If I combined everything
Glued and cut
trimmed and designed

would anyone
care to read?

A collection hand picked
Sentimental beyond
Perhaps maybe then

I can afford to live
after all
Your name is on the tip of my mind
the touch I crave is you
I want you next to me

they ask how I am
I lie perfectly as I smile and tilt my head
but no one can hear how hoarse my voice is
from screaming words you'll never hear

no one is there as I turn dirt to dust
push the gas further down and increase the speed
empty dirt roads hold much more then just dirt

Why your back on my mind
is a mystery to me
but with that comes the depression once more

and the knowledge that despite how I love
despite how I try
no one could love me like you
or be better then you
A young love still pure, despite the time and hardships faced. One still loves the other, and the other doesn't care at all.
Wanting to be in your arms
wanting to be with you
wanting to feel you
wanting to feel loved by you
is a luxury that I failed to protect
a luxury that I will never feel again
a luxury someone else will enjoy
I'm still in love with that luxury
I'm still in love with you
The desire to write is at my fingertips
my arms ache to paint
show the world what I hold in

my voice croaks to speak out
the words I swallow back

the "I miss you" that will never be heard correctly
the "I love you" that is gone
a empty grave
one must believes exist
just to live with hope

would it be too much
to ask to stand next to me once more
grant me the strength and love
I know is gone

but then again
I still love a ghost
the ghost who still lives
Why do they come up
Why bring me back to the horror
Why make me remember
Why must these memories haunt me
only to leave me once more???
Simple words
effective meaning
such beauty
so easy

that would be a dream
type
speak
let loose all the words I believe
let them go
out into the world

for all to see
for all to love
for all to criticize
for all
to see me
Your voice against my ears
your scent once more filling my nose
The man you became
the strength you had
the kindness and wisdom for everyone
oh to see it once more
to experience it once more
Would be like seeing God in the flesh


funny how the mind of a shattered heart
thinks of the strangest things
that would fix it so easily

but there is only so much possible
in impossible
and sometimes
the life changing, heart mending thought
is that "im"
