Every time it’s much like the same
Closing chapter washes these thoughts away

Rest is to settle the pain inside
But fact-less fears...feel like death inside

Sleep comes
but in no sweet fashion
Toss and turn
a ritual passes

Slumber brings the same old crisis
Will I lose you once again?
Time keeps passing  

In my dreams the world doesn’t stop moving
Until I think of you and realize
You are no longer with me  

Waking up and feeling you here
Love and patience keeps you near
Subconscious Bedtime

May either be the reason of heavenly delight or terrifying ache
Will you take the risk?

I'm so quick to connect the dots,
that I almost don't think twice anymore.
So all this synchronicity between us
is impossible to ignore. Yet I will myself
to try, and then try again some more.
For where a door was once closed,
it seems is closed no more.
But I have taken a vow so there my loyalty lies.
But I cannot ignore the waves of complete peace
I get from looking in your eyes.
And I know it is too soon,
again this romantic reprise.
But I have to keep feeling this way,
every second...all the time.
It is a lovely new feeling.

I feel a pull lately
A pull on my heart strings
Tug tug tug
Beckoning me to question all that I have
All that I don't
All that feels right
And all that is wrong  
I want to answer
But I'm scared

I want to know this more
But I dont go forward
I want to see if this is mutual  
But I shouldn't feel like this

So I wait
Wait and wait and wait
Time will tell
Such is life ... Right?
Do strange feelings pass as the time does?

The storms of Jupiter cloud his mind
The thoughts of her he cannot find
The words were once his medication
But now his writing's on vacation

When our spaceship crashed, I thought we'd live
But this planet has nothing left to give
So we're left here breathless, faces blue
Killing ourselves with no future in view


The stars thaw us out just to steal our smiles
Then we stomp across their faces like tiles
Even when toothless, and wearing a frown
Somehow you're still cute and I'm glad you're around

*If only the sun would take the time to melt us
We could be sure the whole world felt us
As we oozed and became one
And just let our fluid run

Today I learned I would make a B and not an A
In that class I missed where we both stayed
Inside my bed and slept too late
Where I didn't care and you felt great
Today I thought I will regret that grade, but not you and the love we made
Today I hoped that you would come back, and that this all was a mistake
Lessons learned, let's get back to great.
Today I cried... Another day passes, you still haven't.
I love you. You will probably never read this, but it's a small hope and a huge release

Destroy the monsters
that call your mind home
no longer allow them
shelter within your bones
let yourself free
from the demons inside
you'll never find happiness
or the light otherwise
Listen to yourself, Steff!
