People say that
Real men don’t cry
       Then why am crying?
   I never knew
    The true meaning
      Of a poem
     Until
      You
      Appeared

sometimes I don’t even understand.
I need a break from my thoughts.

To an unread poet.

I used to read your poems
but lately you don't write
you're silent and aloof
you know that isn't right.
You can't close a door once opened
you can't abolish all your dreams
you're a poet of the heart
mustn't fall apart at the seams.
Say what you can in words
they speak the message true
spoken from the heart
the poems will see you through.
A hermit's not your style
a recluse, you are not
never give up writing
of things that you've been taught.
I used to read your poems
I'd read them once again
if you would send them out
(this one's from a poet friend)

i wish i could help you

but i know that the demons were with you far before me

Having a partner with depression can be difficult. But you have to remember if them being sad makes you sad it isn't you. Depression hurts and changes people and it's a battle people must face on their own. The best thing you can do is remind your person you love them for being them.

Rose-shaped heart

For you my heart blooms
A mere glance makes it quiver
Petals everywhere
