It started out simple
Innocent, if you will
It was cold that morning
   And the next
        And the one after that
            And the following one

"I'm cold"
"Moisture wicking"
"Keeps the sun off"
What lie shall I say today?

It started out innocently
To the untrained eyes

Now they ask
How I survive?
How can I bare the heat?
How do I not melt?

"Best foot forward
You represent now
Be mindful of your look"

Would I still look presentable
If you saw the battles
I lost against my own self
Would that show strength and courage?

Or would I be shunned once more,
For things I could not control
And memories that linger at night
Would you care if I lie once more?
She sits, knees down,
In practiced posture.

Grounded and calm.

Her curled fingers
Rest on her thighs.

Precise.
Impervious.
Immovable.
Her own.


In her smile,
A wisp on the wings
Slowly unfurls,
In a whirl
Of wise and winding

Mischief.


As honey'd tones
Roll from her maw,
I am humbled.
Hanging.
Enchanted.
Enthralled.

Lucky to be involved.


And in her every word
There is a piece of her
Unseen,
Unheard,
But no less present.

Pure effervescence.

On all terms,
In her way,
Effortless
And pleasant.


Purposeful, she;
Spinner of tales.
To find joy in life
To be a difference
Find the reason to smile
Be a spark to ignite

But you hold your walls up
Build your defense
Pratice your cries of innocence

Your view of life is skewed
But you bicker and complain of your past
You taught me everything

And show me
What not to become
"Why are you out there
Your gonna fall"

He's all I look for
All I wish to feel
Just a moment of forever
Once more upon my lips

The gentle caressing
The secrets we shared
The laughs
And the tears

All perfectly chaotic
In the sympathy we called love

But his love is no more
On its way to me
But my body refuses to accept
My heart longing for hi.
My mind racing for a way to be his once more

"Would you let me?
Would you let me fall?
If it ment I was finally with him once more?"
A small treat
A little moment to be a child
A small smile
And spring in my step
Only help hide the pain

For you it was a small act
Something you did
Because I was being a pain
But you continued
And it became our habit

A small habit
"Have a good day"
kiss on the cheek
Passing of a 6 pack of oreos

Despite being a cookie
Just a simple mass produced cookie
They make me smile
And be a child for a moment

A moment where I was young
A moment where life was easy
A moment where you were mine to hold
The concept simple
The reality much different
It was suppose to be a new start
A new chapter of invention
A new road being paved
But the chains still hold
the obligation of blood
The concept of staying

I shouldn't be bitter
I shouldn't be upset
"Enjoy the time you have"
but when its holding me back
is it still worth it?
The roar of the crowd
The flashing lights
My voice horse from having fun
My body bouncing to the beat

As the song plays
As my voice swings the melody
The tears streamed down
And I thought of you

Wishing to have you as mine
Once more
Wishing you sat
In the empty seat next to me
