I dreamt you were a girl
A beautiful girl
That girl was you

Trying to hide
Embarrassed, fearful, cautious
But that is also you

It is also me
You revealed yourself
And I saw me

I saw parts
Of all mankind
I saw humanity

That girl in you
Is everyone reflected
In beauty and vulnerability

Through this and therefore
We are lovingly connected
Even more
The smoke rises
Inside this cage of glass
Is it snow or paper
You will never know

Your breath fogs up the glass as you stare out
As you stare at me

I can't see you
Tilting my head I smile
How pretty it is
My thoughts

I shake the globe
Watching it snow down
As I cry

Are you crying?
We can cry together
As the snow falls

You're just a figure of my imagination
Yet I cry
As I stare through the glass
Snow globes

That's what they're called
My thoughts
As my breath fogs up the glass
I stare outside
As we watch the snow fall

The stars they watch us pass into the night
They ask how we could have a love more bright?
my heart broke and spilled on the highway
completely
out

i dont have any interactions with ppl that are not customer service interactions
im lonely.     feels like my brain is just logged off.
with an axe i start to work throoo my leg
my brains just off
1 million dollar winner
oh my brains just
off
   wont go on
i hit a pothole, pop my tire and
lose control
911 how are you today im amazing cuz I love life
im laying in the woods and i can't fall in love
with a  hammer i work at my head
til its far gone

Through a colorful gate, I step.
Gracefully prancing
in light of day.

Feeling,
the power of moment.
Feeling,
heart play a sacred song.

The wind guides,
as I plant my dreams.
Watering with breath.
Tending to them rain or shine.

I glide in rhythmic pleasures
surrendering to jump over rocks
until,
seedlings are ready
for harvest.

And with gratitude I reap,
blossoming fruits of my efforts.
Empowered by scent.
Invigorated by beauty.
Dancing with all my aspirations.

If home is where the heart is
And you find yourself on the streets
I’d be glad to break my heart in half
So that you could have a piece

I’ll give you my whole guest room
It’s down the hall from my arteries
I’ll give you food and oxygen
Even take a house key if you need

I hope that you enjoy your stay
And accept my offerings
I don’t care when or where you go
Just so long as you don’t leave

My mind is a repulsive place
You might be better off on the street
Than swimming through my synapses
And believing what you see

The world outside my beating heart
Is more dangerous than you think
So please leave good enough alone
And promise not to leave

Finding out the truth about
Who I claim to be
Could end up being worse for you
Than it ever was for me

Nevertheless I’d dare to love
You are so dear to me
But no matter what you’d do or say
I would never set you free

My blood type is B negative
And no matter what I do
I’ll never be an optimist
Or anything like you

I’m offering you a part of me
So now you have to make
A choice to enter my home and take my heart
Or choose to let it break

So if I give you this bit of myself
I’ll need you to promise me
Not to stray too far from home
Or ever try to leave
I'm not quite sure what I was going through at the time that I wrote this one, but I had just received a book full of idioms and cliches. It was the perfect writing prompt for me. I'd take a cliche and turn it around like a puzzle piece until the fire of a deeper meaning was ignited in my mind. Anyway, this was me writing about how sometimes we hurt the ones we love most by keeping secrets. My mind is a place I often consider forbidden grounds due to the nature of the thoughts therein. Unfortunately, I often forget that when I follow my heart blindly, I lose sight of what's really important. So, yeah. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you shouldn't follow your heart without consulting the truth first. In my case- my heart is deceitful above all else and blindly following it will get me nowhere good really quickly.
Side note- B-Negative is actually a real blood type! Who knew?

eyes fixate on you
and everything else disappears
(but you and a happiness which wrapped so warmly around my heart)

my gaze which has traveled around the world, which never stays in place,
in those moments were only for you—
you are not just some photographs taken in a rush
of which i have spent time viewing on screens,
you are not a holy icon placed so far up
on stages which someone like me could not possibly dream of reaching
you are not a fabled prince who can only be found in stories—
you are just a boy in love with songs
who speaks in rhythm and rhyme,
you are just a boy to whom movements come so naturally
especially when you are thriving,
you are just a boy with a heart big enough
to be split into thirteen halves,
you are just a boy with a smile so warm
and eyes which speak volumes of words you do not say,
you are just a boy with a soul so grand
that the world found you and just *had
to share you
(and i am glad you found me.)

with this i know my heart is safe in your hands,
and with this, i’ll keep loving you for as long as i can.
simply, it is what it is: the feelings of a fan who saw her love for the first time. i love you, verny!!!
It's been covered in dirt
Cracked and torn apart
But I promise there's a value
I can make it worth it for you
Just wait it out
Let me polish it once more
Scrape away the grime
Chip away the lingering salt
And that bit of blood that dried
To present to you
A brand new, used up, beaten but beating heart
