breathless
it grips you with a cold blade
tight around your throat
no screams escape;
no pleas get out-
nothingness; no sound.
. . . the whispers threaten;
your pulse quickens
"I'm a failure,"
"I'll never make it."
stops. turns to:
"no one wanted you anyway,
so why are you still fighting me?"
fragmented as it may be,
you turn away; ashamed.
frightened. in pain.
but suddenly-
a voice, growing stronger through the years rages on.
"Because I deserve to not feel like this."
"Because I deserve to feel wanted."
"Because I deserve to believe the truth."
"Because I deserve to not be in pain anymore."
"Because I deserve to be happy."
Because you deserve to be happy.
I promise you deserve to be happy.

if you think
for just one second,
that the soul you hold in your precious body
isn't cared for by at least one being on this Earth,
then you don't know this Earth,
with Her twists and turns,
Her forests, and streams, and winding roads
And creatures numerously flooding her Blessed Planet.
for the possibilities are nearly infinite
and even as a realist
or at worst, a pessimist
you have to admit that
the probability of
millions of Human Beings on this Earth
not caring about at least one soul--
YOUR soul
is the true impossibility.
so please consider this:
in all the minutes and seconds you have to live,
wouldn't you rather spend them
smiling upon the moments you feel cared for
than frowning upon the ones you feel not?

my eyes are like the ocean
my heart has the temperament of fire
what I lack in devotion
I make up for with desire.

your words
once so pure
now create a pain
i cannot endure.
your voice
once so soft
is now less than a whisper
i don't want to hear anymore
but i cannot condone your silence
i cannot allow myself to listen anymore.
i cannot justify to myself
the violence your echo resonants in my bloodstained ears.

i remember
the lost nights
the starry skies
beckoning for our call
i remember
the stupid puns
the illegal driving
that caused your anxiety to
C R A S H-
right
into
me.
but how could i forget?
when your anxiety ran rampant
a collision of devestation
unparalleled by delight.
how could i forget?
watching a beautiful soul
crush himself under my weight
how could i forget?
the collapse of anything sacred-
the burdens you put on me
the burdens I put on you.
no... I remember.
i remember you
unbecoming you-
and me
becoming me.

we are the forgotten souls
we are the ones who thought
we'd been left behind
when really we did the leaving

i cannot sit here
knowing the future is full
of so much promise
and possibility.
i cannot sit here
knowing the past is bereft
of so much comfort
and hope.
i must keep moving
knowing the present
is.

simply because
someone has a kind soul
does not mean
they deserve
your
pain.
in fact, maybe
you should realize that
not all kind souls
have full hearts.
often our hearts are broken
often are hearts are torn
often we break them
for you
a kind soul does not always mean a happy one.
and sometimes they want you to understand that.
we are all broken.
but not all of us
choose
to break others.

when i'm clear again,
when I

pause.
i seek comfort in the strength of words, of music...
something
that i can't
lose
again.
something i can TOUCH.
something i can FEEL.
only to find it, and
lose it once more.

why is it that
i can still retrace
every single piece
of your shattered heart
back to
mine?
even when time goes by
even when we both lie
to ourselves
even when the page runs dry
we coincide.
yet still, it remains unanswered how-
years go by, yet
you will never trace
a piece of your fully whole heart
back to
me
