Poems About Love, Straight From My Journal
Alix George

At 19, I have been in love, I've fallen out of love, and I've had my heart broken. Love is my muse for writing, so I wanted to share poems and writings I've done in the midst of all of the emotions over the years. Whenever life gets rough and it seems like love is impossible, just remember: "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.Love never fails."

You'll have your heart broken time and time again, as love comes and goes, but love always conquers all.

I suppose I just never realized

that home could be something

with brown eyes

teeth

and a heartbeat.


1/29/15

you gave me headaches when you should've been giving me butterflies

so now I'm drinking something I shouldn't to get you out of my mind

and moving away to get you out of my heart.


1/11/16 - 4:28 pm

it took me exactly 176 days to realize we make better strangers than we ever did anything else.


3/27/16 - 4:47 am

you were the man of my heart

why did everything have to fall apart?


5/8/16 - 4:06 am

I think I confused lust with love and that's why I thought we were falling in love when we were falling apart.


1/26/17 - 1:04 am

his smile could stop wars and make a sinner find God.


3/30/17 - 5:34 pm

what would you like me to do?

darling, you know I'm such a fool for you.


10/10/17 - 8:36 pm

I knew it wasn't meant to be

when you asked me what was wrong

through tears I told you I was "just tired"

and you said, "so go to bed".


1/23/18 - 12:42 am

I crave a love that I'm not sure exists for me.

I crave a love that moves mountains, makes the rain turn to shine & leaves me speechless.

I crave a love that could start and end wars, a love that could make a sinner believe in God.

the love I crave isn't a perfect cinematic masterpiece, rather something that's real, wholesome, honest.

I know I'm young and I know it's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all, but I feel so hopeless sometimes.

I've been in love and I've experienced heartbreak, the earthshattering lust and the tsunami waves of pain, crashing over me again & again.

I drowned and I learned to swim, I just desperately want my life jacket right now.

My Love, please find me soon.


2/13/18 - 12:58 am

you told me that you'd rather have loved and lost than have never loved at all,

but how can you love and lose when you never let yourself love in the first place?

- things I'll write but never say to you


3/22/18 - 1:00 am

he is bliss personified.


3/23/18 - 3:09 am

falling in love with him is the type of love that people try to write about but can't find the right words.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
