And with a single word, our love flickered to life. It started small, like a burning ember in a furnace, but soon it grew into a roaring fire. Every time you say my name, it burns brighter. My heart is on fire with love for you- and I know that no power on this earth could extinguish it.
The darkness takes me
And my eyes feel heavy
Like my heart
Which weighs down
My chest
I knew i had to leave you
When sitting by your side
Began to feel painful
Instead of like home
Strings of lights and
Yellow tapestries
Brighten up my room
In an attempt to hide
The darkened mess
That lurks in the corners
There are so many eyes
Glowing in the dark
Watching me
Waiting until i slip.
It is maddening
The disembodied cackles
Mocking me
Not with words,
But with laughter.
Awaiting my failure
Do you see the eyes?
Do you hear the sounds?
Am i the only one
Who is
Going insane?
In the waves is the truth behind love. It doesn't burn like a fire, or dance like the wind. Love is the rippling, crashing, rising, falling, swaying, never-ceasing tide which crashes against the shores of my heart. Slowly chipping away at the rock-solid armor which protects the person who has been hurt one too many times.
You fell in love
With my black cherry lips
Without the knowledge
Of the pit within
When is the last time
That i thought
For myself?
My mechanical brain
Made of gears and gold
Robotic and cold
I do what im told
And nothing exceeding
What was programed
In my bones
Like how language
Gets jumbled over time,
We became two mouths
Tangled in our misery.
Each meaning the same thing
Yet unable to comprehend
The other.
Are we not both proclaiming love
But losing the feeling
By the tossing and turning
Of borrowed time?
When I saw you, there were butterflies in my stomach.
When I looked away, they became rabid wolves, scratching and eating away at me until I learned that what I was feeling was love
Love is like being lost, then finding yourself at your destination anyway. Love is like forgetting the formula on a math test, but still getting the the answer right. Love is life forgetting your wallet and finding the exact change you need on the ground.
Love is an innocent mistake, that ends up better than you could ever have hoped.
