Feeling feelings since 1996.
does that make me a monster? the fact that I can look into someone's eyes, and tell them I love them and not mean a single word of it

monster
She goes to my head like a glass of high class ***** Henry said, invades my night, and dreams to such an extent that nothing, is quite what it seems. She touches my heart, and mind so that I walk my life, and day, like one who's blind. She moves me to words I seldom use, make poet of me that words often fail or use too ill, so that I can feel but feel, but I love her still. She turns me inside out, and outside in, leads me to dark night, and days like one one minute a saint, next one who moves to sin. She brings tears to eyes with both humour, and scorn of words, and deeds, she plucks the ***** of my heart until it bursts or cause to bleed, but still my love I offer, my word, and cause I plead, wherever it may lead. She goes to my head as often to my heart, as often I see her come and go, I love her all else is lost or found, I love her good, I love her sound.

HENRY'S LOVE.
I take you all in I close my eyes and with a lump in my throat I send it all to you. The way my chest swelled when I think of the memories we've made. Your lips turn at their edges and I know love is real because it comes out of my breath and you took it deep into your lungs.

but two things are imminent death and the day I break your heart

waiting game
I like to close my eyes because it makes me feel invisible not like my body disappears but all of my emotions shine through my eyes and when no one can see them it's like my sadness doesn't exist and sometimes that's what I need to believe because when the days feel too long and time goes too fast for me to keep up I stare at the ground when I can't focus on anything else and it's the only thing that leaves me grounded.

Sometimes I look into the mirror and nothing looks back but a pair of blank eyes that take more than a moment to recognize who they are looking at.

Anna, the young lions won't want you forever. Eventually you are going to get tired of keeping it tight, of batting your eyes, of applying the gloss just right. Anna, what will you do when the invitation beds come to an end? Eventually the lions will settle, while you gather cobweb and callus, while you smoke cancer and wallow in cellulite. Anna, find a boy who makes you feel like the sun. Ultimately, he's the only one who can save your soul from all the crimes you've done.

when the gentlemen stop calling
art is me trying to be me in a world where everyone is different so aren't we just all the same in a rat race where everyone is everyone and everyone is running just to try to win even though everything is falling apart and your words don't make sense ideas don't come fast enough and everything is spiraling out of control and you can't keep your balance can't stop dropping the matchsticks when you just want to make a flame to light to light up the dark because you can't see where you're going and all thats left to do is wonder if theres a god and whats he like and does he love you like everyone says he does or does he even understand love because I sure as hell don't I mean what is love I say I love art but sometimes I don't want to draw even though drawing makes me feel sane makes me not feel all the hurt but sometimes I need the hurt to make me realize I do things to make me happy but sometimes its too much and your lungs feel too tight and everyone tells you they understand and they don't and that just make your lungs tight sometimes too tight to breathe

lungs
There are so many days. How do I keep track of what to feel? I can feel happy, but awful. Beautiful, but those are the days I tend to cry. and I don't cry beautifully. There are times I'm an open book, yet so closed up. Days I feel full of myself, but there are more where I wonder, "who the **** would want me?" Maybe I should want me.
