“I will never again give someone half of me when they weren’t even worthy of a piece.”

That night I fought and I fought but your hold was stronger yet I knew even your hands could not hurt me more than your love has.

Your love is not just a feeling but a knowing.

And so she left, whereas then, she realized that just because she was planted here, does not mean here is where she has to grow.

Darling remember we are all the same with different coverings.

They wished you a home full of hurt but you deserve a home full of healing.

To the girl I used to be I appreciate you for a seed won’t bloom without its soil.

She pulled the thorn from her side and turned it into a rose.

Though I sleep with nightmares of the one who hurt me I wake up with the one who heals me.

In the morning she’s my sunshine and at night she’s my star.

I love to watch you become everything she said you couldn’t be.

You ground me as my roots grow I spread like wildflowers all over you.

I’m a prisoner with no charge a sack of bones in varnished flesh walking around hoping somebody will root me.

Our pollen you thought infected us fed our bees and kept us growing.

And even in my waking hours, I still dream of you.

You’re my crescent moon not perfect but beautiful.

The moment she kissed me was the moment I let him go.

I love you, with a touch of tragedy and quite madly.

The life of the dead is placed on the memories of the living. The love you gave in life keeps people alive beyond their time. Anyone who was given love will always live on in another’s heart.

I would have to have a bit of heroism and get out of myself. But I love myself so much!

For not an orphan in the wide world can be so deserted as the child who is an outcast from a living parent’s love.

What draws you to her, tell me what you like so I can practice.

Love, though said to be afflicted with blindness, is a vigilant watchman.

I have been bent and broken, but – I hope – into a better shape.

What I miss most is how you loved me. But what I didn’t know was, how you loved me, that had so much to do with the person I was.
