I am just going to sit here
in the quiet
because I like it.
I do not mind
alone sometimes,
so long as it's alone
on my terms.
I do not want to be known
and special
to the world entire,
just to a few
who love me well.
So I will sit here
in the quiet
and watch the world
pass me thoughtless by
in search of glory
because I like it.

Oh, hello again butterflies.
Nice to see you've come back.
How was your holiday?
I really am glad to see you again.
I'd nearly forgotten what it was like
To act twelve years old
And be in love with the world.
Well, one piece of the world in particular
Who walks and talks and sends
You butterflies all a-quivering.
I missed the feeling of poetry
Welling up and spilling over
The confines of my soul.
Welcome home, my butterflies.
Do hang around for a nice, long time.

Dark clouds conferring
Over the stillness of my soul
Afraid to move
Just in case
I splinter
And scatter
All of my pieces
To the corners of the world
Never to be whole again

How unfair it is
That I cannot do
HAIR MAGIC-
That my wispy locks
Won't listen to me,
Not even with the persuasion
Of a gallon of hairspray
And a million pins.
How unfair that I
Cannot look this good
Every day...
But there is some
Small comfort in my
CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES-
(The ones that everyone raves over)
I shall be messy haired,
But happy.

Phantom kisses from
Imaginary lips
Ghostly fingers
Running across my hips
Chilled play-pretend
Tickles across my skin
The throbbing of my heart
Killing me from within
Warm and solid
Yet all in my head
Feeling alive
In a world of the dead

Staring at a screen
--Hiding in the library--
My brain... will not... move.

Hello?
Hello?
I can't hear you anymore. Do you hear me?
I want to talk to you.
… see you.
… feel you.
… simply know that you're here,
that you're not slipping away from me.
That, right there, that is my biggest fear;
I fear your absence.
I don't want to be alone
in this crowded world.

Hello,
goodbye.
I don't hear anything from you anymore.
I don't know if I want to now.
It's been so long, it feels like longer
since you and I last met.
… talked.
… anything at all.
It hurt, at first,
but now it's gone all
numb.
My heart, that is.
-3-
Hello.
Yeah,
I guess it's been awhile.
I wish I was closer.
… stronger.
… more in tune with you.
But I don't know how.
And I'm scared to.
And I'm going oh so very fast and can't seem to make myself-
stop.
Help.
Please.

Distance.
There's too much distance in the world.
Too many shadows to hide in
and too many holes to swallow our souls.
There are too many love songs,
but not enough love.

Pretty pretty princess
Stuck in her tower
Sighing at the window
Dying in her bower
Lonely little princess
Waiting for the day
When dashing Prince Charming
Will carry her away
Poor forgotten princess
Still all alone
Heart no longer beating
For she has turned to stone

Surprise me.
Come into my life without warning,
Sweep me up with a breathless wonder in my lips.
Delight me.
Fill the moments in my mind with giggles,
Little awkward moments of shyness for me to fill.
Adore me.
Tell me things I only half believe,
Make the thoughts behind the songs come true.
Kiss me.
