for the boy

whom I love more

than sunflowers love the sun

Love is a concept all so shiny and kind burning it’s existence into our mind only leaving a bittersweet taste behind. Making us believe that the only way to ever feel released is if we let us fall into it’s depths. Not knowing where the bottom is not warning us about all the pieces it is going to tear us apart into. Love is a concept for the brave ones the ones willing to let go of all they ever knew because if you are going to love you will eventually become someone new.

The decreased breaking

The unlinear healing

The increased loving

the decreased breaking

Independence;

Raised to be fearless and brave

yet still never finding the courage to leave this cage.

The cage I buildt to protect myself

so no one could ever see this weakness

that has been taught to me as a sin

so it has to be hidden deep beneath my skin.

Never relying on outmembers

so my cage of independence

would never be in danger

of being torn apart by a stranger.

But then I met those eyes

strangly at first but whom they belonged to

was always so nice.

And it made me feel safe,

yet my cage of independence was endangered

to be torn apart.

Because how could I ever be independent

when every look I threw at you was seen as art.

And my heart which belonged to me

was suddenly aching to be given away

yet the cage of Independence

was too strong to let it go.

So I had to be brave

once again.

Hiding my weakness

once again.

Making my skin seem thicker

than it ever actually was

once again.

So I had to do the unforgivable

once again.

And let you go.

Broken dreams;

This pain started to fill up my whole body.

This pain I was mercy of.

And with every passing second,

I could feel my happiness pass away.

And with every fading memory,

I could feel my dream fade away.

The dream of me and you,

and the dream I now know will never come true.

And in this moment,

I swore myself to never let someone in again,

to never be someones second choice ever again.

I swore myself to stay alone until the very end.

-The moment you broke me.

The differences of loving;

Loving you was like a drug.

every second I spent thinkig about you

yet you weren’t as nearly as dependent on it

as I wished you do.

My body longing for yours

making me be in physical pain by every absence

yet you seemed to be so fine

when I wasn’t in your presence.

Hurting like I’ve never felt hurt before

my mind destroyed and only filled

with the thought of you.

Yet your thoughts never actually seemed

to evolve around me.

So I had to learn to be okay just the way you are

but it seemed to be impossible for me

to ever be apart.

Apart of your presence

your warmth

your voice

even the beating of your heart.

They all made me feel
