Your heart is a door
and I am tired of always
being locked out.

i have been reading your poems for weeks now. they are so beautiful, and your soul seems like a blooming garden. i just wanted to thank you for the poetry, and, wishing you the best with the girl you are in love with. i have no such luck, i have been in lo

You are so wonderful yourself, love. You become happy and are filled with light by seeing love. That’s beautiful. That’s a person who deserves love, and who deserves happiness. You will receive both, and that’s something I can promise you. But for me, I am not in love. I’m not really sure what I am. Mostly not when it comes to others. I’m always so afraid of getting close, or hurting myself, but mostly others. I just hope you feel at ease with yourself because you are truly beautiful, and you are so warm. You are light. You are also very much admired. Thank you for these soothing words, love. You are so touching and gentle.

If you’re wondering why
my compassion for you
turned into cruelty,
then you should know
that is a sign that I have
finally moved on and let go
of the feeling of love
that I always thought
was meant for you.

I want to touch you in a way
that no one has ever touched
you before. I want the feel
of my skin to be a feeling
that you can never seem
to get enough of. A feeling
that you will never be able
to forget. Even when you
try to replace my touch with
the touch of someone else.
Believe me when I say
that even the thought
of being near you makes
my entire body ache
with longing, and aches
from imagining how well
our bodies could fit together.

For the longest time
I thought that if you left
I would become empty.
But you’ve been gone
for months now,
and the only thing
that I feel is relief.
Relief that I worried
for so long for a feeling
that never even
made its way
to the surface.

I wish that I were able

to take the weight of the world

that is resting on her shoulders

off, and to put it on the top

of my own. I may not be strong,

but right now, my body

is able to handle more

than hers ever could.

I don’t want her to feel

alone anymore, or for her

to feel that everything is

working against her.

I am here, and I promise

that I’m not going anywhere.

Keep silent, my love,

because there is no use

in making matters worse

by thinking that words will

be able to do the justice.

This is bigger than the

both of us. But I won’t let

the darkness swallow you whole.

She’s lost and all I want

is for her to find herself

in her desires and passions.

She is beautiful. An image

that not even the greatest

painter can mimic. A sight

that not even the most

knowledgeable man can

begin to understand.

She is everything that I

have ever wanted to become.

And the thought of her

not being able to find

who she was once

is something that keeps me

awake at night, wondering

exactly where it was

that she lost herself

in the first place.

I love you for the mistakesthat I made and that you neverheld against me. I love youfor the way that...

I love you for the mistakes
that I made and that you never
held against me. I love you
for the way that you say my name
when I am the last person
that you want to see. I love you
for being able to handle me
with care, even though there was
no caution label on my body.
I love you for seeing the good
inside of me instead of assuming
the inevitable worse. But mostly
I love you because you are
the only one that has ever
made me feel okay with being
who I am. I love you because
you are the only one
who has ever made me feel
like giving love a second chance
was really worth the wait.
