How.

How do you describe this feeling?

A feeling that you are so special,

That no matter what, someone else thinks you're amazing.

And that person will do whatever they can for you.

It's a feeling that fills you with warmth,

A slow burning ember that buries itself in your chest.

At first you don't know how to react,

You're not sure how this happened.

How anyone could think you're so special,

And that someone would do anything for you.

But in the end, I suppose it really all boils down to one thing:

Do you believe you're worth it?

Magic.
We seek it in all that we do,
Even if we don't know that it's magic we're looking for.
Love.
We spend our whole lives looking for someone,
Someone to complete us,
And once we've found them,
They're ripped away.
Happiness.
It constantly and consistently eludes us,
Teasing us with what we want but can't have.
Sadness.
Completely inevitable,
But we do everything we can to evade it's grasp.
Pain.
A basic fact of life,
One we all wish we could avoid,
But when we try to avoid it,
Pain finds us anyways.
Fear.
Not a way to live a life,
Yet so many people live with this constant companion,
And a life lived in Fear is no life at all.

Thoughts.

Darting eyes,
Racing pulse.
Flushing cheeks,
Hidden feelings.

Fairy-tale thoughts,
Rainbows true.
Storms brewing,
Clouds gathered.

Words shouted,
Accusations standing.
Hurt descending,
Pain never-ending.

Regrets flowing,
Mistakes showing.
Wishes glowing,
Failure growing.

Vacant expressions,
Hurt buried.
Stiff faces,
Scars forming.

Realization hits,
Actions you can't take back.
Life won't be the same,
He's hurt you too deeply.

The darkness threatens me,
The abyss beckons with loving embrace.
So many days I pray for death,
Pray for the pain to end.

The sun doesn't shine in this place,
This place I claim as mine.
Here goodness is not found,
And darkness knows no bounds.
Here I wallow in my misery,
Here I sit in shame.

This is why I cry, this is my pain.
There's none but the blackness,
Nobody knows, nobody cares.
Here I'll lie till the end of time.
