Stars shown especially bright in the midsummer night.

Almost like flames that only appear in the deepest of woods.

However, the trees are what held the real goods.

Every shake of a leaf was like golden snow flurries.

Swirls of light burned when touched, so foreigners could only gaze.

Just like the sun, you could only look for so long.

Flames of illumination licking at the bark made such a song.

...

I am observant and insecure.

I wonder how people perceive me.

I hear what others assign no value to.

I see actions often overlooked.

I want to know why my physical appearance worries me this much.

I am observant and insecure.

I pretend I’m comfortable in my own skin.

I feel as though I’m not enough.

I touch the clothes I would never wear.

I worry my keen senses are only out to get me.

I cry when ...

Opening my eyes after a distasteful sleep,

I hadn’t heard one sound, not even a peep.

The aftermath of the previous days had left a toll,

You and your lies were on a roll.

Feeling a chill upon every glance,

I can’t believe you thought it was okay to travel with your hands.

When I reminisce, I can still feel the taste of your lips.

Every time you laugh, or smile, I wish your hands were on my hips....

No matter the temperature outside, it always felt cold.

Isolated, thinking I’d be alone when I’m old.

Days fade into months, passing with a blur.

I never thought I could be so happy again, until her.

With a laugh so contagious and the darkest of eyes,

I’m so mesmerized, like a deer in headlights.

She’s so supportive and never hateful,

I will forever be grateful....

As soon as we locked eyes, you had me hooked.

In mere months, you’d read me like a book.

Hand in hand we’d stroll.

You left a toll,

Once I found you’d been unfaithful.

Pangs in my chest as I collapsed to the ground,

For true love I hadn’t found.

Seven months with you and I’ll never get closure.

Then suddenly… it’s over....
