I Never Knew Love Could Be Like This
March fourth, the day I have dreaded since it broke my soul two years ago. Yes, two years ago. I lost my virtue to a man-child who ignored the first time I told him I loved him to keep thrusting into his own pleasures. March fourth, when I became a disappointment of a life to him. I hate the fourth of March. I hate the nineteenth and twenty-ninth of January. I hate september third. I hate that day of Midnight June when I asked if if he would marry me. I told him no bullshit, just an answer. I didn't need excuses. He said no. He didn't love. He liked my body, adn even that wasn't enough.
Two years. March Fourth Two thousand eighteen. Two years. This, he's captured my heart. Not a fuckboy looking for some nudes or someone telling me I am to blame for those two-years-ago. He's young, the very definition of awkward, and he has no sure path he wants to follow. But he knows he wants me to be there. He wants me, me, to be there to motivate him and give him hope. Today, march 4, I asked with the hesitance only heartbreak can bring if he saw us married in the future. If he saw us together. He said we don't know what the future holds, but he hopes we do. He says he would be happy if we could.
I don't know if these tears
are from those two yearts
ago when I wept
myself to when we first met.
September third.
I don't know if I cry
because he doesn't lie
becasue he's gentle and kind
and we find a similar state of mind-
each other.
I thought I had experienced love before. I thought I knew gentleness when he watched me cry with an ache in his eyes two years ago.
Now, I wonder how I could've been so blind. We're enjoying the now we have, with gentle confessions and flustering conversations. I never knew love could be this colorful.
I never love love could be like this

Will you die little beast
Buzzing and buzzing
To wrought the chill
Your blades make on my skin
And the heat you permit to fester
Your garbled words keep their shrill
And my head aches still
I have tugged once-
Twice, thrice-
Yet you do not stutter
The clicks that clack
Take me back
To the times in my own kitchen
Back in my childhood home
The one room in which I was protected
From the rumbles of snores,
The lonely moans of the dark,
And the creek of doors hidden behind
You do not give me peace
Because you do not listen as the first did
All those years ago
Your light is faded-
Tainted-
So I cannot find protection in your trills
Just keep on humming
And trilling and stumbling
You can't bring my innocence back
You will tell me lies I've heard before
Of the many who have left
But your jealousy only rots your warmth
Your air- the chills
It fabricates on my neck
They lie of your hard earned respect-
Keep it all
This home is not mine
And you don't own my soul-
But you have my cage
And I can not leave.
I have nowhere to go
No home with protection or childlike innocence-
You have won.
But your falling tears are still mine to pull
When he calls
I know my heart will mutter
My lips will still
and my knees will stutter
His tears will wash my skin
with man's sin
I recall what we had been
And will never be
Because of me
The whispers, the sighs
The forbidden tangles of our thighs
Interlocked lips and open eyes
I remember the nightmare in disguise
Of a dream
It would only seem
For my skin is not clean
But burned
By him
What do I say?
What will I pray?
Forever distant,
but still so Close
My heart is persistent
With his little woes
Can I just say goodbye
And finally die
With a new life from this place
So that I can make haste
To the path I need
With my heart as a new seed?
When he calls
I will not stutter
But my heart will flutter.
I'll say what I must to the eyes
Who promised me the skies.
