To the one who loves her next

To the one who loves her next,
I hope you treat her kindly,
She’s softer than a psalm,
Loves very deeply and blindly,
So please don’t take advantage of her vulnerability,
I’d like to think I taped her back together,
But it’s impossible to untear a paper.

To the one who loves her next,
She prefers to stay at home,
She stays indoors all day listening to her love songs,
Not that she has a problem, it’s all in jest and fun,
Only become concerned when she switches to sad songs.

To the one who loves her next,
She has mastered the art of silence,
If there’s noise she becomes uncomfortable.
She’s articulately thoughtful,
Listen to her when she speaks even if she makes no sense.

To the one who loves her next,
On some days she might suddenly turn cold,
She’ll disappear for a while but I still can’t say where she goes,
But she will definitely return,
With no explanation as why,
But somethings are better left unknown,
She’s difficult to figure out,
Don’t try to, cause you’ll not be successful.

To the one who loves her next,
While asleep she will kiss your hands, your neck and then your lips.
To the one who loves her next,
She misses her dad,
It hurts too bad to talk about,
So she’ll just change the subject,
She bears no weight of faith,
But if you listen at night sometimes,
I think she prays.

To the one who loves her next,
You will become her home,
Sometimes you will be a palace,
And some other times a haunted shack with ghostly moans,
And if you get separated whatever be the cause,
You’ll be reminded by your grief of guilt of all of which you lost,
And you’ll masquerade as someone who is not a wreck,
As you shake to give advice to the one who loves her next,
So to the one who loves her next,
This is all I ask:
Know that you love her now,
But i loved her first,
And i will love her last.

To my next girlfriend…

To my next girlfriend
Hi, I’m Author of pain
I think you’re one of the most beautiful girls I’ve ever talked to
I reiterate things when I mean them
I think you’re one of the most beautiful girls that I’ve ever talked to

I’m a writer, and a hopeless romantic
I spend most of my day in my head over analysing almost everything
I know I’m weird I’m learning to love that about myself
I got a big ass head, and I also got a big ass heart

I deal with depression
Pretty heavy sometimes that I have really bad anxiety
I rarely talk and barely have friends
But at the same time I’m a people person
I’m trying to understand how I’m such a contradiction
But maybe you’ll learn to love this in
The same way I’m learning to love myself

And on the topic of love
If we’re going to be together
I want you to understand that this relationship
Isn’t going to start in emotions
I’d like it to start as a decision
I need you to decide to love me

In the same way that someone decides to go to work everyday
I need you to understand that change is going to happen
We are going to change as people
This relationship may not end in marriage, it may not end at all
But if it ends, it’ll end in change

We’re not going to leave this the same people that we came in
I need you to be open to this change
In the same way that I need to be open to this change
I need you to be understanding because some days
I don’t know myself, so I know I’ll be hard to recognize.

OUR INFECTIOUS SMILE

Smiling is infectious,
You catch it like the flu,
When someone smiled at us today,
We started smiling too.
We passed around the corner and someone saw our grin,
When he smiled,
We realized we’d passed it on to him.
We thought about that smile
Then we realized it’s worth.

A single smile just like ours,
Could travel round the earth,
So if you feel a smile begin,
Don’t leave it undetected,
Let’s start an epidemic quick,
And get the world infected.

Remember folks,
The best form of love and kindness,
You can give to one another,
Is just a simple smile.
Cause it takes just a single smile,
To make a dark day,
Seem bright.

Keep smiling!!!

Dark Desire

But love, that word,
In a city where love goes by the name of every street,
Every house, every apartment,
Of every room, of every bed.
Of all the dreams,
Of everything forgotten,
Of every memory.
My love,
I don’t love you because of me, or you, or both of us.
I don’t love you because the blood calls me to love you.
I love you because you’re not mine.
Because you’re on the other side.

OUR FAVOURITE SONG

OUR FAVOURITE SONG

I wish i could see you one more time,
Just hearing your name makes me realize,
How much meaning you added to my life.
Each time i try to forget about you and move on,
Our favourite song comes up on the radio,
And listening to it alone,
Makes me realize just how much I miss you.
I dream of hearing your voice everyday,
But reality dawns a rainy day,
And now I’m,
Sadness, tears and blues.
I know you didn’t mean to hurt me,
But death gave you no choice,
Snatching you away from me.
Your soul appears to me everyday,
Telling me everything is fine and i should move on,
But i wish i was dead,
So we could listen to our favorite song together,
In a better place.

– Author Of Pain.

You

You, it is
In every imperfection you exhibit
I find perfections I’ll never prohibit
Your heart I know every path to finding
Because it was never yours alone to beckon with
Let me in on your flaws
And allow me to drink you in like an absolute tasty
Liquid simmered in sugar-coated strawberry juice
You it is again
Making me smile like I’ve never smiled before
Lighting up my day just by listening to your sunken
Voice of certainty
You it is
Of course, you alone
Looking at the same blue sky I’m looking at
And imagining me sitting right beside you with eyes
Filled with hopeful merriment
Hoping all these will never fade away…….

Don’t Fall In Love With A Poet By fab_du_solvic

DON’T FALL IN LOVE WITH A POET 1

Do you want to love?
Oh no, don’t fall in love with a poet.
He’s a man with no heart
For like carrot he diced it
In a kitchen of books
As he turn it into words
Calling it art.

A man with thousand words of love
But like a sling shot against bird
A word of his can ruin castles
Making it desolate
How much more your fragile heart?
In shambles he will drench it.

Don’t fall in love with a poet
For the truth he will say
Even if it hurts
He cares not
What a cruel being!

Don’t fall in love with a poet
For their soul is more gloomy than darkness
Plant the sun in them
And a gleam of light you will see not
The heat will go cold
For their heart is not enthused to love.

Consent not to their handsome face,
Mind not their pretty lips,
Hidden beneath that is an ugly smile,
A cackle of devil.
If your heart worth’s more than gold,
Give it not to a poet.

For like the ink in his pen,
He will rid it of blood,
Until you go pale –
Whitish as snow.
Now and again,
Don’t fall in love with a poet!

AISHA

Anger is a liar. He doesn’t have any respect.
I fell in love with my pains and I slept with my regrets.
Happiness saw this happen, maybe that’s why she left me.
Joy called me a cheater, said I cheated on her with pain.
She said she’s not coming back.

But after a while Happiness and joy came back to me
They came back in the form of someone else,
And this time they came with a new feeling
This time they came back with love
In the form of Aisha

I Can Only Speak

My heart is weak, my soul is deep with words I can speak,

But would you listen, understand or even believe?

So I prefer to show you in actions,

Take you on a journey of my thoughts

So when suits are spoken

Then the walls are broken

And you believe in my love.

Because my heart is weak but my soul is deep,

With words I can only speak.
