Feeling like I was never understood
But, when I take a step back it all looks so good
Not talking about you, baby, I promise
Just feeling like someones got me on this train headed in one direction,
No exceptions
Trying to wrap the theory around my head that you would choose me instead.
So crazy, all the things you do for me.
I take a step back so I can finally see.
Daydreaming about your face,
But, then again, my feeling of understanding has been misplaced
And I'm looking over my shoulder trying to figure if, myself, I had disgraced.
Eyes like they've been maced,
Minds' been laced with the toxic fear of the past,
Don't worry
These feeling never last.
They just hide so deep.
So to removal is almost impossible.
I get lost, ya' know?

Just go with my flow.
I'm so **** tired of trying to read into the emotions
Krakens in my oceans have me exposing things I shouldn't be exposing
Getting down to the beats in my head;
They'll keep me dancing until I'm dead.
Or so It's been said

Back to business
I must confess I find nothing more intoxicating than this.
"Grooooooove with me." ;)

Today has been the longest day.
Funny, because nothing was done.
I think of all the things in life I've thrown away.
And I'm so happy you didn't let yourself be one.

The big picture is so hard to frame.
Must be it's size, I guess.
Today has been the longest day.
Maybe because I'm a mess.

Cigarettes on my breath,
And a shiver in my sigh.
Thought I would revel in my freedom from all that I shrugged off my shoulders,
But, that was a lie.

So, by and by I wait here.
By and by
Today was the longest day.
Someone help me understand why.

I am awakened and full of love.
He loves me whole-heartedly and he has my trust.
I thank God for setting our love free.
Together we live abundantly.

Steam rolled off the Earth's lush grass as the morning dew and the sky collided.
I walked barefoot through the field of blossoming trees, delighted.
Wet petals stuck to my feet and the chirping birds sang my hearts song to the breeze.
I made eye contact with you and smiled as the breeze knocked petals from the trees..
So much more delicate and feminine than falling leaves.

We take a step toward each other, suspicious and a little scared.
We take another, then stop; getting better prepared.
The air is full of shimmering specks,
The breeze, the sound of a Harp's strum.
My heart starts racing and my mind is suddenly struck dumb.

We take another step, and we are toe to toe.
You attach your hand to mine, a rush of euphoria washes over me and I know you'll never let it go.
We bring our lips together and the moment that they met,
Something happened that I'll never forget.

A spark ignited between us and engulf us into flames,
Our bodies turn to ashes and the wind swirls them 'round,
mixing them with petals into a neat pile on the ground.
Like a Phoenix, we rose again, in perfect health.
We are stronger, smarter, happier versions of ourselves.

I gaze in your eyes while my hand rest gently on your cheek,
You gaze right back and then, after a few moments, you ask me what it is that I think.
I feel you were made out of clay, just for me

I'm so in love with you.
Your sandy-brown hair,
The way your top lip quivers every time you think of something you want to say but don't,
The way you love me even when I think you wont.

I love the way you glow when we venture in nature,
That childish grin and deep laugh that you rarely do because you tricked yourself into thinking that it wasn't everything I ever hoped it would be,
The way I feel with you,
The way you feel next to me.

You filled up my heart,
It's over flowing with love and happiness
You've helped me to fulfill my heart"s wildest dream.
I couldn't of asked for more than this.
You brought me back to life,
I wouldn't have been able to crawl out of the darkness on my own.
You are my one true love.
Your heart is my home.

When you wake, my love, think of my lips;
how the corners quiver ever so slightly right before I flash a great big smile. Let your hand rest on the pillow where the curves of my face would usually reside and imagine I'm there;
if just for awhile.
Let the breeze that kisses your cheeks, fresh with the scent of morning dew, carry the words that echo with every beat of my heart to yours,
so that you will wake every morning knowing that I love you.

I know I'm not the person you want me to be.
I don't think that anyone would want me for more than a day or two.
At least, not after they've gotten to know me and learned all the stupid **** I've put myself through.

I just want to be an author.
I want to stop chasing the high.
I wanna be able to truly look into myself and for once not feel the urge to cry.

Sometimes, I feel like there are thousands of daggers pointing straight toward my heart and everyday a different dagger of the same sorrow moves itself a little closer.

Almost 19 years I've been on this planet, and I still don't feel at home.
I've never been in love or had the idea that I was in love.
But the loving of many men I have known.

Alone.

I never go to sleep alone, but I always seem to wake up that way.
Alive when I sleep and dead during the day.

So many emotions swirling inside that I don't even know what to say.

If I let you in, it would be to both our despair.
Because once I knocked down the walls and showed you the ruins inside,
You wouldn't want to stay there.
