Austine
whenever our eyes meet
there are sparks that make me believe
we can go anywhere, we can go far
we can soar high and create our own star

there’s nothing i wouldn’t give
to have you close to me and relive
all the days of euphoria and paradise
the life with nothing but your spice

with every single thing i’ve done wrong,
you’re the only one that makes everything right
maybe it’s time to say so long
maybe it’s time to end the fight
I'll give up forever to have today with you.
Life's not an about
It is that
Life's a "what"
The places where you live and die

We only sing for the good ones
Sometimes for the bad plans
But we forget about the grey times
Places in between the lines

The moment when the poles unite
The window where the worlds collide
A place where you run and hide
The starting point, the initial pride

No celebrations left to grind
No grievances either put to high
A resting land to ease your mind
No expectations or thoughts rewined

Learn to care for the one behind
You may fall on your own back
Run through places but leave a track
Come on back, enjoy the sight

You burn yourself with glory now
But be polite and don't pollute
We'll trust, no need to take a vow
Go fly but bring your parachute
When you realize your life long best friend whose home you live in is fine walking out the door and never seeing you again.

When all your ideas are beautiful orchids, and those you reveal them to are dogs looking for relief.

When I look to you for something you don't know how to give.

When I wait three extremely long days for you to keep your promise.

When I still cry, and feel crushed, and wish I didn't exist here even though I am happy.

When I am a million things to a few people who do nothing for me.

When I don't see any of my family for months...and they make no attempts.

When I am tempted to let the months creep into years.

When I realize my boss is an idiot and possible ******.

When I trade them substance for substance calling them friend, but our relationships lack substance.

When everyone just wants what is in it for them, and I just want to give it to them to feel their happiness.

When I feel so alone I could explode.

When I doubt that I am okay.

My silhouette; it's black.
Walking into the hands
of what I know is wrong.
Something that once brought forth
the lack
of needs to keep me strong.

it's wrong; my silhouette,
She decides to dive into a pool
filled to the brim of what I long
for in these years that have schooling,
fooling my conscience mind.

The door was wide open.
"All it will cost is a small token."
Three words
that I must not ever speak.
"I'm so broken."

At the same time,
we want you to appear weak.
We want your physique.
We own you.
Strong; mentally.
So proceed and do
things intentionally.
Make others feel shame.
Not to mention we will help you numb and feel pain.

We will pull you close
until you have no choice
but to be lured
in by your own self.
Each wake you think,
"Maybe this day I'll be cured."

In constant battles with the help,
we make it easier to settle
for the diseased mind,
then to cope
with an underlying past  from behind.

We are the brick wall
guarding the suppressed.
These feelings,
they need not ever be expressed.

We will teach you control.
Feel guilty.
We will guide your soul.
You will be under constant attack.
My silhouette; she is black.
You are beautiful

the way you support the world under your feet

the atoms of the universe run through your veins

you are a cosmic force

swallowing all the minds you come in contact with

I was swallowed long ago

and now i comfortably reside in your lovely eyes

We measure the spaces
between    us
by    our     goodbyes
and how I wish you

could hold me as I
collapse into my bed and
cry to sleep

a touch of your hand
a kiss on my lips
a loving embrace

more than ever

every night, I wish we could close our
eyes together

right here with your arms around me
rising bodies
rain

on those window panes, your arm
over my body

night after night
never leave me again
never say goodbye

I love you.
