Socks on Christmas

I was never someone to win, I always gave myself before anyone had the chance to try

Breaking

You're strumming the strings of my heart

But music isn't playing

Invisible

I know you see me
I know you know I'm here
Why are you treating my like I'm anyone
I'm supposed to be your everyone

Common Knowledge

If you feel something strong, don't you want to show it? Don't you want to let it out? Share it and bestow it? Why would you want to hide it? Why do you hide me?

I wonder why God made you
flawless in my eyes
Why when I look at you, I see raw
beauty
Why I see a home in your eyes and
a haven in your lips.
I wonder, but I never question.

Falling in Falling out

One day I'll be there and
our lives will begin.
But, please, don't waste
a single second wishing
for time speed by.
The moment we are
in each other's arms,
our hourglass is placed
down.

Ocean Level

Once, every breath, I devoted to you.
          my lips belonged to you
          my touch
          my glance
          my smile
          my being, all belonged to you.
Now, I don't know you.
Now, I'm breathing fine.

Addition of Subtraction

I never
wrote about
love with him.

I find it hard to write 

about anything 

but love now.

I Cannot Lie to My Pen,

my heart is terrified of the goodbye in hello.

The Lucky Ones

It must be nice to run to him
It must be nice to taste his smile on your lips
to be so close you can feel his words crash on your face
to not be able to go two seconds without touch
to be looked at that way
to be so needed, to matter
to have your worries poured out of you with each breath he takes
to drown in his ocean of passion
to feel complete with all of your soul
to have a sense of purpose
to know.
It must be nice.

The Solace Surprise

We both found a way to heal in each other. We found medicine in each other's words. We found solace in each other's companion and eventually our wounds healed almost unnoticeably. But something we never saw coming, what we never anticipated, was the love we found in one another.

Aftermath

We have yet to share time together
But I can't stop worrying about
What we are going to do
When our time is spent
And our hearts are swollen of
Affection

Rare

What we are is something so far from real and normal,

that it makes what we have so abnormally real.

The Ever in For

I wish I had the words to say that would show you how much you mean to me
without scaring you
without putting a label
but anything I want to say is too serious
for two young kids in love,
for two young kids so far away
from where they need to be.

A Different Pain

And if I don't seem like myself lately,
I'm sorry.
But being me means loving you,
You, who makes me wonder
if I'm doing something wrong
if I'm the reason for your coldness.
So if being someone else means
I can love you from a safe, painless distance
Then I can't be me.
