American Putting words to the feelings I never thought I'd feel, using words I never knew I'd use.
I attempt to be sustainable by not investing in anything trite; however, I feel like that keeps me from feeling an abundance of any one feel.

That twin size bed in a room the size of a closet where we shared new adventures became nothing more than a place where I lost all respect for you and myself. I hit the wall hard with my fist seven times before the tears I cried led me to the garbage can across the room, where I sat praying I could ***** up the hate I felt inside. Instead I sat with the trash between my legs, like a drunk after too many drinks, I gave you too many chances by laying in bed with you again. My face had never felt so wet. My heart had never raced so much, my stomach never ached so much, it was then I knew that we were dead. My tear drops were rain drops in the trash between my legs, a storm breaking through the ceiling would be my only competition. But the thunder and lightning of my heart beating and fists pounding were louder and harder and caused more damage than any storm ever could. But you sat in our twin size bed watching me as I ***** nothing, and cry for something, I had once, for months, given my everything.

The Beginning of the End
He woke up because he dreamt he was falling off of a cliff; he stopped dreaming of falling and started living to jump.

Epiphany
You sat next to me, It has been a long time since I was that happy. Christmas in January. I want Christmas in February, too. Christmas every day.

Christmas Pants
We studied the science of sleep in a pile on my bed. Hiding under the covers, I kissed you on your head. Although we were awake, everything felt like a dream. When the morning came around, I was sad to see you leave.

Too Many Times
Romancing the end of the world We danced in suits outside, Underneath the blue night sky The stars and moon collide "The world is ending," I whispered "And we are going to die." "I know," you said "So let's keep dancing - be mine until we die." People were crying and screaming In fear for their lives Then they saw us slowly dancing And didn't care if they survived. First two became four, then twenty more Dancers joined our side Until the whole world started dancing Under the falling sky. The stars and the moon began to fall Burning us with no surprise We kept on dancing until the end We had never felt so alive.

Rising and Rising
Tragic and beautiful, she looked at the mirror hoping the person looking back thought more of her than she did.
