My heart grew heavy as I watched him wipe the tears from his eyes
Pride had not been an issue in that moment
Because in that moment
Nothing matter
Nothing but the love he had for her

I know I’ve cried for wolves when there were none
Merely sheep in disguise
And to you I am only a face in the crowd
Another in the sea of people who will retreat with the tide
But these feelings for you grow with each passing day
And though they may bring forth no fruit
Your memory has marked my heart

The Last Dance
I would love to spin on balconies
Or a terrace, underneath the moon
With a view of the city, shining just for us.
I see your face in other men sometimes.
I feel your hand when mine is cold.
I catch myself thinking of what could’ve been
What could be, and the lightly dusted…
From across the room
I can feel the heat of her blood
Boiling underneath her skin from anger
Ready to erupt
And the words on the tip of her tounge
“It’s over!”
Start to choke her
Holding back the tears that will
Surely evaporate on her fiery flesh
She stays clenching to this pain
Because she loves him
But oh how his lies break her heart
Yet her pride is too strong
To ever let a man know that he hurt her
But the king of her world was only a pauper
And in the morning
If you hear on the news that my heart stopped
Just know it’s from beating too fast
Because of all the love I had for you

Day 15- Post a poem (written by someone else) that you love (for any reason)
Scars
1- If I could, I would nail these hands to the edges of stars
I would sacrifice this body to the sky, hoping to resurrect as someone spiteful enough
To not give a fuck about you.
2- Staple me to a cross. Pierce my side with a broken promise
And I will bleed all the crippled reasons why you deserve one more chance
3- Your bed smells like the last thing that I was really good at.
4- You wanna know how I got these scars.
I ripped every last piece of you out of my smile
5- I whispered you stardust
6- I spoke you into sunflowers
7- I dipped my hands in forever, touched you infinity, treated you like you were the last molecule of oxygen in a gas chamber, I was good to you
8-You wanna know how I got these scars, I swallowed my pride and then it clawed its way out of my mouth
9- I realized that I was never really your boyfriend, I was just your fuckin hype man
10- I hope your next boyfriend gets smallpox
10- YES I said small pox!
10- I hate you!
10- I miss you!
10- I love you!
10- It’s hard for me to count when I get emotional!
10- I heard that 90% of human interaction is nonverbal so….
10- If I could I would tie your arms to a daydream and then auction you off to my fondest memories
See I wrote this poem in my own spinal fluid, I put it on the backbone of a white flag
So before you read it, you’ll already know that I’ve given up, I’ll just keep you here.
See I’ve come to the most important chapter of my life story
Pressed into the basement of my eyelids like liquid salvation so I remember you beautiful, with amazing underneath your wings and an orchid smile
You gorgeous earthquake.
You cracked hourglass with sand spilling from behind your ribs,
You wasted my time.
How dare you linger on my lips, and then kiss me like a stuttering apology with excuses stapled to the roof of your mouth
I still remember you like a dream, tattooed to the inner walls of my long term memory
But some days, I wonder if you existed at all.
And of course, you wanna know how I got these scars.
Well fine. I’ll tell you.
I got these scars the day that I fell in love with you.
I landed face first.
This is amazing … oh how I know that pain
