Poison Love: A Poem Series

Have you ever loved someone too much? I have. This is a poem series about love that should not have been loved. This series is about feelings that weigh heavy in the heart but are not reciprocated, or are wasted on abusive misfits. These poems are about loving fully, opening the self-up, and receiving disappointment for reward; but they represent resilience because the soul can learn to love again.

What is Life?

To be in your arms
To be a part of you
To be only yours
To even exist in a world inside of a universe
Where I can know you
That is a privilege.
And to love you
Oh God,
To get to love you
Now that is to live


I have no more words to utter

It’s all said
It’s all done
She was everything
He was the one
The moon
And the sun
Our brightest stars
Are now on the run
Naked soul
A silent compassion passes between us

I am here for you
When the world’s left you
I cannot laugh
I cannot judge
Only listen
Memorize the silence
She was everything
He was the one
The moon
And the sun
Our brightest stars
They are now on the run
Naked soul
A silent compassion passes between us

I am here for you

I can’t help but to look at her and think that you’ve downgraded. She was beautiful.


More than air

You make me pathetic
Craving you
Even if only a brief passing by
Wanting to breathe in you
Desiring you
You make me weak
Pathetic to your judgment
Pining for your approval
Awaiting your pat on the head


I just want you to love me
I want that more than air
I want it more than space
More than anything on earth


I’ll cry my tears in silence
I’ll try harder

All you must say is jump
And I will ask, “How high?”


Pathetic


You mean that much to me.
Do I mean that much to you?


I feel like loving you, so, that’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to love you.

It's 7 am and I know you hate me somewhere and I couldn't be happier.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
