"Do you believe in Magic?" I asked him.
He replied, "More than I believe in my very own existence."

Isn't it funny..
how sometimes the most intimate thoughts..
can only be shared with the strangest of strangers?

It’s the happiest people
That are often the saddest
It’s in the quietest places
Our screams are the loudest
It’s on the sunniest days
The dark depression rolls in
It’s in the deepest waters
We find out we can’t swim
It’s from the ones we love most
We try our best to hide
And it’s through the fakest smiles
We tell white little lies
No matter how hard
I continue to try
I can never repress
The self-loathing inside

Cascading colors
Like paint on a canvas
Dripping, melting, and morphing
In the caress of the cool evening breeze, I lie
Drinking in the summer sky
I watch as the warm reds, oranges, and yellows fade
Cooler shades slowly sneaking in from behind
Royal purples, midnight blues
Banishing the warmth from the realm of night
Taking with them, celestial light
Darkness fighting desperately; seeking to forever dominate
Morning light breaking through the black chains of despair
Angelic white light crashing through the nighttime terrors
Golden sunshine lending hope to the world once more
Watching blue skies, while black birds soar
Colors
Swirling through the skies
Always out of reach
The world so much bigger than I
Made obvious by the colors of the sky

He's sound asleep
But I am wide awake
The tighter his embrace
the more lonely I become
Trying to wipe away the tears
before the salty, fat drops reach his skin
revealing my darkest secrets
Revealing the loneliness that consumes me
The loneliness that haunts me
The loneliness that fails to be conquered...
even by the tenderness in his eyes
Revealing the loneliness...
that will lead to my demise

Why, it’s a masquerade my dear
Everyone here knows
You’re a fool to pretend differently
Now show some control
They’ll torture you
They’ll tease you
They won’t understand
Now come dear darling, please show some control
Why my dear, don’t be silly
Stop being yourself
Put that mask on your face
And show some control
Look at them dance
How they fall into step
The dance is continuous
We must show control
Like gears and like cogs
Watch how they move
How well they’ve been trained
They all show control
There’s no room to be different
Not in this dance
For if you make a wild move
There will be no control
So my darling, I plead
Put that mask back on
For if they know you are different
There will be no control

The sun shone so brightly
it washed out the sparkle in her eyes
or maybe I just couldn’t bring myself to look
As I was telling her goodbye
You see, I felt for her so lovingly
My heart breaking into two
Tears softly trickling down my face
Hoping she didn’t have a clue
I gave her a quick embrace
Then turned around and walked away
It was hard, but I didn’t look back
Kept my eyes forward, praying to make it through this day
She had held my heart with an iron grip
I could hardly breathe
But to her I was as replaceable
As a daisy on a summer’s eve
I wish I could mean more to her
But it’s always been this way
Nothing more than a friend to the girl I love
Never able to make her stay
She boarded the train to London
Adventure in her soul
I used to smile at the sound of her laughter
Now everything seems dull
Gray skies, gray sea, gray sidewalk
The train rumbles down the track
I ignore the stares of strangers
I so desperately want her back
Why is it, love has to be this way
That sometimes it’s not returned
To fall in love with someone so deeply
For you my broken heart will always yearn
I hope you find your happiness
As I will continue to search too
For someone who shines as brightly
As brightly as my girl called, Lou <3
