I need so much to lay next to her, to hold her hands and talk about everything.
I need to make her smile and give her kisses on her cheek.
I need to kiss her lips and run my hands up her sides
and to pull her close to me.
I need to fall asleep with her in my arms, knowing that once and for all, everything is going to be okay.

I need to be worthy of her.
To amaze her with the love I can give to her.
Allow me to ruin her expectations that she could have
for anyone else.

It hurts so much to be separated.
Our souls are connected. I believe they always have been.
We have lived a thousand lives and we have always found
one another in each of them. Maybe each time we've been forced apart for the same reasons.

I sometimes ask myself why do we have what we have?
Why do we love?
What power would allow us to love so deeply if it were not meant to be and so right to do so?
We both know deep down in our hearts we were meant to be together and have been throughout time.

We live with the ache and sadness that comes with how things are right now and we pray for the strength to endure. To have the patience to continue to believe and keep hope alive in our hearts.

I ask Him to forgive the sinner that I am and to please guide me to the peace I pray to have one day. To see the price I have paid in my life and all that I have given up in my attempt to be a good woman. I ask for mercy and to allow me the love I never thought I would find in my lifetime.

I believe we all deserve that one true love that was meant to be, That one soul that connects perfectly with another. No matter what we go through in our lives, I believe that connection will always exist. Its only up to us to be fortunate enough to find it in our lifetime. I hope we can all find it this time around.

I went to the store today,
you weren't there.

I hope you're well,
that things are good.

Life is bad, worse, here.

Mine.

It's always dark out
and I'm so sorry anymore.

I tried my best to stay sane.
Love you.

I long for love
Like a drowning lung
Longs for air
Longs to breathe

Need someone to
Fill this lonely
Black heart
Call it home

Ignite my dying soul
Spark the fire
That powers our
Endless love

Want a constant
Which never changes
Despite the harsh and cruel
Reality of life

Have to fill this
Undying vacancy within
My emty heart
Give me life
She was confusion in abundance
and it almost always weighed her down,
when you’re heavy and you’re slow,
you forget to look around.

You think that you’re the only one human
and everyone else is made of stone,
you think your heart’s the only one beating,
that you’re the only one flesh and bone.

In her constant pursuit of meaning
she forgot some simple things,
she forgot to look for depth in men,
so convinced they were all just flings.

When you ask her what she lives for
she’ll tell you, “Nothing much,”
it’s really sad to see that

she’s become her own biggest crutch.

Did you melt for me?

Did you burn and break down every time I touched you?

Because I did.

When they say
We’re a perfect match

They don’t realize
Matches burn.

So don’t wax poetic for me
Because I fall
To inferno.

Today my friend told me
I was acting strange
I gave her the
excuse
of a sugar high
But really,
...
I was just being
myself

when a poet falls in love with you
you can never die
they will notice the way
you rub your palms and look down
when someone is angry at you
and the way you smirk
as you pull away from a kiss

they will notice how you can't sleep
without your body touching someone else's
how you never crease any pages of books
and how you close your eyes when you dance in your kitchen
with your record player on

they will find all of the words
that they see you as
and turn them into something beautiful

people say you die twice
once when you stop breathing
and when someone says your name
for the last time

if you fall in love with a poet
they will never stop
mentioning your name
you will be alive
for eternity
