I love you

From the way you laugh

To the hair on your head

I love you

Because you're everything I've ever wanted

And more

I love you

Because a life without you

Is a life I don't need

I love you

Because you're the best I will ever do

I love you

Because you know how to make me smile and laugh

With just the simplest of words

I love you

Because talking to you

Makes my day

I love you

Because you have your flaws

And you have your scars

I love you

Because you have your secrets

Yet you tell me it all

I love you

Because you're overly complex

Like a puzzle with missing pieces

I love you

Because you're full of simplicity

Always answering with a stream of words

Instead of an ocean

I love you

Because of the way your eyes seem to gleam when I look at you

I love you

Because of the way your face flushes red and you turn away

Whenever I catch you looking at me

I love you

Because you support me and believe in me

When I don't believe in myself

I love you

Because when I'm with you

I feel loved and safer than

I ever have

I love you

Because loving you is a challenge

That I want to win

I love you

Because loving me is a challenge

But you do it anyways

I love you

Because you've made my world a little bit better each and every day

I love you

Because you're my soulmate

I love you

|Dedicated to my soulmate|

The night you left me

I didn't cry

I wasn't sad

I felt nothing

But relief

After years

Years of

Nothing but

Abuse

The night you left

I knew in my heart

It was for the best

My friends would ask me

Are you okay

With a smile on my face I say yes

Little do they know

The nights I cry myself to sleep at night

Because of the awful words you say

The night you left

I felt nothing

As you bled

With a quick shot to the head

You collapsed down

Turning the floors red

I wanted to cry

As I watched you bleed

But there was no feeling inside of me

The night you left

I didn't cry

Instead I decided

That night would be my last

I thought that maybe you were the one

Maybe you wouldn't hurt me

Maybe you wouldn't betray me

Slowly and slowly

I begin to fall

You tell me it's okay

I've seen it all

I fall

You look at me with those deep brown eyes

Giving me faith and courage

I fall

I feel your lips on mine

Taking my words

I fall

Your breath is heavy

I consume you like a drug

I fall

Your lies continue

This isn't love

I fall

I'm heartbroken

No longer is this worth it

I shouldn't have been the one falling

You're the one who should be

Taking the fall
