People wonder how I can let go of someone I love so much, with such ease. Well, I helped repair his wings so why wouldn't I want him to fly?

Broken Birds
You write about offering a simple and pure form of yourself. It was meant to be like that. We weren’t ready for each other before now. There is no coincidence in the fact that we met right when I was re-building my life and you are at your best inner-self but yet we both started down a similar spiritual path. That glowing simplicity shines through so clearly and I treasure it. What you are and have to offer from within is worth more than any material item. So many people in this world hide behind their things. Deriving self-value from it, but you really don’t have that option and in a strange way, I am grateful for it. In that I have the opportunity to get to know you in this form, before you go out into the world and feel its many pressures. All of your past mistakes are beautiful because they are a part of who you have become. I love your cracked pieces just as much as any pristine ones, if not more.  Sometimes I fear that you will take stock of all my complexities and realize that you just cannot. It’s a bit hypocritical isn’t it? To accept you as you are, but not expect you to do so in return. You are seeing me as I am rising from the ashes to become a higher form of myself. My vulnerable spots are not hidden away by armor or skin calloused from battle. We are both in a place where hiding just doesn’t seem like an option.  Just are who we are. I do want you to know, that even if you were not getting out soon, I would still stick with you. You’re beyond worth it.

Excerpt From Love Letters
You write about offering a simple and pure form of yourself. It was meant to be like that. We weren’t ready for each other before now.

Once in a while I miss you Just now and then When the planets are in funny positions So goes my common sense Late at night when no one else is around You are on my mind I ponder all of the good times that we had But then, The Universe steps in and reminds me Reminds me of the nights spent crying behind the bathroom door Or the shreds of my artwork spread out on the floor as you slept it off near by About all of the times you told me that  I was stupid When you hit me then told me it was my fault It is funny how time and our minds play tricks on us so that we almost forget all of the bad things.

Sometimes I forget
Some things never change You never have Even after I'm long gone You're still crying about how the next girl never understands How the next one can't seem to appreciate that you're her man Well excuse me while roll my eyes Excuse me while I laugh at how you're never satisfied Delusions, illusions, confusion Whining that your kingdom made of sand melts whenever the tide comes in That costume crown you wear must make you blind I guess you didn't learn last time Blindly demanding respect that you didn't earn **** some little boys just never learn Now if you ever read this you would say that I'm just bitter But in all honesty, I feel like a winner.

When You Accidentally Run Into Your Ex-Boyfriend on the Internet
Do you ever reach out in the stillness of a Southern California night? As the tide pulls away from the shore, do you ever wonder if this all turned out right? Hidden behind steel doors and paper, you once told me that you don't believe in regrets Perhaps it's just easy for you to forget I can see the glow of Mother Moon on the waves in your eyes The parts of you that could never lie Even in the moment when you made promises with unspoken exceptions Glass between us, not able to look you in the eye when I realized that we were each other's reflection In the air that rushes against your face Amongst the earth beneath your feet Immersed in the water that you become weightless in, Hidden in the fire that you find within Is where I will be found There is no end for us in sight This much is clear It's elemental, my dear The only secret from you that I ever kept You are the colors of the galaxy on the back of my neck Forever asking if you can hear the story of us again and again Never having to fearfully wait for this all to end For the bright fiery masses to fall from the sky As they are enclosed safely behind our eyes Most people are afraid to let go But there is a secret that they don't know Love is infinite, forever on-going This is why I let you fly Because I know that when it comes to you there is no such thing as good-bye

It's Elemental, My Dear
We fall for the ones who never seem to love us in return But they need the medicine that we ooze The broken-winged birds linger above as we try to find our own way Waiting to be mended with our heart power We are the healers

Empath
You are my true love No matter what path you take No matter who you lay next to at night No matter who you have children with No matter who you watch walking down the aisle dressed in white I will love you the same Without conditions More than the stars in our vast Universe Unfathomably so True love is not about being the only partner they ever have It is not about labels of romantic or platonic It is not devoting your whole life to someone no matter how they treat you True love is between two souls who want nothing but the best for the other and loving one another so much that they allow each other to fly No matter what direction the wind takes them Even if it is away Yet still loving them the same True love is not abusive It is not vindictive It is not jealous It is not holding on with white knuckles because you're scared that you'll lose them There is no need to hold on because true love is an indestructible thread that binds us together far past the sight of man So I will find the comfort of others arms And follow my own path with great joy But never love you any less then I do now Souls never forget This is how I love you, truly

People Always Talking About True Love
To the Person Who Can’t Hear This, In my room, half-clothed, wondering where the **** to go. I look out the window to see a promising sunset, supposed to remind me that I made through another day. Another day that you’re not here. Everyone tells me that I’ve gone on to a better place as if I’ve passed on to another plane of existence, no longer in the same world as you. Was leaving you supposed to set me free or did it just bury me? The bulletproof glass of being too late is where I broke my bones trying not to be the unloved undead. It will….not…shatter…But I do. The crimson, metallic liquid pouring out of my wounds taking form as all the words that you ever said. While the enveloping venom is all that you didn’t. No matter how much I scream you see nothing as this glass is a two-way mirror. All you see when you look my way is how ******* good you that you look today. You know what they say: out of sight, out of mind. But no one ever told me about being out of your world and being driven out of my mind.

To the Person Who Can’t Hear This
I feel ******* invisible Being in your past But I can't even scream out how I feel because I'm not even supposed to miss you To everyone around me, You are public enemy number one The villain who left scars Who used me as emotional target practice You ripped me up into pieces To use me as fuel for your fire For your ego Why the hell would I miss you? Underneath the floorboards of the ruins of the house that we built Are the metaphorical polaroids of my secret The fact that I almost lost my life just to escape Because playing house with you is fatal Making eggs and bacon for my own personal dementor Because playing house with you is playing Russian Roulette alone as you are too busy being the gun And as I was hanging by the last apron string You grew weary of the decor But didn't bother to give your 30 days notice This house is nothing but broken glass and ashes now But I visit when no one is looking Finding a broken reflection Now you've built a house with someone new And this house doesn't even exist to you.

Invisible House
Tonight I miss the Bronx, I want to feel the cold east wind on my face And have him pull my cold hand into his jacket pocket That was my home, He was my home I want to hear the screeching of the halting 2 train in distnace as he slides between my legs
