American I was born with a pen and paper in hand, the ink continues to spill from my soul. I'm a woman of constant sorrow.
I am the crinkled corner of your lips when you smirk The freckles on your nose blessed by the Earth I am the glowing glint in your green eyes Lighting up my bedroom by no surprise I am the shiver running through your nervous bones The raindrops on your windowsill when you’re all alone I am the warmth in the summer breeze Twisting through your knotted blonde locks with ease I am the soft hand tickling your rosy cheeks The angelic whisper singing you to sleep I am breakfast for dinner after an endless work day The warmth of your sheets begging you to stay I am the lost melody to your old, favorite song You listen to in your car with the windows rolled down I am the sweet honeydew sprinkled on maple leaves A springtime pleasure patched at the sewn seams I am the peace you search for within But for peace to initiate you need faith to begin.

I Am,
Anxious feelings Frighten your soul A hand in search Of something to hold Fingers tangle And melt in my palm Our hearts beat To the same lonely song

Holding Hands,
Yet another endless night Midnight or so I lay in my old twin-sized bed Wondering about you. Your blonde hair shines in the sunlight Green eyes glint in the moonlight Have you ever been so nervous That you can feel it all over? Every moment you smile Is another worth living Every laugh released from your lips Is another reason for my heart to beat I only hope you are thinking of me.

Endless Night,
You have a fragile smile And a delicate soul This is a secret You’ve left untold I promise I won’t break you, Burn, Mold, Or deface you. I’ll place you over the fireplace Like dainty teacups of China A glimmering, pale frailty Emotionally and mentally the finest. Like a flame in the wind I’ll cover you up Hold you close And care for every piece. You deserve the most.

A Flame in the Wind,
Emerald eyes, auburn hair Whistling under a tree Porcelain skin, ruby lips Sipping on her tea Petite waist, sweet smile Dancing around the pier Stitched wounds, hollow heart Sinking in a sea of fear

Disguise,
Tattered and torn A curtain sways in the morning breeze You are no longer here A ghost brushes against my cool cheeks Roses surround a revelation Nothing more than another obstacle, Even the brightest chandelier dims to a dark room.

Chandeliers,
If I stood outside your home In the pouring rain Mixed in with treacherous tears Rolling down my cheerless cheeks Would you let me in And warm me by your sweet embrace? Nuzzled in front of a fireplace With an afghan smothering our bodies And hot tea in our mugs Would you let me spend the evening With you instead of my thoughts? I could listen to your shaking voice for hours Even when I’m not so sure of what to say However you often must say goodbye You head to your home I walk alone to mine Each step I take into the indefinite unknown I really hope sometime You’ll ask me to Stay.

Stay,
I hope one day all of the darkness will fade You’ll take off your mask in his masquerade Flowers will bloom on the inside - From your rib cage to the back of your spine Your empty eyes pouring out pain Will dance in the moonlight once again Maybe tomorrow you’ll dust off your brain Even in the depths in which you claim you’re insane Your voice shakes, your knees knock Like the chiming bells on a hickory clock The nightmare you endure day by day; A never-ending infection, a lagging plague Phantoms cover you like your grandmother’s quilt Tire you so all you can do is wilt The paperchain dwindling by the windowsill Is tattered, frail, and utterly shrill I hope one day all this madness will stop Until then all I can do is watch.

I Hope,
Is it such a shameless sin To fall in love with who you are within? No one ever speaks of how beautiful they can be If they didn't put an entire focus and energy On artificial eye pleasers To tease the mind To define beauty With a worthless dime & an impossible size If you keep depending on everyone else to tell you you're lovely For who will you perform when crowd leaves? You count the calories Instead of the stars For the world to see Another beautiful body. To run the long mile So your thighs don't touch Will who you really are ever be enough? You've wandered down a street Where the washed up women are all so cheap For red lipstick you are a thief Who will you be When the audience retreats? Once the whole world disappears Into meadows of flowering fields And numbers are but an illusion so far All you'll have left to count on are those god **** stars.

Bodies
Love me like it's the last time Kiss me quickly before we say goodbye Walking with you has been a gracious life Nothing could shine brighter Not even the stars at night
