My life is comprised of invisible wars

Nonstop giving when they ask for more

Chipping off pieces to fit your taste

Until I find myself completely erased

[novicepen]

There’s not a single person in my life who will be surprised once I can finally speak about the truth.

[novicepen]

I’ve never kissed you before, but somehow I feel like I already have

[novicepen]

It will never be the ones who deserve to cry who end up shedding tears for you

[novicepen]

I wonder how long the indentation on my skin will linger from the ring I wore for you. Over a month and I think it’s almost gone.

[novicepen]

Something I’ve been thinking about today, I drove past a place from my past…

A where I once considered ending things many years ago.

So many times I’ve passed and thought about going back.

However, today, I realized that I have a strong conviction to live — so much so that I have gained a slight fear of dying.

I fear I will die before I show you how I’ve loved you all these years.

I fear that if things crash and burn between us, I’ll never be able to repair them.

I fear that something will end my life before I can experience intertwining mine with yours.

[novicepen]

It's amusing to consider you reading the things I've put on here. I imagine that your eyes are skimming the lines looking for a new piece of me only to find you already know so much more. I've already given you far more than I've ever allowed before, yet I still have so much for you.

It's the 10th anniversary of the day I decided it was a fantastic idea to spoil my feelings on a public blog. It hasn’t bit me in the ass yet so maybe it wasn’t such a bad idea.

[novicepen]

Would you call a two hour conversation with someone you care about a waste of time?

Personally, I think it’s just as productive as watching a two hour movie or reading part of a book.

To which he says “I already have a job and a degree so I get to do those things.”

[novicepen]

I sincerely hope and even pray that one day my children will experience having a person understand them the way you do for me.

[novicepen]

I wish I could enchant an object to show me your vitality. When you’re not present, I never doubt your love. However, I can’t help fearing for your safety. An object that shows me your beating heart in the palm of my hand is the talisman of my dreams.

You say you asked me if I feel empathy because you were genuinely curious, but I don’t believe you for a single second.

[remanence-of-love]

[novicepen]

Over three decades you’ve spent,

Tending to the wall in your mind,

Adding layers of brick and steel,

Until you felt yourself begin to shine.

Hammer snd nails in my pockets,

I attempted my usual tricks,

Something had to eventually give

Because I was getting sick.

[novicepen]

Like a grade schooler with their first crush, I write your last name next to mine and stare at it. Something about it feels more correct than I ever expected it to. Thrillingly terrifying.

[novicepen]

You say you’re an open book.

And maybe that’s the truth,

But your book is in another language

One that I could never understand
