this is my life. vegan. musician. nature freak.. I'm just your typical hippie setting foot on the journey to happiness...the scars on my wrists and the scars on my heart speak words that carry with me forever.
i lost myself in the northern wind.. a cold kiss to my skin shaking me with a touch of reality.. revealing every depth of damage within my heart.. as if the leaves were words surrounding me in whirls screaming through my ear "im lost"

lost myself...
he speaks with blades between his teeth unsteady of what to say fear he will hurt her his tongue as a flame, spitting fire in her lungs everything he does, a mistake that can't be undone with knifes on his lips each word they slip falling down to her body. where she takes the hit. she lays there amongst every weapon from his mouth knifes, blades. fire but the worst one is the gun he speaks words that will shoot through her heart and once again she simply falls apart... he beats her with his words but his hands remain still his touch is gentle his heart is just ill he needs his flower to teach him to grow a love like hers is all he has ever known. she wraps her vines around his mind trying to calm the beast inside.. as the flowers grow peace fills him up high he finds his security in the love she provides a love like this?.. will NEVER die

words as weapons
there is a certain stillness, when even the gentle flutter o a butterfly wings feels like a hurricane. the moment when crashing waves fall asleep, peaceful, lost to the serenity of salty dreams. when tall trees stand to attention and every leaf passes, takes a deep breath and holds it. it is here, beneath the maddening silence, i hear your name. an echo of you. screaming to me...an echo the moon carries trying to reach but can not touch.
