I used to think you were beautiful The way you moved when you danced Was a sight to be seen by angels The way you burst into abrupt laughter at your own jokes Was the most inspirational way someone has told me That life was the real joke and its best to just laugh Oh and the way you pressed your face against a person to kiss them Like you just couldnt get close enough. But then you told me all the things you've done All the people you've ****** over All the times you ****** up bad And got ****** up bad... I used to think you were beautiful But now i know its not that simple Its something real Real in the way I could be that person you **** over I could be something you **** up bad Or be the person you get ****** up bad with But more than that I could be the one you danced with I could be the one you laugh with I could be the one you kiss. You were something real and tangible in that moment And that was the most beautiful person i have ever seen

And i thought you were beautiful
It was that time of day Just before the sky burst into its mystical array of oranges, reds and, purples. Where the wind seemed to endlessly rustle through the tree A white noise to calm the mind You could see only then tallest blades of green grass Dandelions Daisies Twitch and vibrate like the stings on a guitar Recently plucked and left to make their resonant hum When you stared off into the light haze covering the mountains in the distance it seemed as if there were a thousand tiny creatures dancing and celebrating all around you It was that time of day Where you started to feel a slight chill come over you but when you sat up just straight enough For just long enough Faced the quickly descending sun And closed your eyes You could feel each and every Ray of light Kissing and caressing your skin Warming you from the inside out And you hear a silence fall over the trees as they cease conversation for only a moment An ominous silence Just before a gust of wind sweeps over the hillside and cools you back down It was that time of day where What little clouds the sky held Went from the darkest gray Where the sun would not shine on them To the perfect combination of gold and white Where he kissed them goodnight before his final decent behind the seemingly translucent mountains Where the trails left by the airplanes Full of homesickness and wanderlust And the sky that guided Seemed to separate almost as if you could just reach your hand up and grab them And it was this time of day The sun grazing on the peaks of the mountains   The sky starting to explode into all of its hidden colors Where you can hear the touch of lovers all around you as they slide closer and closer and closer While the darkness starts to creep up from the sky behind You take a deep breath and let your hand fall open You feel what seems to be he last gust of wind roll between each of your fingers as if something was missing Maybe A hand Maybe a heart and it was doing its damnedest to fill it Where you realize you are truly alone And you have never felt more at peace.

I long for you like the moon longs for the sea Pulling you towards me eternally only to have you crash back down while i sit up here and wish that i could drown

I am sorry. I am sorry I laid with you in a bed that was not yours Even though there was a man waiting for you to come home I am sorry I stepped between you and him on a path that was not my own On the path of man that you told you loved I am sorry, with my arms around you, you opened your eyes And with both pleasure and grief, you looked into mine I am sorry I was on your mind All the while you were on his It was not my place It was not my right But I am not sorry that I kissed you And when I close my eyes I can still taste you lips on mine I am not sorry that I held you tight all through that blessed night With the passion of a young lover and no intent to let go I am not sorry that I wooed you with my kindness and love And when we woke, your face shined brighter than the sun I am not sorry that it felt right And perhaps In another place At another time We both wouldn't mind.

A sincere apology of the passive aggressive sorts

Whatever
What do we fear What do we fear Something no one wants to hear Not that home has become estranged but that it will remain the same So we fall in love Just because and just before we go Because who knows We might need a new reason to come home

Down the rabbit hole is a mysterious place with darkness and light all you need is a taste you see what you want believe what you want and believe it or not you are always on the hunt for pain, for pleasure for love or hate you can run through the flowers or just sit back and sedate everyone is there everyone you know you can just stand and watch or get up and go down the rabbit hole is a mysterious place to get there all you must do is open your front door and be prepared to travel through time and space

Down the rabbit hole
People ask if i am a ****** I say yes, i am waiting for marriage I hear "good for you" or "dude you gotta get laid" still, a part of me doesn't believe what i say Everyone has there Thorn? i mean who hasn't looked at **** but where does it stop I have Never had *** but i had a sick addiction Filled by this simple prescription Every night i ****** that girl on the little screen that taught me she was merely a possesion I Just typed in those 3 letters and it became an obsession A black hole Ripping apart time and space Not even light would escape And the only thing that mattered Was me Me, and that thing on the screen who nobody wanted to be An object Like a silly little toy For those ****** up little boys Who after batting you around And shoving you in the ground Just cram you back in that chest at the end of there bed Like a ratty stuffed bear No Love, No soft touch, no sweet embrace I didn't even have to care Why would I? How could I? You were just a wave of photons collapsing in my eye to come and go as i pleased projected from that ***** little screen You were just a ***** to me and not anything more. In a place where i was supposed to have the deepest most intense connection I would replicate with meaningless, emotionless self satisfaction i would sow seeds of my own destruction every time i opened that link where i was made to feel love and joy, i would only sink becoming tangled in emptiness, i was lost, i was dying like a bird drowning in a sea of stone where no one would think to find me No light would be shed on this pathetic part of my life A life of darkness in that room where my face glows and my pupils dilate My fate slips from sight as i separate Body from soul I see myself Mindlessly staring at that dark light It was a drug, My sick Addiction I wasn't even trying to Fight It consumed my Thoughts, took me from above dissolving my capability to love I tried to run I didn't think That without His hand I will always sink Back into that creaky chair Where this beautiful creation of God, this person, this human being Just becomes one of my daily rituals, self fulfilled She becomes just a thing In short, if i gave an honest answer, i am not a ******
