❤ I'm sorry ❤ I'm sorry that life has betrayed you like this. Taken the sugar out of your blis. I'm sorry for every bite that replaced the kiss. I'm sorry that love hurts you like this. That you had to grow up when you're just a kid. I'm sorry about your innocence that they stripped. Bought your life with a flimsy promise. I'm sorry that the heart that once burnt with desire for you is as cold as ice and forever blue. I'm sorry that once you were too much but now you ain't even yourself, you ain't even enough. I'm sorry that it took away your beauty and gave you the scars but the biggest in your heart. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry you far less than what you deserved. I'm sorry those tears flow through your eyes. I'm sorry that now you have to get drunk in prayer. I'm sorry that bible isn't a choice anymore. I'm sorry that God has to be your only hope I'm sorry that you have to go to heaven like this. I'm sorry for all the tears, all the sorrow, the regret and that love came to you in this way. I'm sorry that you fell in love with the wrong person and that now you are too weak to walk away. . . . .

I once went to a camp where they made us walk around the room, stop and stare in the eyes of whoever we met until we could find something beautiful in them. We also had to describe the beauty we found with a comparison.

It was surprisingly easy for me. There was this girl who looked exactly like splashing cold water on your scalp after running around in the summer. There was this other girl who looked like how cherry tomatoes taste, and she almost cried when someone else told her that the fact that her face gets so red every time she laughs is absolutely beautiful. There was this lean and tall, curly haired boy who looked exactly like the tiny flowers of the chestnut trees in the central park of my town.

It might sound cheesy, and to be completely honest, it is. But it makes me smile so much. Whenever I feel upset in any way, I like to do this with strangers on the street. Would recommend

This is my favorite sonnet by Shakespeare. I actually have it memorized and I can recite it. Are there any poems that you love so terribly that you have to know them by heart?

This may be my favorite spoken word poem ever. The very last line gets stuck in my head sometimes and I just have to whisper it to myself as I eat cereal or fix my hair or whatever I happen to be doing. So lovely.
