Don’t care about those who hurt you. Don’t hurt those who care about you.
It's silence I crave, it's why I swim
The weight of water
Over me
Around me-
The safe silence of submergence.
At the waters edge I may be ugly,
But underwater, we are made equal And
When I speak strokes
I Am Beautiful.
-Adaptation of my favourite book, the weight of water by Sarah Crossan
“Love isn’t only love, sweetheart. It’s hard work, and trust, and tears, with even a few glimpses of devastation. But at the end of each day, if you can still look at the person at your side and can’t imagine anyone else you’d rather have there, the pain, the heartache and the ups and downs of love are worth it.”
— Nicole Williams
“I like you a lot, yes its true and I hope one day you and I can become more than friends, discerning my feelings for you sometimes feels like I’m sailing around the cape of storms in a small dingy, at least in this small bay I’m winning but if you don’t feel the same way its okay. l will just quietly beach my boat and watch the waves go by…”
— how to tell my friend I like her..,,
You deserve the love you keep trying to give everyone else.
They say a picture of you is worth a Thousand words,
But looking at you my memory is Somewhat blurred
Watched my efforts end in vain like blood
Thought my memories of you would stick like glue
Scrolling through my gallery
Pictures of you once took they toll
But now my heart feels nothing
In the midst of our forgotten dialogues
I shed no tears for what remains
I'm always one to remember the good Times
Yet with you I remember nothing
They always teach of true love
Never of true heartbreak
So, like they say in the scriptures
Blessed are those,
who have never met you they shall never know the meaning of true heartbreak

when I think about sunshine and laughter it is your face that comes to my mind.
I'm holding you tightly so you don't slip away away, I think I'm holding on too tight my finger lingering slowly up, it strokes your soft hand, along your cheeks, I twist my finger around your hair. damn, I forgot you don't like that.
I see something in your eyes fuck, I'm stranded in an art museum.
I'm alone in your garden and my head is full of you. I like you too much I want you all to myself. What is your dream, this world. Our Dreamworld. The garden we are laying seeds down for. I think, what if one day I have to forget your eyes? Your voice ? I wonder will I lose you? I'm holding on so tight, it feels like I'm fighting a whole city.
The seeds, what will happen to the seeds I'm planting. the trees, the flowers, the lilies, the roses, the sunflowers and avo trees - they always were too expensive in shops. will they have blossomed? Have you tasted its fruit? will I have to tear it down, Will I have to burn this garden too? I can't,
I will water it forever and wait but what if you return only with a firestick? My tears fill up rivers for you. But my feelings fill the ocean. Is this an endless garden? don't plant thistles or ivy! My heart pains, I hate tearing down gardens, Have I already? Tell me what it is that you see? In the mirror I see, no lily, no rose, no sunflower. I turn and see baby blue Cadillacs driven by peg-legged nuns on pogo sticks. I lay my head on your heart I hear one, two, three heartbeats.
Will I be turned into a person who's text is left on read. but don't worry I say. I will never say a word
Her: I wish someone would take me out on a date
Me: well my lady, let's go out
Her: you are asking me out, are you going joking or...
Me: well no if you say yes to my date
Her: you are crazy
Me: I have to go...
Baby, who has two phones?
I loved to write for you, I used to send you postcards, And I absolutely liked it so muchhhh. Then you told me to stop. Why do I love you and hate you
i bury words beneath my tongue
like we bury people once they're gone,
i worry that your mouth might
unearth them with a kiss
but sometimes i just wonder
what you hide behind your lips.
i want to tell you i love you
like a song completely new,
i don't want to sound
like some cover,
a reprise without the truth.
my love speaks in French,
but you only know English,
my love sounds like nonsense
and i don't think that you're fluent.
my love sounds like a splutter,
when it's really a language to learn;
it should resound like a symphony,
a tumbling tongue and a stutter
is not what you deserve.
