You never asked, but I hate you
And I love you at the same time
Does the world revolves around you,
Or does it revolve around others as well?
You never asked, but hate your smirkiest grin
And yet I love you for it
Do you know that instead of helping people,
You hurt them?
You never asked, but I hate it when your right
And I love it when your wrong
Do you ever think about the nicknames others...
You never asked, But…
Thank you for all you’ve done
You know everything
About me
My sins,
My failures,
My thoughts,
My weaknesses
Yet you never
Gave up on me
Even when I
Complain and cry
You love me, even when
I couldn’t love myself
All you ask is for
Praise and worship
And for us to make
Disciples out of people
And even though, Jesus,
You have never asked,
Thank you for every...
Here we are,
Bleeding from these scars.
Asking where there were,
Wounded like a cur.
Here you are,
Head full of stars.
Plundering my sadness,
Just so I could feel less.
Here I am,
Soul worth a damn.
Wondering my thoughts,
In your net caught.
Here we were,
Overseeing our spiral.
Not causing mal,
But this is what we were.
…
Love You R

You never asked, but I love you
My blood boils
My shin crawls
My body shakes
My love is too strong
It’s an obsession
You never asked, but I hate you
My fist clenched
My body recoils
I hit you in your pretty little face
It’s a fantasy
You never asked, but I’m broken
I hate the way you make me feel
Like a monster
Like a creature
Like a cannibal
It’s true
You never asked, but I can’t do thi...
You never asked, but,
I love the way the sun
Dances golden light upon your skin,
Glittering it a pale gold.
I love the way you smile
When we twirl like the wind,
Our hands interlaced,
Quite like leaves and a breeze.
I love the way you speak,
How your voice is soft—
Your lips like sweet honey,
Spurring delicious words.
I love how you understand.
Through tough times,
You always help us win ...
There is a reason why I eat peanut m&ms even though I don’t like peanuts
There’s a reason why I take the chocolate milkshake over vanilla at certain restaurants
And why I walk in some rooms to just stop and think
Or go through different departments in the store that I have no interest in
There _is_ a reason
And the reason is him
All of these things remind me of him
And some days I just ne...
I’ve been breaking apart
These past couple of weeks
I’ve been falling into a rabbit hole
Not knowing what it is I seek
Is it truth?
Or maybe kindness?
Maybe it’s just one person
Who doesn’t call me worthless
Failures never stray past your eyes
But my successes you’ll let stride
I’ve already lost count
Of how many nights I’ve uncontrollably cried
Tears do nothing
Is what you say
With eyes dark...
You never asked, but…
It hurts me, too.
I never wanted to hurt you
But lately that seems like all I do
I care so much that I cry over thunderstorms
At the thought that those that I love could be gone in an instant
But I understand you’re the victim
When you called me about something that happened two month ago
You’ve been miserable for all that I know
Why am I even here then, though?
For most...
In silent glances, I've spoken to you,
Not with words, but with truth ever true.
You never asked, yet always knew,
The shadows of my past, the light you drew.
When first we met, you changed my core,
Made me whole, but I’m unsure,
Of who I am without your light,
In your eyes, I’ve lost my sight....
