Love is pain. It burns everything in its path until it is all you can see and all you can feel. Love breaks hearts and destroys souls. It crushes them into fine powder until tears are all that are left. Love is feeling everything and nothing all at once. It can send you soaring one moment and drop you into a dark void of despair the next. Love is putting the other person’s happiness before your own. It means doing what is...

What am I supposed to say When I love you is not enough And I am lost for words? What am I supposed to do With all these unspoken feelings Hidden inside my heart? Take me home with you Hold my heart in your hands Love me more than love can say Entwine my soul with yours. I could be your forever I could be your sweetest dream If only you would look my way. Can you hear my soul Crying out for you? Can you feel the emotions...

I pigeonhole myself in these roles Forcing circles into square holes Pursuing hearts that are unspeakable Clinging onto the unfeasible Contorting to fit their mold Yearning to be worthy enough to hold Breaking every bone in my body In hopes that they’ll find value in me Unable to unshackle myself from this pattern Unable to stop riding the rings of Saturn Swallowing air without oxygen, repressing heartburn While assuring...

early mornings make me wonder if sunlight can still graze your ebony skin though your golden soul has long departed I know I should not be doubting these things but I can't not think of your eternal journey away from me, you see? on the narrow path to heaven can you peer down and see the sinner still roaming earth though God took you from him? He led your love to death and left you to drown with it He wants to end it, eve...

Pretty boy, pretty boy, Why must you tease me so? With those chocolate eyes Staring into my soul? Pretty boy, pretty boy, Are you even real? Did I make you up While in the land of dreams? Pretty boy, pretty boy, Take my hand in yours. Lead and I will follow Wherever you may go. Pretty boy, pretty boy, Hold me in your arms Protect my broken pieces With everything you have. Pretty boy, pretty boy, Am I asking for too much?...

I wish I could tell you The things I hide inside Lay out my broken parts For your eyes to see. I wish I was brave enough To tell you of the pain I feel The agony of being forgotten Too many times to count. I want to tell you everything About who I am and why. I wish you would hold me close Should tears begin to fall. For I need you to see those things And love me just the same.

I saw her again today and my heart leapt into my chest.  I need to know that she'll be a safe place to land when I fall to pieces and that I’m not wasting my time and energy on her because I don’t give out my heart freely anymore. She’s been there when I have needed her the most, and all I want and need is to be able to do the same for her. I know that loving her is unconventional and, to most people, an impossible dream,...

When I think of herThe world fades away.I can feel her skydust eyesStaring deep inside my soul.I want to tell her everything Hidden inside my heartBut all I can do is stare in awe;My breath caught in my throat.She smiled, I meltedI am putty in her hands.It only took a winkA second of our timeAnd it was then I knewOur souls were meant to be.Promise me forever, I murmur And I will not want for anyone else.For she is the one...

  I cannot live without you Nor do I want to try. Can you feel me waiting For our souls to meet? So many things I need to tell you, And other things I wish you knew. How I wish I had the courage To get them off my chest. If I could be where you are, And fate was kind to me, Maybe you would see me For who I am inside.

How desperately he wished he understood her, The elusive lady who had stolen his heart, But every time he thought she was within his grasp Once more she seemed to vanish into the shadows, Leaving him to flounder in the darkness of doubt. There were many times when the flame of her presence Burned so intensely it threatened to consume him; Days and nights when they rode on a wave of passion, Carrying him aloft on a tide of...

The river slowly slipped between banks of dappled green,Oblivious to the noisy world of men,The sibilant sound of its sojourn among the reedsLike kisses in the air or the swish of skirts,Its comforting sussuration, gentle counterpointTo the clamour of my wildly beating heart.In its long journey from the excitement of its birthLong ago in the cool of alpine meadows,It must have heard many similar stories to mine,The longin...

Staring at my own reflection The face revealed is dead inside Eyes have become cold and shallow The spirit that lived there has died I've let you do this to me There’s no one to blame but myself Believing in what should be love I put my own life on a shelf You took all I had to offer And gave it a sly little nudge But it wasn’t you loving meFor it’s only you that you love There is nowhere to go now but up Since there’s no...

You may not know  for I won’t tell just how much you've cast your spell  Stolen moments borrowed time shared jokes happy lines  Thoughts of you makes my heart race awake and alone I imagine your face  With just your presence makes me feel anew for all I want is a moment with you  Each word you sketch a perfect reflection who can blame those that steal your affection  So this game we play you lead and I follow while with y...

The rhythmic, pounding bass and the horns of the Imperial March made her sit up, frantically searching for the phone in the dark. Her hand brushed against something cold, and then she heard the crashing sound of the water glass falling to the floor.“Shit,” she mumbled, as she finally wrapped her shaking hand around the phone.She was panicking that she was going to miss him. Only one person on her phone had that ringtone,...

Inspired by the Grass Roots Song: Midnight Confessions She saunters to the table, wearing that little black dress that she knows I love to see on her. Her smile tells me that the drink in her hand isn’t her first. It’s comfortable, relaxed, happy, and not just a little flirtatious. The music in the background is soft, but evident and her hips sway unconsciously to it’s rhythm. “Are you just going to sit there all night? O...
