I Know That You’re Asleep, But
I know that you’re asleep, But I just wanted to say; That I simply cannot stand it, That you are so far away.
I know that you’re asleep, But I just want you to know; That every moment we’re apart, Is a time I miss you so.
I know that you’re asleep, But I just want you to hear; That you’re the one I long for, Any time that you aren’t near.
I know that you’re asleep, But I just wanted to share; That even when life’s difficult, You’re still always right there.
I know that you’re asleep. And I wish that I was too.
I know that you’re asleep But I’m not, and I miss you.
Kierra
Kierra is a girl I know, beautiful and kind.
I think I fell in love with her, I cannot change my mind.
Every single thing she does makes me love her more.
Rarely do I feel this way, but her, I adore.
Radiant light, like the sun, pours out when she smiles.
And I will be right by her side for miles upon miles.
Her
Her hair, her eyes, her smile, her laugh, I wish I could keep it in a photograph.
Her heart, her body, her soul, her mind, I want her, I want her to be mine.
To me she’s like the heaven, Come down to the earth.
To me she is my everythin, And everythin she’s worth.
I miss her like crazy, I love her like mad.
She makes me feel dizzy, Without her I’m sad.
I don’t know what to say. I don’t know what to do.
But whatever happens, I know I want her to be there too.
what life has in store for us
I guess if you really liked me I mean, actually liked me for whatever stupid reasons you may have then somehow we’ll be brought together I don’t know if I like you or not I don’t think I do but I think I could maybe and maybe if one day I could then one day I will and one day we’ll be okay together we’ll be okay together and everything will feel okay because you would actually like me somehow you would and I would like you too but only if any of this is true only if you actually do like me and even if you don’t that’s fine because I don’t like you either not like that at least not right now but who knows what life has in store for us maybe everything will change or maybe it won’t
Love Against All Odds
I loved you then I love you now I cherish, you my love
Sure, we may fall apart Along the way But that won’t change My beating heart
Even when the moon is No longer above I’ll love you even when Darkness seems to never end
My love for you is stronger than Any diamond, any storm, and any Wild oak
You’re my other half The missing puzzle piece My every breath My everything
Even till death do us part, I will love you more than words Can describe I promise you that
To me, I’ll always love you more Than anyone or anything To me, you will always be mine And I will always be yours
Love against all odds We will get through whatever The world may throw at us Love against all odds, my love
Love Against All
Love against all odds What a feeling
To love something, Someone so strongly
A love so great You’d do anything
A love so large that Consequences mean Nothing in comparison
When the world
Tells you no but you’re
Crazy enough to say yes
You no longer care about What may come your way
A love against all odds That’s what we had
Maybe we loved Each other too fiercely
Maybe we didn’t love Each other enough
Maybe if we didn’t love Each other as much You’d still be here
So what if there would be Something missing
At least you would Still be alive…
Even if I wouldn’t
Love
Love is a beautiful feeling that can not truly be described or comprehended by the human mind but only felt in our everbeating hearts. Love is a delicate thing not everyone deserves it but most get it. Only the ones who are truly alone and in need of an embrace are neglected in the way of love. Love is a beautiful feeling though abused and misused and thought to be understood only the ones who truly deserve it know how to feel the beutiful feeling of love.

Starlight And Her Spark
In the vastness of the cosmos Out where moonbeams never shone I drifted, but a snuffed out star In dimness, left alone
Without a fire to guide me I pawed through asteroid dust Grasping for another star On whose light I could trust
How quickly other lights had fled On seeing my estate No comfort for a blackened star That miserable ingrate
But there was one who ventured To step nearer to my mark Who saw brilliance in a sullen star And so became my spark
When around was desolation It was then he held me near Igniting something in that star Effacing all her fears
And slowly, although painful As that spark shone in the night I noticed deep within, my star Was filling up with light
So I held him ever closer Willing never to let go Until the light from spark to star Penetrated the cosmos
Though we both once walked in shadows Now we balk at talk of dark And the heavens laud the stories Of sweet Starlight and her Spark ✨
Me; A Now Necrophilic Teenager
In love with your body So lean, So cold
Stroking your body Head to toes
Our love smells Of rot And decay
I kiss your limp hands Lick my pain away
“I love you.” I say Holding me in your arms
I flick a maggot off your arm Waiting for your response
Your eyes stare at me Empty Black holes of void
And I smile Stroking you, my toy
“Such a beautiful picture, you are.” The bruises on your neck The wounds in your spleen
And you sit there Happy with me
Because you’re the only one That’ll stay By my side
A dead boy With open eyes
Love

Love is a _strange _word. It means something different Every time you say it A truth, a lie A way to say goodbye.
Love is a _terrifying _word. You can’t say it without commitment Without a promise That you’ll stay Night and day
Love is a _funny _word. You don’t know what it means Until you have truly lost it Remembering, missing Dancing and kissing
Love is a _beautiful _word. It persists and changes And grows Against all odds Though we’re broken and flawed I am here.
