You are the reason I fell in love with the light.

You are the reason I sought a way out of the darkness.

You are the reason I stayed.

♥Fall in love with life.
♥If you're thinking about ending it, DON'T do it.
♥There IS help!

We were in love, successful, and happy,
We had a graphic novel series and a hit CD.

We did everything together, I stood tall beside her,
Then some insecure scientist turned on their LARGE particle collider.

Right was down, and down was blue, and blue was east,
Now she's married to another man, and I got no teeth.
Ever imagine what alternate realities might be like?
What if the large particle collider activation in 2009 mixed all the realities into one big jumble?

You might have been second in line,

But you were never second place.


Someone once said to me that they felt like they were second place in my heart.
This couldn't be further from the truth.
There is no second place in my heart.
It's more like a club than a finish line.
You have VIP access.

You're much stronger than any antidepressant I've ever been prescribed.
Brought to you by Hope
Don't leave home without it.

If I had time, I wouldn't need much space.

I'm mostly happy. I hope, that's ok.

I can't do it, unless I did it already.

Once again, I couldn't pay my bills. I can only pay attention.

At least, I tried. I just don't remember, what.

Depression and anxiety aren't that much fun anymore, as they used to be.
So I'm just a bit sad, in no particular order.

You have a good day,
But don't make the best of it,
Just have a good day,
That's the best.

You're a very sophisticated person,
You organise your breakfasts to a tiniest detail,
I'm still looking for my coffee in a third cupboard,
We're  clearly meant for each other.

The sun is hot this summer
Like it was last summer
It's too hot to play indoors
Let's don trunks and sandals
For our journey to Turtle Rock,
It's not too far a walk.

Wild carrots grow along hot asphalt
We're chewing Queen Anne's lace
The journey offers time to talk
We talk and walk at our own pace
I see Mosby Creek through the trees,
We're getting near the place

Cruise down the path
Rotten egg's always last!
We're barefoot before the first bend
Look out, leaves of three!
Poison oak let us be!
Lay down our towels
We're here my friend

Me first! Dibs! I call the rope swing!
I shout, jumping over that tranquil spot
Y'know the one, where you go over the creek,
Because of that awkward rock
I grab the rope, run round to the edge
And launch myself sidewards right off the ledge!
Ker-plunk! Time to swim,
Summer's here, life begins.
I wrote this about the swimming hole down the road from where I grew up. It hit 80° the other day, time to hit the creeks.

We've changed, we're old.
If I had another chance
to taste you I would.
Give me a glance
see me young again
backstairs ******
escapades reaching
stars and breaking
time's limitations
old, fat, forgotten.

I think, that... Well, that's enough.
I think and it's complicated. The short version is "I love you so much", but still, it's complicated.
I'm only afraid, that my mistakes will move mountains away from the sun.
Rain and clouds are liking each other. Get a room and let me think!
