Love…

The way you describe love makes me jealous. I wish someone actually cared for me like that. I want another relationship. But they always end. I don’t want pain but I want you. You remind me so much of an amazing person I lost. But I’m “too young” for you… you only see me as a sister.. but why, why do you smile at me like that. That’s not normal… or maybe it is. Maybe I’m overreacting. But I want y...

Dear Me

“_You got this, Cora. Really. You can do this, I know. And if you just do your best, that’s enough. It’s going to be okay. You’re going to be okay._”


You’re enough, even when you don’t want to be. Even when you want to break, even when you want to shatter the mirrors, the girl reflected there will support you. I’ll help you, even when you don’t want it. You can hate me for it, but I’ll always sav...

Never farđź’ź

I see you in the sunrise

When the stars fade

and the sky slowly

fills the universe with light


I see you in the morning haze

When the birds make their first call

And the moon disappears

From so close yet so far


I see you in the clouds

So perfectly lush

So beautifully shaped

So peacefully free

From so close yet so far


I see you in daylight

I feel you in the sun

The rays tracing my skin

Warming m...

Love

Those eyes looking at me. That smile got my head spinning. Your so perfect. Your so good with your words and I don’t wanna let you go. Your hands resting on my hips like they belong there. You are my everything. I love you so much.

Stardust

We are beautiful souls, made of stardust and forever intertwined. And someday, time will turn us back into stardust. But that time will never tear us apart. We will grow together into one colorful flower. We will turn together into one park bench where a thousand people fall in love. We will become together the one brightest star in the entire damned sky. And then, back into the stardust from whic...

Keeping It Real

They told us "Nah, that ain't gonna fly,"

Like we were some weird, mismatched tie.

"Too different," they'd say, with a shake of their head,

"You're both just asking for trouble," they said.


But, like, whatever, we didn't care,

We had our own thing, a love we could share.

Through late-night talks and messy, dumb fights,

We held on tight, through days and through nights.

Yeah, people talked, they t...

Consciousness

She existed without life.

She knew not of the love that he had for her.


How he would read to her every night,

Untold fables from his childhood.

How he would play and sing to her every morning,

Strumming infatuation with his fingers.


His warm fingers would caress her cold face,

Hold her lifeless hands.


And when he said “I love you,”

Your eyes remain lifeless,

Voids of blue circuitry woven like v...

Hopelessly Hopeful

I hold our little interactions close to my heart.

We have never truly spoken.

You probably don't bat an eye when I enter a room.

At least, not like my eye is trained to detect you anywhere.

How it can see that it's you simply by the way you walk.

To you though, I'm nothing.

And I don't blame you.

It's not like I'm anyone special.

Why would you notice me?

My hope still lingers though.

Do you ever ...

Beautiful Things

She is made of beautiful things,

She makes my heart fly off on wings.


Her hair, brown sugar cinnamon sweets,

Her presence is simply a treat.


Her eyes are like the bluest sky,

Her voice, the sweetest lullaby.


Her body, sculpted by the gods,

Her smile just leaves me in awe.


She’s everything beautiful in this world.

She’s mine, she’s my sweet perfect girl....

Against All Odds

They said we wouldn’t last,

That our love would soon be in the past,

I feared that they were right,

But together, we put up a fight,

Our love would make it through the night

To see the morning light.


Through all the strife

And pain of life,

You and I

Have stayed side by side.


Our love has been through

So much strain,

But you

And I always push through the pain.


Against all odds,

Our love prove...
