I am a rock Buried under an ocean where the skinners rule the surface And everything else beneath Moves unknowingly with the current But deep and still I stay You were a rock too Left feeling alone and unloved parts of you eroding with time the ocean was very rough on you Yet you were never swooned by the current Never tempted to float to the top where the waves crashed in the shore For your sadness was akin to mine And the abyssal I have lived in for the first time felt like home Someday Just like you I will feel like I belong somewhere in the vast depth of the unknown Little did I know Lost just like me There are other rocks at the bottom of the sea Though how dark and scary it may seem I know will not be alone forever for You taught me that it was okay to be a rock

To Carrie
Still trying to find The pieces of you That you left behind Inside of me I have become blind Or your pieces have intertwined And melted with mine Maybe by autumn the pieces will unbind All will be forgotten and left behind If only it was that simple for here it is always summer

Pieces
It was so easy to remember, but I wish it was easier to forget.

Dear Anonymous, There is a slim to none chance that you will ever actually read this. This is simply a way for me to clear my head of all thoughts of you. Things I wish to say but never will. I do not want to sound foolish but I almost believe that fate brought us together. I never would have thought that in my travels I would meet an incredible person such as yourself. Since the day I met you, I was drawn to you like moths to light. Besides the fact that you are quite handsome, you have a mind so beautiful and untamed. Although I know I did not love you in the fragment of time that we spent together,  I realized there are many things about you that I can recall I do love. I love the way you spoke. I sat with you for hours and just listened while you spoke passionately about a time in history or a philosophy or  anything in between. With you, a conversation was never boring. I am still in awe as to how intelligent you are. I did not want to miss a word you said. I love the way you made me feel. I remember how my stomach would turn upside down when I ran into you everyday on my walk to and from campus. I love the way my heart would race whenever a mischevious smirk appeared on your face. I love how you let me be myself. You laughed at my dumb jokes but did not make me feel silly for them. I love the way you laughed. I loved when your lips crashed into mine and made my whole body feel like spaghetti. I love how your fingers felt wrapped around mine while we walked through the busy streets of the city. I love how you made me feel safe. Most importantly of all, I love how you wanted me as much as I wanted you. Then before we knew it, we had to say goodbye. It was as if I was awakened from a long dream and returned to reality. You could say that what we had was contemporary. It occured in what was then the present, and too complex to be depict by others. Thank you for all the memories we've shared.                                                             See you again someday,                                                                                     Me.

I have this utter sensation in which darkness is clenching my throat with growing strength, and the ability to breathe is declining rapidly with time...then I feel nothing. It seems as though depression has robbed me of my humane emotions and left me with nothing but darkness itself.

I am afraid that people will see me the way that I see myself...

Lost inside my thoughts and Overthinking everything Never say what's on my mind because Even when I speak I'm not heard. Looking for a way to be okay. When You see me you wouldn't suspect                         how lonely I really feel.

lonely.
When my eyes found his smile, my heart beat times a thousand. And while his smile still lingered, my heart began to slow. In that moment I realized how much I craved that smile. And for no other second did i want to let it go.

Moment
It was dark. The smell of rain filled the air. His bright devious smile That outshined all the starts in the sky, Was the only thing I could see. His touch was poison. His lips were infinite. His taste tainted my tongue. His voice was like a song. His heart was mine. It was dark. I was all alone in my room Tear drops staining my face Listening to music and my laptop screen Was the only thing I could see His touch was no longer felt His lips were no longer met mine His taste no longer lingered His voice was a song no longer sung His heart was no longer mine Before I could think Everything was gone Maybe it was all just a dream And when reality hit It had hit me hard Before I could blink He was gone Maybe I never had his heart And It was all just a game That I had lost
