Chicago, IL, United State Poems help, take what you need out of mine, not only what I intended.
Our love was like that blanket fort, your mom told you to take it down but we liked it so it stayed up. Later you wanted another in the fort that was built for two and it came crashing down on top of us. I decided to let it be and accept it's failure. We tried to live with out it. The blankets were still out and tempted us with every look, you finally asked me to rebuild with you. After hesitation, I saw it brought you joy and that's all I wanted. We had a tough time getting it to stay up on its own but once we did it wasn't bad, just not the same. The inside was smaller and was much more cramped. We realized how much it had actually changed though outside it looked roughly the same, and no matter what we did we couldn't get it back. The first great fort was gone and it was time to take this one down, for it caused us too much frustration and too many tears. Our blanket fort was taken down and it seemed like all that work was for nothing. Yet now we can build something more permanent and learn from our mistakes. Hopefully to each find that person who's blankets keep us warm. w.j.w.k

Blanket Fort (Not a Poem)
Please do not say that, lie to me. You've turned into a liar, see? If this isn’t working, why are we? The End is lurking, finally. w.j.w.k

Subconscious
I remember the End. The End was when she cried of guilt, with broken trust her tears built. It was the hardest thing to say She was so stubborn with her way But she didn't love me She just thought I had some miracle elixir, that I could magically fix her. Fix her insecurities Fix her doubt. That I could give her the amenities and teach her what life was all about. She made me believe it too! That I could eventually get through. Piece by piece I chipped away. Problem by problem I saved the day. The End was when I found out I couldn't mend you, and in all that time all I did was pretend too. I remember the End. w.j.w.k

The End
it's weird to be afraid of yourself, to be afraid of who you are i'm always trying to change myself, make myself that much better i'm always struggling to see, who I am or attempting to be i never seem to figure it out i always fear, I always doubt always regretting my regret blaming others for what I forget and that's not right that I'm so god ****** doubtful of my decisions was that the right thing to say did I do that the right way should I go or should I stay should I throw it all away these are the questions I'm afraid of the fact I ask these the fact I actually answer these with some dumb decision that I'm not really sure of unless it's against me separating I from we making myself a victim of imagination created a home full of confrontation and the lies I told were the worst all those bubbles I had to burst and there is still so much left i wish I just got up and left and that's my fear day by day asking me to throw it all away w.j.w.k

The Universe's Ettique
The bridge was there, right in front of me. I started across, with out a thought. Not realizing my fate, as it changed with every step. The chasm below was vast and dark, the bottom never in sight. I stood in the middle of that ****** bridge, and saw my foot steps in the snow. I felt alone as I had ever been, though I was doing this for her. The wooden planks creaked, with obvious warning of my mistake. I was not listening, I continued on my way. At the end of the bridge, the chasm spoke. Telling me I must go back, that I wasn’t ready for what I faced. She looked at me in reassurance, promising me I could. The chasm said I could never cross that bridge again. I stupidly chuckled and spoke my mind, though my words were not informed. She and I did not survive the challenge, and I was left alone. I made an attempt to go back, but all there was was empty space between two ridges. That’s when I learned of what the chasm spoke, telling me not to burn my bridges. w.j.w.k

The Bridge
When she was a child is when she found her love. She explored the stories, and they fit her like a glove. It was amazing, how they kept her so entranced. It was beautiful, how her imagination danced. But then came the characters that had no fatal flaw. Everywhere she looked, her dull reality she saw. Unhappy with this, she read more and more. She ignored those to close to her and it struck them to the core. She was too busy in her grave of books. Hiding herself away in her secret nooks. All there was were printed words, that flew around like cartoon birds. In the end she kept adding to her collection. Hoping one day, Society would reach their perfection. w.j.w.k

Too Many Books
Dolls are always your friends and never scream or shout. They are where you left them and never move about! Dolls can be fantastic, made of cloth or even plastic. They always have poise and never make too much noise! Dolls make a fine guest and understand when you need rest. They won’t laugh when you sing, Dolls say the right thing! Dolls are just so utterly great! But don’t you control their fate? w.j.w.k
