so we’re not always perfect, and memories aren’t all good. But I love you. I love you, I love you, I love you, more than anything else on this entire planet, and my mind may be a mess and I might panic far too much and often  and I find it impossible to put my feelings into words but this is how it is. And like If I could capture the strength of the ocean on a stormy day or the smoke from a wild forest fire surging through the mountains in words on paper with my pen I’d write you the greatest love poem the greatest love story there ever was because I love you in natural disasters and I guess there is no other way to describe it. Because when we kiss the earth shakes and a thousand miles away a large city on the west coast experiences an earthquake of magnitude 10 and for a second life and time as we know it stops and stands still. And god when you touch me a warning comes on television and suddenly there is a tsunami crashing down and washing away the whole town and suddenly I don’t care because with the waves crashing around all I can feel and all I can see and all I can think is oh my god he’s touching me and my nerve endings are on fire and my heart is screaming can you hear it? You must hear it because it’s pounding out of my chest and it’s pounding for you. A tornado brews in the middle of a thunder and lightning storm with clouds and rain and fog so thick I can’t see and I am choking and I can’t breathe and the thing is that I open my eyes anyways and I breathe in the storm anyways and I run around and splash in the puddles anyways and I let the wind whip through my hair anyways as I stand up, throw my arms back and laugh into the wind. Because I am so tired and I am so sick of hiding under the trees to stay out of the rain and carrying around a fire hose to fight the fires around me. I can’t stop the waves but why would I when they can just wash me away? Because I keep hearing stories about people I know and how they keep the doors locked and keep the windows closed and wait for the storm to pass. And I am so ****** tired of locking myself up and waiting it out. I threw open my windows and blasted open the doors and ran from my house into the mass that surrounds it. There’s a state wide blackout in California from the way you looked at me on our first date. People scream in terror and my heart screams for you. An active volcano threatens to erupt and there is a nationwide panic. And through the ashes burning and molten lava all I ******* see is you. Hurricane Katrina broke Louisiana but my god it did not break our hearts. Because I love you in natural disasters. Big, destructive, dangerous, terrifying…beautiful.

I just want to know whether or not you’re ******* with my head

If the words you’re saying

Aren’t just you bored or alone.

I want to know if I’m pretty,
I’m special,

If I’m something you want.

If I’m sensible,
worth it,
you consider me smart.

I want to know if your level of interest
Is higher than friendship,

If your 2am texts mean more than you’re high.

I want to know if there’s something more here
If falling is safe,
or I should be more insecure.

I want to know if you’re thinking

Of who we could be.

If when I make you smile and laugh

It’s not just cause I’m funny.

I want to know if we’re somewhere

Or going

Or possibly might,

I Want to know if that’s even a thing to be thought
I haven't been able to concentrate today.
Everything is out of focus,
except for you.
You are in painstaking clarity.

You are flooding my mind
and I am drowning
Submerged in memories
that play on a loop

We've become entangled
and we enjoyed it
because we only considered the present
and ignored the inevitable future

Now its crashed all around us
I'm struggling to untie the knots
Because I don't want to
Because I'm afraid you'll drift away

But then I remember why I fell for you
Because we have an insane amount of things in common
Because you are fun to talk to
Because we make each other laugh

Thats when I know
that everything will be alright
That I can breathe easy
That we'll always be friends

Why do boys think it's okay to be so ****** all the time.

We haven't known each other long,
Yet I have all these silly feelings.
They are weird,
They tickle my tummy and make my head all fuzzy.
I think about you bunches
And it kinda ***** man
Dude this isn't really a poem idk what this is but it's feels that's all I really know.

Now I have this sinking feeling in my stomach because you decided to get involved with **** that was NONE of your business. What the actual ****.
Why the **** do I care so much
Victoria Lynn Oct 2015
when you feel super meh because the boy you like doesn't really like you so you try and like other people that you used to like and its just kinda not the same.
