English No one will ever love you as much as an artist can , even on your worst days they will find poetry in the knots of your hair
Have you ever wanted someone to beg for you? To push against you and plead to feel you ? To tell you how theyve ached for you .. All... Day ..long. I need that . Begging and baring teeth , Crazed without my fingertips. I want him pacing , anxiously awaiting my return, where i can remind him again why im worth waiting for . I want him up all night counting and recounting the 100 different ways i drive him crazy , a constant game of teasing and rewards. I want my name to give him goosebumps, closing his eyes and hearing how it sounds rolling off his tongue..... I want him crazy about me .

Crazed
Laying in an ice cold room, IV in my hand, I close my eyes and plead with god Trying to understand . " im sorry we cant save it , But theres a chance that you could die; I know your in a lot of pain And Its ok to cry ". I feel my husband squeeze my arm, Im trembling in fright , Im sad and im defeated And I dont have that much fight . " Your bleeding into your belly We need to operate right now , Continue to be strong for us "... .....But i just dont know how. A foggy conversation , And their whisking me away , My eyelids get real heavy And i just start to pray. Waking up to quiet , Im tired and im sore , Depressed without a baby On the maternity floor. God must have a plan for me That i just can not see ; Even through our struggles Whats meant to be ... Will be .

Defeat
I stood in our closet For what felt like 100 years Talking myself out of staying And holding back my tears. I couldnt form a single thought; Felt like part of me had died, I was the one who gave and gave The only one who had tried. Shaking hands , hollow heart, And nothing left to say. Pack our memories in a box And ill be on my way. Anger and sadness fill my heart And now im just feeling lost , Love can be a dangerous thing And my heart is the cost .

End of the line
I fell in love with the way your demons slow danced with mine , twirling around the floor so gracefully i forgot i was flawed.

Slow dance in the dark
Its been years since your fingertips Have lived on my skin. Months and days since my taste Has been on your tongue. It feels like a lifetime since ive woken up To your smiling face , or fallen asleep to you Whispering quietly in the dark. Why does it feel then, like only yesturday that i lost you? I swear time has slowed to a crawl since that day, I watched your mom cry as we both said our goodbyes to you, grasping each other , Clinging to the only person who loved you as much as I did. I had packed your things away , And as hard as i tried ; the smell of you And your clothes wouldnt leave our closet . For a while i masked it as much as possible , Till standing breathing you in brought Me comfort. I went to visit you today , it bothered me To see Your life narrowed simply down to Chiseled cursive in stone reading "A beloved son and brother " . It made me want to tell everyone who you were About the things you did that mattered; The time i knew you , The dash between the dates . And on the first warm day ; every spring ,ill feel you;  with brand new flowers budding , I have peace of mind knowing There is always a new start , even after the harshest of winters.

..And in the dark cathedral you call your soul, your broken pieces have formed the most beautiful stained glass windows, i cant help but want to peer inside ...

Illuminated
Tiptoeing down the hallway Praying my parents wouldnt wake Sneaking out the back gate To meet you by the lake. Its become tradition To grace this spot at night; And down behind the cattail bog We can disapear from sight. Crickets hum and whisper The lightening bugs aglow , They dance and flit about us, Putting on a show. Summer heat , a giant moon and only you and i , On a blanket making love Beneath the twilight sky.

Cattail Bog
She said "please take just one more bite , then you can leave the table" I push the food around my plate , I dont know if im able. Skinny wrist and tiny arms And never fitting in , clothes that All hang baggy , its a battle i cant win. I assume that they can hear me In the bathroom down the hall, Getting rid of that last meal , To make myself feel small. They make my favorite meals , To try and keep me pleased , They dont understand my Sickness, this is a disease. The world shoves it down our throats, how women and girls should be , perfect hair and body and not over a size three. This sickness has been an anchor , my hands and feet are tied. The qualities that matter shouldnt be found on the outside. I wish that i felt good enough , And expectations would be fair , So i could eat what i wanted , And no one would have to care.

Anchors
You' ve changed . And i cant point at any event and say " it happened then" ...It just happened. Like a snow storm and flurries and it adding up before my eyes. I never realized how much hurt had accumulated... till i was standing knee deep in sadness.
