Just one bite.
I won't waste it.
Just one taste,
I won't fight it.

Just me here,
A prize for a king.
Have no fear,
I'll fit like a ring.

I want you
Not to sound crass.
Or lack class,
But treat me ceremoniously,
Like Mass.

I can make a half whole,
Missing puzzle piece for your soul.
To see the diamonds rise from coal.
Rising right out from depressions hold.

Respire,
I'm made of Fire.
From the soul
To the flesh.

Then In turn the soil,
Any who breath leave -
A timer, we're set to spoil.
So I won't walk with hesitation.

I'll live life without reservation,
Follow the brick road I chose.
My life's mine not a Gamble
Neither a game i can't lose.

If I chose right
Turn to what's good,
Turn to the light
I won't bruise.

But past hurt
And present optimism fuse.
The futures bright
But only if fate and ourselves
Choose right.

Burn and burn brighter
Learn and become a fighter.

Fire,
Life's Fury fueled
From respiration.
Live and don't burn out
Before expiration.
"Fire in Your Breath"
Couldn't choose a title...

As I Sit beside this lonely tree
I count my blessings one, two, three
Looking up to into the branches
I Close my eyes and think about my chances
For a moment a glimmer of light
Perhaps I can have what I want in sight
Dark clouds loom in the background beginning to spiral around
Rain begins to fall
But the tree still stands tall
What it would be like to be this tree
To stand there so strong and free

All the fuel you poured on me,
I wouldn't  burn,
In just the same way you will not learn.

You didn't just take me,
You tamed me.
A lion like fire
You chiselled me to size.

I'm left prim,
but still no ones prize
And I despise how
My eyes turned from gold
To green.

How I went from a sight
To being unseen.
How you made me cold,
Feel deranged and act mean.
How I dimmed before a light I thought was brighter.

Now on a path much lighter,
How thought and remembrances
Make my heart that much tighter.
But in life to live one must be a fighter.

I can burn
Like the sun,
Learn the universe
And become one.

I can move beyond
All that's bound me,
I can be fond
Someone else found me.

You can't see the light.
The candle in the dark,
Is lost to you.

No amount of love
Can conquer you.
I'm lost to you.

You lost yourself
And claw at my health.
I needed to regain a
Sense of self.

I needed to count
The love as true wealth.
And disregard all else.

Because without Family
Love or even yourself,
You are left with nothing else.

I count my blessings,
And with that
All else lessens.

Through trials and tests
This world is wrought
With lessons.
Sometimes you need time for you.

Alone with my thoughts, they come in waves of emotions
Emptiness has taken over me, I'm drowning in its ocean
What it would feel like to be loved
Oh so long I have waited for your touch
Is it my figure or my soul too black
Is it a personality that I lack?
What is about me that is so unloveable
Since when did I become so disposable?
Swimming In this sea of loneliness no one can see my tears, no one knows my fears
For the girl who was never spoken to did not speak
She didn't whimper, nor did she sleep
I walk through this life with a heavy head on my shoulders
Too many questions gone unanswered
Filled with pain and sorrow
I dread getting up tomorrow
If I would be so lucky to sleep forever,
Would anyone notice my non existence endeavour?

Only for a moment did I think I could feel again
Love & light pouring out of me like a fountain
First time experiences
Long nights so lustful and mysterious
Each day my heart yearning for you
Growing more curious

But the darkness that swims around inside of me
Is too strong for anyone to come too close to me
Before you even scratch the surface
That darkness comes out as a full blown circus
A freak show of emotions
From a heart so blackened and broken
So now I look into your eyes and ask you this
What do you do when all that you've got is a box of broken pieces?
