I Hope You Know

I hope you know just how much you mean to me.

I hope it shows.

No matter the distance, you will always be in my thoughts.

In my heart, I will carry you with me all of my days.

I hope the memories don't fade.

I hope you feel the same and I hope our paths will cross again someday.

.

It's the thrill of the chase

It's the skill of the hunt

I smell fear

I taste blood

and I'm famished

I light up 

@ night

like a neon sign

demanding attention

buzzing w/ electricity  

beaconing u 2 me

OPEN

for business

for pleasure

whatever

I'm thankful...
for what I have
for what lies ahead
for what's behind me
for things that are gone
for things that are new
I'm thankful for you
for making me feel
thankful.

On Repeat

Dancing.
Alone,
with a smile upon my face,
in the comfort of my own home.
Losing myself
in the music.
With warm memories of
good nights,
friendly faces,
familiar places
and you, in my view.

If something makes you frown, more than it makes you smile, you should let it go.

Purposed Coincidence

As if we always were
and all the pieces fit.
Time lent us a hand
and everything made sense.
I wasn't looking
but there you were
Purposed coincidence.
Our paths crossed
and when we touched
it felt like home.
It only took a moment
to last a lifetime.
Made for each other.
I'm already yours
so please be mine.

Look What You've Done

From the start
had my heart.
Quite the guy
caught my eye.
On my mind
for some time.
Never disappoints
always a surprise.
Better all the time.
Never ceases to amaze
left me in a daze.
Swept off my feet
oh so sweet.
If I had my way
I'd spend everyday
to have you stay.
Let's get lost
no matter the cost.
Won't let you go
just so you know.
Look what you've done
you're the one.

What I Need

I need depth
from this shallow place.
I need understanding
for my scattered ways.
I need patience
for the child within.
I need space
so I can run free.
I need a strong foundation
so I just don't float away.
I need an anchor
to hold me down and keep me at bay.
I need a light
to guide me in a dark place.
I need a smile
to know everything's gonna be okay.
I need a hand
to pick me up and put me back on my way.
I need a shoulder
to lean on for hard days.
I need a look
to feel that special way.
What I need
is you.

Broken to Believe

Broken. I am chipped, cracked and torn.
Empty. I am hollow and defeated.
Lost. I am alone without direction.
Scared. I am fearful of the darkness.

Stop.
Turn away from despair.
Stop.
Turn you face towards the light.
Go.
Knowing you have a purpose.
Go.
Knowing that there is hope.

Peace. This moment will pass.
Comfort. You are not alone.
Rest. There is strength in tomorrow.
Believe. There is more than what you see.

Your mischievous grin
is my sin.
It has such appeal
that I would gladly
beg
borrow
and steal
to make it mine.

Come Undone

He is her undoing
Defenses succumb
to
trembling
admission

Restraint diminished
Intense
In the corners
of her mind
...and other spaces
Lost control
She's come undone

I want to get lost. I want to let go and wander to places unknown. I just want to be his, alone. Surrender myself over, as if he were my faith. And I, his salvation.

The moment you accept things for what they are, instead of what you want them to be, life becomes much easier.

March Break

He was like a heat wave in March. Came in unexpectedly yet embraced immediately.
But just like the weather, it changed on a dime. April came, things turned cold.
Oh, how I enjoyed it when the warmth was here. I basked in it.
All consuming, I was hooked. Too good to be true, therefore, doomed not to last.
Many things in life are fleeting and must be enjoyed for what they are.
A puzzling, inexplicable occurrence that brevity conquered in the end.

Quotes, I Wrote

Walking in the rain isn't so bad when you're sunny on the inside.

Your time is like money. Spend it on people who know its value and appreciate it.

I'll never get over being nothing to someone when I used to mean something, if not everything, once upon a time.

This Very Second

This very second, I dare you to live in this moment.
Think not of tomorrow or the next move you'll make.
This - right now - matters.
Take a deep breath, look around - be still and take it all in.
The future doesn't exist yet and the past is at our feet.
Appreciate that you are here - ever present - right this minute.
Don't ignore this sudden but brief wrinkle in time.
It's precious and fleeting, though it may feel insignificant - it's truly far from.
Don't make it a rare occasion to slow down and just be.
Don't wish it away and rush what is happening.
You're alive and living - seize it - savour it.
Things will steal your thoughts, your time, your attention - but before that happens...
I dare you to cherish this very second before it passes you by.

Recycled

I often wonder what's genuine anymore.
Everything seems recycled; words, motives, emotions, and actions.
When will it feel fresh again?
Or are we all out of firsts?
Trapped in a constant state of deja vu, where everything feels like it did the last time.
Oh, how I long for something unlike anything I've ever experienced before.
Special, untainted, full of new awakenings.

Bittersweet

Your selfish words help no one but yourself.
Your thoughtless actions fail to agree.
I placed my heart before you as I pleaded on my knees.
How much do I have to beg?
What may I ask?
What may I question?
Everything but you.
Your body and soul complete, as my heart and mind race to a finish which cannot be reached.
A lost cause that contaminates everyone, even those who don't belong.
My eyes whisper what you want to hear and in your eyes I see where this could lead.
The taste however is bittersweet.
I cannot ask for anything more, for I am only able to question a question.
I don't want to convince myself anymore.
Create a new ending
substitute an old heart
handle it well
feel the way
forgive me
please just go away.
