I was driving home last eve
She said,"Ma! Look! Tee hee! They
love
each other!"
To the left of the single lane,
in the tall golden hay,
sat a couple
She sat with her back to him,
between his legs
He, held her in his arms
as the sun sliced the sky
I stopped,
right on the road
Honey suckle blowing in the late breeze
I watched them,
We watched them
for just a bit
They loved each other

And all I wanted
was to be the honeysuckle
Oh wow! The daily! Thank you! I love you all<3<3

I've lost all sense of concentration
I'll never reach my destination
How can so much devastation
Be caused by such a beautiful creation
So here it is, here is the situation

I'm the one everyone's supposed to rely on

I'm supposed to be bullet proof

But there are so many wounds

From all these penetrated blades

And I'm losing myself 

They call me mental case

I'm supposed to be the one who's brave

But I need someone here, I need you to stay

Because I've started to lose my way

I don't wanna fall, I wanna be okay

But these antibiotics just won't kick in

So won't you take my hand?

I've never wanted to be the trend

Right now I just need a friend

That can really understand 

All that I am

And give me all that they can

Before I crash from going too fast round the bend 

Reckless is an understatement 

Compared to where I'm at now

And the only one who can save me is too far away 

Maybe she's the reason 

My mind is playing these games

And all this thinking is hurting my brain

Ever since we met

Ever since she left

I've never been the same 

Isn't it a shame

I'm never gonna be the same

Isn't it a shame

That you are the one to blame.

S l e e p

 It seems like an easy thing to do, a natural thing that the body must do yet I lie awake and ask myself why my brain won't turn off and sleep.

A million wires lie unplugged, tangled around like a ball of yarn, twisting around every inch of my brain driving me insane.

Phrases repeating inside my head like a broken record- 'did I turn this off? yes.' 'did I shut this? yes.' 'did I do this? yes' 'did I remember this? yes'

I stare at the light switch and question whether I've turned it off when I know I just did six times before.

I stare at the fans and the stove and the door and the windows and check if they're off or shut even though I've checked it too much.

My brain rings and rings like a phone that just won't stop, some days I'm so tempted to just make it stop.

After dark, we come out to play
into the park for some fun and games
beneath the shining night sky
we'll lay on the grass
talking to friends about our lives
the memories that we all shared
and about the times we really cared

After hours is when the party begins
will start by drinking
underneath these lit up buildings
until we start dancing in the moonlight
come over here and we'll slow dance
in this modern romance
to the songs that play on the car radio
and when our eyes meet, I'm gonna kiss you

Come one, come all, to this lovers affair
where we'll all be kissing in the night atmosphere
I'll hold your hand until the night ends
Lover this is our chance
We are all alone now
We can start making out
Into the dark of the night
I'll rip off your dress
and we can make love
start out slow, until it gets rough
The body heat will keep us warm
do you feel my heart beating next to yours
underneath the starry sky will make love
I'll be with you until the sun comes up

After hours is when the party begins
will start by drinking
underneath these lit up buildings
until we start dancing in the moonlight
come over here and we'll slow dance
in this modern romance
to the songs that play on the car radio
and when our eyes meet, I'm gonna kiss you

There was a girl standing by the fountain
Thought to myself I'd want to kiss this girl
When I walked over she smiled and slurred
come back to my apartment, it's after hours
We could do so much like kiss and hug
she starts rubbin'
I stroke her hair
rest my hands on the back of her neck
kiss her until we fall onto the bed
She's taking off my shirt  and jeans
I'm slowly undoing her dress
you can already guess the rest
We'll get together and have ***

After hours is when the party begins
will start by drinking
underneath these lit up buildings
until we start dancing in the moonlight
come over here and we'll slow dance
in this modern romance
to the songs that play on the car radio
and when our eyes meet, I'm gonna kiss you

being forever
your pain's forbearer,
you're not

listen however
learn to be clever,
you got

be your own lover
forget the others,
be haught
Haught: adj. c.1400, haute, "high in one's own estimation" from Old French haut (11c.) "main, principal; proud, noble, dignified; eminent; loud; grand".
Nothing wrong with celebrating yourself.
