a vacation in nyc (10w)
one day, i will shrink myself small enough to crawl into your heart and remove all the darkness that makes you cut yourself out of your skin.

new year's resolution (rough draft)
1. harvest sunshine from your soul 2. place it inside my heart 3. plant orchid seeds in my stomach 4. watch the rain from my mind fall down on the soil 5. grow flowers out of my fingertips

to do list
after we met, flowers started growing out of my hands. my fingers stayed warm under the patch of yellow roses and daisies you planted. thorns defended my words against harsh winds, but no need to worry- you always carry a pair of hedge-cutters.

i don't need gloves
some have souls that eminate rays of light, sunshine pours out by the handful. other souls drag rain clouds behind them, leaving puddles that soak the earth. maybe it's time you start surrounding yourself with both souls, take a bit from each, and plant a garden of baby's breath in your own.

ghosts are real 10w
tear-stained walls support my heavy head until my brain turns to slime from thinking too much. i can't function until i know she's okay.

the closet corner
the clouds have been keeping me company; each storm brought a new story. i had to stop and listen.

irony
if pain is what makes the world beautiful, i choose to live a life of misery. if cigarettes calm your anxieties, i choose to have broken lungs. if alchohol numbs my mind, i choose to have a dead liver. if all the good things **** me, i choose to say "goodbye".
