To Forgive is to Forget

Learing to forgive is learning to forget.

Forgettting is losing.

Losing makes you cope.

Coping makes people help you.

People that you can connect with.

People that make a difference in your life.

People that create a space in your heart.

People that you never want to lose.

People that make you forget that you were coping.

That you were losing.

That you were forgetting.

That you never had to forgive in the first place.

 

 

 

 

 

Our Love

They say Paris is the city of love.
But when you're with me, no matter what city, it becomes the city of love.

They say the rose is the flower of love,
But even if you gave me a dandelion, I'd be the happiest girl alive.

They say diamonds are the ring of love,
But even a ring pop would do for me.

Whatever you give me, I wouldn't care.
As long as its something you desire to share.

 

How I Feel

When I look you, I feel like I'm a different person.
My stomach feels full of butterflies.
My feet make me the clumsiest person alive.
My hands drop everything I am holding.
My pupils dilate.
My breathing gets spaced.
When I look at you, I feel nobody else could look
at you any other way.

Compassion

I get this burning passion.

I know when I want something.

This reaches out my inner compassion.

I am determined to get that something.

I'll Be There For You.

No matter what your plans in life,

I'll be there for you.

 

No matter how far you want to get,

I'll be there for you.

 

No matter how many times you get knocked down,

I'll be there for you.

 

I want you to understand that,

I'll be there for you.

When I Am....

When I am with you, my heart skips a beat.
When I am without you, my mind never stops racing.
When I am with you, I lose track or time.
When I am without you, I can' t stop pacing.

My Love...

My love for him is a rose asking for water.

My love for him is a child in need of help.

My love for him is a cow avoiding slaughter.

My love for him is a limitless.

 

 

 

 

 

One Way or Another

Losing
love is like
losing
laughter.

Hurting
her is like
hurting
health.

Letting
her see you
with
someone else
is like
puncturing
 her
soul slowly.

 When he
looks at me,
there is a
persistent
 pounding
in my heart
like a
million
anxiety attacks.
When I see
you with her,
 a little part
 of me
dies inside.
I know
you were
never mine
to have
 in the

first place,

but it
sure
feels like it.
Never
will
I
find
someone
like
you.

 

Life Lessons

She saw him at the movies, with whom, we must guess.

But he didn't have the heart, or the decency to confess.

She fell hard, didn't ask for help, and could not be lifted.

After that, never would she love, and off she drifted.

 

 



The Long Wait

Anticipation

Waiting for it all day long

Wait, Contemplation

 

The Part That Loves

Da dum, da dum, heart

A delicate instrument

So fragile, so frail

 

 

Why?

I want to know...why?

Just tell me and I'll understand...why?

Why?

What did I ever do to you...why?

What did I do to lose what I never had...why?

Why?

 

 

The Rain

A horrible day

The world reflects my feelings

Pitter, patter, rain

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unrequited Love

Unrequited Love, it's so meaningful,
Turning to the people you need most when
Everyone else has turned on you, they'll pull,
Pull, pull, pull on you to keep you alive.

That moment when you look into their eyes,
You know that they are the one meant for you,
But the thing they desire is the lies,
When all you want to tell them is the truth.

But how is that even possible,
Possible to not tell them the truth, bluff.
Living with yourself everyday, knowing,
Knowing that you'll never be good enough.

Move on, there will be more, is what they say,
Never will I find someone in my way.

So Close I Can Taste It

 

Hands hovering close

Trees touching like fingertips

We're ever so close

 

 

 

 

 

Devotion and Apathy

Devotion

 Passionate, Pure

Faithfulness, Loyalty, Giving

Affection, Fondness, Contempt, Oblivion

Disrespect, Escape, Denote

Insensitive, Cold 
Apathy

 

The Pain of Love

Love

Affection, Enchantment

Committing, Embracing, Treasuring

Happiness, Forever, Grieve, Unbearable

Crumpling, Suffering, Aching

Discomfort, Torture

Pain

 



The Truth About My Blog

Hello Mrs. Walker and  Fellow Students. I am here to tell you all about my blog. The reason that I chose the name "In a Heartbeat" as the title for my blog is because the theme I chose for my poems is love <3. I am definitely a sucker for love. If you have been on my blog, you can see that the background is hearts. Again, this relates to the fact that my blog is about love. Thanks for reading my post, I really appreciate it :) See you all at school!

Bob Marley

You say you love rain, but you use an umbrella to walk under it.
You say you love sun, but you seek shade when it is shining.
You say you love wind, but when it comes you close your window.
So that's why I'm scared when you say you love me.
