Your smile lights my world
Sets it all ablaze
Crooked yet perfect
In every way
When it dances across your face
I smile too
Because how could i not when
The dimple on your left cheek
The creases under your eyes
The light in your irises
Hits your face like a tidal wave of beauty
Your smile isnt some beauty-pageant smile
Not reahearsed
Practiced
Plastic
Cold
Its a smile like sunrays
Warm
Happy
inviting
Playful
Beautiful

Your smile thawed a frozen heart
Your words ignited a burnt out passion
Your kindness fixed a broken mind
Your love saved my life

Though you may not know it yet

After so many months of loneliness
Dark
Despairing
Frozenness
Im learning to live again
Love again
Laugh again

Since i left
It feels like an empty hole in my chest
A dull ache echoing in my bones
Fists sqeezing my fragile heart
Im lost, lonely
Wandering through a maze of pain
Lost in a sea of bewilderment
Constantly striving for a breath of air

Help

Sometimes i wonder whats out in the dark
Who makes the rustling noise in my closet
The creaking under my bed
The banging around on the stairs

If i could see whatever it was
Would i regret it when night came again
Knowing what it was
Walking up to my bed
Its kinda creepy, sorry

Lungs screaming
Heart beating
The water pulls me down
Screaming is useless
There is nobody to hear me but the fish
Stomach twisting
Chest heaving
I can feel my life slipping
Fighting it is futile
There is no way i can survive this
I close my eyes
Sinking deeper
Deeper
Deeper
Away
Fading
Then gone

Each scar has a story waiting to be heard
Each story has a moral wanting to be learned
