And in your eyes, you breathe into me a new dream,
I'd give my soul to the loons and my hands to the lions
for that moment where our eyes meet.

every word i read gives me hope.
hope for someone I can be,
hope for what goes on out there,
and what sedatives will soothe the monster in me.

tell me someone
what happens when I just give in to the tentacles reaching for me
do I drown

rosemary and romeo begin with a letter

when eurydice fell
down into hell
orpheus wept
stars never slept
for his painful cries
were as pretty as lullabies
but agony pined
in his heartbroken mind.
and when he got a chance
he took one glance
and eurydice fell
back into hell.

echo loved you so much
but all you left her was the whisper of other's words,
the silent swan and mockingbird
