I'm afraid that you've whispered into my veins,
that you've spoken into my skin.
And if life has its way and you go away,
I'll be left with this burning within.

My hands are yours now,
you belong in my arms,
and my body is broken into
what stays with me,
as it has to be,
and, darling, what misses you.

Forever My Always

I know...
I am not one of the pages of your book
or the words in your poem
But...
I will tirelessly watch over you from every nook.

I know I am your never
but you will forever be my always...

I know...
I am not the potrait you are painting
or the inspiration behind your masterpieces
But...
in my heart , it is your name I am engraving.

I know I am your never
but you will forever be my always...

I know...
I am not the reason for your smiles
or the tickles of your laughter
But...
for you, I would walk a thousand miles.

I know I am your never
but you will forever be my always...

I know...
I am not your shining star
or the light in your life
But...
till forever is through, I'll admire you from afar.

I know I am your never
but you will forever be my always...

I know...
I am not the one your heart beats for
or the one you desire
But...
my hearts says as long as it brings you happiness,
it wants nothing more.

I know I am your never
**but you will forever be my always...

"Every feeling unreturned has its own rainbow."
Let your heart lead the way...

I wish.

I wish.

I wish I could show love,
Rather than just feel it.

I wish I could ignore hate
Instead of being consumed.

The desire to radiate the affection
I feel for others,
Rather than stuttering and stammering
When the words won't come out right
Or they are misinterpreted
Or merely disregarded
As lies.

Beautiful

He called me beautiful,
said it matter of fact.

I have grown to believe,
I have made myself learn,
that I am more than a face,
that people are more than that.

I am a soul,
I am thoughts and words.
I am a daughter of God-
And then flesh.

I don't need validation,
because it is empty.
Shouldn't need to be told who I am.

But sometime's we're weaker,
and lose sight of our centre.
He called me beautiful.
And I remembered.

To You, From Me

To You, From Me

You’ve held me as captive
captured me as a whole
Left a mark
straight to my heart

I’m in trouble
Oh
I’m too vulnerable
How could you be so cruel?
I feel too little

You’re still here
in the back of my hand
Inked and marked inside my head

So that’s how to fall
slowly pushed in a pit of tunnel
A war that is- a never ending battle

It’s neither mine nor yours to fight
because when you’re in love
you’re already holding on too tight

Falling might be something that is hard to control yet we do not have a choice but go with it. It would hurt if no one will catch you. But that's the thing about love, sometimes we shouldn't give a **** about it. Go with the flow and let it be.

History Repeats

Six months of silence
But I was just distracted.
One word knocks me down.
