On days such as this
of reminiscent times viewed on rewind
The slowing down of details missed gives sight to the blind
Wider eyes letting in ethereal beauty to a much grander design
to where divinity is intricately knit deep within the fabric of life

Hello, Cupid,
what are your plans for me this year?
I've been lucky for a while now,
but today might not be the same
This guy that I've been seeing,
well, we're not quite really dating?
And he told me last night
that he's not very lovey right now?
Sooooo
I guess today is a single girl's day...
But, hey!
There's still plenty of time
for a V-Day surprise:
roses at the door and Mylar balloons galore
A box of chocolate hearts and
A kiss for the Miss?
There's still an entire day,
so, Cupid, don't waste it away,
I really do love Valentine's Day.

One day my skin will be wrinkled
my teeth will fall out
my memories will fade
and one day, my heart will stop
my body will rot
and I'll just be another person time forgot.

But while I continue to age
I'll make friends
I'll have children
I'll leave a mark on this world
so although I have gone
part of me will continue to live on

I see the fish
fly into coral
the bright blue sea life
curling and growing
I see my fish
fly to the right
hiding in seaweed
out of my sight
I see a fish
swim into the cave
all alone
I hold tight to my fish
knowing what comes
I hear a great swoosh
and then there’s no more
what once was a person
a fish for someone
what once was a friend
is now a life, stolen.

I see the clouds move
across the sky
but focus on the earth
are the clouds moving
or is it just us
I stand, feet rooted
in the soil
I spread my arms
soaking up the sun
knowing the familiar pain
to be a lesser compared to some
I feel the burn set in
my skin turns to bark
my feet don’t move
stretching, growing
my eyes remain
blue and green
staring to the clouds
up high above
a cat climbs up
its claws like needles
tearing at my newly formed bark
it sits
it smiles
and we both drift away.

I wear my heart on my sleeve but I have no shirt just thoughts of healing.
It is red and hurts so much in pain this heart I speak of on my sleeve.
Love hurts it always has and lately it can also **** you and me.
*** is a sentence a death sentence *** is a threat to your short life.
*** makes your toes curl with the right girl *** can be something that is nice.
Show my pain and people panic show kindness they spite my existence.
Love is pain and *** is pleasure *** is love when love is together.
It is a painful pleasure this love/*** thing a lot like everything.
Pleasurable pain that lasts forever whatever forever is.
This heart on my sleeve it burns like fire satisfy my desire.
Sometimes *** is love to die for forever always suicidal.
Burn this paper heart of mine in fire cry inferno desire.
And from its ashes it will learn to begin anew and love again.
Love again and begin anew these paper hearts of fire of mine.
