You are wind.
A confused cold front.
Rolling in, rolling out
Lost in the inbetween,
Lost in motion,
caught up in the trees like an old plastic bag.

Nothing feels like a home
And heaven's too far away
When one's heart is entangled
in an ugly past.

I know the world is panning too fast
for these tired eyes of yours.
Everything is spinning,
Your lips are quivering.
Is a stone cold pride
worth the broken soul?

Let it go.
Let it go

You know I loved you so.

The touch of your palms sends slithering snakes down my vertebrae,
Your eyes locked onto mine – I get so carried away…
Nerve endings are exploding,
Stress unloading…
And words escape your lips that can stop the clocks from ticking,
The earth from rotating,
My lustful heart from palpitating,
Like sweet music to my ears, to my brain,
Oh I'm going insane…
It's the urge I'd rather not contain,
Let my nails break the skin on your back,
Scratching up and down your spine,
No holding back
No time to rewind.
Cheeks are numb,
Toes curl under,
Check my vitals and prove to me that this is no dream,
Because I swear that this feels like thunder.
So hold me forever hostage in this storm,
As you shake and provoke the demons from within,
Burning, churning, and rattling inside my chest,
These entities do not sleep, they do not rest,
They won't cease unless released,
Unless they see the light of day.
And If I were to pry my ribcage open,
They'd catapult into the overarching sky,
Where the sun glows like a stained glass angel
Dangling from the sun god's very own fingertips.

Our cheeks blushed as we smiled,
Because we knew what was actually going on.
The past I had was a shredded mishap,
However Like an alcoholic, I was addicted,
This heartache, its still in me.
The memories, they're still in me
So take me down to blue sandy beaches,
Make me forget what last season entailed,
Because all I've ever had was a desert tundra.

In your little book of prayers you asked for something perfect.
A fairytale if you will, and though neither is probable,
fate and God put their hands together to work up a miracle,
leading you to a middle ground;

A gentle poet with an honest heart and subtle charm,
Just the way mother would like.
When he found you, you were already immersed into your novel,
But instinct urged you to lift your head up...
eyes met, a gaze was locked in place.
An earthquaking epiphany shook your insides,
Like a gear that had just been locked in its rightful place.
Color splashed in areas that were once gray.
You aren't much for love at first site,
However this was something deeper.

Like a cheap happy meal toy,
You were broken to begin with, vulnerable to affliction,
A heart overworn from lost love and regret,
You tug and pull at its frayed ends when you are bored,
Turning self mutilation into a unique form of art.
He noticed all of this.

He wished to know every detail that entailed your past,
hoping that someday when you're ready to let go,
He can take that pen in his hand
To rewrite it all out again
So that you may learn to forgive and forget.
Forgive and forget...
Forgive and forget...

You got me feeling erratic, ecstatic,
Completely enthusiastic.
And these bones aren't real.
****, I'm cold hard plastic.

Paper rhymes and paradigms,
Lost in the rift,
Someplace between space and time
Simply spiraling and falling,
This black hole is calling.

Drip drop,
Pitter patter,
Drinking tea and coffee with the mad ******* hatter.

Shoes for eyes,
Eyes for shoes,
Keep on chanting the lonely man's blues.

The city is on fire,
While monkeys play the lyre.

Werewolf maiden,
Your heart's so caved in
Oh, stay away from the full moon,
(She's a loon,)
One flew east,
One flew west,
One flew over the cuckoos' nest.

Enter the limbo:*
I am an open book.
My arms and legs are the sentences,
My beating heart is now the rhyme.
Page by page, word by word,
My story is slowly unraveling,
But never to be heard.
With tattered and torn pages
Insomnia has become my only friend.
And I haven't slept in days…

3 am and my head's still pounding, I've had this migraine for days…Temples throbbing, nerve endings exploding, like a rabid animal being sentenced to a barb wire cage with no food to eat and room to breathe. Thoughts are deadly. Fighting, bleeding, suffering in deep rooted pits of anxiety. My synapses are in full combat, but I'm a pacifist.

I can feel it now. The change, the shift. I feel it. The voices, drumming, I can hear it, the fire, it's burning, flesh rotting. I can smell it, Like it's all being cooked up in one big  rotten stew, except there is most definitely meat in it, and I'm a vegetarian.

I am a child of darkness sworn to her own demons that were locked up long ago in treasure chest deep inside her old bedroom closet, Although I swear to you I never wanted things to be this way. It just happened. But know this, I am still holy, still pure, my tears still fall as transparent across the curve of my cherub face. I never wished to be so naïve. It's just that my heart is in shambles, and I gravitate towards almost anything that promises healing. This is why I have so many scars. They run left and right in a funny pattern from the carelessness of others trampling their ***** feet all over the delicate terrain of my heart.

But I'm tired now
And my insides are in knots.

I can still feel it. The light, I see it. It's always been there and shining, always been calling, begging, reaching out for one swift touch to the tip of my finger, but I've been too afraid to answer. It's always been so warm and inviting calling my name. I can taste it…bitter spoilers. I'm almost there. I've just a few things left to do here. Just give me a moment.
