I swear
all I ever am
to any man
or rather boy
I've ever known
is a distraction.
some action.
An attractive thing
with which they can bide their time
(What about mine?)
until something else comes along.
and trust me, that doesn't take very long.
And sometimes it makes me feel okay
sometimes it makes me feel worthwhile
until I realize
That it doesn't matter what I say
or do
it's always going to be a game
to them.
Those men
who look to me for a distraction.
a meaningless piece of action.
And then there's me
poor and weak and hopeless
(as if I didn't already know this)
expecting it to make me feel
anything more than worthless.
And sometmes I pretend that I can play,
that I, too, love this game.
but the truth is I hate it.
I hate the way it makes me feel
and I hate the person inside this shell
created by this personal hell
In which disreguard is all I get
and all Im left with is feeling like this.
Because I'm only ever looked to as a distraction
and a worthless piece of action.


So come one
come all
and push down the girl
who will so easily fall
for the boy with a good charade
that's all they ever are these days.

I'm curious
if there will be an us.
If I'll have a plus
one
to all these weddings coming up.
I wonder
what you're thinking...
If you'll ever know that I've been dreaming
of you
of all the things we used to do
And all that I hope to do.
I wonder what you think of me,
how you view what we used to be
If you hope to find a different side of me
Because I want you to see
all of me.
I'd open up to you
If I knew for sure that we'd make it through.
And I don't doubt that I will anyway
Because I have some things I want to say
to you.
Some things I want to finish, too.
I want to pick up on that last conversation
that we had
where I ended up so dang sad
Because I never considered the idea
But I think I knew somewhere inside
And still, all I wanted to do was hide.
But I've conquered the fear, I think,
of knowing what's inside of me.
And you know my demons
and you were there through the fight
You're the only one who held me while I cried.
Thank you for always being there by my side.
I just cant help but wonder
after all this rain and thunder
(as if it will ever end)
You'll ever be more than my friend.
But you know what they say about curiosity.
It kills.
So does that apply to dreams?

And most days now
I can hardly breathe.
Because of the excitement
inside of me.
The eager buzz
bubbling over
hopelessly
and hopefully...
The thrilling nerves
That I can't contain.
The butterflies I can't explain.
And I am counting down the days
(28)
Until I'll see you again.
And I hope that you
are looking forward to it too.
I hope that you're a fraction as excited as I
and I can't wait to see the look in your eyes...
I can't seem to explain
the state
that I'm in...
But basically, I can hardly wait.

And just when I think I'm okay...
"What are those scars on your leg?"
"just don't worry about it" I say
it's all going to hell
I don't know what else
there is
to say about it.

My heart beats fast
At the thought of it all.
The simple image
that I just might have a chance
to fall
(for you...).
That I might have the option
to tak the plunge
Into the deep..
But I can't sleep
There's too much tension
so much
I do not know...
Will my plunge end
with a painful blow
when I land
Or with some beautiful
and invigorating grace?
Will I have to save face
for everyone's sake?
Or will I ever land at all?
Will I be forever suspended in freefall?

If I let go
And fall
I pray that you
willl calm
my rushing heart
With your warm arms.
After all this time apart
Is there enough still to plunge into?

Hey, you
are stronger than you know
And I promise that it shows
Even if you don't see
You're more powerful than you think
You can acomplish anything
even when it feels like you're sinking.
you've got it in you
to prove
everyone wrong.

you. are. strong.
Please believe it.
