This poem is amazing, each line having so much meaning behind it!
"Calm, but oh so nervous."
I really enjoy how relate-able this feeling is. You captured a common anxious feeling, and you described it perfectly.
"Trying so hard not to be both."
I also enjoy the meaning behind this, it could mean to be only one or to be neither, and the interpretation of this has an effect on how you read the poem.
"So easily you provoke and I really hope that you don’t see me as a joke."
This line makes me believe that it could be about a series of things, falling in love, getting cheated on, but overall something to do with a romantic relationship
"Not so new at this; ‘though, it feels like the very first time."
Once again, you captured a common feeling perfectly, that seems to be one of your strong suits. You have a deep understanding of emotions.
"I usually express myself through the pencil, paper, and wrist."
This line is very deep, many can relate to it, although it saddens me if you can.
"I keep it all to myself, but I suppose you should really know all of this."
I like the second half of that line, it leads me to think this poem is about relationship problems and not opening up can cause them.
"I love to love and be loved!"
Loving to be loved will often get you hurt, but that line alone may be one of the most honest things I have ever read, often times a lot of people love for the being in a relationship aspect of it.
"This is my only purpose- why and what I was born for."
The poem seems to be about a problem, but the previous line was about love, leading to a possibly of different interpretation again, a skill to have when it comes to poetry. I enjoy your lines that do that.
"I will slay and kill you with kindness."
I really enjoy this line, it's appealing and truthful.
"I do my best to leave you love messages in the sky above."
Again, open to many forms of interpretation. My way of taking it is showing love even in the most overlooked and unnoticed ways.
"When the world becomes a place where no one wants to be,
I would softly kiss you hard and hold you every second as if it would be the last."
I love the deep meaning behind these two lines, and they flow together quite nicely.
"I will write you poetry everyday ‘till my lungs collapse!"
Just aww. My only feedback on this is aww.
"Gazing into your eyes… trying to read your thoughts perhaps?"
I see this to be presented as an excuse, but it could have a million different meanings. 100 people could read this poem and they could all have different thoughts on the meaning. That takes a lot of talent, to write something like this!
"I know that your love cannot be bargain with or bought,
so please accept this for you to quote when I am gone."
These two lines make me think a lot, I am not sure of what they make me think of or feel. I really enjoy when an author makes me feel that way.
"I wish that you will never forget me."
My first and only complaint, the wording in this feels a little shaky.
"Please always keep me close at heart!
For whenever it is broken,
I will always be here!"
As much as I just want to say aww again, that was clever wording, a common saying turned into something even more meaningful. You're a genius with words throughout this poem.
"You just have to open up and read
my dear..."
A beautiful ending to a beautiful poem.
Overall I enjoyed this poem greatly! I only have one small complain, and that was the slightly shaky wording in one line. I could be reading it wrong though, I am very aware that the problem could easily be lying within me. Otherwise, the poem was amazing, your work never fails to blow me away. I am very glad that I discovered your work and I can't wait to read more!

We all have those moments where we wished we can relive and say the things we never did, so this poem is relaying it.
Loving to love and be loved is as deep as it gets and does bring pain, but I have learned the misery accompanied is always worth it and I would never take any of it back.
And I love that you feel that that line feels shaky because that's what life is all about. It's never smooth sailing, but the following line brings back some security and certainty.
There is no problem with you. It should me what ever it means to you and like you said... a hundred people can read it and all get a different meaning out of it. Hell, I get a different meaning out of it every time I read it and that's what makes writing so beautiful and timeless to me.
I am very well pleased with what you thought about it and I cannot thank you enough. I really do appreciate you spending the time to actually read it Haylee.
This is such a beautiful, passionate poem. I am in a relationship and reading that made me think of how he and I always speak with each other. You're a very talented writer, and I can't wait to read more of your pieces.

Thank you so much Koari and I'm glad to hear that! I wish you two the best.
I love the first line, the first line is always what gets me going in a poem and yours was perfect. The ending amazing and the title fit the poem just right.
"Gazing in your eyes... trying to read your thought perhaps?"
I loved that. The eyes show emotion that our faces won't. If you truly love you will be able to see that, it could seem like reading someone's mind.
I'm glad I decided to read this one:) very amazing job well done.

The title of this piece has to be one of the most comforting bunch of words one could hear. What's more, the last few lines justify the title ever so splendidly. The many lines of the poem, capturing a live, ongoing train of thoughts, are totally variegated. There's an interesting transition to notice and admire, how it goes from speaking of nervousness to expressing more confident thoughts. "I do my best to leave you love messages in the sky above"- this line somehow stood out, oh it's amazing. Some great work.

Thank you so much Rana, I highly appreciate it! =D
This is sweet and tender, but more than that i felt strength. Really strong and powerful. I have always loved your turn of phase and the rhythm of your writing is less flowery and warming but almost more of a beat. Its very urban and cool with a sophisticated. Really liked this piece.

It's not like I can't write in traditional poetry. It's quite simple actually, but that bores me and has been done for years. I love putting my twist and birth mark on it and I hope that it stands out from the rest, so that's why it makes me smile really hard when you say so... =D
Thank you!
I guess there'll always be the fear to lose the good thing you got, like a love and a soulpartner. Sometimes situations are too good to be true or we think we don't deserve it. I can relate to that. Very well done, Sin in Sincerity, thanks for sharing this poem. :) Rudi
