by taking me out to dinner and then
a movie and reminding me that sometimes
you need to be able to breakdown
to remember how to rise up again.
Everyone around tells us that we are
uncommon, that we are not as beautiful
as I make us out to be, but we don’t care.
My alone and I don’t need constant
reassurance from those around us
to make us know that what we have going
really is something special.”

someone come over and have coffee with me / draw & paint with me / watch films with me / talk about life & love with me / write poetry with me / listen to music & make playlists with me / someone come over and lay next to me and we can get to know all about one another

"She tells me that I am not the woman
she fell in love with. That I am someone
she wishes she had..."
she fell in love with. That I am someone
she wishes she had never met.
That because of me she no longer
believes in love. From these bitter words
I know now that she never knew me at all.
I have never been someone else,
have never altered myself for the sake
of those who I only want to become close to.
She tells me that I am not the woman
she knew once before, and this time
I am not going to argue against
her words that are only made up of truth.”

I don't understand how that's poetry... I like poetry but I don't understand how that's poetry... could you please explain?
"Writing poetry is a state of free float. ― Margaret Atwood
Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It’s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that’s what the poet does. — Allen Ginsberg
Poetry is a search for ways of communication; it must be conducted with openness, flexibility, and a constant readiness to listen. - Fleur Adcock
Poetry isn’t a profession, it’s a way of life. It’s an empty basket; you put your life into it and make something out of that. - Mary Oliver
Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things. - T.S Eliot
Listen, real poetry doesn’t say anything; it just ticks off the possibilities. Opens all doors. You can walk through any one that suits you. -Jim Morrison”
Always remember that just because one doesn’t think something is poetry or a certain piece of writing isn’t poetry doesn’t mean that it isn’t. Poetry can be anything a person wants it to be. It’s just like art, you don’t have to understand it, but if you want to look at it still, make sure you keep an open mind about it.

I’m looking for inspiration
in the wrong places,
while putting my heart
in the hands of those
who never seem to know
what to do with it.
This is only my fault
and my defect alone.
I have no one to blame
but myself and I have
always known this.
"She wants to be happy for me,
wants to share the stories of my new found love
and still hear about..."
wants to share the stories of my new found love
and still hear about my day even if it is
killing her with every moment that no longer
involves her. She stays strong for the sake
of others happiness, while she is slowly
giving up on hope that her own love story
will ever write itself. She is selfless,
considerate and startling. And for her
to think that love will never come her way,
will never build a home within her heart
is a thought that is much too impractical
to ever be able to believe.”

I bought this dreamy little two piece on this site, a beautiful store and everything is handmade. I just took it out of the package so it’s a bit creased but I was too excited so I had to show you peaches! I feel like a little fairy.
