The flame had died from bright to dim,
A future changed from bright to grim.
Years spent through think and, thin.
Strong, yet weak, with broken feet,
A monstrous 5 foot is she.
Magically in majesty, she entrances me.
Of all the works of art, I've ever seen,
No one could ever, enlighten me like she.
Like motionless water, needing a splash,
Or a house of cards waiting for, collapse.

A poem, that was put into lyrics for a song with my brother, with instrumentation written by him.

i am what you need
let's get drunk off of each other
we have nothing else

let's go far away
take me on an adventure
i will follow you

kiss me while i sleep
i am sick of being alone
i'd love to love you

Metanoia
the full moon taunts me from above
like a frightened cop's flashlight
blinding, ready to pounce
"alone again, are you?" the moon scoffs
"yes," I reply
"by choice?"
"I'm a bit worn down, moon, to tell you the truth. I don't know if I'm capable of going out and pretending to be something I'm not anymore. I'd rather be by myself, honestly"
the moon pauses
and pauses some more
before it speaks
"then you shall become like me. viewed from another world, trapped in plain sight. although some find you beautiful, they'll never be able to touch you, to know you. I was once like you before I ended up here. it gets cold. enjoy being in the light of others. you don't need to be anything you're not. I sometimes wish I was the sun but there are things we can't become"

~I remember when it was us.
Time flew,
Four hours,
Spent with you.
Happy feelings,
Fluttering by.
I met such a
Wonderful amazing guy.
Laughter of mine,
When I saw you post.
You had a sense of humor,
You were the star that
I had been wishing for.
Yes, I remember those days.
I do not want to go back, though,
For a million different ways. ~
And it's not because I don't love you. It's not because you were a waste of my time. I just fell for anyone, and I should've thought more carefully before picking the first tom I see. I'm sorry for being a player. You really are an awesome amazing person in hundreds of different ways. That you can stay strong through all you have been through is one of them. You will remain special to me, even if you don't think it. The reason I talk to you is because I care. You will never truly leave my heart. See? I told you I was the pigeon.
I am thankful you found a peacock to make you happy♥
I fell for a different peacock this time.
Trust me, life will get better in some way. I hope it does. And know you are just so very special, as in valuable to the world in which we know. Harness your strength, you have come a long way, and the road beyond won't be much easier.

music

pointe shoes
walking, just walking
sketching

s­unrise
teaching
stories told
love, just love
an empty beach
a starry sky
a forest that's awake
a city that never sleeps
people who get it
people who get something else
hockey games
air hockey tournaments in his basement
driving, just driving
making people smile
cuddling
making people laugh
the sound of a deaf person laughing so fully
the moon
the sun
the wind
the rain
the snow
the noise
the nothing

I am really quite happy a lot,
but unfortunately my depression is rather persistent.

Sometimes,
I think about how
soft
my hair is
and about how relatively
small
my waist is,
and I'm okay
with myself...
... for about three minutes.
Then I'm back to 'normal.'
loving you was like

seeing how much
rain
could pile up on
my windshield
before everything
was blurred

before i knew
i had to
wipe it all away
Number one
Smelled of Marc Jacob's cologne from Kohls
And he tasted like the cigarettes he never smoked.

Number two
Smelled of alcohol,
Tasted like alcohol.
**** Everything and Run.

Number three
Smelled like home
And tasted like fleeing dreams.

I'll take
Contestant number three.
**** Everything
And Run with me.
