Happy Valentine's Day
When it comes to you, my love
I am overflowed with feeling
But when it comes to writing
Words send my head reeling
I can never put my love for you
Into a cohesive rhyme
Because ever time I look at you
I loose track of all space and time
And even though I dislike this holiday
I just want you to know
You make me feel ecstatic
With all the love you show
My love for you is ever growing
In every single way
You are my world, my everything
Happy Valentine's day
I am overflowed with feeling
But when it comes to writing
Words send my head reeling
I can never put my love for you
Into a cohesive rhyme
Because ever time I look at you
I loose track of all space and time
And even though I dislike this holiday
I just want you to know
You make me feel ecstatic
With all the love you show
My love for you is ever growing
In every single way
You are my world, my everything
Happy Valentine's day

Cancer
No one prepares you for this
The sleepless nights
The holding back of tears
The shear will it takes to not break into a million pieces
No one tells you how hard it is
To see your dad in pain
Too weak to walk
Relying on you to act like everything is fine and normal and will be okay
Of all the things in my life that have brought me to the edge
This is it
This might nearly kill me
A single word that has forever haunted me since it killed my grandfather when I was seven
A scar so deep, it never fully healed
And now it has a hold of...
The sleepless nights
The holding back of tears
The shear will it takes to not break into a million pieces
No one tells you how hard it is
To see your dad in pain
Too weak to walk
Relying on you to act like everything is fine and normal and will be okay
Of all the things in my life that have brought me to the edge
This is it

A scar so deep, it never fully healed
And now it has a hold of...

One Night At A Time
I have many demons
And they love to make themselves known
Particularly at night
When I’m so desperate for sleep
My will to keep them at bay wavers
Too tired to fight back
So I let them in
They grab and pin me down
Make me think of terrible things
Make me feel worthless and a burden
It’s taken many years to stop listening
To stop cutting myself just because they tell me to
It doesn’t get any easier
But I know the guilt would be stronger
So I resist
As much as I desperately want to fall back into my old ways ...
And they love to make themselves known
Particularly at night
When I’m so desperate for sleep
My will to keep them at bay wavers
Too tired to fight back
So I let them in
They grab and pin me down
Make me think of terrible things
Make me feel worthless and a burden
It’s taken many years to stop listening
To stop cutting myself just because they tell me to
It doesn’t get any easier
But I know the guilt would be stronger
So I resist
As much as I desperately want to fall back into my old ways ...

I Miss
I miss being able to rest my hands on your cheeks and staring into your beautiful eyes.
I miss being able to sink into your arms and forgetting about the chaos of the world.
I miss sitting on your bed, wrapping my legs around you, and kissing you like I might never get the chance again.
I miss our adventures and our random comments we say about the world around us.
I miss just being in your presence because you make me smile without even trying.
I miss your smile
I miss your warmth
I miss your hugs
I miss everything
I miss you
I miss being able to sink into your arms and forgetting about the chaos of the world.
I miss sitting on your bed, wrapping my legs around you, and kissing you like I might never get the chance again.
I miss our adventures and our random comments we say about the world around us.
I miss just being in your presence because you make me smile without even trying.
I miss your smile
I miss your warmth
I miss your hugs
I miss everything
I miss you

To My Love-Happy Birthday
I love the way you smile and how it comes so naturally when we are together
I love the way you laugh and how good you are at making me do the same
I love your eyes and how I can see the light and happiness within them
I love all our adventures and how just being with you is the best feeling in the world
I love your excitement every time you see me even if it has only been a few hours
I love all your art and how happy you are to show me the latest piece you made
I love how you break out into song or dance whenever you feel the need
I love when you bring me...
I love the way you laugh and how good you are at making me do the same
I love your eyes and how I can see the light and happiness within them
I love all our adventures and how just being with you is the best feeling in the world
I love your excitement every time you see me even if it has only been a few hours
I love all your art and how happy you are to show me the latest piece you made

Would You Believe
Would you believe me if I told you I never used to smile?
Would you believe me if I said I was a pessimist?
Would you believe me if I told you I used to cry every night?
What if I told you, you make me the happiest I’ve ever felt?
What if I said you make me look at the world through optimistic eyes?
What if I told you, I sleep so much easier next to you?
Would you believe me if I said I was a pessimist?
Would you believe me if I told you I used to cry every night?
What if I told you, you make me the happiest I’ve ever felt?
What if I said you make me look at the world through optimistic eyes?
What if I told you, I sleep so much easier next to you?

Rollercoaster
Some days are emotional rollercoasters
So many ups and downs that they make me physically sick
Extreme highs that always end in me plummeting down farther than before
My head spins with happiness and pain
Both constantly trying to take the reins
Its almost like I have no control
Like I'm on a ride that I just can't get off
I try so hard to find a good middle but when I do, I'm thrown into another curve
And there never seems to be an end
Like I'm cured to ride this thing forever
So many ups and downs that they make me physically sick
Extreme highs that always end in me plummeting down farther than before
My head spins with happiness and pain
Both constantly trying to take the reins
Its almost like I have no control
Like I'm on a ride that I just can't get off
I try so hard to find a good middle but when I do, I'm thrown into another curve
And there never seems to be an end
Like I'm cured to ride this thing forever

Untitled 11/8/20
Why is it that those we love
never realize how much they can hurt us?
Never realize how much power
they hold high above our heads.
Loving them so deeply is our downfall
because the pain they can inflict, hurts more than anyone else.
Seeing the ones you love
fight with each other is hard to bare.
Them, completely oblivious
to those who watch in silence, not daring to interfere.
Why is it that those we love
never stop for a minute and look around?
If they did, they'd see the fear and horror
shown so blatantly in our watering...

My Angel
I want to break into a million pieces
But I look at you
And I know life will get better
It must
I have you in it
That’s all I need
All the stress and the worrying and frustration
Means nothing when I have you to hold me
You’re my light
That keeps me lit
When all I want to do
Is fall into the darkness
You’re the voice that I hear
That drown out the screams
Echoing in my head
Night after night
We dance to the same rhythm
And walk to the same beat
I can’t imagine my life without you in it
All the...

Untitled 10/12/20
I have so many tabs open in my brain
Its hard to focus on one at a time
I try and I try and I try
But I keep getting distracted
Or not fully understanding what I’m doing
Making it even harder to get shit done
I know the work is piling up
And it will only get worse the longer I wait
But I can’t focus
I just don’t understand
My brain wants to just die
I hate that I’m putting this off
But when I try, I don’t comprehend anything
Hours wasted
I don’t have time for this
I need to just focus and get everything done ...
Its hard to focus on one at a time
I try and I try and I try
But I keep getting distracted
Or not fully understanding what I’m doing
Making it even harder to get shit done
I know the work is piling up
And it will only get worse the longer I wait
But I can’t focus
I just don’t understand
My brain wants to just die
I hate that I’m putting this off
But when I try, I don’t comprehend anything
Hours wasted
I don’t have time for this
I need to just focus and get everything done ...

Drowning In Thoughts
I feel like I’m drowning
In a world so hopeless
Like my mind is just plunging deep into the abyss
I feel my lungs fill with water
Making breathing impossible
As my mind spirals farther into the darkness
My body is fighting
But my mind has already given up
Accepting the fact that I can’t reach the surface
Knowing I’m going to drown
Right here
Alone
With nothing but my thoughts
In a world so hopeless
Like my mind is just plunging deep into the abyss
I feel my lungs fill with water
Making breathing impossible
As my mind spirals farther into the darkness
My body is fighting
But my mind has already given up
Accepting the fact that I can’t reach the surface
Knowing I’m going to drown
Right here
Alone
With nothing but my thoughts

Sirens Warmth
Love is like music
Like that one song
Or one band
That makes you dance
And sing
And move
Without even thinking
No matter where you are
Or what you’re thinking about
It hits you at your core
Love is like music
You feel it so deeply
That it’s more than just a song
It’s a feeling of warmth
Of happiness
Of perfection
Like is was written just for you
Love is like music
Even if you know all the words
And every instrument
And every single second
You still play it over and over
Because...
Like that one song
Or one band
That makes you dance
And sing
And move
Without even thinking
No matter where you are
Or what you’re thinking about
It hits you at your core
Love is like music
You feel it so deeply
That it’s more than just a song
It’s a feeling of warmth
Of happiness
Of perfection
Like is was written just for you
Love is like music
Even if you know all the words
And every instrument
And every single second
You still play it over and over
Because...
