I didn't know who I was looking at. First glance.

I thought maybe this was just another Soul I'd get to walk this Earth knowing.

But Never in My wildest dreams did I ever think I'd want to Walk this Earth WITH You.

Maybe it was Your Hazel Eyes.

Glowing like warm Amber veins on Leather Canvas.

Glints of Green shimmering around Your Irises.

Maybe it was when I felt the weight of Your hand in mine.

A weight I knew held much Love inside Her as well an immense feeling of Sadness.

When we first met, I didnt know Who I was dealing with.

I'm dealing with an unapologetic Theif.

When our lips first touched it shifted something in Me.

Something twisted came untwined...

I felt a real sense of Love again.

You who stole My heart so easily and effortlessly.

Although probably unintentional on Her part.

She Stole every bit of focus inside Me.

I can't help but have this overwhelming urge to just shower You in everything You've been missing.

Love... Affection... Gratitude... Attention... Appreciation... Respect....

think of all the people you've ever met,
and all the conversations that have ever left an impact on you.
think of all the thoughts that those words prompted in you,
and all the actions they led to,
which went and touched more people than you can count.
innumerable words and thoughts,
little cosmic representations of the
souls of people touching us
every.single.day.
your life is forever and inexplicably interconnected with a million others.
forever intertwined, forever in tandem; forever solitary.

I need to Say It

I need You to Hear It

But the Words are Locked up
And Voiceless without the Key
To unlatch the Cages.

If I Release them
Will You hear?

Will I hold Your Heart with Love and Care?

Or will it slip through My fingers

To Shatter like glass

And disintegrate into a million pieces on the floor

Either way

The outcome is unknown

But at least I showed You my Heart

That's what matters at the least

...

Right?

Stop trying to be everything you think the world wants
and just be.
And don't bluff.
Don't bluff for once in your life and just do.
Do what you know you must.
The path is clear now.
You don't need hope,
faith
or trust.
Just let go
and forget everything you know.

What do you do when everything hurts?
You cry and you cry,
and it's like your ribs,
your chest,
your head...
your whole body hurts.
You want to scream.
You want to cry out to someone.
You want SOMEONE to care.
You just want peace...
for someone to wrap you in there arms,
tell you they are there,
and for it to be the truth.
Why can't it be that simple?

At the kitchen table,
All alone, after dark:
The pen, the ink, and me.
