Mama said
"The sky is bright but the clouds are dark."
Papa said
"Your face is bright but your eyes are dark."
Sister said
"The world is bright but the people are dark."
Brother said
"You are bright but yet all you see is the dark."
I am the light, I am the dark.
We blend together, marbled in epiphanies of color and emptiness.
The strings that play the music also hold my wrists and ankles and make me dance to a tune I can't sing along to.
Untie me and see that when free, I fall.
So don't let me go but always hold me back.
I showed them more of me.
Mama said
"You're different."
Papa said
"When did this happen?"
Sister said
"Why did you let it consume you?"
Brother said
"You're completely gone."
Believe me, I've lost my bearings.
Help me, I'm so gone.
Save me, I want to come home.
I've missed everything, I miss it all.
I know I've left your side and I can't find my way back.
Don't leave me where I am even when I beg and plead.
I showed them all.
Mama said
"Where did you go?"
Papa said
"Come back."
Sister said
"We miss you."
Brother said
"You don't have to be alone.
But I already am.
I am so alone.
In the largest gatherings of the ones I love, I'm the most alone that I could be.
The surface of the water is bright but what swims underneath is so dark.

Some boys will kiss you
Some boys will **** you
Some boys will love you
But only one boy will die for you.

You said I love you.
I say I love you more.
But love is a prime number,
and zero squared is still zero.

The caress of your
hand
like a soft
spring shower
The taste of your
lips
like a warm
June flower
You look at me like you mean to
kiss
But tease me with
intoxicating bliss
I reach,
you touch,
I feel,
you brush
My
palpitating
skin against yours
The melodic movements as you open
wondrous doors
Fiery passion
and
adventurous feats
Entice me with thoughts of
our
nights
under
the
sheets.

High school high,
from over there.
Mechanical hips,
wire hair.
Low count sheets,
cigarette burns.
All alone,
I have learned.
Initiate
what you will,
we chase love
until it's killed
****** winds
across my room
as I sleep,
my body blooms
On repeat,
my hurt is blue
don't feel bad
you can hurt me, too.

and the world was suddenly cold without you
left breathless and heart racing
thoughts, pictures, imagination run wild.
come back...
please?

We work and sleep and eat and breathe
Monotonous work, dull sleep, tasteless foods, stale air.
No originality. No new ideas.
Imagine that world.
Where everything was forever recycled.
instead of monotonous work, work for what you love
instead of dull sleep, dream of adventures.
instead of tasteless food, create new inventions
And instead of stale air, take a deep breath of originality and... Write.

When kids pop more pills than balloons
at a fair, take more rips from bongs
than Beyblades, shake hands with *****
dollars and plastic bags, steal more money
than hearts, are in more mugshots than family
photos, **** more than war, sell more ****
than lemonade, read more billboards than books,
go through more girlfriends than socks in a week,
text more than they write, inject more ******
than flu vaccinations, drink more beer than fruit punch,
put their lips around more pipes than Popsicles,
and die more than live;
then we'll know we've failed them.

The wind is whistling through my cracked windows and I'm trying to sing along because I think it might be the song you wrote for me. But now I can't keep up and I'm falling behind because the song was too much, too soon and I wanted it to be longer. I'm completely lost in the music now because I am just a pair of wind chimes among the thousands of others on the back porches of the lovers you've had. You were the wind and I was just simply one more pair of chimes singing your song.
