i feel like i'm drowning
but the air is so dry here.
it must be my skin,
my failing lungs,
the way i slip out of life
when lights are too bright,
my brain can't take the pressure
i feel faint
and my body
my insides are cold.
nothing is real anymore.

i have lost feeling on the bottom of my right foot.
i stepped on a broken something
and its sharp edge cut my nerves.
it is one of many.

i am working very hard at being noticed.
long streaks of eyeliner keep my paper white face from slipping into 21 year old patterns
that i often see on my walks
skinny jeans give my body permanence
new, high-heeled sneakers
walk me back to flesh and bone:
the stains on my lips remind me to exist.

i am falling behind
blending in
fading away
from over-exposure
i must find new ways
to darken my frame
define my lines
make me easier to see
if you look at me
then i exist

i exist

i exist

i exist
I Exist I Exist I Exist - Flatsound

All death could ever ask for is life
All hell could ever ask for is heaven
All hate could ever long for is love
All the earth could ever want is the sky
And all I could ever want is you.
For my love.

No worries on her mind
No battles to fight
Just peace
Her head on my chest
Her hand in mine
I couldn’t think of a better place to be
I can’t believe she’s all mine
To watch her as she sleeps
To brush her hair back behind her ear
I can’t wait to be here for many more years
I look into her lidded eyes and see nothing but sweet peacefulness
This is what I crave
This is what I live for
Your happiness
Your peacefulness in my arms

If Cupid is real
I've been shot many
Many times.
The other arrows always
Missed
However
He probably ambushed you
While you were reading.

You, darling, have provided the words that send me messages.
I respond constantly, a code exchange.
But, now, you have left your  collections of jumbled thoughts
Behind. Drifting.
Why?
I will never understand abandoning your words.
And let them abandon mine.
The soft curves of the letters your fingers writ
Caressed my eyes. Beautiful sound of recitations echoing.
Future silence is ringing in my mind, missing the poetic visions
Before you ceased.
Our words are lovers, dear, as are we.
And I know that you will not leave us as your sweet letters have,
But mine are empty without.

Have you ever noticed
That when you're running
You aren't listening to your
Breathing?
But when you stop
You notice it
And feel more tired?

In life
Have you ever noticed
That you get caught up
"Running"
And don't stop?
You are going with the flow
But if you stop and look back
You may notice
You aren't the same person
you may be compromising your
Morals
And not even notice.
Hurting others
Without a thought
And leaving behind those
You really care about.
I suggest
Stopping
Turning around
And looking at your life
Because you may be tired
And not even notice it.

Just a thought.
I can't forget you
I wont ever win this fight
Aside from everything you said to me in spite

Erasing you from memory is so **** hard
The one thing that  keeps me going is the way you looked at me in my yard

You stared at me that day with love in you eyes
Something I gave you got you hypnotized

I was so naive that day, I couldnt see
All you wanted was to be with me

I hesitated, I was scared, I didn't know what to say
So Instead I gave you a hug, walked inside, and pushed you away

You read me as If I didn't want you, but that was a lie
I wanted to tell you that it wasnt goodbye

But it was too late, you moved on
I am left moping, hoping.

2 years have passed,
you still cross my mind
But like buried treasure, you made yourself hard to find

Its ok now, my heart doesn't hurt as much.
Just know that at one point you had me at the clutch

You had powers over me, now Im immune
One day I will Forget you, one day, Soon
