The Liking Game
WordsOfLoved Aug 2013
I seem to be the master at this game
always out liking someone
I dive it with high expectations and end with them crashing down into the dirt
because I always out like
You liked me, I liked you
you stopped liking me eventually, but I didn't stop liking you
I win, you lose.
You'd think winning is a sweet victory
but winning this game ends in nothing but sad nights
I win, you lose.
I'll stay on the phone, content with just listening to our silence and you did too
for a while
I win, you lose.
I'll go out of my way to see you
you'd go when it was convenient
I win, you lose.
I keep the same feelings
while yours wither
ha,
I win. you lose.
All connections break because you simply
don't feel it anymore
I win,
you lose.

Water For Miles
WordsOfLoved Jun 2013
I soil the un-rippled surface as I break through it. I feel the cold water touching every inch of my numb body. As the water envelopes me, I sink.
Without a care I motionlessly fall. Staring at the once close surface of the water, now slowly getting farther from my reach.
Every second that passes a twinge of pain slices in my chest. A feeling of regret. Every second that I sink down into this oceans deep, dark, un explored grounds I get farther away from the chance of changing my mind. But I am sure of myself.
At least I was when I jumped.
My eyes scan the last of the light that I see coming from the surface of this endless water. My lungs begin to scream for air. My body is tempted to thrash around and panic, but in my mind I am as calm as ever.
Still, slowly sinking. Little bubbles begin to escape my mouth without my condolence. I watch as some of the little bubbles make their way up to the surface, dancing a sick dance of victory.
I being too slowly fade in and out of my thoughts. More bubble escape. I become more aware of  the cold water that surround me.
Caressing my bare skin, calming me. Holding me. Doing what no one ever did.
In my last seconds of life I look around in the dark water unable to make out what I see and I silently say my goodbyes to the only thing in my company, the vast ocean.

Timeless Thoughts and Wishes
WordsOfLoved Jun 2013
As the clouds clear away, the grass takes a drink of the new found water
the air smells of crisp oxygen and the land brightens its glow
the pond ripples as droplets from this dead tree fall down into the water, ever so slightly breaking the surface
I sit here, in the dead sturdy branches of this tree; overlooking the entire landscape that is before me
letting out a long held breath, I let my imagination wonder
as I vacantly watch the little droplets plummet into the pond I find myself wondering what it would be like being that delicate drop of rain
castigating down to the vast world of water,  finally becoming part of something bigger, disappearing forever, fading away into everything around me
With a sigh I let my thoughts wonder elsewhere, unsure of what my imagination can dream up next, but I let it run free and wait with anticipation. . .
after what seems like ages I realize that the clouds are back
the dark, menacing clouds
thunder rumbles so hard I can feel it inside my chest, shaking me to my core
I should leave. . .
But I don’t
I always seem to stick around for the bad stuff, before I can get my train of thought back, it starts
hitting me like small daggers
the cold little droplets pierce my skin and sting as if they were fire
It falls harder, gradually picking up speed
eventually the lightning starts,
now I regret staying
but alas
I still stay
I watch as bright instantaneous flashes of light crash to the ground, forcing entry into the earth’s surface, damaging the lovely landscape one strike at a time.
eventually the storm beings to calm, as do my thoughts
when the storm is long gone I find myself watching the little droplets plunge into the pond again everything is has returned to being peaceful
with every droplet that falls, so does my anxiety and my perception of time

The Wee Hours We Spend
WordsOfLoved Jun 2013
Oh how we smile at the 3 am chats we share
I am always wrapped in your big long sleeve fishing shirt with my legs bare
while you rest in ratty long PJ pants and a random shirt

When the chatting stops, in comes the lovers banter
you're stronger than me?
oh so you think, and oh so I know
but we still wrestle, laughing all the while

Once you've won I battle you in a war of kisses
and at this, I always win
because my love, this is not about strength
I show you my feelings through pressed lips, as do you

then come the cuddles
the sweet but smothering cuddles
where we can connects our heart beats and breaths
lulling ourselves to sleep with the simple sound of us

Finger Painted Love Marks
WordsOfLoved Jun 2013
When we were kids we would trace pictures on each others back and see if we could guess what the other person drew
now, years later, we find our self in the same situation
but with a few twists
in place of our old childish clothes we have sheets
sheets that enclose and envelop us and our entangled bodies
pulling us close and near as we stroke our warm fingers over each other
drawing whatever we please
but now, we are not just confined to each others back
and I prove this as my fingers dance up along your ever so familiar arm towards your neck and down onto your chest
with my fingers I genitally caress the unspoken, invisible words of love into your skin
everywhere my fingers trail I've come to know and love, to have and to hold
your body is a canvas that I will continue to leave my finger painted love marks on for now
and forevermore

The Song of Sheets
WordsOfLoved Jun 2013
What beautiful music we make when we are alone
whispering sweet nothings into each others ear
laughing at the drunk smiles we have plastered on our face
our hungry hands met our needy body's
nights like this, covered in nothing but sheets and each others loving embrace
from head to toe we are tangled up
my long curls fall all around your face
you bush them away with a light laugh
making my face flame with a blush
these late night wrestling matches always end in fits of giggles by me
and you with your head thrown back letting out a long held laugh
but in the end, we always wake just how we fell asleep
tangled and intertwined
underneath these sheets
which holds all of the happenings of the previous night
all of our smiles, laughs, lustful words, and lovers secrets
WordsOfLoved Jun 2013
You're standing on a bridge
over looking the never ending water that is the ocean
you watch as the waves viciously pummel over one another
thrashing about as the rain falls like bullets
slapping the water
the lightning and thunder sound in the distance
It's the perfect night
no one is around to stop you
everyone is safe in their home trying to out wait this wicked storm
wind goes racing by, pulling my hair with it, trashing it about to where is slaps your face repeatably  
you walk closer to the bridges railing, closing your eyes and ******* in the cold air slowly
prepping yourself for what you're about to do
you clear your thoughts to where your mind is blank
finally reaching the bridges railing your cold hands meet the cold bridge and you laugh at the irony
that this cold hard metal you are feeling in some way represents you
for a few moments you stand and just absorb the cold metal into your skin
you soon find yourself moving without knowing
your body is so overwhelmed with the want of relief
that it's moving for your own good, avoiding what your mind and heart have to say
it doesn't care any longer
you feel the strength in your arms as you lift your entire body to now sit on the bridges railing
you slide your feet over the edge, dangling them down into what seems to be an eternity of a fall
eyes closed and body slowly but sure sliding forward
you scream
you let it out, what you've been holding in for years
all the pain and heart ache and troubles
the things that no one wanted to listen to
and then the tears come, rapidly streaming down your cheeks
Your raise one of your hands to slap them away and as you do
you
fall

In the opposite direction that you wanted
you fall back onto the bridge
and into the grasp of person
they draw you into their hold
they cradle you, like no one ever has
you open your eyes and look around, the storm still going steady
you turn your face to the stranger that has saved you
and without realizing it
the tears start again and you you not able to catch your breath for now you are brutally sobbing
through chocked cries
you
thank
them

Red Sting Of Fate
WordsOfLoved Aug 2013
This thin and feeble looking red string hangs from my left ring finger
oh how I've worn this sting
for years and years
It's tattered state makes me worry but maybe it is a sign that soon
I will be able to take this sting off because I have met where it ends
My lover is connected
Someone, somewhere
At night I lay in bed and twirl the string between my fingers
lacing and intertwining it where my loves fingers should be
I give it a tug, dreaming I'll feel a tug back
but I never do, so like every night I fall into a dreamless sleep
and time passes as it always does
one early morning, I stir
suddenly jolted awake by the feeling of something being ripped from my finger
jumping out of bed in my over sized shirt
desperately trailing my end of this red sting
that is being tugged towards my door
I manage to catch it and slip it on its familiar home, and my finger doesnt feel naked anymore
the sun is peaking through the windows with the hustle and bustle of the outside world pouring into the cracked window
I never thought this thump would thump as my aching heart does every night
I reach my door, full of curiosity and wonder
opening it, I see the UPS man and as I'm used to
I let out a sigh
I'm handed my package and I sign for it
closing the door I sadly retreat back to my loving bed
and then I hear a muffled thump on my door
the door opens
and in steps the UPS man
smiling a stunning smile and having a look of purpose set in his green eyes
first I was alarmed but then when I felt the red sting slip off my finger and trail up to the man standing in front of me, all the fear disappeared
as he slipped my end of the sting on his left ring finger to finally make the connection to the it's missing partner
to my missing partner
to my
found partner

Four Words
WordsOfLoved Jun 2013
I simply ask you these four words
but you stutter and flush as I spit them out to you
your eyes nervously dart around the room, making contact with everything except me
your fingers begin to dance around each other in angst
I eventually become uneasy, seeming to know your answer even before you do
I repeat these four words again
in hopes you may hear them this time, in hopes you may form words with your lips and give me a reply
tears begin to well up in your now sad green eyes that now make contact with mine
your fingers unravel from one another and make there way to my shoulders
you shift your stance to a defeated posture
I feel every last finger of yours grip my skin, leaving invisible imprints where they lay
your mouth begins to tremble as you finally break my suspense with your words
"No," you say,
"I can't love you."

The Dancing Ceiling
WordsOfLoved Aug 2013
a cry
a shriek
a silent scream
a impulse to quit
you lay still, and alone on the floor
the darkness of the room seems to caress your ever so loud thoughts
shushing them into a peaceful plead
you start to rock
swaying your body to the beat of your steady slowing heart
your cold fingers twist and grip around your arms
hugging you like no one ever did
the ragged breaths start to emerge as panic sets in
pieces of hair begin to stick together, a cold sweat bonding them
this whole time your eyes are open
they are trained on the ceiling
you choke out a laugh
looking at the ups and downs the ceiling seems to take
moving as if it was the surface of water being disturbed by a little pebble
your vision is swimming
your mind is swimming
you are submerged
you
are
drowning

Everything I never wanted
WordsOfLoved Aug 2013
It was a wild white flower tucked behind her ear
and her love tucked between my heart and mind
she was wrong for me
she was what I know I needed to stay away from
she was pure sin
that drew me in like soft music playing in an old empty motel
her eyes promised me destruction
her touch gave me satisfaction
her words gave me a rebellious hope

You Shall
WordsOfLoved Jul 2013
Undress my mind
stumble through the twisting and winding maze of my inner desires
peel back the external to reveal the internal
figure out the parts of me that I refuse to explore
map out my heart
know its reason for beating
trace the blue blood filled veins that stretch along my body
capture me with words
impress me with puzzles
stun me with expectations

Home is where the heart is?
WordsOfLoved Nov 2013
I find you so breathtakingly beautiful
the smallest things about you
like how you're hair has a mind of its own
the few scattered freckles on your face
the way you walk
and the way you're fingers intertwine with each other as you wait for something
how you're flaws are nothing but perfection
this way of thinking scares me
because I can love your little things effortlessly
but how can I love someone else to no end but not even have a beginning for myself

White
WordsOfLoved Jun 2013
It is the color of me, it is the color of you.
It is what stands for wholesomeness, goodness, purity.
Our whole relationship is painted in this color.
It is the color I see when I look into your eyes, the color that threatens to leave us sometimes.  
It’s the color of our strong will.
The color of our better knowing.
It will be the color of my dress as I walk down the aisle.
It is the color of our love.

Yet Another Twisted Cliché
WordsOfLoved Jun 2013
They say, once you start loving yourself you invite other people to love you in return
but as I stand here, staring at myself in this godforsaken mirror
I am confused
where do I start "loving" myself
do my start with the tired bags under my eyes
or my seemingly large pores
how about my blemished skin
or the scare above my right eyebrow
I'm not asking to be perfect, no
I am comfortable with my flaw ridden face
but as soon as I step in public
the people, they are not
they have something to say
something to point out
but I do love myself
I just get that confused with people telling me I shouldn't
telling me I should adjust myself in order to appease their eyes
but whose eyes are the ones that look back in the mirror?
they are mine
and that's what matters
Love yourself, and you will be loved in return
ha, in this society?
I think not.

We Can't Stay
WordsOfLoved Jun 2013
Hand me that bottle
put it to my lips
you just want to watch me burn
I can't love you anymore
intoxicate my thoughts
so I don't think
of what we're losing
so I don't come to reality
let me sleep
lie me down
tuck me in
and say your farewell
because
I'm not yours anymore

My Ever Living Fear
WordsOfLoved Aug 2013
Love scares me
Anything that makes me happy
Scares me
Emotions
Terrify
Me
Once you feel any of these
It's all down hill
Just hurt, hurt and more hurt
Not knowing when it's going to strike
The fear of always having to be on your toes
Because if you're not
It'll hit you like a bomb
Blowing up your future intentions, expectations and realizations
Of love

The Vocabulary of Love
WordsOfLoved Jun 2013
If I could capture your beauty with words then I would
although I know I never will
but I will die trying
because you,
you deserve it.

You deserve to painted before me with words of love and awe
but adenotting you with words of description
is like trying to sing without vocal cords
impossible

Oh how you do words justice
I know see, the meaning of some
because of you

you have showed me the vocabulary of the inner soul
the vocabulary of *love

Can You Feel It?
WordsOfLoved Jun 2013
Can you feel it?
It radiating off your body
The joy and the happiness has finally come
You can breathe now
That sigh of relief you have been holding in, can now be set free
As your breathe escapes your lips you close your eyes and stand still
Feeling the weight lift off you
Your hands are trembling, your mind is uneasy, but you are sure, you ready…
Take the step
The step you are unsure of, yet have your entire faith in
It’s time
As the last morsel of relief leaves you
Pause
But don’t think
Just act
Act with all your emotions, let them lead you
Trust them
You cannot fail yourself
This overwhelming feeling is leaving your body, but somewhere deep inside you don’t want it to leave You don’t want to part from it
but in the end you crave this sense of release
You are finally letting yourself
Break...
Crack...
Fall apart...
And it never felt so good
So right
When thoughts creep into your mind
let them fall
shatter
like the shattering of a broken window, the shards of glass falling to the ground in triumph
Success
As you picture this glass, the glass that is you, fall to the ground, awaiting its destiny to meet its final demise
You can’t help but
Smile
Because you know, you know that’s it’s finally all over
You can’t be held back anymore
Once this shatters
  you
will
be
  *free

The Color Red
WordsOfLoved Jun 2013
It is the color that pulses through my veins to my beating heart
It is what bubbles inside me when I feel your delicate, loving touch
It is the color that threatens to invade my face when you whisper the words “I love you”
It is the trace that your lips leave as they dance all over me
It is the color that takes over your eyes when we fight
It is the color of the flowers you send me afterwards
It is the color I would spill for you, if ever needed
It is the color that is us
It is the color of love
It is the color
Red

Words, Words, Words
WordsOfLoved Jun 2013
Words hold a power that not many people take heed of
Words can
make
or break
you
Words, if the right kind, can make you feel feelings that are
new and exciting
but with the good comes bad
Words also have the power to
scar
damage
and
hurt
you
words, words, words
that's all they really are
but with every word comes a
underlying meaning
of that, you may not know at first
this in a way shows how words are puzzles
fitting the right ones together to get the perfect outcome
while some poeple jam words together hopeing they will fit, when all along they were not meant to
words, words, words
what more can they be
besides simply
*everything

Dear Future Lover
WordsOfLoved Jun 2013
My greatest wish is for you to love me as much as I will love you
you see, I know how capable of love I am
I know this according to all the times I've had it ripped away and stolen from me
I've always been the one that was left
The one that was forgotten
Simply because I loved to easily, willingly, and wholeheartedly
Loving without limits comes with a price
A price I always pay with pleasure in the beginning
Then weep over in the end
Dear Future Lover- I wish for you to love me forever, without waver
Because I know without a doubt
I have and always will have a love like that for
you

aliven my senses
oh my love
just wake me up

Why'd You Let Me Believe?
WordsOfLoved Jun 2013
Why would you paint false images in my head
giving me hope
water my dreams with your soon forgotten promises
you never intended to put your words to truth, did you?
why would you lead someone on like that
I played out a million scenarios of us in my mind
laughed and smiled as if it were real
and now you speak to me, just because you saw me in public that day
why open an old wound I had to mend on my own

— The End —
