a broken heart does not have to shatter. Rather, the pain causes the heart to expand. And it's made room for you; the only one who matters.

Handwritten for Her

[imissthegoodolddayss]

[deadwatrd]

In a language that doesn’t have the word love, I say “your hands feel more like home than this house ever did,” I say, “the first time you walked through the front door, it felt like I was experiencing religion for the first time,” I say, “something in your eyes made a part inside me that I didn’t even know was still there start to wake up,” I say, “something in you told me I need to stay just a little longer.”

I say “I left the door unlocked for months, you know, just in case you wanted to walk through it one more time,” I say, “even the last time we kissed felt like the first time all over again, butterflies between my ribs,” I say, “if I knew it was the last time I’d see you I’d have held your hand for an extra minute, just to feel the silence,” I say, “I’m sorry that I liked matches a little too much, I didn’t mean to start this fire,” I say, “but I would keep standing in it, feel her heart burning a hole in our bed every night just to stay here,” I say, “I would stay in this winter barn fire, breathing in smoke just to be able to meet eyes with you,” I say, “I would stay, I would stay, I would stay.”

God's Wrath

You and I will face God's wrath together.

They will gather from miles around to see it.

Our sins will be whispered from house to house

But forgive me,

I couldn't help but shelter you from your pain.

You and I will face God's wrath together.

Her voice will bring forth our final judgement.

Angels and Demons will unite to bring us down.

But forgive me,

I couldn't help but show you the best of life.

You and I will face God's wrath together.

We will burn and melt and crumble.

They will laugh at us as we shrink.

But forgive me,

I couldn't help but hold you when you asked.

You and I will face God's wrath together.

I will look at you and take you in until my final breath.

We will be together until the very end.

Forgive me,

I couldn't help but love you.

Flame

He feels like candle-smoke between my fingers,

ethereal, beautiful, temporary,

the result of something science still cannot properly define

@glassheartedboy

[poetnumber17]

did you realize that your beautiful human heart

is the same size as the fist you never raised against me?

despite a decade's practice

a fact solidified between 29 bones fused

into that shell that somehow encapsulates me

or at least the brain part of me

did you know that on average

my heart will always beat faster than yours?

For fight, for flight, for love, for fear, for pain

for the tenure of your voice I'm doing everything to avoid

did you know that the lips are a thousand times more sensitive than my fingertips

yet both know the tremor of a right cheek

of C5

of the ischial spine I prefer more than you did

did you know i'm emplowing this new weight loss strategy

where if I smash those 29 bones against a solid surface for long enough

I can lose 150 kcal per hour

sadly less than a Mars bar

did you know that those of us that have eyes that gave up making pigment

are more sensitive to pain

I'm not sure if that means I should poke pins in them or stop looking at sad things

at least I can see in colour

wait

did you know the average person spends two weeks kissing throughout their life?

You will

she deserves it

I won't

I'll keep weighing fists

wondering if it'll ever stop bleeding out

[soultracers]

sometimes letting go is more loving than holding on.

fuzz

you know my head gets crazy it overthinks, makes the facts all hazy i see her in your arms, in your lap i see her everywhere I'm gonna snap i hear her name on your lips hear the swing of her hips but its all in my mind? all just a dream? these late nights i just find myself splitting at the seems. I’ll whisper a strand of my fears you tuck my hair behind my ears assure me its okay and with your arm around me it all disappears. but tonight you’re gone again and i’m stuck alone in my head again you said you wouldn’t do anything said my fears were all just me but i can’t stop seeing her  arm around me to calm my nerves i want to believe you’ll never leave.
