[raisasncharles]

I want you to trip

and fall

into this love.

To get up,

covered

in this love,

look around

and see

there’s no place

you’d rather be

than in this love

with me.

[raisasncharles]

Clarity

Silly me I mistook you for someone else I gave you all the love Meant for someone else You looked just like them Through my rose-coloured glasses But now I can see Silly me I mistook you for someone else

[raisasncharles]

Duality

Manic Pixie dream-girl

Depressive Gargoyle nightmare-woman

I am sugar and gall

Honey and aloe

We must all learn to take the sweet with the bitter

[raisasncharles]

Breeze moves through the trees

Reading and writing

Alchemy

Like breathing to me

[raisasncharles]

I love you.

But I will not sacrifice myself for you.

You have my heart;

My undying devotion was never part of the package.

[raisasncharles]

Overthinking

Picking apart actions from reactions.

Ner-

nerve-

nervous twitching.

Breathing shallow. Toes going numb

System overstimulated. Stimulus unknown

[raisasncharles]

What ever love, peace or grace you find in me, take freely of it. It was always yours to have.

[raisasncharles]

I have phases like the moon 

and rhythm like the tides. 

Flow with me. 

Some days the water will be rough 

and neither of us will be able to find our feet. 

On days like this, 

when the sea takes you away from me 

and me away from you

and we can neither see each other above the height of the waves 

nor hear each other over the sound of their crashing, 

I pray we will learn to float 

Until time 

and tide 

Bring us together once more.
