Sunsets are the best
Until images of him
Filled her memory

Many won't agree with what I'm going to say but it's a truth that needs to be heard. Love doesn't really hurt, it heals. If you've known love as something that ruptures your soul so you ended up shredded, maybe what you had was a counterfeit and haven't really met love after all.
For...
Love doesn't judge. It understands. Love doesn't take offense. It forgives. Love doesn't ridicule. It appreciates. Love doesn't outcast. It takes you into its arms for comfort. Love doesn't abuse. It heals.
Love is love. And it's something that you can run to after a long day of fighting wars. It's something that can put you back together after you've been shattered. It's something you can trust with your life for it doesn't betray. It's love.
And it's not...
A train. You don't need a ticket to board it. You don't need to run on your toes to catch it because it's leaving. Love doesn't leave. It stays. Surprisingly, even when we don't need it, it's just there.
It's not...
A game. People would play it with their selfish rules. But it doesn't need to be played. No one wins or loses in love. We're all equal in its eyes.
It's not...
On material things. It can't be measured by the value of gifts given. It can't be monetized. It doesn't have a currency.
It's not...
Something that you have to deserve. There are no requirements. You don't need to be beautiful or intelligent or rich or famous. We're all worthy of love. No one is below or above us.
For...
Love is love, regardless of how society tries to stain its name in an effort to fit it into the norms. It's been disgraced. Used to manipulate. Screamed out to frighten those who don't have a slight clue about what it is.
So...
If the hands you hold push you to be a stone and don't seem to transform you at all, let go. If the lips you kiss spit venom into your tongue that you end up poisoned and left to die, let go. If the arms wrapped around your waist don't hold you like you're going to fall apart, let go. If the eyes you stare at pierce your flesh that you bleed and shriek out in pain, let go. It's not love. I said it earlier and I'll say it again: LOVE DOESN'T HURT, IT HEALS.
Think about that.
(my love, you aren't aware of this but you redefine love to me everyday.)

Billions of stars scattered
None outshines
Your eyes
Baby they shine
Brightly tonight
As I-
Once again fall
In love
With the beautiful soul
I glimpse
From your retinas
-glimpse from your retinas,
-katie, 01:30
But darling will it be fine,
If all I can offer is a dream
Just a dream
I whispered
To the constellations?
(because I've nothing else to offer, seriously!)
-katie, 21:35
My heart is a place
Where pain has resided
A barren space
Where violence was incited
There have been
Broken fragments inside it
Scattered all around
So everyone
Who entered
Tripped and fell
And get bruised
Ran away
To seek shelter
Somewhere safe
And warmer
Than the winter
That engulfed me
For...
I was cursed
To make anyone
Who loves me suffer
For I'm not whole
Been in pieces for so long
Then you came
Like a silver lining
Who walked in
Exuding light
That sent worries
Out the door
You touched my skin
That has long been torn
As though you can heal
My still bleeding wounds
You did seal them
With your light caresses
Now they're closing
Oh the process
Is so breathtaking
You knocked on my heart
For oft, I hesitated
If I'll let you in
You'll get hurt
Or wounded
May trip against
My unpolished sides
May collide
With the unspeakable
Darkness I hide
You smiled
And took my hand
Severed the barricades
I've put to separate
Myself from you
You said you don't need it
Trusting your words
I unlocked my heart
So you could enter
And...
To my surprise
You started taming
My storm
Like you knew it by name
I was never a halcyon sea
But you calmed my waves
With songs
I've never heard before
Love, you enthralled me
By the way you closed
My wounds
Called every piece of me
Claimed them as yours
So they slowly gravitated
Like pieces of a puzzle
Finally falling into place
Now I'm whole
And will no longer hurt
For today...
Someone like you came
To meet me
At my worst
Made me better
As you continuously shower
Me with love
Made me believe
My pieces can't pierce
Anyone who gets near
For I am not broken
I am whole
And suddenly.....
I feel whole
For I am loved
And I am home
-a story to feed a starving heart, katie
@treisyyy
I give you my heart
Lay it down in your palm
Feel it drum
With the rain
Howl in belligerence
With the wind
Utterly
A catastrophy
Screaming poetry
Take it
It's yours to keep
Warm it with lullabies
Until it falls asleep
Keep it safe
While I wander away
Into the forest of dreams
To seek what I must
If you don't hear from me
At the end of the day
Fret not
I won't be wandering too far
Heartless,
I won't survive the wild
So breathe
Cradle my heart
Close
I will be home
My love
Sooner
Than you think
-heartless wanderer,

"Look at the stars!" he said.
"You mean, your eyes?" she replied.

Miles away
He sleeps soundly
Probably dreaming
Of me
And the things
I said
When we talked
Earlier tonight
All the
Stories
That flowed
Like water
From his mouth
Oh they just couldn't
Wait
They just couldn't
Wait...
I smile
While I
Stay awake
Smoking
My last stick
Of cigarette
I dream
Of capturing
Him
In a poem
Before I go to sleep
His black eyes
And how intense
They stared
At me
The last time
We were together
His smile
His rawness
His love
All of him
But I know
I can write
A thousand poem
About him
Yet these
Will never do
Him justice
For my love
Is just so beautiful
So beautiful
That I can only
Close my eyes
Mumble a prayer
Of gratitude
To the universe
For giving him
To me
To love
And to hold
To kiss
And to cherish
Till my bones
Grow old
And all the songs
He sang to me
Wither away
With our memories
-a love to hold,

Let's stay
In love
Forever
It's a hell
Of a hard work
But we're
A team
And we can
Begin
Building
The foundation
Now
(about last night)

The day she learned to consider fear as the reason why she has to take that first step, she started winning.
-the first step will always be the scariest,

How is it possible darling, for someone with a heart to be so heartless?
Katie, 20:00
Ethereal song
Your lips move
In a gentle cadence
Urging mine
To join the dance
There is no music
Just our hearts
Echoing to the beat
Of the universe
As it vibrates
In an endless cacophony
Reminding how our souls
Are connected
Since the beginning of time
You trace the shadows
Cast in my face
Like you’re trying to rearrange
My chaos with your gaze
I am lost at the moment
As you love me beneath
My flesh and bones
Your kisses fill me
With ethereal songs
I move with you in frenzy
Still too dazed to speak
Then suddenly you wake me
From my dreamless sleep!
- katie
But darling, this moment
Will fade with the past
Just like how this wall
Loses its color
With every storm
It endures

I've read a lot
Of revolutions-
Bloody and
Bloodless
Revolutions
That made
History
And some
Forgotten
Heroes
But tonight
I will try
To write
What I deem
As most
Powerful
Of all
Revolutions:
I CHOOSE ME
Over the love
You keep
Insisting as true
Darling I know
It's a lie
I can see
The truth
Burning
In your eyes
Now watch me fly!
-revolutions,
