Young Love

you are the only person I think of when I wake up,

the only one on my mind before I close my eyes,

we caught them all by surprise,

they didn't want us to reach this far,

but everything changed when you blessed every scar,

broken youth beyond repair,

but for me, you were always there,

the broken youth, you never cared,

when we stood against the world, we never feared,

I still feel your pulse through my shirt sometimes,

your lips as smooth as  Elle’s rhymes.

Old Love

when I wake up you’re always on my mind,

why couldn't I be the first one to close my eyes?

caught us all by surprise,

doctors said we couldn't make this far

blessed, but nothing can fix her scars,

rocking bald look, look chemo had other plans,

broken now, she’s beyond repair,

every day i slap a smile, cause no matter what I’ll always be there,

standing against death, we neared feared,

sweaty hands gripping onto the bed now, of all times,

now I don't feel your pulse, but I knew your heart beat for me the last time.

what we have is fought for by many but achieved by few,

now the feelings on my heart heavy, salt coarse,
