Wrecked

I was rubble.
Crying over spilled tears,
I lost all the pieces. 

You wrecked me,
but in a good way. 

My walls 
erected as a stupid attempt
at erasing the past. 
You touched every last one. 
You found every weakness.

When I first tried to invade your walls,
I never meant to start this war 
But, 
      You will always be my wrecking ball
                    who knocked out all my pain.

Wishing for Failed Refrain

My Muse, you cry
forsaken and breathless
I welcome tears
So I will greet them with a kiss
A poet beating love and rosy into your cheeks
singing a lullaby
so pretty eyes heavy

Sleep, love
a thousand silent smiles born before skies awake

I just want someone to pick up the pieces...

A glass bottle
carbonated with neglect
left in the spotlight
for far too long.

I'm still finding shards 
in my palms
in my back 
in my arms
wherever the dust collects

Sometimes I shatter when no one's touching.

Your World

Since I entered your world
everything is pink.
I borrowed it
without asking.
Pink is better than black right? 


Sometimes 
I don't see the beauty in pink. 
It's wrapped in everything I want to be. 
But also, everything I can't come close to.
I think it's the white.
So pure.
So soothing.
It unsettles my dark side. 


I know I need it. 
I know I need you. 
Pink is beautiful
You're beautiful. 


Red doesn't like me sticking around.
Black and Red don't mix well. 
It intensifies everything. 
Why does it have to be only one? 


I'm sorry I let my black show today. 
Promise me it won't turn your days gray.

My Cheshire Pain

There was a point in time
where pain was bad.
It meant

stop
                               look at yourself

something is wrong
                                 
                                  fix it.


Then somehow some way,  I fell in a hole
flipped the world upside down
and pain became the goal.

When did I become crazy enough
to consider pain the reward
and pleasure the punishment.
How did my thin skin become so tough?

It's only when the pain disappears
do I realize
it doesn't make sense.

To the only person who's made it through my force field of good intentions

Love, 
In my poetry, I call you my sun.
I've written to you during countless revolutions
One thing never changes;     
                                     I orbit you. 
~Your Moon


Dear, 
If I could fathom how deeply my heart aches for you,
I wouldn't keep saying "Why am I crying?"
instead of "I miss you.".
~Only yours


Darling, 
You doubt your value as if you're a one cent coin.
But, keep your head up. 
When I put you in my heart, 
I became the luckiest person in the room.
~Your Banker


Sweetheart, 
I love everything about you
except for the way you love yourself.
You don't. 
You should. 
I can teach you how.
~Your Mirror

For You

I change my patterns
I fit my square life in your round expectations
trying to hide the gaps of where I miss the mark
Every jagged edge 
Every scar
A reminder of how hard I tried to mold myself
into your cookie cutter definitions
I used to live for you
I can't do that anymore 
Now I live 

                               for me
