ILY My fam is so cute
#Hashbrowns @MyBFFFFs
Last looks of a father as he leaves
with a dry cleaned suit.
The last breakfast I ate with my family
Together. Rebuked.
Now it lays archived in the mind of i
A memory fragment less intact
than the Colossus of Rhodes
What's that? Let me Google that.
What will become of the crowd
The voices, in their plight are
"Like wow, Laughing Out Loud"
Like apathy is the new trend
Can we even say there is a greater purpose
of the time we Spend.

Why am I so dif-fer-ent?
They say I’m out of touch.
Why am I, ple-nar-ily sad?
This life it hurts so much.
And why do they come, come every day?
Shush, quiet now, they’re here.
Those awful tormentors of my soul all cackling and queer!
Whirling head of spinning revolutions,
…feel my stomach ache and pang.
Why will they not leave me alone?
This crew of darkness; Blackbird Gang.
I shouldn’t always feel like this, feel such solemn pain,
…troubling and trouble is these birds are driving me insane!
I’m screaming now! I’m mad with rage! Throwing ice cubes at my deck,
“Go away! Yes, go away!” -their numbers must be kept in check.
Blackhole-whirl, flying twirling darkness, their funnel it points to me-e-e-e-!
For too many is too painful and my mind’s a constant wreck!
One cannot think with those infernal be-e-e-asts,
...and the crazy song they sang.
Why do they so punish me?
The crew of darkness; Blackbird Gang.
I know they serve the Saturn’s wheel and now they’ve come for me.
What did I do? Oh what great sin, oh the blackbirds from within;
The Abyssimal Sea?
Their whirlpool funnel is all around, as my harried soul, it expiates.
I’m done-in; I’m over now, a sorely victim of the Fates!
They took me, took me away, when the tolling bell it rang.
Why could they not leave me alone?
The crew of darkness; Blackbird Gang.
If you find yourself all alone and mired in their thought,
…do not think, extirpate, all the human damage that you’ve wrought.
His flock of fledgling melancholy musical formation,
…will take you away and straight to Hell; the Seventh Circle congregation!
For they took me, took me away, when the tolling bell it rang.
And they will not leave you alone.
This crew of darkness; Blackbird Gang. *

I started writing a poem about them
And the beginning sounded like ours
The one where I told you that
Words aren't enough to define us
And yes words are limiting
But
They also have a way of telling you more
If you pay close enough attention
When "I love you endlessly"
Turns to "ILY" and
"I can't imagine my life without you"
Turns to weeks of sitting alone
And all the "I miss you"s
Turn to "how are you"s
As if you even cared
Your actions never matched your language
Were your words too limiting for you?
When I was still always there for you
And all you did was break promises?
Were the words you spoke too constricting?
At least that would explain why you broke them
Though still not why you said them
Maybe you were afraid to let me down
Or afraid to really be seen
Or just so self-absorbed that you didn't care
That you couldn't care
About yourself
Or about me

Tell me a time
U needed me
A time u grabbed ur phone
2 text me.
Have u ever rung me
In the depths of the night
Just to hear my voice
In the darkness?
U could say u had
U could tell me u need me
But I’d see our messages
Or rather, my messages:
The lines and lines
Of my words,
Calling ur name,
That go on for miles.
Punctuated by one of urs
A smile :)
Or a word
And nothing more.
How can ily
When u never respond?
How can I be obsessed
When there’s nothing:
No message
For me to obsess over.
Ily
But u never,
ever reply :(

Less than three denotes a heart
showing love between two teens.
Texting back and forth with words
created out of broken and squished words.
Back with “ilu,” “ilysfm,” “ily,” “ilusm.”
And forth “i<3u,” “ilym,” “ilylc,” “bilu.”
Outsiders don’t understand the slang
but they don’t know,
they do not need to.
Only the two who are in love.

I want you to text me I love you when we haven't talked all day
I want an I love you in the halls at random times
I crave the syllables that bounce out of your mouth when you call me 'your girl'
But I don't want
Ily, why bother is what you're saying I can't type the extra 7 characters
Well if you can't type those extra 7 characters maybe I can't text you anymore after all too many letters
I don't want
Love ya, what are we 5? Tell me you love me or say nothing it's not that hard
If you ever dare text me I (heart emoji) u, I will delete your number, i deserve more than an emoji and two 2 letters
I deserve paragraphs of you proclaiming your love for me or even a sentence asking to talk for a little bit
I don't deserve three letter texts but after all maybe you dont deserve these two letters

I am irrevocably in love with you.
This is not a poem.
This is a confession.
This is an outpouring of my heart stings.
I am so in love with you that I needed to get it out on the internet and let the world know.
You possess my whole heart.
Oh dear God, I am so ******* in love with you.

can only hug me one armed
knights under a fan that shakes
as my legs go their own way
too far gone into loving you
say you love me in some ways too
concerned with your own knees
to worry about mine how can i
willingly put myself in your bed
do you think that maybe when
you leave me for dead
you won’t miss me if you die too!

You put me into the hospital
Then call me selfish
You make my arm bleed
And then call me self destructive
But are you that blind..
That you don't realize you did all of this
Because of *** you***
I was in the hospital
Because of *you I'm "self destructive"
Because of how much I cared
About you
I almost died
Sure, I used to be self destructive
And yes I do have scars on my wrist
But you might as well, Have made them yourself
After all the **** you did to me
Me caring about you
Doesn't make me
"Very selfish"
If anything it makes me very selfless
I stuck around so long
And found more excuses to stay by your side
When everyone else told me you were no good
When everyone else told me to leave
I couldn't leave you when you needed me most
Because I'm not like you..
I'm not a selfish person
And when you started lying
I stayed..
Even though I was breaking at the seams
I still held on to you
And that was my mistake
And I'm sorry..
I'm so sorry
That you think I'm such a bad person for trying to help you Always thinking of you, for caring and giving a **** when no one else would..
Staying up all night and crying
About you
About your foolish actions
Like stepping into my life
Like making me care..
Even after what happened..
Michael
I can't stop my feelings, for you
Even though you're a narcissistic *******
I can't save this heart
From the damage
That you caused
When I gave you my heart so willingly
So foolishly..
And you crushed it
In the hands that I wanted to hold so badly
It was all done by The only person in this world I ever wanted to love..
"You're beautiful"
"Ily"
"I promise"
It was all ********
Pointless
Meaningless
Lies..
And it's not my fault
That you have problems
It never was
Because
I'm only human..

ILY: I love you.
*** Why did you cheat on me?
KMS: I'm killing myself, bye.

One language,
One phrase
Is not enough.
Not enough to express
How I really feel
About you.
Te amo,
Je t’aime,
Koishiteru.
Ek het jou life,
Jeg elsker dig,
Minä rakastan sinua.
Nope.
This still isn’t enough.
I hope you know
What I’m trying to say to you.

let's lay on the rooftop
and smoke
until our curious lungs burn
and we'd run out of words to say
but 'i love you'
(i love you)
like the words were spoken for the first time
and we're already drunk with the idea of (love's) reciprocity

I miss you, I want to see you. But not because it’s “couple season” – not because it’s cold and gloomy and city lights explode with hands conjoined. You are worth more than the missed holidays, more than the occasions spent without us being in the company of one another: Hallowe'en, my birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, probably your birthday, too, as well as Valentine’s, and our anniversary.
On these specially marked days, I feel a certain emptiness as you, my beloved other half, is not present with me, yet that which is not emptiness, for you still fill my heart plenty. In these times, I feel envy as lovers are so obviously visible everywhere, yet that which is not envy, for they are not you. I may suffer from your absence but I don’t suffer from jealousy. See, I love you, this one man who cannot compare to the likes of any other, this one man who strangely loves me back, this one man who’s mine and to whom I’m his.
You are so very special to me and you mean a lot to me. I love you, I lurve you, I lava you, ILY (code), I <3 U (symbols), je t'aime, saranghae (Korean) – I want to say it a gazillion times and it wouldn’t be enough, and yet I don’t want to say it because it’s only an ensemble of words, an expression that is just too common, overused, cliché and weak, whose (level of) meaning doesn’t remain constant. Perhaps I could keep coining new ones, but then again I don’t want to be simply, mindlessly uttering or writing them like so, as if out of habit.
I want this so-called “love” to be conveyed in such a way that – a tap on the shoulder, a homemade dinner and handcrafted gifts, a random drive, a silent gaze, a goodbye hug and a goodnight kiss, my sleep-mumbling in your ear and your snoring on my nape, and the sharing of clothes – would melt our heart and let us fall a little deeper, therein meaning exponentially more than a mere, verbal, three-worded clause, “I love you.” That’s the kind of love I want us to be… partaking in.
Today, eight months later, (although I am still thirteen hours ahead, still 8,070 miles East, and still not in your arms…) at the last stroke of the small hand, we both wave and bid farewell to 2015 and welcome and gaze at 2016.
I’m thankful that love found us, I’m glad that we followed, and I’m happy that our relationship remains in the present.
May the new year be full of goodness!

Why must we destroy language with abbreviations?
In my phone
And on my computer screen
The words lack worth
Lack depth
Lack the luster
The way they taste on my tongue as my jaw works the syllable
ILY means I LOVE YOU
See also: If I had to choose between holding the world up like Atlas or holding you
I’d hold you till the earth shattered.
BRB means BE RIGHT BACK
See also: I am not leaving forever and in a few minutes
You can once again have my undivided attention
*** means WHAT THE ****
See also: I can’t believe you left me like that
I mean WHAT THE ****
BFF means BEST FRIEND FOREVER
See also: I don’t care if it takes forever for you to say that
Take all the time you need
DTF means DOWN TO FORNICATE
See also: DOWN TO ****
See also: For an evening
I am going to leave my best friend forever
For a girl who makes me wonder
What the **** I am doing with my life
For the chance that she may actually one day tell me
I love you
But the first morning after
As the breeze cools the sweat off our naked bodies
As she finally wakes up
Looking like the safety of bad memories
I kiss her on the forehead and say
I’ll be right back
Only this time
I won’t be

The One,
The Only,

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

I don't see how u can talk to someone off and on for over2 yrs and follow their every keystroke and see what and who they talk to and listen to them thru the speakers on the computer and if I didn't cover the camera would be able to see us also.....and then see theyre on a dating site and either u had a profile already or made one up to meet me. That is a lot of following and listening and reading their online happenings...only to meet them from the dating site. Which how u even knew that id date you is odd unless u were just hoping. I realized that when my brother died last year.....that was you I was talking to wasn't it??? Do you know how special that is to me and my heart? I didn't have anyone to help ,me thru that and you were there. I wanted to thank you so very much. I don't see how u can do all these tracings of my actions and talk to me at the most horrific time of my life thus far and then not tell me that its you..... I will never under stand why u didn't tell me.... I so wished you would have *** the things would have turned out so much different. I just thought u were some dude who was a cheating pig....and wasn't thinking too serious about anythg *** I knew u wont leave "her". that's why I never asked u too and or even brought it up *** ive seen the shows where they say they'll leave but never do so why ask? but if id had known u were frozen heart and soule shawn I would have looked at things differently. I would have taken things and rearranged them to fit into my life better. I owe the person or man who talked to me and helped me get thru each day when john died a lot..... *** If it wasn't for u I don't think id been ok. Also If id known you were the holder of my heart and would have told me things instead of not saying much....it would have ended up in the way u wanted it to be. Not this way where I will be sad and ****** yet upset for not knowing u were the one who makes me happy *** to me you are perfect and perfect for me as well... God I miss u more then u will ever know,,, I wish I could hug and kiss u.... and sit and talk ....but its not gonna happen and it just makes me want to cry but I keep getting headaches when I cry....so I don't like to.... Im so grateful that I was with u for the year and a half we spent together.....wish it would have lasted for ever though instead...cus I wont ever stop wanting u....ILY!!!

You tell me on facebook "ily, bby"
Not even taking the time to type it out...
You ask me constantly if I am going to leave
I lay in bed crying at night because you forget me
So many guys want to be in my life that it hurts...
It hurts that I have to break their trusting gaze
Because I'm looking towards you...
Looking, hoping praying that your love is true
When I met you I told you to call me Kitty or Blue
But instead you call me by my real name, something few people do
When we first got together we were hotter then fire and gasoline
Now we're barely a half empty lighter on a chain smoker
When did things fade away? When did things start to change?
When did you finally get sick of being with me?
You still tell me you love me... But I have to say it first...
Am I just a nuisance? Do I actually annoy you?
Tears fill my eyes as my feelings I compromise...
You are getting away with my ******
The ****** of my heart and soul, the flash in my eyes
I become the meekest child under your gaze
And I just no longer know what to do...
Because I fear I no longer love you...

I love words
Even more; I
love finding
The words that can
describe you.
You are so
Volatile,
Bittersweet,
Extra-ordin-
ar-ily
magnetic
Such a strong force
Pushes us
Away then you
Flip sides and
You pull us in.
You are so
Iridescent,
Whimsical,
Beautifully
Sarcastic
Irony ought
To be your
Middle name and
Satire
Should be your game.
I know I
Will spend my days
Searching for
Words that do you
Justice but
You are indescribable.

It is 2:13 AM. I am up thinking, dreaming –
Yet still awake.
My dreams are my reality.
My imagination keeps me awake.
Brain is flooding with creativity,
Yearning to pour out –
A w a k e.
My dreams are my reality
Mind filled with blissful negativity – awake.
Dreaming of unorthodox fantasies.
Eyes wide open but mind floating in another realm – awake.
Blood flowing
Fingers throbbing
Pulse pumping
Heart skipping
A l i v e.
I fall, I fail but I still strive.
My mind aligned
With stars and planets – unconfined.
Letting go, trying to find
The mysteries of
L i f e.
Are these mysteries meant to be discovered
Are they meant to be uncovered?
Everyone hovers
Till the day reality is
R e v e a l e d.
See, the world we live in
It’s a mere mirage created by oneself.
Lies created to hinder discovery.
Truth buried
Deep, deep down under
Not meant to be
U n c o v e r e d.
The beauty of life that it’s m a j e s t i c
Life blown into our bodies
Temporare - ily
Until the time for departure
A r r i v e s.
We attempt to leave legacies
To be looked upon in history
To be unforgettably
I n c r e d i b l e
To live forever
Forgetting o b l i v i o n is inevitable.

Do you see my red as your words come out?
(I really don’t hope that you do, but I really hope you do)
Do you see the smile while I reach presence?
(I really don’t hope that you do, but I really hope that you do.)
Do you catch my chest double when in front of you breathing?
(a.round.u.)
I really don’t hope that you do, but I really hope that you do
feel the way I find lightness in your sentences while you
just speak about the day.
Do you feel my leg with conscious intent?
(I really hope you do but I know you wouldn’t mean that)
Do you touch me when you laugh for reason?
(I really hope you do, but I know you wouldn’t mean that, would you.)
Do your eyes remind me of mine or is love deceiving
( me ?? )
I really hope they do, but I know you wouldn’t mean that.
While I walk away
While I lie my head
While I wear - ily wake
(I find)
to find your face a hologram
