If you're going to break
if you're going to shatter
If you're going to change,
Don't go too far
Stay who you are.

Guilded

She poured the liquid gold
from one hand to the other.
Scalding and burning
But oh so beautiful.
*"We were all that remained."

I never understood her, but who could hope to?

Perspective

If she saw the world
through rose colored glasses,
I saw the world as a raindrop
falling from a storm cloud.

Not real

I call him a monster
when I write about him.
Because I can't imagine
a person would do what he did.
Make him a story, a monster,
Not a human, he can't be.
He couldn't understand the word no,
Nor the pleading and the tears.
He cannot be a person,
with a family, friends,
who listens to old rock music
and eats take out Chinese food on Saturdays.
He can't be a person,
I don't understand.

Scattered thoughts, sorry

Warm

Will you hide from the sun?
Or shall you bask in
Its golden rays and
Warming light.
The sun touches all,
Reaches all,
Sees all.
You cannot hide from the sun,
But you can try.

Fighter

You would have fought.
You would have fought
until the death, until the end.
Until the sun burned out;
And the world fell cold,
You would have fought
And I'm sorry I cannot be
as strong and fierce as you.

To my monster

Do you remember me?
Do you remember what you did?
Does it haunt you at night,
like it haunts me?
I fear that your sins,
your crimes,
haunt me more than you.
Do you feel remorse,
regret?
Or nothing at all?

It frightens me.
