The Christmas Star
Seven point star
For the seven types of love
It hangs over the manger
to show
The unbreakable love between parent and child
the love that drives you from town to town
the kind of love that draws in strangers
love that saves you and gives you an eternal home
the Agape love; the divine love of god
the brotherly love that gives you a forever family
love that makes you desire to bow down and praise the baby Jesus
For he is the star of Christmas
let me know what you think in the comments below! :)

Broken Trust
Broken trust and baseball love
I have this trust, but its broken.
Hurt me one more time, turn it to rubble
Ruins beyond repair
“I don't want to hurt anyone.” comes out of your mouth
Actions say “ill hurt everyone for a good time.”
Indecisive
That's what you are
I made my choice, it was you
I'm rethinking that now
I should listen to people who really care
Not people that use me as a fuck toy.
“Fuckboy, fuckboy.” that's what they say
But i don't want it that way
You say you love me, as we sneak around
But cant say it...

Don't Feel Too Good
Maybe I don’t feel too good
Because when I look at myself
I only see the darkness
So why are other people blinding?
Maybe I don’t feel too well
Because when I question myself
I only find the worst answers
So why does everyone else have a cheat sheet?
Maybe I don’t know anymore
Because I have a knot in my stomach
And it never goes away
So why does everyone feel so good?
Maybe I don’t feel happiness
Because I lost all feeling long ago
And only try to feel pain
So why do you have love?
Maybe I want to die ...
Because when I look at myself
I only see the darkness
So why are other people blinding?
Maybe I don’t feel too well
Because when I question myself
I only find the worst answers
So why does everyone else have a cheat sheet?
Maybe I don’t know anymore
Because I have a knot in my stomach
And it never goes away
So why does everyone feel so good?
Maybe I don’t feel happiness
Because I lost all feeling long ago
And only try to feel pain
So why do you have love?
Maybe I want to die ...

I Was You
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Time goes by
And I miss you
Just like me
The flowers grew
But soon they wilted
Just like you
You were sweet
This I knew
Like an addiction
I loved you
Now the roses are dead
The violets are too
The garden's all gone
And so are you
Your flowers died
I did too
Because all along,
I was you...

Read My Mind
If you could read my mind,
You’d see a thousand papers
Filled with broken poetries
And deadbeat proses
Full of woeful verses
With mournful pieces
Of unfinished stories
That are yet to be written
And failed to be spoken;
If you could read my mind,
You’d hear horrible screams
And ear splitting weeps
From shattered dreams,
Kept in a nasty notepad,
Scribbled on a bed
Of bloodstained words,
Ringing in my head.
If you could read my mind,
You’d see the shadows
That lurk within me;
You’d hear the...
You’d see a thousand papers
Filled with broken poetries
And deadbeat proses
Full of woeful verses
With mournful pieces
Of unfinished stories
That are yet to be written
And failed to be spoken;

You’d hear horrible screams
And ear splitting weeps
From shattered dreams,
Kept in a nasty notepad,
Scribbled on a bed

It feels nice to feel okay

Love
If there was anything I ever wanted
It would be to not be consumed by
A lover
More than by the love of the self.

Best Friends In Love
Can we be best friends in love dear
Can we grow old together?
I wanna be by your side for years and years to come
Can we fall like feathers
Falling softly for one another
I wanna be here for you through the good and the bad my love

It's ok
Since then I feel smaller,
Like half a person,
There’s a reason people call people their other halves.
The tears rock me like an earthquake and it physically hurts.
Everywhere I go it’s music, and food and terms of phrase,
Screaming your name.
Like the world wants me to be in pain.
My bed is way too big just for me but I don’t want it full unless it’s full of you.
I think I took for granted the beauty of normal life with you in it.
The worst part is I can’t even tell you how much I miss you,
Because you’re healing too.
That’s okay.

I am theirs and they are mine
I Am Theirs, And They Are Mine
My heart ached and I felt less than good enough,
They assured me I would conquer the world.
I was angry and bitter,
They wiped away my tears.
I blamed them for my misfortune,
And they took it.
They carried my baggage for years,
And loved me right through it.
All of my accomplishments,
They were there.
They taught me strength.
When i look in their eyes,
I see only love.
They picked me up when i felt defeated.
They loved me for me,
When I couldn’t love myself.
I...

EROTIC POEM

Sun-Daze
Calloused fingertips
trace the silhouettes
of smooth, contrasting thighs.
They navigate rounded hips
with familiar fascination.
Inhalations whisper of longing.
The breaths catch...
while fingers orchestrate
an exhaled symphony of moans.
Let me know what you guys think in the comments! :)

Okay
If there was one word
One word, isolated by itself
That I cannot stand above all others
It would have to be "Okay"
I despise "Okay"
"Okay"
Is how your millionth day at work went
"Okay"
Is off-brand raisin bran
"Okay"
Is how you say school is going
When you don't want to admit you spend
Every second of it
Wanting to die
"Okay"
Is packed to the brim with
Hidden implications
Like a treasure chest
Filled with bottles
With little subliminal hatreds
Written on tiny slips of paper ...
