the only cover I want you to hold
is the one that our hands will bind
the only spine I want you to run
your hands across is mine
the only pages i want you to read
are the words of my mind
the only story i want us to write
is one that's one of a kind
the only book i want us to be
is one that only us can find
to my Reader
only yours, Writer

ps. i got a new nickname for wjh: Reader

All I wanted was to be the lad who
moves the mountains in your life
into the valleys in your Heart.
the lad who wraps the bandage
of joy about your sores of sorrow

I wanted to be an orb of hope that
lights your way through dark times
the road that guides you home
to love you in all ways that
I could, to find you a forever
in every now, to fight your
wars so that you never bruise...
To be your co-driver on this
unpredictable journey of life

To pick up the pieces all
who came before me left
scattered all over the floor
I wanted to be the courteous
palms that hold your hand
and wipe your tears, and though
not so strong, the shoulder
on which to lean

I just wanted
to be yours.

Do You Remember?

Do you remember
The way her long hair fell,
And shone in the light?

Do you remember
Coming home and seeing her work,
The room filled with colored squares,
As she painted from old pots and jars?

Do you remember
The way she looked at you,
As if you were her entire world?

I remember.
I remember it all.
I remember the screaming,
the fights,
And the feeling that they may last forever.

I remember the pleading,
Begging her to stay,
As she fled your apartment,
Her items like a stampede,
making their way out the door.

I remember the first night alone,
The smashed picture frames,
Her face now a stranger,
Lying in the shards.

From far beyond
I fought against the waves
Pushing for years
Against this ugly tide,
Only to be left a corpse
Bobbing uncontrollably
Without will or whim,
My lungs filled with brine
Dragging me to depths unknown.
I see not a solitary soul
Down here, amongst these
darkened fathoms.
Not even the stars — so bright,
Can reach me now.
Sinking into my own
Silent universe.
Was it better to have known company,
Only to feel its loss?
Years now.
Tens of years.
Maybe I was always alone,
Just a shadow walking human shores.
A dream that lost track,
A foolish daydream.
Now I am home
Hidden from everything —
Swallowed by nothing.

Stop
I caught you in a split second
You could see the blue paint on the walls chipping
I could pin-point the exact moment
Your breath caught
I was submerged in the sound of your heart beat
Which seemed to slow down a bit
I surveyed your eyes lose something
The light didn't seem as fluorescent reflecting in the blue specks
I witnessed a fly hovering over the plate of food you left untouched
And I studied how lose your shoulders looked when they dropped
The buzz of the refrigerator was deafening
And the silence from your throat was everlasting
I could pin-point the exact moment
I could only watch when your heart broke

Some say you can know someone
From the contents of their purse
From their favorite music
Or what they want to take with them in a hearse

I say it's a far simpler method
To just look at one's search history
Which is why I messed around with the settings
And made my Google tracks a mystery
