Down she fell in dust and ashes and hit the ground like lightening carving through earth as she landed.  
They relished seeing her subdued. They loved telling her she was undone.
But their hearts trembled, as they beheld, from beneath the mound of soot and torched ambitions,
A faint glow began to twinkle and glimmer and burn brighter,
She emerged from her burial place, with her wings set on fire. She burned hotter than she did before she fell.
She laughed, for they were faint at the sight of her. She could not be overcome. She rises stronger with every blow she receives.
A Phoenix.

My darling, I love you
Simply because I want to love you.
I yearn for the best in regards to you.
And if I can in any way, ease your situation,
Or make you happy, then I will. Because,
With abandon and reckless honesty, I love you.
I love you wildly.

I was nestled in your arms
My face was buried in the curve of your neck
I knew it was you,
It was just a dream,
As fleeting as a shadow,
But I was with you.
And that’s good enough for me

Thank you,
In this world full of fantasy
Fake “I loves yous”
And shattered promises
You gave me something real
You gave me a stable ground to stand on
Maybe you aren’t rose petals on the bed
But you are arms safely wrapped around me
You are a sincere kiss
You are my true love

Maybe shes always been drawn to the darkness
Because the light exposed her shame
She never met a judgmental thief

Will you ever find me?
Waiting here patiently
Picking petals off flowers.

He looked at her,
Smaller than him,
Nicer than him,
Eyes full of emerald secrets
Lips full of kindness
And her smile
Nearly knocked him out
She was in every way different than him
But also she was the piece missing from him
She was him
