someone I loved momentarily once called me sunshine & I smiled as brightly as I could for him for as long as I could no one had ever called me that before i tried to pretend I was the sun just as he thought I was but he didn’t see the storms brewing in my eyes or all the rainwater I swallowed  until we were standing ankle deep in it & once it started raining it didn’t stop for months he stopped calling me sunshine & eventually tired of staying afloat i didn’t blame him he had probably never met someone who could shine as brightly as I could temporarily then cause the most destructive storms we moved on but it was nice being the sun for a moment.

On being the sun momentarily

It’s not that I forgot about you, it’s just I’m growing I am just changing on a daily and there wasn’t anything slowing me down not even the love you gave.

Imperfections

Your two-inch white scar on your right leg

That's such a "war wound"

The tiny circular ding near your right eye

From that "bar fight"

Your crooked, sexy smirk

When you "think" you're right

A constant clanging of noise

Surrounds you: T.V., Audible, Youtube & Spotify

You can't handle silence for too long

Because it'll keep you constantly thinking

Your two-hour long stories

Could have been told in a few minutes

Your motor of loud engine snores

Which disturb MY sleep

Your brain which never stops running

So you must often anesthetize

Forget putting the toiletpaper roll on right

I feel fortunate if you remember to pull it out

You often say you're immortal

You'll be at our deathbed: we won't die alone

You constantly gag on your toothbrush

Gotta get your throat clean

Your imperfections help define you

Separate you from the rest

I refuse to imagine life without you

I love you... flaws and all.

I cast my net into the sea, hoping to catch a mermaid, but her love escapes me like moonlight upon the dark water.

I miss you too, but that doesn’t mean we should be together again.

She was stroking my cock in the poetry reading, and for once i was enjoying the reading.

Sometimes I look in the mirror and I’m okay with what I see.

The girl looks happy in a way that’s not familiar anymore.

Those times are few and far in between.

Sometimes I look into the mirror and I think, “God, you could look so much better.”

Those are the days that come by often.

They slink in and stay for weeks at a time. They cause sadness and indifference.

Those are the days that anger and sadness are close but can be kept at bay.

Other times, I look into the mirror and all I see is hate.

Hate for my skin, the color of my eyes, everything about my hair, the fat on my body.

Those are the days where nothing is alright.

Where nothing can look or feel right.

Those are the days my bad attitude has free reign because there is nothing holding back that dragon.

That is the time I want to rip and carve off my skin with my nail-bitten fingers.

Rip all the hair out of my head and let it burn.

Remove my eyes so I don’t have to see them or anything again.

Starve myself to death, because really, what does it matter anymore?

I can’t stand the sight of myself, but I don’t want to change.

I want to love myself, but the problem is, there is no one in the world who loves themselves, faults and all, no matter what they say.

They all looked at you, but never one that looked at you like i do.

They all spoke of you, but never one that spoke of a fallen love like i do.

They are all your concerns, but here, you never gave one bit.

similar souls attract each other. though our bodies may not be immortal; our feelings are forever absolute.

In the end of the day, The blooming flowers fades away, Just like when you let go of me, My heart faded away day by day!

She won't give up on you, as long as you don't give up on you.
