the astonishing works of the mind that create a few tiny wrist movements to formulate beautiful, powerful words and display clearly the thing that, however hard you tried, would just get caught in your throat and could never escape your lips.
Blush sears up my neck and onto my cheek bones as I smile at you

i like you {haiku}
the feeling of my rib cage constricting, crushing, breaking under the strain of my heavy heartbeat and sharp breaths constant constant fear, no, worry I don't want it to break but I am almost sure that I will

choose your next steps wisely, they say choose with your head, your heart, your head one on top of the other conflicting sides battling splitting families, friendships, countries this oh-so-important decision in the hands of the people my hands and can I trust myself to choose the right path, can I trust myself to choose the way to benefit my country I just don't know my weak and fragile hands are shaking under the strain

watching you, just standing there- as the world is fitting into place around you, a puzzle for which I am unfit, the wrong shape and you don't care

To watch as my best friend disolves into tears Because of you To watch her hope and pray that you would still be there for her To see her try to talk to you To type messages to you to which you will never reply To see her being there for you for months as you battled with yourself To watch as you pushed her away To accept your harsh words and say nothing as she was hurting so badly But now, as you dance away into the sunset with someone else, I can not just sit back and watch you hurt her anymore because, as you know, this would break her and its not fair You're a coward, that is all, a low life coward And you leave me to pick up the shattered prices of someone you used to love When you could have prevented it And its not fair But you are just a coward

Coward
why, I wonder, have I become so fragile when I used to be so strong why, I wonder, do I see the world as if everyone is against me when I can break through and see that they are not why, I wonder, does my heart beat so fast and terror rushes through my veins for seemingly no reason at all when there is nothing to be afraid of why, I wonder, can I find so many flaws within myself which were not there before And with that I fell asleep

why, I wonder,
bodies bustling forth and back shouting and laughing eyes closed letting the crowd keep you moving every so often you will be lost but good lost and with the flashing lights like a million pictures being taken in a row everybody's form changes and distorts around me strong arms and backs pushing me between them no one really enjoying themselves but just pretending to be happy

dream/nightmare
Your tear stained face is etched into my retinas As if my heart yearns to make everything better And to rock you to sleep Or to brush away all of the bad things And censor all of the bad news Hypnotize all of the bad days in a long forgotten past Hold you in my arms until everything was better Sweep you away and make you happy again Like you deserve If only you would let me care If only If only

the eyeless eyes following my outline the fixed limbs moving in one form to create an expressionless figure and an expressionless mind just as I want to be
