My thoughts so scattered like body parts strewn across a silent battlefield beaten, ****** and tired unable to withstand the power of opposing forces I crumble under the weight of my own mind My thoughts are so alive yet so broken they think but they don't understand whatever is in there, cradled in white bone protected and treasured it thinks but it is not ready to understand.

Mental Capacity
To laugh That forgiveness is possible That it's okay to let my guard down sometimes To trust He taught me what it feels like to miss

My Ex Taught Me...
You may read this and not understand but I guess that makes two of us. I have this impossible need to cry. I want to cry and I want someone to see. Maybe if they see they will understand. They probably wont understand. I have no words for this feeling that burns inside me without words, crying seems like the only way to get it out. I want it out. If I tried to give it words, I would use, drowning and suffocating and trapped. But thoes are just words and they do not prevail what is pinning me to the floor of my soul. Its force is unyeilding and I endlessly long for a way to express its power, but it seems that a power so strong cannot be expressed. Not by words and not even by tears. But maybe if there were tears someone would hold me and lie to me. Tell me that it's all going to get better. Thats what people do, we comfort each others sorrows even if we don't posses the sorrows of the other. So maybe I will cry. And maybe someone will care.

I know the truth. I guess that is all that matters. That white one shouldered dress, that clung tightly to my hips, like a woman to her lover. I know the truth. Maybe that dress had been removed, but nothing was given away. Dispite common belief. Even through a thick haze of drugs and alcohol, I know the truth. "It doesn't matter what anyone says or what they think" That's what I tell myself. But I know, with the wholeness of my being, that I care. I am not a **** I was younger then, not by much, but younger. And I didn't know that you could turn me into something used and tainted, frowned down upon by others. I didn't know that your few words and a mischievous grin could turn me into something I am not. But I knew the truth.

Truth
The spark of the lighter, a noise forever ingrained in my mind and dear to my heart. It warms my fingertip as it will soon warm my lungs. I bring the flame up to decorated glass. Swirls of pink and blue, sparkling under the dim light. They look as if they are tangable, like I could reach in and pick them up and feel the softness of the colors in my hands. Cradling the intricate designs, as the designs cradle the green that brings ease to my mind. I inhale. Burning from green to black before my eyes. Heat in my throat. Burning so good, hitting deep in my chest and everything that has run wild finally falls into place. I exhale. We rest on porches, stay wraped in the protection of backseats, or let the manicured grass hold us as we stare up into the unknown. We are facinated by the unknown, That of the world and ourselvs. We explore through a window newley opened, savoring every second of the breeze that we have discovered.

Your hands are posed up in front of your body, as if you are warding off bad things. But your face is waiting. Fingers come up to meet yours, weaving themselves around you. They are my own. Our palms press against each other, a fire igniting beneath us. The white blue flames licking our toes. How can a simple touch feel so rewarding? I lean in so the tip of my nose grazes the stubble, stiff, but I can still feel the softness of skin below your jaw. I want to take that skin in between my teeth and **** and make you want me more. But this isent about *** No, this is so much more. I inhale that intoxicating scent. A scent that can't be described as anything but you. Just a simple smell, so intense that it wraps its self around my chest and squeezes, until I release my breath. Unable to hold on to it any longer. Your arms move around my waist and they are pulling me in closer. But im drifting. Blackness is consuming you while my ears are perking, ajusting to a horrible high pitched noise. I roll over, shifting under my stiff cold sheets. A green 7:00am flashes in the dark as I embark on another day without you.

Another Day
Swallow that lump inside of your throat Open up the closet and push aside all the clothes You believe, and never needed more to be said To leave you scared of that little gap between the floor and your bed So you jump, leaping over all of your options And retreat right back to that bed we call a coffin To sleep, never actually getting a wink Due to all the little devils that dance around in your dreams And attack you, pull you under the bed with their hands And take away the chance of you ever making a stand And if anything actually ever went as you planned That you could retrace the steps that you ran But only if it hits, if it speaks You could fight it to the death in the streets You'll grip those sheets in attempt to hide And figure out that you've been running from the feeling of never leaving alive

Humans, creatures of affection, we crave the touch of another being. The blood that pulses under the finger tips of another like us. Minds that wander, learn and create, like our own. We yearn for that rush you feel inside when your soul fits with another. Like leaves falling in autumn, landing softly in the outstretched palms of the grass. The knowledge that somone understands and feels the things we do. That knowledge is what allows us sleep. That knowledge, that hope, is what keeps the lonely going.

Why is it so hard to be alone?
So there is this pyramid. We learned about it last week This guy, his name was Maslow...is Maslow maybe he is still alive. I'm not sure. I don't even know his full name....I''ll probably do really well in this class, by the way. So, Maslow, he came up with this pyramid. A pyramid of physiological need. Ineresting right? I think it is pretty interesting. The bottom of the pyramid, the biggest part, contains the things you need the most. Air, water, food, sleep...you get the idea. The next part says saftey and security. In order to live a fufilling life you need... air, water, food, sleep, saftey and security. Pretty simple Then, this guy Maslow, he throws this ******** into the mix... on the next level of the pyramid he puts love and belonging. Love and belonging? A necessity? I have only lived about 19 years of my life and I think it is safe to say that I have never loved. Not really loved anyone. I love my mom, I love my dog. I hope that is the kind of love that Maslow is talking about or else ....I am not fufilling my physiological needs. So I'm a little ****** up, yeah I could belive that. To top this **** off. Maslow throws Esteem and Self-esteem on the tip top of this pyramid. Well now Maslow...hes really making my day I got none of that either. So here I am taking some notes in class and Maslow makes me realized that I'm a pretty incomplete person. Right here, in the middle of my Psychology lecture surounded by at least 300 other incomplete people.

Maslow's Pyramid
Do you remember that night out by my car. Daddys Caddy, bright in the moonlight. A home for our words, carefully choosen, sometimes not. A mutual ground. A safehaven for thoughts too bold for sunlight. The darkness helped us, I think. Protected us from seeing too much, when too much was being said. Maybe I was a little drunk. Thats all it took, some liquid courage, for you to know that I was sorry. You touched me then. Not a "I just want to **** you" touch. You felt me, deep inside. You knew the claws of a beast were tearing me down. Not one that could be tamed, and could only be suppressed for so long. He was there and you saw him, clear in my eyes. Usually gaurded, fighting him back. But there he was, pompous as any. Jabbing me in the ribs, "I told you I would get out" There he was teeth beared and all, ready to rip me down right in front of you. Right in front of my Daddys Caddy. Claws, teeth and lies.
