I wonder if he can understand me...
Ashley Haack Mar 2015
I've been told all the down sides,
All the things that are supposed to ****,
But really all that does is the struggling to tie my shoes...
I don't really want this to end... I like being able to feel him move,
The only reason I have for wanting it over is
So I can finally hold him in my arms...
They mentioned back pain, and sore feet...
I don't really have that,
Sleepless nights and lots of peeing?
Well, maybe an extra time per day,
Sore ***** and swelling phalangies?
Uh... No, I just need to find a bra that fits...
Is something wrong with me?
I don't have strange food cravings,
I sleep just fine, did I just get off lucky?

Shh
One person in a room of desks,
Eerie silence broken by the sounds
Of computers buzzing and keys clicking,
Distant phones ringing in back rooms...
The musky smell of old books mingling
With the smell of matted carpet several decades old...
All the empty space of an unoccupied library,
It just screams to be filled with hushed voices,
My typing resounds like Goliath's footsteps,
I feel the librarian's searing gaze on my back,
Forcing me to type quietly, in this quiet room,
With its absence of people and lack of noises.

I don't understand how dark is evil and light is good,
The light gives skin cancer, blinds, and burns,
The light cooks us, kills us, boils our blood,
So why is it a sign for good?

Sometimes I worry the cuts on his body
aren't accidents...

I never saw the value in
Getting back together.

Gone is gone.
Dead is dead.

The world is just too huge an
Adventure

To give up a new one to
Go back.

Back.
Life is too short to

Embrace anything that begins with
*Yester.

Even when I'm upset and crying,
Hold me close in your strong arms,
Keep me warm and whisper softly,
Tell me everything that you love,
From the way I smile to the look in my eyes,
Remind me that you're love is unending,
Make me see the beauty you insist exists in me,
Take my hand and hold it tightly,
Wipe the tears from my eyes,
Lift my chin up and tell me it's okay,
Look me in the eyes and I know I'll be alright,
Because in that instant I'll know,
That you'll love me always.
