    Will you love me enough? Love me so much that your heart can barely hold it—that it would break every other heart you’ve ever held?

    Be a Poet

    What is it like being a poet? You open yourself up like a big, ruinous chasm and everyone sees inside you, but no one understands who you are.

    This World

    I love this world so very dearly

    Even more so now it feels

    I am losing my grip on everything

    The sun came up for me even

    though I never asked it to

    And most days I wouldn’t give

    a second thought to everything

    that was going right in my life.

    The pure joy of waking up

    with somewhere to go

    something to do

    and someone to love

    I used to worry in the pointless way

    one does—one who never had

    to question her place in the world

    Not knowing the fragility

    of this place

    Your Poetry

    If I only knew you through your poetry—would ever only know you through your words—I think I would have loved you just the same

    the Things

    You are made of the all things you have loved. You are made of the all the things you have lost. And both contribute in equal measure to your beauty and your brilliance

    Show of Love

    I want to buy us a house

    with red roses in the yard

    and a skylight above our bed

    Raindrops dancing on the glass

    A house made of bricks

    an address that I can write to

    anytime I wish

    A fireplace roaring

    against the long, cold night

    and a blanket big enough

    to wrap around us both

    I think shelter is the ultimate

    show of love

    and I want to protect you

    from everything that hurts

    Written

    When you have written all you had to write

    there is nothing left to write about but yourself
  • Theodore Maurice August "Vanderboom" Scarlethas quotedlast year
    Reminder

    People want to know you

    All you have to be is present

    People want to love you

    All you need to be is yourself
  • Theodore Maurice August "Vanderboom" Scarlethas quotedlast year
    To Yourself

    Pick yourself up. Get it together. Not because others have it worse than you. Not because you owe it to anyone to put on a smile. But because you have your mother’s blood flowing through your veins. And even if you think otherwise, you matter to so many people. But first of all, you need to matter to yourself.
  • Theodore Maurice August "Vanderboom" Scarlethas quotedlast year
    We Were Loved

    We were loved in ways

    We couldn’t know

    Loved with gladness

    Loved with sorrow

    We were taught to meet

    the demands of others

    In the name of love

    they hurt our mothers

    They kept us close

    and held our hands

    Gave us more love

    than we could stand

    And still we plead

    and still we doubt

    whether loved within reason

    or loved without
