"Hey, you need to know: you are loved. And if you know, you need to REMEMBER."<br /> <br /> I wrote this in an artsy form not that long ago. (as of Aug 27th 2025)


Don't you hate it when you feelings 

Are like a battle inside of you, waging war?

Like torture, a knife to the heart,

Just trying to make your life hard?

It's like they want you to suffer, and struggle as they scuffle within, 

But I promise that if you would be my lover,

My conflicting emotions would stop this endless spin.

I want you to want me,

So you can be my everything,

And I can be your therapy, 

At the end of each hard day.

I'll try to take that pain away,

And put it someone safe, to keep,

In a place where  no one ever has to see,

But you and me.

And then comes she.

And yes, we are close, and everyone can see,

But she makes everything more hard,

When she's part of the cause of the conflict in my heart.

Still you love her, 

And you don't love me,

But if I were to tell everyone what I feel, 

You'd see that it's not the way I wish it would be.

And yes, she's great, it's plain to see,

But then comes you, and feelings change drastically.

What you do makes everything more complicated.

And sometimes I wish her love was just a bit more faded.

And you're so kind, good, cute, and sweet, 

But sometimes I wish it was more directed at me.

And you love her.

And she loves you.

So at the moment, 

There's nothing I can really do, 

Except step back and wait,

For some drama or fight,

And hope it doesn't come too late

For our wonderful relationship to take flight.

And when you current bonds start to crack,

I hope I'll be the one who always has your back.

And still I can only hope,

That she won't hate me for taking her wonderful boy.

Because I love you, And so does she,

But I think you might be better off,

If you were with me.

So, I wrote this to vent about some chaotic emotions I have. Sorry if it's cliche though. It's... A lot. I hope it reflects the feelings of someone else out there.
