My body aches in thought of you,
at all times, of the day, of the night.
I try to hold back,
not to overwhelm you with this need.
But I can't.  You are something I have to have.

Just thinking of your smile,
your hands, your body, your whisper.
I'm shivering in spite of my will,
to keep this all inside, to keep from bursting.
Please, notice me.
See my glances.  Tell me you want this too.
Notice me,
Turn your head and
Look at me.
I want your eyes to
Absorb my figure,
To engulf
My entire being;
I want my presence
On every iota of
Sentient thought
You may possess.
Notice me,
Say the words to
Mesmerize me.
I watch you while
You play your violin
Everyday,
Black-chaired,
Snide,
It ends at 10:55,
Sharp.
I can feel
My heart strings squeak
As resin can't even
Make it sing,
Telling you
Everything neatly,
Metered,
In time.
Notice me,
Open your ears and
Hear me.
I think of you
When nobody
Else is around,
When safety comes
To blanket me in
A shroud made from
My own shame.
I dream of you
When I'm not even here,
Lost in the darkest
Reaches of dreamy
Sleep,
Restless by your image.
I yearn for you
Even when I am spent,
Dried up
And exhausted,
Yet I still bow down
To the throne
Of your thought
And humbly worship
My feelings on fire,
Burnt as an offering
To your gods
Of affection.
All I ask in return
Is for you to
Turn your eyes
And tolerate me.
Please, don't pay them any mind.
I want to be the first person you think of when you wake from a long nap after a hard day of work. The one you just can’t get enough of. I want you to love me like you will never see me again, knowing you will see me within the next couple of days. I want you to love me for who I am which includes my flaws and the parts of me that I wish I could change. I want you to kiss me like I am the only girl you have ever kissed. I want you to love me enough to tell me when I am wrong, but also to support me when I am right. Even if it is only us standing. I want you to feel confident when I am around, knowing that I won’t be going anywhere fast. I want you to love me enough to bring out the laughter that I love sharing with you. I want you to hold my hand in front of everyone, just so they know how happy we are together. Most of all though, I just want you to love me. <3
Scream for me. Want me to be okay.
Love me like your best with heart in chest
And mind in hand,
Sing to me a gracious cry of pity.
Long for me to be by your side.
Notice I'm gone.
Call me your own.
Be captivated by me.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
These words make me sick
When all I think about is you
So, I'll re-write this poem and make it a new
To tell a story all about you

Stunning and gorgeous, beautiful and dear
These people don’t give a **** about you or how you feel
So keep your head up and all will become clear
Soon enough you’ll learn who to keep near

So when your smile fades away
And your heart's all gone
You’ll think about the day
It all went wrong

And you try and just live
But these people bring you down
Tears from your face fall all over the ground
Your eyes glimmer blue, so sad and so true
All you can think about is who?

You’ll sit in your house
And look at the sky
You’ll stare at the stars
And wonder why?

But when stars cross and patterns align
I can tell you that you’re always on my mind
Through thick and thin, and times of fear
I’ll tell you that I’m always here.

So after I left and people came through
I Thought of all the ways that I Miss You
I thought of the summer, and all of the fun
Than wondered if I was staring at a loaded gun

So, when the drugs won’t give
And the lies don’t help,
We’re not just this crush
All ****** up in a rush.

Our hearts will beat
Together to this song
And with the rhythm
Together as one

And the world will spin and twist all around
Waiting for that moment to bring it all around
And hopefully you’ll see
That there's a story inside about you and me

And when it’s all over,
I hope it’s me and you
I’ll sign this letter, “Forever to You.”
Oh, and P.S. I Love You!
The room is getting smaller, slowly but surely.
As the space decreases, my anxiety increases.
Every second, it shrinks a little more.
Smaller and smaller, shrinking
away until it crushes
me; turning
me into
dust
.
Once I lost you
Once I tossed you
You never said a word
I never could have heard

Miracle you bore
A refugee in the wreckage
Sharpening your wings
Withstanding dangerous oppression

Young being, incomplete being
Trying not to succumb
To your own capitalist appropriation
Eminent commodification
Implicating your body and mind

Who remained unscathed?
Who wreaked the havoc?
Just...so many wings could gain wind
In this cage, lacking space

System simply cannot withstand
Cost of everyone's liberation
Convenient systematic predilection
Where some are never meant to fly

Miracle you bore
A refugee in the wreckage
Sharpening your wings
Withstanding dangerous oppression

How can any wings soar
When the trail of their shadows
Hide systematic traps for our failure
To ensure only a few course the skies

Liberation is not meant to be
Just yours or mine
No commodity for private consumption

Its usage, embrace, and appropriation
Has universal implications
A radical transformation that seeks to complete a human being
Emblematic of an ideological reconceptualization
A revolutionary new understanding of being human

A re-authentication of our own liberation
Purely predicated on that of others
June 4, 2013
I am empty, yet I am whole
I burn with passion, desire, hot
Yet I am frozen to the core, cold.
My steps are surer than a Lions,
Yet insecurity ravages my mind like a bad disease.
My thoughts impulsive, extemporaneous
Yet cool, calm and calculated are my middle names.
Sometimes fear makes me weaker than a withering flower
But usually I'm bolder than a boxer, ducking, diving, bobbing, weaving
I can be loud, raucous, unbecoming
or quiet, shy and unwelcoming
I prefer my own space
But I'm your best friend
I can follow with the obedience of a dog
But I love setting trends.
I am an honest liar
A well read idiot
A losing champion
A logical creative
Beautifully ugly
Perfectly flawed
What I'm saying, is I'm human.
A walking contradiction
I'm an Oxymoron,
Yet I am not.
You said we were like the Sun and the Moon.
And I agreed, as long as I got to be the Moon
But soon I realized that,
with you as the Sun,
I didn't get to see you too often.
I got sick of your company only becoming
time spent passing each other throughout the day.
I got tired of other people falling in love with how beautiful you were;
I was young,
jealous.
People never fell in love with me.
