Passion

We had passion

Because you had passion

I've never met someone so passionate

Or someone who made me so passionate
I don't know where all of the passion came from

Our frustration with each other was passionate

Our happiness was passionate

Every blink and every breath had passion

Every word and every look had passion
Our smiles were passionate
As were our passionate tears
We couldn't stop the passion if we wanted to
Our passion was so unbreakable
Our passion is still unbreakable
Though we try to ignore the passion
The passion still sways between us
I never experienced this much passion before
The passion has stuck with me

Our beginning was full of passion

And so was the passionate middle

But our end was the most passionate of all

Geometric Look For Fall

Sweater: Forever 21

Shirt: Thrifted

Jeans: Old Navy

Necklace: Rue 21

Shoes: Sperry's

I am loving the geometric trend this fall and I was so excited when I recently purchased this super cozy sweater from Forever 21! I wore a chambray shirt underneath to give it a southwestern feel and I wore a triangle necklace to repeat the geometric shapes on my sweater. I went with plain dark wash skinny jeans and my Sperry's to keep the rest of the outfit simple. I am trying to wear my boat shoes as much as I can before the snow comes!  

All The World's A Stage

People are actors

No one is truly real

They act and pretend and perform

They put on these plays at all times

To get ahead, to deceive

So impress me and dance for me

Keep the act going so I might be amused

So I might be fooled by your ridiculous insincerity

You do not dupe me with you artificiality 

I do not need to watch your attempt at entertainment

I scoff at your attempt at trickery

And I do not need the real you

Because the real you does not exist

You do not know how to be anything but an actor

So enjoy the world as your stage

And take a bow at the end of your act 

But be prepared when there is no applause

Is It Wrong That I Love Seeing You Unhappy?

Is it wrong that I love seeing you unhappy?
I can't help but smile every time you look so angry.
The fire in your eyes make me feel somehow satisfied.
I know I could make you feel better, but I do not try.
Go ahead and storm out of the room; in fact, please do.
The grin on my face may seem evil and in bad taste.
From the outside it may seem like it's coming from a bad place.
That's because it is, and I do think, "I love these feelings of his."
But what I love most, is you do this to yourself.
And yes, I mean to boast, but I do not blame myself.
You deserve these negative feelings you have.
Because, sorry!, you are not even half the man.
If you change your ways I may feel a little bad.
But until then, if you hit the cold, hard floor, I will be glad.
I watch as your sadness makes your knees buckle.
You should be honored that you can still make me chuckle.
The decision you made was so very wrong.
And I'm glad that you no longer feel so strong.
You're weak at your knees and you're weak without me.
But it's your fault that you even thought to doubt me.
I hear your pleas through your angry cries.
But, to me, your troubles are just another prize.
So is it wrong that I love seeing you unhappy?
Is it so terrible that it makes my day when you are crabby?
I don't think it's wrong that this is what I gain.
It's just that you deserve every ounce of your pain.

Sonnet

One day he wants me but then he does not
He says he loves me but will not be near
He does not spend time with me quite a lot
The world is his and won't lend me an ear

He puts these walls up so I can't get in
He's mad when I don't tell him what I think
He plays mind games and will not let me win
He lies to me and wants my heart to shrink

I know this boy is not good for my health
He can make me feel like I might be mad
He likes to try to sting me with his stealth
I yell at him a lot which makes me sad

I will not leave him but I know I should
For when he's kind to me I feel so good

Floating

I don't know what I am doing right now
I want to have feelings but my heart won't let me
I might be recovering still
in the ending stages of heartbreak
I know what I want
but I don't want it now
My mind has no emotions
not that it should
but my heart won't speak
Nothing matters
There's nothing for me right now
but I still want to do something
Until this waiting ends
I'm existing here and nothing else
I'm just kind of...floating
