Strong
A word I didn't know the meaning of
Not until you held me in your arms
Not until I felt your breath on my face
And the beat of your heart in my ear

Strong
A word that had no meaning
'Til I saw the mask you wear shatter
And for once I saw the person that was inside
A person with weakness but so much more strength

Strong
A word without meaning
Until you wiped away my tears
Until you let me cry as you held me tight
Until I sobbed into your chest only to have you pull me back together

Strong
You are my strength
You are my power
You are my weakness
You are my everything

For you I will be strong

The world can be cruel The night can be dark A friend can betray A lover can run But a candle will flicker In the darkness of life In the sorrow of death In the agony of self loathing A candle will flicker When the blade cuts the skin When the wind knocks you down When the heart rips When the brain screams A candle will flicker Illness may howl Pain may shriek Loneliness may deafen But a candle will flicker

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

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

First Kiss

We walk along the water hand in hand both a little bit nervous hoping our hands won't betray us by sweating too much Sitting on a bench overlooking the dark water the sun has long gone but it still shines in our hearts Your hand touches my cheek softly brushing my hair back as you move in closer our hearts beating fast Soft and careful your lips touch mine trembling slightly my fingers find your hair Been kissed before but never as deep never as loving never as perfect I shed a tear out of pure realisation this is the feeling I've been waiting for all my life

Love is...

Love is more than a feeling. It is the sound of her voice as she tells me her thoughts. It is the touch of her arms as they hold me tight. It's the caress of my embrace, that makes her so warm. It's an action. It's a promise. It's putting others before you. It's an open door. It's something you do. It's a kiss on a park bench under a star filled sky. It's the thought of her when she's far away. It's a story being written. It's the tear in your eye. It's the letter stained and smeared with salty water. It's the phone call you don't want to answer, but you know you must. It's the country you long to see. It's pain. It's a longing to forget. It'

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.

How to love a girl who can't love herself.

You must simply take her in your arms and kiss her gaunt, pale cheeks and wait for her to slumber at the sound of your heart. two. On the days where she wishes she were part of the stars, tell her no. Tell her that there are too many lights in the sky and that just one would be forgotten the moment you looked away from it. Tell her that she is perfect the way she is: completely human. three. Don't let her think about the scars that no one but her can see. If she says

Die

Die: Such a simple word, spewed without thought. "I wish you'd die, I wish you'd be killed." But what if we actually gave meaning to those words? Can you understand the emotion, the magnitude, the weight, Of actually seeing the life of an individual depart? Can you look them in the eyes, as they bleed into your hands; Observing their final moments, as the light fades from their eyes? Or are you simply a soft-hearted coward, Sitting fat behind a computer, wishing death upon others? To say that one is deserving of death, Suggests that you are ready to kill. And if indeed you are ready to kill, Then you too must be prepared to die.

You Will Not Read This

When a writer puts his soul and passion into his work. It will go unnoticed, often because of its length. It is a rather sad fact, but a truth nonetheless. For the simple emotions conveyed in just a few words, Often hold more sway with those who are emotionally swayed. There is no depth of the heart, nor a single thought spared. For the effort placed into a piece that forgoes the winning edge, For a hint of true meaning. You will not read this piece and I will not expect you to. It will not be popular or famous, nor will it see the light of day. For length is the bane of true poetry, And that is why so many of my kin have already l

Maybe, Just Maybe

Why can't I be sad about this? Not a single tear has flown Am I emotionless? Am I a monster? Why can't I be sad about this My mood seems to be the same Am I heartless? Am I empty? Why can't I be sad about this The others have their masks on Why do I not need mine? What have I become? Or maybe, just maybe I have grown used to the pain Of losing someone who's close to me Maybe, just maybe

In Love With You

Your untamed soft hands touch me in ways I always crave for, Tease me in sweet ways I could never prepare for, Hold me in between like I am the only one, And always distract me unexpectedly when we kiss. I can feel your love in the movement of your lips, A total warm pleasantness as you cling to me. And maybe a small part of my mind actually registers the surprise, As your warm hands reach curiously for more. In sweetness your love blinds me, In my heart your love completes me, Come tomorrow I hope you'll still crave me, And oh, I think I'm in love with you, completely.

I know you, I love you

We fall in love with the microscopic, rough-edged details of people. We crave the knowledge of our lovers, crave to know them the way nobody else can. In a way, these idiosyncrasies become our own personal gift, a sliver of our favorite person preserved within ourselves. You love the way he licks his lips twice before saying something important, exactly twice, like he’s counting out two seconds to reclaim his composure. You love how her fingertips smell like turpentine and lavender when she finishes a painting because she doesn’t stop until her brushes are clean, and then she spends too much time trying to scrub her hands fresh.

Alright this is being written like now I mean for once I don't have it copied into a notebook so that I can then copy it onto the computer. This is just off the top of my head throught of after a few recent events of this weekend.... The person that it's for.. Well he'll never see it... well maybe he will time will be the answer to that...
