You’re Safe With Me

Some days feel like the darkness is taking over,

But you’re stronger than they will ever know.

You don’t have to worry about them.

I will forever keep you safe.

They can’t hurt you now.

Maybe I Don’t Think Enough

I thought you loved me enough to know everything.

Maybe I was stupid to think you cared.

Maybe I shouldn’t have let you in.

But it is too late now.

Now, you aren’t going anywhere.

Thank You

I have so many questions for you

That will never be answered.

What do you think about every night

Before you close your eyes?

How did you decide

That I was “the one?”

What are you thinking

When you look into my eyes?

Do you really love me

As much as you say you do?

The world can be a scary place.

You make me forget that.

I think I’ve found the one person

Who can make my life

The fairytale I’ve always dreamed of.

We don’t need others approval.

We don’t need the world to know everything.

I must admit I doubted this at first.

I thought we would never make it.

I didn’t think we would get past awkward,

But we made it.

Every spare second I have

Is spent thinking about you.

Somehow, I’ve always known

You were my perfect match.

When I look into your eyes,

I can see our future.

I love you more than you will ever know.

No one has ever felt the same way about me

As I have about them.

I’m so glad you’re a part of my life.

I’m so glad you chose me.

I haven’t known you my whole life.

We have no history.

We’ve been together

For the majority of the time

We’ve been in each other’s lives.

It’s scary to think that a year ago,

I didn’t know who you were

And now, I can’t imagine life without you.

I’m so lucky to be loved by someone like you.

Thank you for everything.

What is madness to you?

You Are My Madness

Madness is staying up every night

not caring about getting enough sleep

if it means I get to talk to you.

Madness is it being impossible

for you to ever leave my mind.

No matter what I’m doing,

you are part of my thoughts.

Madness is all the doubts I have

when you aren’t by my side.

It’s the way every fear melts away

the second you wrap me in your arms.

Madness is all I’ve given up

just to be with you.

I would sacrifice almost everything

to be with you forever.

Madness is not caring how quickly

you could change your mind about me.

You could leave me any second,

but it doesn’t matter.

I want as much of you as you’re willing to give.

Madness is believing all the promises

even though the odds are against us.

You say you could never stop loving me.

I hope it’s true.

Madness is believing we can make it.

We don’t have a chance,

but you make me believe it will all be okay.

You are my madness.

You are the cause of my anxiety,

but you are also the reliever of my stress.

I don’t know what the future holds,

but it will all be okay

if you stay.

Faith

There is one person on this Earth in whom I have complete faith. She is my best friend. I know I can count on her. I know she will always be there for me. She listens to me. She cares about me. It doesn’t matter how many times I complain and complain about the same thing over and over again. She helps me through everything. She is the most loyal person I know. I don’t know what I would do without her. I might fall apart. I hope she stays a part of my life for a very long time. She makes me happy. She makes me feel less weird and out of place. I am so lucky to have someone like her in my life. I hope she knows she can trust me too.

Help

It's hard to never ask for help and then find someone who says they will always be there to help you but then you don't know how to get help when you need it so you just make a bigger mess of things and you wish you had kept everything in your head where it belongs.

Shots

Gunshots fire all around me,

The air is heavy with smoke and soot,

I crotch low to the ground,

Hair tucked in my hat.

My finger on the trigger,

I hate this.

I trace the ring on my left hand,

Thinking of you I shoot,

I must live for you,

Not yet can I die.

All I see is pain and death,

Did the man I shot,

Have a wife?

Stop.

I must not give in,

To survive, I must hide,

My passion,

My sweet side.

Help me.

Running I see bodies,

I try not look,

Not that I would recognize,

Any of the remains.

The booming of the cannons,

The crisp bangs of the guns,

Seem never ending.

I see people dying,

I struggle to protect the wounded,

Careful about my low supply,

Of ammunition.

Bang.

Pain rips trough my side,

I collapse, gasping,

Dizziness over takes me.

No, I must live,

My hand clenches my side,

Blood is gushing.

Crawling feels like agony,

I need to make it back,

To the safe place.

I love you.

Tears are flowing hard now,

I might not make it,

The blood is coming fast,

Way too fast.

Help me.

You Were Worth It

i’ve seen the change in you

the way you’ve gone from loving

to cold and distant

in almost no time at all

i see the way you protect your phone

you think i don’t know

i hate to break it to you

but i’m not as oblivious as you think

and through it all,

i remember a time

when you loved me

i remember a time

when i was the only girl you could see

i remember a time

when i was enough for you

i think i made you happy for a while

i think i helped you

out of the dark space

you forced yourself into

i’d be lying

if i said you didn’t help me too

you listened to me

you cared for me

you made me laugh

you have no idea how long it had been

since anyone had been able

to put me in such a constant state

of happiness

i ended up getting hurt

but it was all worth it

I Love You

i doubt a lot

i have trouble believing

what can’t be seen

but there is one thing

i know to be true

there is one thing

i am sure

could never be proven wrong

i love you

i really do

i love you with everything i am

everything i have been

everything i will be

it will never matter to me

whether or not you feel the same

your feelings for me

don’t affect my feelings for you

i’ve been waiting my whole life

to find someone

i have an unwavering affection for

that person is you

and it always will be

it doesn’t matter what happens

you will always hold my heart

you will hold my life

wherever you go

it’s yours

i will trust you

with my most valuable

and most guarded possession

i trust you

i love you

i am yours

don’t leave me behind

i need you
