If it’s not
too much to ask,
could you help
me find the pieces
of my heart
and take the time
to help me put it
back together?

It’s the least
that you could
do since it 
fell apart after you
told me that
this was more
than you could
ever handle.

as long as there is hope,there will always be love.

If you look at my skin close enough,
you can see the marks of all the places
that you touched me. All the places
that my body will forever remember 
you by. Your hands are not only
limbs. They are powerful tools
that are able to imprint love upon
surfaces that have always seemed
too rough to break through.

For awhile there, she convinced me
that our love was the type of love
that could not be mimicked,
controlled, or destroyed.
And for awhile there, I actually
started to believe her.
But when the end came near,
she was the one who was
controlling our fate,
mimicking our so called love
with someone else, and destroying
everything that took us
so long to perfect.

“A holiday that is based around love

is not going to help me

when it comes to explaining

how much I care for you.

No amount of flowers

or candy is going to help you

understand why I am the way

that I am. Not even Hallmark

cards could do the proper justice

of showing you that my love for you

is not something temporary.

Little black words on a piece

of paper won’t be able to make up

for everything that we have both

done wrong. Paper is disposable,

but first and last impressions are not.

I will always remember the time

that you told me that my love

would never be enough to satisfy

your expectations. That my arms

were not made to be around your body.

Before I could even explain myself,

you already had the excuse for my actions

waiting on your tongue, ready to

try to prove a point. This is just another

holiday to remind you that you are lonely,

but don’t buy into it. You will never

be lonely as long as you know that

you’ve tried your hardest to keep the one

that you loved the most around.

No amount of romantic cards,

chocolate covered caramels,

and bouquets of already dead roses

can make up for everything

that we’ve been through.

It’s going to take a lot more

than a 24 hour holiday to show us

that maybe we would have been

better off if we were never in love.”

We need to try to
stop ourselves from
falling in love
with those who will
never seem to fall
in love with us.

Even if it is 
impossible to
stop yourself from
falling when you are
already on your
way down.

I don’t need to use metaphors
to tell you how I feel. I’m not
going to make you tip-toe around
the answer. What’s the point
of hinting towards my emotions
when all that I have to do
is tell you that everything I want
is inside of you. I will never
make you guess my feelings.
If I love you, I will tell you,
and that is something that I
will never make you work for.

There is something
so fascinating,
and so fatal
about the way
you hold my name
in your mouth.

Almost as if
I am the type
of secret that
you cannot wait
to let the world
know of.

"I no longer ache for you.I’ve stopped trying to findyou in others. There’s nopoint. No one will..."

“I no longer ache for you.

I’ve stopped trying to find

you in others. There’s no

point. No one will ever come

in comparison to who you

used to be. I’ve been able to

picture the rest of my life

a lot more clearly, and I’m

proud to say that you are

nowhere to be found

when I am gazing into

my future. I’ve made mends

with the person you used

to be. Said goodbye to the

parts of you that you

wished away. The parts that I

fell in love with in the

first place. There is no use

in trying to talk me out of this.

Because I will already

be gone by the end

of this confessional poem.”
