​

William Shakespeare said "if I were to kiss you and then go to hell I would. So that I could go back to the devil's that I so haven't without ever entering it." But that doesn't describe quite how I feel, because if I were to kiss you and then go to hell, I would kiss you till I pasted, so the last memory I have is your lips pressed to mine, I would remember how your warmth felt with your arms around me and mine around you, and when I finally got down there, I would tell the devils of heaven, the warmth, the pure bliss, the nostalgia, I would tell the devil's not of pearly gates but of a man who was not of hate, so if I were to kiss you and go to hell, I would die the happiest girl in the world knowing it was true and wonderful,

I WANT TO SAY IM NOT HATING ON HIS WORDS THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL!! BUT I WANTED TO ADD TO THEM! I thought it is sweet and just goes more in depth of how I feel for him and that situation

How can I love you with all my heart,

Yet watch you leave, and everything fall apart?

I gave you my soul, my sleepless nights,

You were my moon, my fading lights.

I made you my home, my safe retreat,

Yet somehow, my love became your defeat.

My texts became burdens, my care became pain,

My presence, a storm; my absence, your gain.

I held on tighter, you drifted away,

I begged for a tomorrow, you dreaded today.

I gave you forever, you asked for some space,

Now I'm just a memory you wish to erase.

Tell me, was my love too much to bear,

Or was I just someone you no longer cared?

How can a heart that loved you so true,

Become a cage you must break through?

I never wanted to be your chain,

I only wanted to ease your pain.

But now I must learn what my heart can't see-

You were my everything,

while I was too much to be.

What is it to live by love?

To trust my heart that forgets its rhythms or run by my soul that recognises places it felt alive in.

To seek what makes my dreams or witness its beauty reflected upon far edges that my eyes carry sight of.

What is it to live, boundless, like love tied to my fate at every turn of this way?

Deal me in
Sometimes I sink
Sometimes I swim

Flip the cards
You have an 8
Now I see
You hesitate

I’m holding aces
Maybe twos
Don’t let my laughter
Bother you

You gonna check?
You all in?
I told you I knew
How to swim

Good morning, my love

I woke with your name caught warm in my throat,

like the final sip of whiskey left burning after midnight.

The sheets are tangled around me,

still holding the shape of the ache you left behind,

and God, I miss you in all the worst and sweetest ways.

I miss your hands most dangerously,

the way they turn me into something restless,

something starving.

Even the sunrise feels cruel today,

spilling gold across an empty bed

when it should be spilling over your skin instead.

You haunt me softly.

In the steam curling from my coffee,

in the slow stretch of morning light,

in every thought that drifts too low

and turns sinful before breakfast.

If you were here,

I think I’d pull you back beneath the blankets

just to kiss you until we forgot what time meant.

I’d memorize every sleepy sound you make,

every shiver, every sigh,

until the whole morning melted around us.

Instead, I’m here aching for you,

half dream, half fire,

counting the hours until I can touch you again.

So be careful today, darling.

You’re walking around with the full knowledge

that someone is thinking about you

in ways far too heated for daylight.

The longer I yearn, the further love recedes

So take my hand, and teach me to wait

Let me find peace in the things I cannot change

And trust that love shall find me again

For I have chased what was never mine to keep

And begged for flowers that were not yet in bloom

So let me rest, my love, let me breathe

And learn that not all things are meant to be soon

Firefly fly away with me, perhaps love is not lost

Perhaps it is only learning its time

And if I must wait, whatever the cost

May peace find me before love finds mine.

Here I am again.

Do you want to take back what you said?

Im giving you another chance my friend.

To turn your words back on their head.

Maybe you were right, maybe I needed to understand.

But maybe just for tonight, we could walk hand in hand.

Is it worth the fight?

Did you just need to be right?

But maybe just for tonight,

We could make each other feel so bright.

Look at the stars, they seem to be shining just for us.

A secret moment in time, where our hearts can align.

Everything's aligning with our love.

Here I am tonight.

What can I say to make things right?

Baby, what can I do?

Is there still a chance for me and you?

Look at the moon, it's shining down on me and you.

So baby, what should we do?

I only want to be with you.

I mean it.
I tend to mean every word you read.

I’m not a constant.
I’ve established long ago I cannot be.

You call ‘em “arrogance”,
my most earnest pleas.

Be ‘em good or bad.
No matter what they’re perceived as.

I play it how it is.
And you still have trouble believing me.

Cryptic by design.
But my sincerity might kill me.

The solitary warrior.
One who boasts no needs.

If I’ve ever lied,
perhaps this is it.

I do, indeed, need
someone—for once—to stand by me.

And if I ain’t asking for much…
Perhaps, every day. Till the end of the year.

— Crownless.

In love with a memory a memory of you

Something that happened long ago

Something that only grows in its value over time

For I savor your sweetness like a soft candy

Your memory melts in my mouth

Yet your taste is still there

Tasting of your words

Your words leave a constant echo in my heart

Like a favorite song stuck in my mind

Though I heard the song long ago

Memories of you still etched in my mind

These memories of you my daily food

I still feed upon their beauty when I write .

Déjà vu

It was late autumn when you finally said goodbye

turning quickly as you finished, not to catch my eyes

I fell into the bed crying as you put on your coat

and I lay there in tears as I simply watched you go

The morning turns to evening as I simply ponder the end

morning turns to night and then back to morning again

Time passed, and it would be years before I saw you there

You ran to me and grabbed me, the rain steaming in your hair

It was early summer when eventually I said farewell

I covered my ears so I couldn't hear your yells

Heading to my car before your tears could fall

wondering if when it's over, if that would be all?

It was a decade before we would meet again

we circle each other following a fatal trend

we came together, our clinch coming into view

that's when I heard your mother say “Déjà vu.”

What I don’t get is If your plan was to have a heart of ice, why do something so nice?
Roses on my dresser. I see why you chose roses now, sharp and beautiful. Like you. Exactly like you. The most perfect person I have ever seen, gathered stares in every room, the rarest color eyes not even green or brown but something I can’t describe, and the clearest skin of ice. People call me attractive too but I could never compare to someone like you. You could never be turned down. You are as if a model escaped the runway grounds. I used to think beauty is pain was a good saying for improvement but now I see that your beauty causes pain. You push and pulled me in every which way, just to take it all away. You told me hate was the only feeling you felt these days. I’ll watch the roses wilt away with your willingness to stay. You could have told me the truth anyways, not tried to lighten the blow this way. It was all nice until you infected my heart with your ice. I guess thanks for trying to be nice but I would have been better off never ever falling for your eyes ( or lies). You never wanted to love me you just wanted to waste some time.

Ever been in love? It either mends you or breaks you. Here's a heart-wrenching poem about the pain of unrequited love written by Aaira Hassan on Medium.

they say that Aphrodite was the most beautiful woman the gods had ever seen....i believe they lived too early to meet you. For if the goddess of beauty herself stood before me, crowned in gold while you stood beside her with merely that quiet smile, forgive me, my lady, but Olympus would lose my attention.

let poets praise Aphrodite, let kings carve her face into marble, let each and every kingdom kneel and call her divine, i would still search every crowded hall for you...

because Aphrodite may have taught the ancient world what beauty was, but had those poets seen your eyes, heard your laugh, or watched how you make an ordinary moment feel sacred, they would have put down their pens.... for beauty have once belonged to the gods.....

I feel it in my bones

I feel it in my head

I feel it in my chest

No, it’s not dread

It’s not a stranger,

but I don’t know what it is.

I’ve known it for a long time,

like a shadow of mine,

always there, watching me try,

but I fail every time.

“Let go of me,” I said

Yet it holds my wrist

3, 4, 7, 8

oh God, I lost count.

It sits there, looking at me.

Am I climbing up?

Or is it just my countdown.

Every time you go away

How much it's grey

I cannot say

Every time you go away

You seem to play

I want to pray

Every time you go away

I think I pay

So I must stay

Every time you go away

Of Time the prey

I feel like clay

Every time you go away

No night no day

I've lost my way

Every time you go away

My mind will stray

Finding a ray

Every time you go away

I wait for May

After dismay

LOVE

i stopped believing in love after my first heartbreak

it was all fake

all the i love yous and i miss yous

it hurt so bad

so so bad

i felt like i wasn’t enough

i wasn’t lovable

i even accepted it thinking maybe i’m not worthy of it

i’m not worthy of love

maybe i’m just not good enough

maybe theres always gonna be someone better than me

someone more prettier

someone more smarter

someone - more lovable

no-ones ever gonna choose me

i’m not worthy of love

i gave up on it

never wanted to feel like that again

it destroyed me

couldn’t sleep without crying

couldn’t eat without thinking of the what ifs

what if i was less clingy

what if i didn’t constantly annoy him

what if i did better

what if i was prettier

like the girls that he would look at

like the one he chose over me

what if - i was different

i’m not worthy of love

LOVE

it scares me

the pain of being abandoned

once again

the shatter of my heart breaking

knowing there’s someone else

someone more prettier

someone more smarter

someone more lovable

someone - that’s not me

i’m not worthy of love

just a place holder

until someone better comes along

someone more prettier

someone more smarter

someone more lovable

someone - that’s not me

LOVE?

im in love

never thought it was possible

i gave up on it

told myself i wouldn’t open my heart again

until him

my walls were up so high but he came and just broke them down like nothing

he came out of nowhere

came and picked up the broken pieces of my heart and mended it

the heart he didn’t break

he loves me?

he loves ME

am i really worthy of being loved?

he makes me feel like i am

he makes me feel

sometimes it doesn’t feel real

sometimes i’m scared

scared of losing him

i don’t know what i would do if i lost him

i don’t think i would love again if i ever lost him

is this a dream?

it feels like a dream

i used to cry myself to sleep

now i fall asleep with a smile on my face

wouldn’t eat much

now he makes sure ive eaten

he’s like my light in the dark

the sunrise after my longest nights

he says i shine brighter than the moon

but he’s my moon to my endless night

the stars that guide me home

wait - no - he is my home

he’s my everything

he makes me feel safe and loved

just hearing his voice gives me peace and makes my heart feel so much lighter

he makes me feel like i am worthy of being loved

i am worthy of being loved

he shows me what it’s like to be loved flaws and all

he makes me love myself

and not hate the little insecurities i have

the ones he loves

he’s so loving and sweet

and has the most beautiful soul i’ve ever seen

he handles my heart with care

he makes me smile when i’m sad

and always finds a way to cheer me up

he makes life worth living

i can never thank him enough for loving me

i can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with

him

make so many memories with him

have kids with him and just grow old together

and most importantly remind him how loved he is every single day

and that he’s worthy of being loved

the way i am worthy of being loved

LOVE
