In another universe

in another universe, there is no hurt. There is no pain. My heart stays in soft hands, and doesn't have to decide if it ever wants to feel love again. In another universe, everything I've ever lost wouldn't have claw marks on it, because they'd stay, forever. In another universe, I don't have to find sleep, just so I can find you again, and again, and again. In another universe, you keep my photo ...

.

We dont talk anymore, but i miss you. You probably think im in a bar, when really, im just in my car. Thinking about you, thinking about the number two..and three, and four, and how I know you wanted more. I see your face all around me; my repeats of Serendipity. I hear your voice; this was never a choice. I feel your hands, your skin; why didn’t we win? I remember your scent; god, I wish I could ...

To my muse

Hey you; my handsome button. I haven’t been on my poetry page in quite some time. Looking back at all my writings, i am reminded all of the pain I’ve endured and loops I’ve jumped across, or fell over, per se. Fuck- what a crazy 28 years of life I’ve lived. I’ve moved around some, and experienced some interesting things. Ive learned a lot...about a lot. I’ve felt a lot more than i ever fathomed. I...

Lights

Stop lights.
Flashing. 
Head verses heart. 
you stay stopped. 
But he says go. 
You should go. 
Silly girl, just go.

Painful love

A lot guys hit on you. You post of a lot of pictures. you like attention. Who’s that. where are you. I don’t like that. You’re making me mad. I’m sorry, it won’t happen again. I only did it because you made me upset. It’s only because I love you.

 

Babe?

Acid rain

So many people asked me how I could love such a man. How I could love such a selfish, childish man. And why I kept going back to him. Oh, why did I keep going back. For the longest time, I couldn’t give them an answer, for I had no words. Nothing but pain surfaced when I was asked such questions. Because I loved him, with all of me. 

Then one day, I finally found the words to describe him..and ...

Thank you

Thank you. 

 

Thank you for always treating me as your equal- in all aspects. It makes me feel secure with you.

Thank you for always including me. It makes me feel wanted.

Thank you for keeping me safe and protected- at all costs. It makes me feel loved.

Thank you for always standing beside me- not in front of or behind me. It makes me feel like we’re a team.

Thank you for being ...

To the moon and back

One of my favorite poets, F Scott Fitzgerald, once said 'there are all kinds of love in this world, but never the same love twice'. And that's where we went wrong- where I went wrong, and I blame myself. It's hard to smile today. My whole being is just so sad. Lost. Empty. Lifeless. I've been trying to keep myself busy to get my mind off of you, but nothing helps. Even when I sleep, you're waiting...

You'll always be with me

Lonely. Cold. The air is thick, and it’s hard to see; the weather, or my mind? It’s 3am and here we are again. I know I’ll see you in my dreams once I close my eyes, then wake up drenched in sweat, and ponder on what you’re trying to tell me for the rest of the day. How do I get to you now? I always find you in my dreams, but why am I still searching for you? You’ve given me your all since the day...

For the one who will never love me for me

Here I am, pinned onto your cross of hate.

Each day I feel there’s no more room for you to pound another nail into my body, you find a way. 

Each time you nail me to your cross, hoping to find my soul, you’ve missed.

You won’t break me. 

I will not bow down to your level of petty and spite. 

Maybe you can tell us what it's like to have such a clean closet filled with the cleanest of...

a letter to my soon to be ex husband

Hi there.

 It’s been awhile, a very long while. I am writing you this as I feel it’s something well over due, and you deserve to hear this. First off, I am truly hoping this letter finds you well. What I did to you is not fair. It’s not okay. I am sorry to have put you though all of this. You are too good of a man to have had to feel what I’ve made you endure. I didn’t leave you because you’re ...

You'll know when it's over

You'll know when it's over. You'll feel it good and well in your heart. But if you're really over him as he is you, you'll want to see him happy, and that's okay... we grow apart. He will no longer look at you as if he sees the sun in your eyes. You'll more so just be something, someone, to pass time. You won't feel love through his fingers as he grazes your lonely skin, but more so, a Strangers h...

~

  You lay your hands on both sides of my face, and the room falls away. I have never gotten so lost in a kiss before. And then, the space between us explodes. My heart keeps missing beats as your hands cannot bring me close enough to you. We taste one another, realizing we have been starving. We have loved before, but never any that have felt such as this. We've kissed others before, but none that...

do you follow?

Write me something beautiful

without a single sheet of paper

or the use of a pen.

I want the ink to spill

from your tongue,

as your lips against mine

become the words,

and the fluidity in your hands

create the puncuation.

Our breath will decide the direction,

as our kisses slowly

turn into paragraphs,

allowing the movement

of our bodies

to create the chapt...

I miss you so..

 

Author unknown; posting this here because I found it to be so very beautiful. 

~~I’m an old grey cat letting life slip by,
 Nothing disturbs as I twitch and sigh,
 My silken fur is grizzled and dank,
 My sturdy frame is frail and lank,
 It’s a shadow world as my eyesight dims,
 A bony old cat with creaking limbs,
 But my heart beats strong with a faithful thud
 And I have to say tha...

But, I do love you..

Some people are meant to fall in love with each other, but not meant to be together. Yes, it's true- and it happens. You may even find yourself loving two, or more souls at once. I love you. I always have. Being in love with you when I am in love with someone else is not easy on the soul. But, I do love you, and you know that. & I think you love me, too. I feel like we've always been saving a plac...
