Hello? Are You There?
I wish I was sixteen with an ivory ribbon in my hair I didn't think I'd get this far I didn't think that someday, again, I'd care ... Now I'm in the future The crystal ball did not see I thought I'd be at the bottom of a lake somewhere for the fish to feed ... Now I think I'm stuck here in a future un-forseen I wish I could have been a smarter girl I wish I was sixteen

Candles
I want to feel your skin graze mine hot and lazy in the summer afternoon light and delicate as if almost on accident as if almost on purpose as if almost in love I want wet kisses that stain the curve of my neck from the lingering presence of your lips The breeze caressing and cooling the marks you've left behind Trailing goosebumps up my spine I want to feel your warm tacky fingers sticking to my thighs like you've just messily eaten something sweet Moving like slow molasses Melting me in the humid heat I want to stay right there with the summer sunlight trickling through the window blinds With a dull sitcom on TV The cued audience laughter muted in my mind Playing my faux innocence in that dreadfully pleasurable moment of yearning for you forever

As if Almost in Love
I'd rather be the dirt Nitrogen and worms And I'd rather be the sky Water vapor and birds that fly The setting for the story's scene It would all take place around me I wouldn't have to feel I'd rather be the ocean Starfish and teal I'd never love too much Or worry that I wasn't enough I'd just exist Living but more importantly Not really alive

I don't want to die
You have your art You have your music You have your writing You have your fighting You have your sport You have your research You have your animals You have your heart You have your mind I have nothing And I want to die

Passions
I awoke changed I could fly But then a small boy caught me in his net of lies Flakes of azure drifted to the floor as I deteriorated beneath his oily fingertips revealing the transparency that lay underneath It made me weak Then began the tears And no longer could I fly with these rips in my wings And he left me there To die dehydrated in the heat of the sun Not close to shelter Not close to anyone But then You found me I don't know how You took care of me Gave me water Built me a garden Where I could crawl around Like I used to when I was a child And it's started to help with the pain After awhile And even though I can never fly again I live azure I love you You saved me You'll always be a friend

Azure
We were both writers in a way Both clever Both artists and madmen Disconnected from reality Lost in translation Bent with broken backs From carrying the weight of humanity's misunderstandings Yet somehow We found our eyes for each other I could finally see That my capability for love was not broken You were just looking for me

Broken Backs
People like to think I have a beautiful mind Sad and romantic Just like in the movies But the truth is I don't really have one at all My head is empty My skull is hollow Forever drifting I just follow

I Just Follow
I don't feel alive Until I go outside Until I'm engulfed in nature Like how babies don't know they're human Until they look in a mirror

Until I Go Outside
The salt water washed away my face As I made love to the man in the moon In a gentle tide I felt out of place From the turbulence of the open sea chaos was my life But his light bathed me The sea glowed with a somber incandescence The sea calmed almost to a halt The sea slowly simmered within me Burning Me and The Moon The storm was finally gone
