Taking my time with it all
Can you love someone who can't see past you? Past your defenses your troubles your stress your tears your smiles Can you love someone who can't see inside of you? The churning your stomach the missed beats of your hearts the heat between your legs the cancerous tumors that life has put in you Can you love someone who can't heal you?

See me
There's a moment where you wish you could just press rewind It was just five seconds ago that you said that It was just a minute ago when you dropped that and you can remember it in your hands or the words trapped behind your teeth and you would give anything to just try and fix it just a moment ago you could have turned the wheel just a second ago you could have just fallen the **** asleep and let it alone but no you took the plunge and there's no rewind there's no going back and the past is the past

Rewind
You make me think of my children will they be cared for the way you cared for me? Will they feel like their house is a home? Will they yearn for attention like I did? Will they grow up unable to process their own emotions like me? Will they have a father who can see past his own wants? Will you be there for them?

My father
I've been crying for the past half hour because I started reading about those who were declared dead and how they felt peace and nothing else Maybe it will happen when I'm older but I don't want peace I want to continue to be in a constant state of love with you I want our craziness and joy and sadness to continue on for eternity I can't imagine a world without it

Love after Death
I'm afraid of many things the dark ghosts tight spaces and even inch worms But I never feared falling in love down the stairs into the basin of a crater or down a huge mountain I believe in reincarnation that we have many lives after this one and many lives before this And if I were to have a life before this one I believe that I used to be a bird One that jumped off cliffs spreading her wings and taking flight I feel the urge to do this quite often To jump and spread my wings flying off into space or to a new home constantly flying but never consistent

I'm a Bird
The river hot and still sits lazily at the banks One foot in and sinks into the mud Ripples echo off of my ankle and minerals solidify on my calf Another step and the water crawls up my thigh The muddy waters reach my waist and I sink and I pray The contents of the river are unknown and I give all of myself to it The sun burns my ******* my voice is raw and my eyes are red This is my worst form and the river swallows me hole

Muddy Waters
I am weak And when they ask me What has made you this way? I will only whisper your name Your smiles Laughs Eyes And arms Have made me weak I long to hold your hand within mine And to caress your hair under my fingertips To see your smile brilliantly flash in my direction And to feel your breath intertwine with me Our hearts beating in synchronization You have made me weak I used to stand strong On my own Indestructible I left you In an act of defiance against my own heart To prove to my own self That I would not be a fool again I would heed the warnings And listen But I am broken The hand that would hold yours Aches painfully My fingertips bleed With my carelessness My smile has disappeared My breath is stuck in my throat Choking on words I want to say My heart is shattered By my own hand That wields a dagger Carved from my own bone Every ounce of strength I possess Is used to stay away from you You have taken so much from me My happiness My strength My appetite My peace My future My soul I walk around my own home like a ghost Haunting the walls A shell of the woman I used to be Only occupied by a pathetic creature One that only takes up space One that only ignores what is painfully obvious And one that can’t seem to let you go What am I doing? Why can’t I let you go? My hair is falling out My skin is losing its color My smile is losing its brilliance My laughter is forced Why have you made me this way? I need you And you have made me too weak to get you

A single moment in time is significant enough to change a person their entire universe until it revolves around a single entity With a gravitational pull so strong and vibrant it is impossible to not get ****** in And it always starts with a Hello

Hello
He grabbed my hair and shoved his **** inside and I cried and when he asked if he should stop I shook my head because I knew if I told him to stop he would only get angry and frustrated so instead I laid there and cried and he would say "Your crying almost makes me want to stop"

He ***** Me
i hate you not because you did anything wrong but because it hurts too much to love you and that line between love and hate is so fine
