Affection

The way to show affection is never a question,
It's always about those memories shared your special one confessed.
Sweet moments making you two bonds even tighter and through like gestures people invest.
Taking risks of showing love requires great attention,
But no worries it will be worth the intention.
As time passes by it only gets stronger,
Elevating more till it stays longer.

You

I can't help but crave your touch,
Your scent, your smile, your very essence,
I long to be near you, to feel your warmth,
To lose myself in your embrace...

My heart beats faster at the thought of you,
My mind races with endless possibilities,
I want to explore every inch of you.
To know you completely, intimately.

With each passing moment, my desire grows
I yearn for your love, your passion, your soul.
I am consumed by this burning need,
To have you, to hold you, to never let you go.

A Message For You

It's time you realized you can actually make it if only you set your mind to do so.
First of all, put God first; that's the first and most important thing to do. 
Tell Him you can't do it without Him; surrender all to Him.
Tell Him to have His way in you.
Also, tell yourself you can make it; believe in yourself because you're more than capable to succeed.
Build your confidence and don't doubt your abilities.
Remember who you are and where you come from....
Where you're going and where you want to be, and work towards it.
Don't stop when you're tired; stop when you're finished... 
When you've accomplished your goals.
When you're happy with your final self...

I Listen

To the voice in my head,
That never shuts up, 
Telling me I'm not good enough;
That I'd never amount to anything.
I listen, 
When it keeps me up at night,
Keeping me awake,
Because I know, 
The moment I close my eyes...
My darkest fears come to life.
I listen,
When it compares me to everyone I know, 
Highlighting my insecurities,
Beating me down...
Until I'm just an empty shell.
I listen,
Because there's no distraction,
Nothing to help me escape...
The ceaseless chatter in my head.

My First Love

I'm running from the darkness that follows me everywhere I turn,
I stumble, and then the darkness engulfs me.
I'm shivering in the dark and replaying scenes of my dark and bitter past,
The past I don't want to remember.
I'm looking for a way out but that's hard to find.
I've tried looking for a light, but the one I've found doesn't seem to shine.
I'm crumbling, breaking down because the walls of my mind aren't strong enough to keep me sane,
This darkness is seemingly seeping into my bones; it's filling my lungs with poisoned air...
I can't breathe.
And just when reality begins to fade away, 
I see You.
The Son of Man come to save the lost,
The Light of the world fearlessly stepping down into darkness,
The King of Kings, who comes to restore hope to the poor. 
You walk through the shadows surrounding me,
And even the darkness gives way to You.
You hold my hand and tell me, "Trust me, my timing's perfect".
And then I realize the truth,
I just needed to turn to Him, 
To ask for His help, for Him to guide me...
For Him to be mine,
And me, His.

My Worth

I lose myself trying to please everyone.
Nobody wants to see the real me,
The person I actually am.
I step out in confidence and come back, 
Tears threatening to spill from my eyes,
Cruel words pierce me, 
Tiny shards of glass embedded in my chest,
I change my mindset.
Different personalities,
Like outfits, each day a different one to wear,
And as the daylight fades away,
I find myself all alone,
Conflicted emotions and a twisted sense,
Of who I actually am.
"Place value on yourself", I always hear,
But which version of myself do I place value on?

Fit In

I don't seem to fit in anywhere...
It seems as though I'm lost.
I stick out in every crowd,
I'm so confused every time I move out of my comfort zone.
I'm not used to the happenings outside of my small world.
I'm always on my own; by myself, and alone
I speak to myself, wishing I'd meet a new friend.
Unfortunately, after each attempt, I keep messing up.
Communication seems difficult for me; I simply can't relate to others.
Everything I do seems wrong by societal standards, so tell me...
Where do I belong?

Open Eyes

It was never me, was it?
The hugs and the whispered secrets we shared..
The moonlit walks and the intellectual talks,
The way your hand felt in mine,
Everything that felt right with you.
I guess you never felt the same.
Maybe you did, but looking at me, you saw someone else..
Someone who makes you happier than you've ever been.

Serenity

Here's a fragment of the broken shards of glass in my mind,
Glass so elegant, crystal and divine.
Why can't my thoughts be clear,
Like the cloudless sky on a perfect day?
Why can't I sleep,
Without feeling the weight of an invisible burden on my shoulders?
Why can't I close my eyes,
And not see flashes of my past behind my eyelids?
Will I ever be truly happy,
Without faking it?
I guess I'll never know...
I've got this messed up blizzard of thoughts in my head.

Lost Love

In a world where it was just you and me, everything was perfect.
The late night texts, the fun, the memories we shared.. 
It nearly seemed like we were meant to be.
I thought you fell hard for me, as I did for you.
I put all my feelings in a box,
I meant to surprise you.
Turns out I was wrong.
I stopped and stood silently watching,
As you took everything I had and handed it to another guy,
 I saw the lust and passion in your eyes.
You watched me stare, your eyes devoid of emotion.
I think you never even tried to care.
I can't get rid of the memories, I keep wondering where I went wrong,
I don't know what I did, maybe it was you all along.
Someday, I'll be okay.
