It's early in the evening but I'm so tired it feels like the late hours of the night. I have a cup of tea in one hand and a cigarette in the other and I can't even look at the stars because they remind me of your eyes.

Just shut the **** up and look at your lover.

Appreciate all of who they are for putting up with you, because you aren’t going to find another.

Don’t question their feelings for you, otherwise they would be somewhere else doing something without you.

Stop worrying about the future, because it hasn’t happened yet; no expectations, no disappointment. It’s unnecessary.

Look at your lover, don’t say a word, and just examine every single aspect of 
them.

Study the hairs on their head, to the pupils on their eyes, the bridge of their nose, and the outline of their lips.

The length of their neck, the shape of their shoulders, the definition of their collar bones, and the skin on their chest.

Love their insides, as much as you love the out. Kiss your lover. Close your eyes, and hug your lover.

Don’t force yourself to understand what you don’t know, just accept and be grateful for the idea that you are loved back by someone whom you look up to.

If they love you, love yourself. For someone to appreciate you for all of who you are. Don’t question why, but see that you should appreciate yourself too; the feeling should reciprocate.

What is there to be jealous of? Who is there to be jealous of? Why is there even a reason to be jealous?

Intertwine your fingers with your lover. Take in this moment, for it can’t be taken back. Breathe, smile, but stay quiet. Hear their heartbeat, and feel their breathe; seeing that another life, another human being is connecting and living well with you. Feel each other’s body heat.

I lesson I have learned is to stop looking back and looking ahead. I have learned to **** the bad vibes that are a cause of worry, expectation, hope, and self-hate.

I have learned that the moment you have now is all that will matter from then on.

This is a lesson I have learned.
I don't know why they say you broke my heart
when really you broke my brain
because my heart keeps beating
but my mind will never be the same

Broken promises you were supposed to keep
stuck in a wave pool with anchors tied to my feet
put my hands up
try to grasp for air
but when I reach the surface I see no one is there
and for a moment I let my hands rest to my side
sinking under, as I let myself disappear with the tide.

It seems I can only get a glimpse of the sun when it comes around
Maybe I am meant to live in a house with the shades all down
But that's what it is, always a house never a home
with the occasional visitor, but inevitably alone

You took a piece of me
just an incomplete puzzle remains
I don't know why they say you broke my heart
when really you broke my brain
I don't want the pain,
of saying your name,
Anymore.
When you come knocking on my door,
How can I implore
You?
I can't listen to music,
Every drug,
I use it.
Every night,
I ***** it.
I drink
I smoke
I cut
I joke
I sleep,
I've woke.
Don't dream.
Please.
Wake up,
Scream.
You're in my eyes
You're in my mind
I can never seem to find
The numbness,
I rub it.
My chest,
The pain.
My heart
is slain.
I'm just a plain jane,
And you're everything.
I've wanted.
I spotted,
You
From across the room.
It's you.
It's always been you,
And I don't know what to do.
The medium which brought us together
  is the only way I know
how to convey to you what's in my heart.
  Since I can't touch you, or speak to you,
or make love to you, I will have to write to you.

To be completely honest, I don't know if
  I have the power to be
who it is you need me to be.

I don't know how to take the shame that's been
  shackled to you like an unexpected visit from KGB,
and help you believe that it's all a lie.

Believe me when I say that I know,
  how unyielding self-loathing can be
especially when there are good things
  pulling you away from that empty place in your heart.

But that's why we found each other I think,
   to prove to one another, that the past
only has the power to keep us locked within it.

I promise you that one day, regardless of our supposed weaknesses,
   that emptiness will be filled, and the light will come back.

Bland statements such as you are amazing
Don't ever qualify how much of a blessing
I find you to be upon me.

Simply being you makes me do everything I can
To better myself in an effort that maybe
I might one day deserve you and everything you do.

All we did was begin to talk again after a break in communication,
And I already find myself more engaged in school
And giving a more dedicated and focused effort on my papers and homework.

It's not even down to trying to build myself into someone who deserves you
But the possibility by doing everything within my capabilities
To become that someone you deserve in return -
That someone who will love you unreserved
And protect you from everything in this world.
my dear, why would you not talk to me
about us, about where 
we'd­ take this now
is it really over, or
 do u just need time
do you ­still need me
or do you just want
 to forget it.

my dear, why am­ i the only one thinking
about us, about how we fix this now
are ­we really done, or do you just want to breathe?
do you still love­ me
or do you not want to care?

i know that it's been so difficu­lt
we've been through a lot of storms
but darling, i didn't mean ­to give up
when it comes to us, i'd always want to work it out
i ­thought you'd do the same, always will give us a chance

baby, i've not been so perfect
but my love is all i can show off
this h­eart of mine belongs to you
and even when you still want to go..
­i wish you'd give us a chance...

let's make this work..again..
c­oz i love you just the same...
