Don’t be fooled by the darkness; there’s love hidden inside these shadows, too.

The worst kind of love.
I’d rather be anyone else If it meant you’d look at me The way I look at you. The worst kind of love is jealous love. I’ve been there- and always seem to end up there- in that place where I’m just not the one. I overshoot my expectations, wind up wanting what I can… Read more

I’m always falling.
I’m always falling in love with the wrong people. The people I can’t have, the people who can’t have me. The people who look at me and see nothing, or see too much. The people who can only love a person half-way. I’m a sucker for a broken soul. A soul that hurts and opens… Read more

Girl.
I’m not the sad girl. I’m the girl you can rely on. I’m the girl who’ll listen to your stories and always laugh at the right spots. I’m the girl who nods solemnly and gives you advice. The girl who keeps all of your secrets but gives none of her own. I’m the girl you… Read more

I swear I don’t blame you.
Your voice gets snappy, grates on my nerves like skin on sandpaper. No doubt you’re mad about something. Maybe class, or another fight with your mom, or maybe you’re just mad because I’m mad.

I sleep alone.
I’m no longer a part of you. You’re a long, sleepless night, trapped in my head, tossing and turning. You weigh heavy on me like a blanket, forcing me further and further down. You stick on my skin like the sweat of a nightmare. I’d rather just sleep alone. You’re an avenging sunrise, beautiful and… Read more

To my dream-lover:
Sleep like a gentle current, Like an ocean Inside my head, Submerging my consciousness. – I find you Beneath myself, Beneath the waves, Dragging me under. – You feel so real Against my fingers, But you’re not real When I open my eyes. – I look at you, Awake, And I don’t know Who you… Read more

Maybe it’s stupid, but I keep thinking I can write our love into existence. Every time my pen meets paper, it’s spilling with want for you. You’re a mystery, but if I can just lock you down with words, maybe I could figure this out. If I just carve our passion into poetry, it’ll bleed… Read more
