And in the end sometimes We do not forget The bridges that we never crossed To the homes, we never lived You do not always lose that which you hold At times you never held it yet there it goes In our memory, it stays Though only as a dream And in the end sometimes Life is just as hard as it seems

In the End
As early as you can Change your leaves to spines Sink your roots deep Bloom in Spring Ripen in late Summer Do not trust the coyote, who only wants your fruit.

Learning to be a Cactus
I am becoming so tired of my glass being emptied by you. Every time you fill me, bitterness takes up more space My head is a lemon. My heart is running out of sugar to sweeten this drink we call love. I don't want to make lemonade, I want sweet tea

Sweet Tea
She is an enigma A heartbreak The unmovable past A sea of tears The breeze on a September day The bitter taste of beer She is a girl, without a thought or care Who killed me through you

Enigma
What does it mean to be engulfed. To feel and hear the swelling of the ocean around you. A deep blue abyss filling your lungs. The waves are crashing into me. Constantly finding the waters surface only to be pulled back under. Exhausted from drowning and finding no relief. The thought of letting go encroaches. Letting the monsters in the sea pull me down. The tranquil stillness of the black ocean depths. Allowing myself to drift away and dissipate To be free from this it seems that all I can do is let myself drown.

Sea Monsters.
I do not dream of being your uncertainty. Fragile skin does not last without cover And Uncertainty does not set out to protect against the rain. Uncertainty embraces entropy. Uncertainty embraces hips and strands of hair. Uncertainty sees the future as fate. I will not be your uncertainty. And in my lowest depths I vow to you that I will go on without you. If you cannot see me as rock, concrete, unmovable. You see, you were my only certainty But it seems that certainly will change.

Uncertainty
I fear that one day you'll lock eyes with someone else That you'll  take away my daydreams without a thought or care That you'll leave me in loneliness, and bits of despair That any beauty I thought I had will go missing to you I fear you'll leave me broken just because it's something you can do I want to be the most for you that anyone could be. Your friend Your family And your one and only I hope you can forgive me for how scared I am at times That I can't make your world stop   Or have you to restart mine.

Fear of Our Unknown
I use to think of you in fast increments Now there are pauses Vast deserts We are arid Parched Drying out with no water to support us And I am not dancing for the rain.

Is it always a time bomb? A constant countdown To the inevitable A losing battle Before the first bell rang The problem, Not knowing who set the cables Was it myself Or you Him Or Her It feels like nothing can beat the past The time bomb ticks Our answer waiting Behind a cloud of smoke So Do we move forward Or do we choke

Time Bomb
I want you to catch my dream I want your web to consume my mind and you breath through me As i breath through you I want your feathers to sweep my speech to take every word i purge and turn them into wonders I hope your spirit finds my thoughts and has them dance across the fire sky I want you to catch my dream
