Pictures hold memories
And memories hold people
Far or near
Apart but connected

Tears hold emotions
And emotions embrace peace
The eyes are lifted
While the heart makes peace with its broken peices
And the memories we share last forever.

embraced by the sea we stand,
Eyes glistening with dreams of what could be,
Staring towards a future unplanned,
Our hands embodied as a symbol of unity.

"Is this love?"
I whisper in the salty air,
Your smile, a fire igniting my soul.
Is this the love beyond compare,
That mends my broken pieces and makes me whole?

My heart screams out your name,
You've rescued it from depths unknown,
Once discarded, now it's refined,
With a love that's pure and bright.

Is this love, I ask again,
Ready to release an aching distress,
Just say yes, and I'll break down walls,
Opening my heart to you, ready to confess.

Say yes, and I'll pour out all I am,
In a symphony of love that knows no end,
Say yes, let our souls entwined, for our love is far, far greater than a poet’s love
Say yes, and to eternity we'll ascend.

In the quiet of the night, I start to write
Recalling moments that haunt me, like whispers in the night

My heart still feels the thorns, a burden that's all mine
Trying to erase the scars etched deep in my soul

I drink the last drop of joy, impatient for the end
Longing for a new dawn, where past hurts will amend
To forget the pain, the betrayal, the lies
That once bloomed like roses, before my eyes

No, it's not love, just a fleeting illusion
That leaves me drowning in a sea of confusion
I wish to break free, to leave it all behind

Even in my wildest state
I can't escape the pain, a relentless weight
A longing for peace, from this endless ache
A wish to forget, for my heart's own sake

This feeling that I feel inside

It stabs my heart a thousand times
Gnaw on my throat like termites in the dirt
It rip out my lungs and tremble on them like dried autumn leaves

Oh, this feeling I feel inside is eating me alive
It hangs on my chest like monkeys in the wild
And refuses to let go for things might be mild

This feeling I feel inside
Forces me to hide
And mumbled words I could never say aloud

This feeling I feel inside might just be my greatest enemy
But The enemy of an enemy is a friend
So…I can never be my own friend

This feeling I feel inside
I hate with every fiber in my bones
I wish to disappear with the wind

Perhaps to a place of no return
Or maybe just until I’m made whole again
Oh, this feeling I feel inside makes me hate myself even more
