cs wondering
upon the stars,
she wished for her soul to be saved;
upon the clouds,
she prayed for her tears to contain;
upon the Sun,
she begged for her heart to beat again;
upon the moon,
she pleaded for her smiles to return;

every night she did the same
but all that's heard are echoes of silence
till today she cries for her prayers to come true

but who would fulfill the wishes of
a sinful living dead;
condemned to eternal sufferings
& the painful company
of vicious voices living inside a broken mind?

(c.s wondering)
I've lost myself
in myself.

Astounding
Some people lie and some people steal
All in the hopes that their imaginations will become real

I don't see how
Worrying can make you
Tired.

But it does.

It makes me exhausted, it makes me an insomniac,
It makes me think crazy, it makes me worry more than I already was.
It makes me think every one has something happening to them
Right now
At this very moment.

Something is
Wrong.

But I'm tired. I really am.
I need my sleep.
But my mind is fighting,
Telling me over and over and over again that
I need to check one last time
Whether someone is okay
Whether someone is alive
Whether someone is someone is...

**** it, there's the mental block.
It happens.
Usually.
I think.
I don't know.

But what I do know is that
It makes me unusual,
It makes me sick,
It makes me not normal.

It makes people stare,
It makes people scared,
It makes people laugh and laugh and laugh
While they call me names and mock me.

They tell me I'm crazy,
Mentally *******, a
"Psychopathic pill popper".

I know that I am.
And I'm trying to stop.
But it's hard.

And I'm tired.

An entire sequence of fantasy,
played out in the course of four hours.
Like all good dreams,
an abrupt awakening,
rude and cold,
gasping for breath,
attempts to make sense of what is essentially nothing
but means so much more

Video montages,
played over and over in the mind.
Tired, and overplayed,
still powerful and overwhelming  
something out of a fairytale:
the way the light plays off his face,
the evening sun shining on the branches,
grass swaying to make way of a ball,
nervous giggles accompanying nervous cries of birds,
anticipating the moment we may beautifully collide-
reality surrounded by a haven of immortality and happiness of the purest type

Unforgettable.

Problematically so.

It's a sleepless night
and I'm drowning
in my reverie.
I'm missing you
and craving you
next to me.

I'm sorry I upset you
with those things I said
about needing someone
(anyone)
with me in bed.

I forgot
you don't think
the same way I do
Love and ***
mean the same thing to you.

You know that
I love you
and you're the only face
I ever want to
wake up to.

But *** is just ***,
a **** and a ****
I know that you hate this
but I need to be blunt.

I guess we just
don't see eye to eye
and I have no desire
to ever bid you goodbye

So once again,
while you're away

I guess I'll just use my hand.

Or the too-slender
neck
of this bottle of wine.
Maybe I can get off
alone
this time.
You are my gravity in these weightless times
The lightest touch of breath
Expelled from your lungs
Turns my heart into a quivering mess
Without you I would surely float away with the wind
Becoming as scattered as the burning maples leaves

What a ghastly ordeal of tangles
This love affair of mine

I am FREE

I am free
without a trace or a mark.
I've boxed up everything
to leave in the dark.

I am free
to grow in the light.
Nothing holds me back now-
I can fight any fight.

I am free
from you stopping me.
I will take on the world
to be all I can be.

I am free
to do what I want.
Although free in my life,
there's still dreams you can haunt.
