Misty white light Reflects off clouds Through windows Onto skin Up arms, down legs Liquefying resistance Weighing down on her back Eyes closed Movement is subdued Between dreams and life A comfortable purgatory No needs or wants or Thoughts The brain is chained up No more running away Safe to endure Until an eye makes move to open A lock will follow suite

Half-Asleep
Pools of heat we play in whenever, A Love so grand an endeavor But romance is dead forever Where is it found and how do we follow? In truth we’re only left to wallow Because romance is dead forever. Let us and me and you scorn them, The rulers we believe condemn, But no more are they worthy of attention Because romance is dead forever. If it shows only dark and dreary endings, Why must we keep going on pretending? While why is only a question And time is only a piece I hope to give a suggestion That without a love forever We float a little higher, little longer In our own, worthwhile release

Heated Love
I want to be made of ink To dance with the words on a page And be part of someone’s story To lose myself in possibilities In a world of warm rain and Blurry morning light

Defining Happy
I guess I’ll just wait Another month Just one November Some time in between And then I’ll tell you I promise I always keep my promise But I should wait I don’t know what I want And I’m sorry I hurt you I’m sorry it will be more than a November I just need to know if it was you Or the feeling I wish they were one in the same, but Sometimes it’s too easy for me to fall in love with love and not you God I don’t want to Hurt you And that is what’s Changed I hurt him to find comfort in anything else, but Hurting you is Slowly Clipping —chipping at my heart Right in the middle Like a bullet that goes straight in so You dig, and dig dig dig Through this mess in your chest your Mind alone in its room of mirrors nothing Is changing Bang shot fired only One shot fired but zing Boom Boom Boom louder, pounding head shouting don’t bite it just swallow Chest is hollow throat is Tighter face turning whiter wait- Don’t forget to breathe, ******** in **** out- stop

Promises
I was supposed to be happy I left him because it was Right It was Socially acceptable But I was pulled so hard away from You I didn’t want to let go, and I don’t know why I’m crying It’s over a year since you cared I think you did Or maybe you just wanted her,and I know she wanted you But why does it still have to hurt when he moves on with her I know I use her as a mirror Because I don’t know how to judge anyone but the reflection I want to smash it but I can’t I need it I need to know why And I want it to stop because it Hurts, so bad The first relationship shouldn’t feel like this He was too long ago, too shallow, too blind to see you for you So why does it hurt My face is still wet And this isn’t helping

First love
Your love was orange And I never really liked orange Before I could see the bright floating fire On the sea of your iris’ Orange was the color of forced smiles Days of sun when the world needs a little rain But when the sprinkle Turns to storms I see you And you don’t run for cover You run for me And I can see my orange My sunset heart For the first time And I could cry All the velvets and rivers and fields But all I want is orange

Orange
You tasted like starbursts My hand holding me up in the tall scratchy tree Your arm around my waist I kissed you soft so as not to break the moment You tasted like starbursts I could see my friends I wanted them to see us See me Kissing you in the tree As I tried not to fall, but I know it was Too late because on your chapped pink lips You tasted like starbursts

Starbursts
The calming beaches fill with strong currents going every way, too many ways I warn them, and wrong sounds of rushing water fill their ears instead They need to run, but their bodies can’t move No They won’t move They want to stay with me No They give me their hand But I’m not ready to go yet, the sun is still out lying with me in the sand     It surrounds me in an embrace I never want to let go The last thing I can’t let go of The heat feels so natural And I’ll wait for the storm to pass Watching them walk up and away from my little beach I should call Shout   Scream It’s okay, they can’t hear me now I shouldn’t strain my voice I can wait And maybe next time I’ll go
