American “For whatever we lose (like a you or a me), / It's always our self we find in the sea.” / / / ― E.E. Cummings
I now know that the person who breaks up the relationship has it the worst. When there is no real cause, no true animosity or reason, except that you feel like you can't believe that you've gotten this far, but how can this keep going when you have no ******* idea who the two of you are? No one ever tells you that you are left with all of pieces of the broken relationship. That there is no ammunition to get over a person, except the self loathing you feel towards yourself. You spiral down from feeling like it was the right choice, to wondering                 why                       you                           even broke up with them in the first place. And the jealousy, oh god the jealousy, it spills into your blood stream every time you thirstily grab at a blush, no make that light green, or even deep red colored bottle- does it even matter- you've tasted it every. day. of. the. week. These pieces, they are scattered in places and in forms you would never expect them to be. You reach and try to grasp at the grey hazy spiraling memories with your hands, but they are always ever so slightly out of reach.   You look at the mirror, looking at an unrecognizable face, pity rotting upon it, dragging you down like a ship drowned by the relentless wrench of the sea. Can you even blame anyone but yourself? You don't deserve to heal.

I'm The Cause Of This Wreck
and as you lay on my bed I look at you and want to throw away all of the wishes I spent on shooting stars and change that rattled in my pockets begging to be thrown in a well just for you

nothings that are only ever bitter sweet
But you deserve this, Nicole. This shaken child that you now behold. All your actions and desires brought you to this point and the rest of your life you and your born out of sin child will pay the price. But, thank you for making this happen, for stealing everything less than a man away from me, I was blinded- holding him high on a pedestal, because he was someone I though to be my love and best friend. No more than cowards, loving each other forever. Merely 11 months in you let this everything less than a man shake your child. But remember, everything leads up to the moments we are now living and this is your life.

I just needed to write this....
Have fun in Cali, with who knows who. I wanted you to be here today- I wanted you to be here for thanksgiving I wanted you to be here for my 18th birthday but really, I wanted you to be here everyday,                                                                                              dad. A year has past from when I wrote this... I maybe saw you three times in between then..... and now. I could guess you had at least 15 girlfriends in that time. You said you would drive up from Boise to see me on my birthday, but it passes and it seems that Moscow is far from Kentucky. Till next year.... I guess.

Sometimes I forget to think about you.
It's not like I would of taken you back but it's sad that there was no fight in you to even try If out of everything, that is what hurts the worst. It's every girls dream to have the guy who hurt her, and maybe my views are a little ****** up and twisted because I've watched too many sappy love stories at night, to do something courageous for her. Not just flowers or an I'm sorry but a full on play music outside my window on a lawn mower or something. Something more than doing nothing.

Chick Flicks Ruin Lives.....
What has happened to the souls from before us? Thousands of years ago, do they haunt this earth or did their "God" lead them to salvation or pass their soul onto the next through reincarnation? Will our cities be ruins, like the Mayans, another lost civilization.

What becomes of us?
Poetry should go for a walk at night Through the park lay in the due sprinkled grass and gaze up at the sky lit by stars and a Hunter's Moon With you Poetry should put on a crimson red dress With blackened leather boots And sing for all of the ladies and gentlemen Who drove for miles just too hear her voice Poetry should put on her blue and white polka dotted galoshes Dance in the rain and jump in puddles with the kids and let the rain drizzle upon her head With not a care if she gets wet Poetry should sit down and curl up by the fire sip some hot chamomile tea And read a captivating book that Richard Tyler would befriend Until she drifts into sleep Poetry should paint you a picture of love One that starts with a smile, blue sky's, the brine flavored ocean And ends with your lips running across my chest while my hands caress the nape of your neck and yours entwine with the tangles of my hair Poetry should make the colors of the leaves turn as clouds creep into the sky leaving a blanket of crystals on the ground Poetry should thaw out your forgotten memories that froze like the once trickling creek so you can know that every second is worth while

Poetry Should...
You know though, it still hurts and it's still ****** up and life goes on and I mean I loved you, god I loved you. But time has gone by, **** it's been going by so fast. Two winters ago I would have never even questioned us, even if it was me from the future I still would have ignored myself. Just a fool that was played and how can other people go through this all the time? And I guess you got your wish. A child at the young age of 20, something that a once 17 year old girl should not have to give. I don't mean to sound like a girl that had her heart broken, because really love is something that I never wanted to dabble in and I do not want to be weak, sad, and pathetic. This doesn't seem like poetry to me and it's because my inspiration has been torn out. But here is a plot twist: I think I hate nicole more.

Still A Little Bent.
"Fill me up, steam me up, hear me shout, tip me over and poor me out. Poor me out on the concrete, next to your feet. Do I have to cry? How can you hear me? Oh, Just to be with you" I want to scream at the top of my lungs, Oh, please notice me. Don't call me man or bro.... It breaks my heart everytime. I look at you and think of the times we have spent together, few, but amazing. And after them, how can you see me just as a friend? How can you pull me close and dig your face into my neck and not think I don't want more? You fell asleep in my arms as we watching the lightning. How many hits can I take? I feel bliss around you and all I want to do is kiss you, but I fear if I tried you would deny me and say that you don't share the same love for me as I do you. "You look at me holding on to a dream that filled me long ago, but I'm still wating. I'm still holding on"

Sappy Love Notes to a Friend that I Like More Than a Friend
I was born to be a child that planted seeds of happiness in whoever I met, so my parents have told me. I don't think I have ever had the leading role in this play. I've never been that girl who everyone fawns over with the spot light shining on her all the time. I was meant to help others like the backstage hands. My biggest accomplishment was teaching my mom how to laugh at herself. She has always been that busy workaholic type. At this point in my life, it is only Act III Scene II and there hasn't been a visible plot yet. My soul is chameleon, and it is indecisive as to what color it should be. My ideas of what I want to give to this world change all the time. But soon if I don't pick, I will be thrown into a ****** without any heading. My most secret dream is to become a painter, but nobody has ever understood that part of me. When I paint, I lose all consciousness of the outside world and there is no incentive to paint besides the love of  looking at a finished piece. Maybe one day I'll be a starving artist who gets a break and then I will get my spotlight on stage.
