You remind me of the moon. Filled with holes yet still managing to give light.

Gently, he said, You don’t have to love me now; but you can start, little by little and pay me back in installments.

Unrequited Love by Danyelle j. Alexander ©

And when you tire of hurting from the pain I wreaked; I hope she loves you well.

There were different tastes with love.  The first taste was in your mouth and it hit me hard with longing as you nibbled away at every insecurity; pulling me in heavy and crushing till it intoxicated my soul. The second taste was in your chest hitting me like the first punch you taste when you down alcohol for the first time leaving that burning feeling to find itself in my chest as it surges through parts of my body like lightning. The third taste was the one that tore me to shreds and took me home. I fell into pieces I couldn't even find. Breathless and undiscovered till you landed between my thighs. All your hard and soft edges melted into mine.

You scratched my heart once and now all I bear are these bruises.

The way they throw around their words and it hits you like an acidic shower upon your skin.

In a messy and chaotic world full of dull black and greys, his love became the origin of my joy.

I hope you know that the heart you wear is special. One day you’ll meet someone who recognizes that the heart you wear so casually inside your chest is far too beautiful to let anyone do anything else but stay.

I have never killed a man but even that wasn’t true. I have killed many. I killed the first man who ever loved me. I strangled him on demand. I suffocated others with false hope pulling them apart limb by limb. For every hand that touched me, I threw back severed limbs. Lips that spoke life became dried and cracked lips. I tore men to shreds. But the very first person I have ever killed, was myself.

Oceans have never drowned love the way some people do.

There are some things we only learn when we love. I learnt that hands became liars when words would fail. I learnt that some lips when used in love, don’t always bear truth. Sometimes they bear you a fruit that rottens right before your eyes. But the hardest lesson I had to learn was that the eyes never quite lied like people do.

I loved with absolute clarity and demand. raw hungry rough; and for me that will always be enough because I loved.

Take your time. Do not run to him. Love will take time. After the hurting, falling, cracking, and breaking; you must give yourself time. The sun does not rush to rise. He rises gently, slowly and ever so softly to the eager morning that awaits him.

I followed you to the sun, stealing the burning wings of a rising phoenix. With the stolen ashes from the earth, I wanted to fly; and like a reincarnated Icarus, I got burnt and fell.

You taste destruction once and somehow it manages to obliterate your soul

You smell of sugar, ambition and rain. You are the only face seen in a crowded and busy street. You are the gentlest, most delicate thing I have ever met and no one deserves love more than you.
