Langston Hughes
Because my mouth
Is wide with laughter
And my throat
Is deep with song,
You do not think
I suffer after
I have held my pain
So long?

Because my mouth
Is wide with laughter,
You do not hear
My inner cry?
Because my feet
Are gay with dancing,
You do not know
I die?

I would liken you
To a night without stars
Were it not for your eyes.
I would liken you
To a sleep without dreams
Were it not for your songs.

The thought
the thought of you dragging
a blade across your
wrist
it kills me.
The thought
the thought of you
taking your last breath
tears me apart.

you are too young and
beautiful to leave this world
you are too loved
to even think to leave

you remind me of the song
by lana del ray
the one that goes..
"will you still love me when
im no longer young and beautiful?"
yes yes i will

you tell me i am your big sister and
you look up to me
and not to cry because i am
too beauttiful,
now its my turn.

you are beautiful
you are loved. so please
wipe the tear off you
cheek, put the blade
down and come here
i love you
just remember the promises
we made eachother
that one day
we will be able to hold eachother
in our arms and
i can tell you how much
i love you.

because words dont
describe it enough, words cant
express the feelings
going through my body
i love you. x

Here I stand,
looking at nothing,
feeling empty.

You look at me
and ask me why.

I turn to you
and see you glowing.
You took every part of me.

You're full, I'm empty.
Mission accomplished.

hey kitten
come here,
you know i love you, right?
i really do very very very much,
im not going anywhere,
the way you look at me makes my heart skip a beat,
i love the feeling,
the way you look at me is like when a little kid has eyes on something they want, get and end up loving so much that they never wanna lose it or let go,
i love the feeling,
the way you hug me....

so warm,
i love it and so gentle <3

the way you kiss me...
***.. you take my breath away each time and my heart always starts racing, it doesnt stop racing for a long while.
i love it,
i love you our lips dance so smoothly,
i never wanna stop,
its addicting <3
the way you make me feel is the feeling iv been looking for
you make my path brighter,
when we slowed kissed that night and i started crying, its cuz i was feeling like:
“***, i finally got what i wanted, i never wanna let her go. iv been through hell and i got what i deserve....her”
like that...
i love you,
nobody made me feel like that.
the guys were like FRIENDS,
the 3exgfs  were the ones that ruined me,
#1 did the most damage,
while the other 2 just played me around,
and all 3 of them told me they dont deserve me and to find better. the first 2 i didnt listen til the 3rd one i was like ok
and then....
there comes you,
the girl i will not stop choosing,
the girl ill love with all my heart,
the girl i can imagine living with and everything even tho we known each other for a short time.... time means nothing to me sometimes... all i know is ,
ILL NEVER STOP LOVING OR CHOOSING YOU

I met my girlfriends family today
Northerners
It was her grandad on her father's sides
Ninetieth birthday but you couldn't tell!
Congratulations
We go out for a meal, enjoying the laughs
They thought I couldn't eat
The giant whaler portion
Of fish and chips

"It's got nowhere to go!"
"Y'don't get fish like that down south"
"You'll never finish that."
"Are you struggling?"
"Good luck with that!"

I only went and ate it all didn't I
Proved them wrong and now I think
I may never ever eat again
A fully suppressed appetite forever
All to make a point and to be
Accepted

To be fair though,
We don't get fish like that down south and
I would eat the giant whaler portion again
Provided someone's doubt in my ability to
Actually eat it swayed me from the large
Ha.
Jotting down memories to make them more than memories.

Sometimes, I just crave poetry
I crave writing it
And I crave reading it

Although I may not have any ideas in my head
I’ll get on my computer
And let the ideas flow
Into a poem

Sometimes I’ll look through
The books of poetry I have
And find something that suits my mood
And sometimes I’ll even emulate it

I feel like poetry is a living thing
You can connect with it
And share your feelings
There is so much more to poetry
For me
That is hard to explain
But I’m sure other poet’s understand
What I’m trying to say

I have something I love to do
Something that gets me up
Every morning
That I love, that I care for

It brings me life, reminds me why
I smile even when it's hard.
