Because I Love You

Leaving you breathless is worth savoring, Like giving you pleasure and watching you drowning in lack of memory. So I find myself sick knowing you have to go, Feels like forever before I can even hear your voice again. I think I'm scared of losing you, Or simply not seeing you every day. Not being able to hold you at night, Not hearing your voice all the time. I don't think I have ever anticipated a moment so long, For a time without your wonderful love in my life. I don't think I can keep myself from craving you either, Just like the predictable moments before we kiss again tonight.

Literature

I love you.

I wondered if you could hear my heart in your sleep, Recognize the smell of my skin in your dreams, Touch my lips when you wake up, And whisper in my ears while I sleep. I pondered all that as you fell asleep to my heartbeat, Breathing softly on my chest with one of your hands still feeling me. And when I wake up it was your lips, Or maybe it's all just a dream. But when I declared "I love you", I could feel your lips at my ear, Whispering the sweet melody, Of everything I ever wanted to hear.

Literature

Lingering Thoughts

I wonder if you could be happy without me, If you could do being without me. Whether you'll still laugh as beautifully, With that small smile lingering all day long unconsciously. I really don't think I can do all that without you. And even if I could come to love again. It would never again feel as easy as breathing, Like having a heart just a little smaller than being complete. Maybe I'm just wondering how important I am to you, How true your beautiful words are, How I know with such a certainty, That you are the reason for all my lingering smiles.

Broken Hearts

Where do broken hearts go, To heal? Where do they lay in solitude, And once more become real? What price, what punishment, Must they undergo, Before they are allowed to return, To a world that has forsaken them, A world that has spurned? Where do broken hearts find, The courage to move on? Was that strength truly with them, Inside all along? Where do they hide the memories, That they simply cannot share, With anyone, anywhere? Where do they learn to love, Again? Broken hearts become lonely hearts, If the healing takes too long The fear and mistrust of betrayal, Makes them cold and wan Lonely means forever broken You fi

I Hurt

Every day, I wake up in pain, it is my reality. I wish it didn't have to be this way, but it is what it is. Incidentally, I despise those words, "It is what it is", they make me feel...even more helpless than I already do, they both anger and frighten me. My life, how I feel, what I've lost, it makes me want to cry, sometimes it does make me cry. It makes me belligerent, I lash out at those I care about, those that care about me. It makes me afraid, afraid that I won't be able to care for my daughter, afraid that I won't be able to care for myself. Fear is not something I'm used to, neither is being "frail". The constant care I have to use t

Silence

Silence Silence, Is golden, It's true, What many say, But silence is also, A weapon, Which too many freely, Give away Silence, Like knowledge, Is power, And often misunderstood Some few, Remain silent, Not because they had to, But because they could Silence, Can be suffering, It can be, Total misery, But silence, Should never, Ever, Be mistaken for defeat Silence, Is a tool, Sometimes the sharpest, Of them all, And it echoes, Hollow and accusing, Like a voice, In an empty hall Silence, Can be a gamble, But not for me, I think Silence does not, Sound weakness, For me it sounds, Victory jlp January 26

Flower Glass

Sometimes you want something, like a beautiful flower hidden behind the glass. You can't touch the flower. You can't hold it... But you are mesmerized by its beauty And in your mind you to start to believe That flower might love you back That somehow it might even belong to you And then the janitor taps your shoulder And you know that you were wrong. - by Word of Chen

Literature

The Heart Behind the Screen

The biggest fear that comes with distance, is the thought that someone else might try it too. And perhaps while you're up all night talking to them, you'll fall like I did for you... 'That thought alone, is the most painful of them all'

The Love of Persephone

Walk with me through my garden of earthly delights, find my dragon waiting inside like the serpent coiled around your tree. Taste my pomegranate seeds, and there is no turning back, because your are mine you are mine. Let us be damned together, if damned we must be in the name of our dark love, but I'll not let you go, your heart belongs to me. My body is your altar of sacrifice, I will sign my soul in your flesh, because I called you down, into my underworld like a sirens song. I belonged to you the moment I felt you walk the Earth above me. Now the sky might come crashing down once I have you in my embrace, but you will h

Yandere Poem

Tell me why you looked at her And please don’t give me lies If you gaze upon another girl I may have to take your eyes Her hearts simply not worth your own It appears much too small Once I carved it out of her It was only five inches tall Please tell me that you love me That you share in my lust And don’t talk to another girl Or I’ll grind her into dust We can finally be alone together As we bury her in the mud Then I’ll write love a hundred times With a hand soaked in her blood She can’t love you as much as me You know I love you to death And that’s just what I’d say to her As she took her dying

Yandere Poem 2

I see your picture on my wall And out of bed, I climb You won’t talk to me anymore But I talk to you all the time They’d label me as crazy If only others knew But I still do it anyway As my love is very true Remember when I told you I’d never let you go? I meant every word I said But you still left me though I slip on your old jacket My heart still filled with hope I gathered my new friends A wooden stool and length of rope I can’t wait to see you again Soon we will reunite Bound once more together On this very special night Truly how I’ve missed you Since the moment you were dead Even opening my freezer Jus

Courage

When you are lost, Look deep within yourself, To find the courage to smile on your darkest days, To laugh in the face of your loneliness, To look at yourself in the mirror past your insecurities, To have faith that you are worth it, To be brave enough to lift your head, To see hope in the stars. To find the strength to take the next step forward, Even if the future is unknown. Like a book you have the power to write your story. Some chapters might be hard to get through. They might drag you through the dirt. But some will also show you light of the sun, And the love in your heart. Life is precious. With the good times, and the bad. They ma

Well, I miss you...

I miss you because I hold you so dearly You're mostly in my mind, but not because I worry But because I miss the gentle voice that inspired my poems The playful personality that cheered me up every moment Your adorable ways, that would always warm my heart How beautiful you are that you'd break the fourth wall Your difference between girls, being real, not a thought My heart was sad until here, you were brought Because every time I go to sleep I wish that you were here, laying down next to me Hopefully, you feel the same Because without you, I just can't stay sane

i will love you forever

I Will Love You Forever I love you so deeply, I love you so much, I love the sound of your voice And the way that we touch. I love your warm smile and your kind, thoughtful way, the joy that you bring to my life every day. I love you today as I have from the start, and I'll love you forever with all of my heart When I'm with you, eternity is a step away; my love continues to grow, with each passing day. This treasure of love, I cherish within my soul, how much I love you, you'll never really know. You bring a joy to my heart, I've never felt before, with each touch of your heart, I love you more and more. W

love is...

Love Is; Love is when you care more about someone else's happiness than your own, You would do anything for them, You'd rather be with them than anyone else in the world, You would die so they could live, When you lose them it feels like you lose yourself, They're the only thing you can ever think of, You never even dream of being with anyone else, because they're everything you want, They have many faults, but you're blind to them, You would take them back no matter what they do, When you're with them it's the happiest times of your life, but when you're without them it feels like there is this great big hole in you You always wa

Description

"But then Bananach was swaying towards him, moving like a shadow in the just-fallen night.... She leaned on the metal fence, her arm stretched over her head, her fingures curled around the loops in the fence.... It was an unhealthy attractive to him, her desire to touch pain."
-(261) from Ink Exchange by Melissa Marr
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I based this after the war-loving crow fairie Bananach from Melissa Marr's book Ink Exchange, sequel to Wicked Lovely.
