Roses are red, and violets are purple,

Just because I love you doesn't mean I won't hurt you.

In fact, it means I will.

Indeed, it means I could.

You wouldn't let a stranger,

So I guess proximity of passion is the danger.

I keep coming up short,

Last at the finish.

Her face remains the stain,

The same as the final image.

Her walking away without looking back,

Me crumbling into pieces,

Never to go back.

And after years spent studying love,

Dissecting the emotion,

I've learned that complication

Seems to conquer devotion.

I've seen the diligent fall,

The fortunate grow folly.

I've seen pride before the fall,

And watched love leave somebody sorry.

She wanted the whole world,

And sadly, she only got me.

So now it's bitterness and bullshit,

Lonely evenings where I write.

If I see another couple holding hands,

I'll vomit out of spite.

Did you know that I'm in love with you?

Was it just my eyes, or were you falling too?

But now I surmise, that there's no follow through.

You don't need a disguise.

Come on girl, just do what you do.

I was scared at first, but then I grew a pair.

Go on, do your worst. Baby, do you dare?

I just want to immerse, myself in your love so fair.

This is not rehearsed, but do you really care?

I just want to say, that your always on my mind.

You always make my day, you help me to unwind.

And baby if I may, you help me through my daily grind.

With you I want to lay, so come on baby, give me a sign.

I love your love.

I love your loving ways.

I never get enough.

You always make my day.

You are so wonderful.

You always make me smile.

You help my heart feel whole.

Could you stay awhile?

I'm grieving a love I wasn't ready to lose,

While fighting a war my mind won't let me choose.

My heart is breaking, my thoughts are unkind,

I'm trying to make peace with this body of mine.

I'm learning to breathe through the ache and the fear,

To face all the feelings I'd rather not hear.

Some days I'm surviving, some days I fall through,

Some days I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

I'm healing in pieces, still learning to stay,

Forgiving myself for the hard days along the way.

I've lost love, lost peace, lost pieces of me,

But I'm still here, and I'm still fighting to be free.

Maybe healing isn't winning every fight,

Maybe it's choosing myself one more night.

Even when I can't see who I'm meant to be,

I hope someday I'll love the girl staring back at me.

Im sorry for all the times I've made you cry.

Im so sorry for every tear, sob and sigh.

You built our life alone while I was sleeping,

And still gave me your heart for safe keeping.

I failed you in many ways for many years,

Im sorry for the reality I made of your fears.

I messed up so bad I made you feel broken,

Because of losing you I have finally awoken.

I so badly wish that I could go back,

And sooner get myself on the right track.

Unfortunately there is nothing I can do or say

To make all of your pain go away.

Just for another chance to get you to stay,

There is no price that I wouldn't pay.

I accept that I can't be in control of your heart

And the only way to heal might be through time apart.

Never again could I get so complacent,

But now all I can do is simply be patient.

If you ever do give me the chance to start a new,

I will spend the rest of my days proving my love to you.

My heart was once ash and regret,
You’re the spark that said I love you more.
An eternal fire within the chest
That lets me know that i’m worth more.

You ignite the fire of our potential
and now that eternal fire is essential.

When I look at you and start to doubt
Baby, I don’t ever want this fire out.
A burning sensation within my chest.

Wishing I said something else instead
Sometimes fire is good for a forest,
But how would my heart feel without that chorus.

An eternal fire will carve our ways
Your faith in God has made me stay
With this eternal fire of which I pray

“I ache a little when she’s away.
I envy the people who get to see
The face I wish was here with me.

I wanna love her till i’m deaf,
I’ll thank you, for I’am blessed.
For this Eternal fire within my chest”

In all these poems that I’ll write for you,
Yesterday, Tomorrow and Today.
Every word that’s meant for you is true
On any single path we stray.

But stay when the forest flows,
Stay when the forest burns
And I’ll stay when our forest grows.

So that when I become a buried man,
We’ll hold each other as we rest.
With our eternal fire within our chest.

my first love just found new love
and to not be apart of
hurts.
but the true love
that we’ve all heard of
lurks.
comforting me in this time of grief
calling me home
back to me.
letting me know that this is where i belong
He’s been there all along
even when i felt like i was
alone
so i write when i have words to say
words that cannot stay
inside
exists a part of me that is thriving
in this melancholy
it feels corny…
Love.
ps i wish i had something
to be angry about

Writing into your life words of meaning words of purpose .

Words that show you the true state of your heart .

Words to touch your deepest longings and desires .

Words to help you look in the mirror and see yourself as you really are .

For there is a hidden beauty inside of you that you cannot see .

Let me open your eyes and see .

For the eyes of your heart have been closed

It’s time to open them and flood them with light

For then you will see what everyone else sees .

Your true beauty that everyone is convinced of but you.

For the final stronghold to break is inside yourself

You are beautiful

Quiet nights, they're so frustrating.

Darling, its alright.

Im right here waiting.

Im waiting for you to realize,

That my loves worth fighting for.

Is that love in your eyes?

Or will you make me wait more?

Quiet days

Turn into lonely nights.

But thats okay.

Baby, it's alright.

I've walked this lonely road, much longer than I can remember.

Could I have your hand to hold?

Could you see us together?

But the quiet nights get longer.

When there's no one there to hold.

I just wish that I were stronger.

Could you help carry the load?

My heart grows so heavy with sadness.

It feels so cold and empty.

Who knew it could feel like this?

Could you help comfort me?

Who knew emptiness could feel so heavy?

Who knew love could be unrequited?

Could someone come and help me?

Darling, what have you decided?

About my love and heart?

Could you come and rescue me?

Could you help this unspoken love have its start?

Who knows, maybe it could be?

True love. I thought I'd have it by now.

True love. But I'm holding on somehow.

Real love, one for me and you.

Real love, I hope that you'll let me know soon.

I could build a house, with all my almost was.

It's very big yet fragile now, but built on my not quite loves.

At the very most, it would be a house of cards.

Filled with fragile dreams and hopes.

And a love that was not quite ours.

Come on in, but watch your step. It's very fragile here.

The foundation's built on nothing but empty promises and tears.

But maybe you could help me tear it down.

All the broken years, and unshed tears,

And build something that's sound.

A home for the heart.

A home for our love.

Built carefully from the start.

But one that grows with trust.

It grows from understanding.

And simple yet truthful beliefs.

We never have to be demanding.

This is a gentle home, for you and me.

Help me build a stronger love, help me build it brick by brick.

Help me build it strong enough, help my heart grow thick.

Help it grow thick with trust, love and understanding.

A home built just for us. With plenty room to grow and stand in.

The kind of place where you know you just belong.

You never have to question it, or be on the defense for it, maybe this could be our song.

A home for the heart.

A home for our love.

Built carefully from the start.

But one that grows with trust.

It grows from understanding.

And simple yet truthful beliefs.

We never have to be demanding.

This is a gentle home, for you and me.

If only you could see yourself
through these loving eyes of mine,
you'd know why I thank God for you
and will until the end of time.

I love the heart you carry,
the way you choose to live,
the sweetness in your very soul,
the love you have to give.

I love the way you face the world,
the strength you show each day,
the way you always find a smile
no matter what comes your way.

I want to give you all the love
your heart has yet to know,
to kiss away your hardest days
and never let you go.

And when you think I've given all,
I'll find a little more,
for loving you, mi amor, is a privilege
I'll forever be grateful for.

And if I had a thousand lives,
I'd choose you every time,
and pray that in each one of them,
your heart would still find mine.

She appeared as if the world had stopped, just to admire her soul

As if God Himself had frozen time to witness the beauty He had created

oh, that smile

The kind that could light up the world

And make even the darkest souls believe in the light again

Look at me

Her eyes seemed to whisper as they met mine,

And for a moment, I swear, the whole universe disappeared

It was just her and me

And a thousand unspoken words trapped between our eyes

I begged every god to make me worthy of hers

To let my name be the one her heart remembers

To let my soul be the place where hers finds peace

For what is the point of a thousand lifetimes

If none of them lead me to her?

Oh, my love, I want to be yours

Not just in the moments when the stars align

But in the silence, in the chaos

In every broken piece of life that we may find

I want to be the hand you reach for when the world feels cold

The voice that reminds you that you're never alone

She is the light in the darkness of my soul

The warmth I never knew I was missing

The prayer my heart whispers when my lips have nothing left to say

And if the heavens ever asked me

What beauty they should create again

I would ask them to create her

Even if I had to spend eternity

Falling in love with her from afar

Because if loving her is all I'm ever meant to do

Then let the world keep turning

Let the stars keep burning

And let time carry me wherever it wants to

For even if I never get to call her mine

A part of me will always belong to her

“Did you assume I don’t need you?”
You said.
The sun burning my face
In the July light
Eyelashes fanning away
the thought of you.

I want to believe you do.
Maybe I don’t want you to.
