[stardust-stains]

When we are apart,

My heart is stone;

Slow to beat, and slower

To feel.

When I see you,

My heart is molten;

Burning me up, and dripping

Down my ribs.

When you hug me,

My heart is glass;

Quick to cut, and quicker

To shatter.

When you smile at me,

My heart is helium;

Trying to escape and to

Show you everything.

[stardust-stains]

I said I walked

Into love with you.

Don't get me wrong, love,

That is true.

But if you always

Have your head down,

If you watch your steps

And not what's around,

You'll see each step you take.

But you might not see

Where your steps take you.

[stardust-stains]

I'm blind without my glasses,

And it seems you're blind with yours.

How else can you miss all these clues,

When they're marching four-by-four?

[stardust-stains]

Love is such an easy thing

To say when it's in ink.

But saying it out loud,

I just know I'd overthink.

[stardust-stains]

I made a deal with the devil, my love,

But I didn't take away your say.

No, the thing I sold my soul for, my love,

Was seeing you every day.

[stardust-stains]

I sit here at this small, wooden desk,

And think of what to say.

But you always leave me speechless,

Even if I saw you just earlier today.

[stardust-stains]

Your tears are not made of water,

They're diamonds, sharp enough to cut.

They slash my heart to ribbons,

And out of my eyes leaks blood.

[stardust-stains]

How do I love you?

Let me count the ways...

Oh, darling. You of all people should know,

Infinity's not something you count.

After all, it shines bright in your eyes,

A mountain with no mount.

[stardust-stains]

I'll make you a deal, my love.

I'll make a deal 'bout when I'll say.

I'll tell you that it's you

On your sixteenth birthday.

[stardust-stains]

You are an artwork, darling,

A sculpture encased in glass.

More perfect than anything I could create,

And definitely strong enough to last.

You are an artwork, darling,

So beautifully and carefully made.

I want to free you, and smash your casing,

But dare not, lest I cause you pain.

You are an artwork, darling.

The most exquisite carving.

[stardust-stains]

Your eyes, they look like fire, my love,

A fire too hot to touch.

But I take no note of the warnings, my love,

And laugh as I go up like a match.

[stardust-stains]

I churn these out, day after day,

Put my heart in my hand, my love.

At some point, I'll have no more to say,

And I'll leave my heart in the mud.

[stardust-stains]

I wrap my arm around your waist,

You put your head on mine.

If I'm to move, should I make haste,

Or follow the path pre-divined?

[stardust-stains]

I hold you close, and breathe you in,

It doesn't mean anything, right?

It's just two friends - one gay, one not -

Just gals being pals tonight.

[stardust-stains]

hi i'm back, sorry (had to take a hot second, i had so much going on and ok maybe i've been having a fun sexy lil mental breakdown for the past lil while but it's only affecting me so we vibe). anyway i'm back now and ready to post more horrendous poetry cause she still hasn't given me my book back and i have no reason to trust her and multiple reasons not to trust her! let's go :D

[stardust-stains]

Shall I compare you to Aphrodite?

You were not born of seafoam, nor of clouds,

But darling, you were made of sand and sea;

You've royal blood, to make you stand so proud.

[stardust-stains]

How do I love you? Let me count the ways.

I love you as the Sun does love the Moon;

Dying each night, and rising 'gain each day,

Just to hear her wonderful dream-song croon.

How do I love you? Let me count the ways.

I love you as a great mind loves to think;

The cogs and wheels turning day after day,

And sometimes even being put down in ink.

How do I love you? Let me count the ways.

I love you as a miser loves his gold;

Parting with it only on his death-day,

And giving it ev'ry piece of his soul.

How do I love you? Let me count the ways...

I love you more with every passing day.
