"we accept the love we think we deserve"


I would never die for you

 

Because you see

 

I've been wishing
For death to kiss my lips
Ever since
I was ten years old

 

when I was fourteen
Death brushed against my cheek
and I had never known something
could be so sweet

 

but then I met you
and suddenly..

death wishes
went out the window

 

now the small kid with big eyes

had never looked so bright

 

...then you ran away
and with you went my light

 

but I never pleaded with you to stay
Because who would blame you anyway

 

I was a burning star
And she was the whole galaxy

 

But somewhere along the way
You remembered how beautifully the stars shined

 

So you came back
and bottled the cosmos
Just to put them into my eyes
Once more

 

so now you knew
I would always be there

to light up the night sky

 

For you

 

But oh god
if you only knew...

this star
is still burning

solely 

 

Because of you.

This poem is for my boyfriend. He and I have been through so much shit and he's left me and left me and came back and came back but he finally got it together and things are okay for us. And he started as just my friend and he fought off my depression and I'm better now and it really is because he was there to help me.
