Her – Vol. 2

Do not become less of a woman

to a man who is looking for

a woman who thinks less of herself.

In her smile lives the light

and the darkness of the night sky.

She is no fallen angel,

but an angel who has fallen from grace

quite a few times.

They are gentle monsters.

They are leeches who will feast until you’re drained.

They are people with terrible promises and rotten motives.

Your voice shouldn’t tremble in the midst

of someone who says they love you.

may it be because joy has your knees weak.

I still do not claim

to be a great poet,

but a great observer of her.

Love’s words

I am nothing to be afraid of.

When you meet me, you will see.

Message from the guy who loves you

Allow me to hold your hands,

Allow my fingers to tightly hug yours,

Allow yourself to be naked while being fully

dressed around me,

Allow those guards to rest,

Allow yourself to be at ease, to entertain the idea

of being loved in a way your defensive ways won’t

let you.

Allow the doors of your heart to open up a little bit

and let some fresh air in,

Allow me to see the real you, the vulnerable you.

I am not asking for you to fall in love with me yet,

but please be yourself around me.

That is all I’m asking

Being normal is over praised.

You were never meant

to be accepted by all.

Therefore, be as weird

and as odd as you want to be.

She’ll fight a war for love,

but she will never fight for

your time nor attention.
