to it all

I couldn't confess my love to you
while you were busy
looking into her eyes
holding her hands  
dreaming a forever with her
but I will whisper it to the wind
maybe it will tell you instead

He was the poison
Seemed more like the cure
He was stabbing me inside, out
Felt more like being stitched back together
He was poison mixed with sweet nectar

He was
the poison
and
the antidote
A snake containing both

I was intoxicated by his loving looks
Addicted to his welcoming smile
Don't blame me
He was Hypnotic

It's not that you were perfect
I loved you so much
I welcomed you with all your flaws
I wanted both
The good
The bad
And everything in between
I was willing to love every crack in your heart
and cherish every scar on your skin

From an ocean of love
you claimed to have  
not a single drop is left

Spare me your lies
I can read your eyes
They have been looking at someone else

I pray for you
good health
everlasting love
and a tonne of bliss

I play
you go through life
enjoying every moment
embracing every opportunity  

I pray  
you write more
about blue skies and perfect days
not lonely nights and depressing thoughts

I saw you
New Year's eve
My resolution to forget you
Guess that isn't happening
anytime soon

Your love slowly crept up on me  
Overtaking
Every
Cell
One
By
One
Like cancer
Steadily invading
My whole being
Once I was infected
I couldn't be cured

Poetry is my heart
stitched on a piece of paper
word by word
tear by tear
it is written
so that when I am no longer
people may remember me through these words

You are the perfect definition of beauty
Your eyes hold the entire universe in them
Your hands contain a world of kindness
Your smile is just contagious

Every detail breathtaking
God took his time creating you

When I lay eyes on you
I lose track of time
I get lost in the ecstasy of your beauty

From the way your lips curve up in a smile
to your electrifying fragrance  
Everything drives me crazy
I have lost control
I can only go deeper
drowning in you

I live for the day
that we meet again

A place that feels like home
Where time cease to exist

Destiny is what we make of it
and our love is not bounded by any limits
Where I can finally call out to you without fear

Where heartbreak is not in the dictionary
and one-sided love doesn't exist  
Where all we know of love is happyily ever afters that come true

Where I am yours
and you are mine
A place where Us exists forever
