Like old horror movie slime engulfing an entire city-so she has taken over my mind She pushes the levers in the space that was once a clean circuit between my heart and brain. You see I am trapped For the one I hate the most is fused with the one I love the most. How do you run from and towards the same thing? After a while you just stay put. So here I am tonight stifling my cold hate again. I know she loves me more, but fear is a powerful thing. So I will stay because I love my mother more than anything. Maybe even my own dreams.

Stepmother
So what was your first impression? hesitant sigh "He was a nice enough guy, seemed genuine it's just..it felt too polite, like he was running a script of all the right things to say. He came off as easygoing but inside it felt like he was on 10  - there was a frenetic energy around his brain you know?..and internal grind..and it's not bad or good it's just oh sweety he's got some stuff goin on." I raised my brow and nodded in reluctant agreement. There's a certain kind of heartache that comes when you glimpse into someone's private suffering. When you have fallen for their act that carries them through the real world. A solid oak turned out to be a scared shaky leaf.

Fragility
So aching to be in love You romanticize the few good moments And turn a blind eye to the red flags. Gut says no No, no, no Save yourself the pain, don't ignore me now.

You're not the one
When I see you The clouds will part Shimmering petals will swirl in the air The look on your face Will tell how you've adored me since lifetimes before I'm your favorite and you are my home. I'll want to run to you But slow will be my pace My gaze For I know time will stand still for us To savor our reunion We've been homesick so long

Hello, Soulmate
My dad kept his eyes on the road, brimmed with tears and you just gotta beleive, His voice brittle, fighting not to break. That we'll all be together again someday.

See you in Heaven
I still drift back to one song I heard years back. See I had me a "come-to-Jesus" moment When you opened your mouth to sing. I mean **** I confess Since that night I've wanted to get next to you Tell you about the time I was in the crowd All ****** and hazy Then your voice rang out I sat up in my seat, leaned in Suddenly awake and utterly Stupefied.

Crush
I was told once that I lived a former life as a nun I liked the thought It rang true in my heart. But what about this other one that keeps showing up in my dreams? Where I  smoked virginia slims Danced nights in a hazy dive bar Black hair A luscious mystery Mainstreet by Bob Seger That'll take you there. Oh, and please, I would like if you trusted in me to discern imagination From a soul memory

Past Lives
I wish it wasn't so. This primal fear When I feel all eyes on me.

Public speaking
I wanted so badly to uncover a bright clean heart in you I kept on digging like a mad dog in the dirt I know it's gotta be here somewhere. See this is urgent All I wish for now is to find a glimmer of hope in the dirt And climb on up to the surface with that treasure in the palm of my hand. "See! Proof that you want to live to see tomorrow"
