I write the words, you interpret them. / I aim to discover the power of words.
I close my eyes, and as sure as the wind comes with the rain, bullets come flying Caught in the crossfire of the thoughts that I control, and the those that try to control me And I wish That I could turn off this, machine because whoever said it has better to have loved and lost then to have never loved at all Had not stayed up all night thinking that maybe You were the best thing that will ever happen to me And that you were the world, and I could’ve explored your corners for the rest of my life And that I just need SLEEP, and TIME, and Sometimes I forget to eat And I know it’s an issue but the way that memories of your smile creep into my routine doesn’t help my appetite. And I drink to fall asleep And I know it’s an issue, but my mind spins like a wheel And it numbs the things I feel And I know that I’m wrong to miss you I know that I’m wrong to think of bliss with you I know that every eyelash is just a wasted wish away from another chance to Feel again. So I close my eyes one more time and wave the white flag Until I fall asleep from this nightmare and wake up where real is open to interpretation

White Flag
Science says I have 60,000 thoughts per day I’d say that about half of them are about how excited I am for lunch Math says that I now 30,000 thoughts per day. Not every thought can be an immaculate conception clay-molded from consciousness But thanks to you, they can all be of something beautiful

A Simple Poem
I struggle to say what hasn’t been said I could go on about her for hours My sanity was hanging by a thread And she got inside my minds locked towers She is more unique than the galaxy She is more than the name she was given Her compassion defies all gravity this beauty, I don’t know where to begin There are 228 recorded spellings of the name “Unique” Each is desperate to be unrepeatable, individual, non-conformist, idiosyncratic, original, other. She didn’t have to try: she was born to be unique. She is as unique as the name she was given, and the one she has made for herself. She is beautiful as the words she writes and the ideas she shares with the world She can make you laugh so hard that you get a weeks worth of 8-minute abs and your face is crimson She can sing so you forget the world around you as every cell in your body begs to listen to more When you have lost your way, she will be your tether, keeping you true to yourself She will remind you every day why out of 7 billion people you will choose her over everyone else because she. is something else She will love. She will love and love and love and love and love and love and she will spread joy with her restless soul because it is too wonderful not to share She will be herself, and that is more than enough.

Something Else
Groaning grunts grows greatly rendering respect… relinquished, reluctantly over ostracizing only openly without withholding weary words. and Lowly lessons leave larceny, emptiness embodies, emanates, emulates around abandoned admiration, amassed. Recover reference, reticulate resistance never negate nostalgia knowingly.

Tingling Thoughts Twisting Tongues
There is a dam in my mind And it is slowly breaking Memories leaking through. And when it cracks and the flood comes through and I don't know what to do I will wish for Peace Peace from the war I started between what I thought was right and what I hoped might be the beginning The beginning of the never ending The beginning of the never sending Messages of apology Checking my astrology Looking to the stars for answers And finding dust Sifting through my fingers

Flooded
I knew it was the right love But not the right time And so my heart gets colder

Right or Wrong
Words aren’t heard They are digested. Food for thought And currently I’m starving

To Know
Love, is... terrifying. It’s like a neurological virus spread by smiles and laughter It can make you feel light as a cloud Then send you falling back to earth, knocking all of the precious air you would use to apologize. For all the mistakes you finally realize you made. For all the reasons they would never have stayed. There is no cure. It is just you and me. And a place beyond the trees. Somewhere we can go to be just us. Leave the world behind, let them make a fuss. Spend our days never phasing, and all our nights stargazing. We We may be small, but the love we have to give is infinite. A picture is worth a thousand words, but your smile is worth a thousand worlds. So let it come to no surprise that it lights up mine. Eliminating, the hidden sadness behind “I’m Fine” When our time comes to an end, it won’t be land I hit. I will fall into the ocean, while a wave drags me under. The shadow of our time will sink like a ball and chain And no matter Of buts Of what if’s Of could have’s Will make it float back to the surface. Sometimes letting go, is the only way to arise, and see the beauty of the horizon.

To Whom
My veins are a maze of roads You Are rushing through. My heroine, That keeps the blood flowing That keeps the heart beating That keeps the mind dreaming You are my drug I'll pull you close. I need my fix.
