There is something
So safe
About a road
You've never been on

Let's be Honest
We aren't perfect
Let us accept our flaws
And not call them
Anything more than
What they are

Do not call me
By anything other
Than who I am
I am not Godly
I am only human
With some magic
In my words

I'm not all that beautiful
But my personality..
That'll catch you.
I won't lie to you
But sometimes I lie to myself.

I have bad days..
We all do.
But I won't pretend to be happy
And let you see a smile
That isn't real.

I will tell you how I feel
Let us be..honest.  
With each other
Because sometimes it's all we are.
We are creatures of emotion
Let us bear it only
If we want to, and I am.
I'm not hopeless.

Just a little scared
But let's be honest..
We're all a little unprepared.

Sie beobachtet manchmal ihre Mutter rauchen und versuchen, in ein Koma zu trinken und manchmal
Sie will das selbe machen
Um diesen Schmerz loszuwerden
Aber sie weiß es besser

I hope they
never look
quite the same
as you

Pieces of each other everywhere,
His hands on the bed
He left his head in the shower
And his heart is still in the sink.

Little things with you..
Waking up, arms still around my shoulders and love on my sleeves.
Leaves his words on my cheek
With a kiss

"Baby I love you.."

I'm not an Angel
I'm just trying
To grow some wings,
Wanna get away
While the the skies
Are still clear.

She must be mad
     The girl draws bees-
         The hive for days
              And traded her heart for
                        wings

Honeycomb sweet
   Poor girl too light on her feet
     Crazy sad girl
         She's following the bees

He's
Worth
It

She begins
to stare out the windows
of every place she goes
She slept a few nights in a stranger's home

Looked out his window
And begged the sun to stay
She wished for the morning to
breathe through the lights again

The nights became empty again
She fell in love with a stranger's room
The way she could breathe so easily
and talk so clumsily to herself

Closed the door and didn't
feel like locking it
She didn't have to lock herself in
to feel okay

I'd like to live
Between the blades
Of grass

To collect the dew
On my legs
In the mornings

For spiders to use me
To steady their webs with
Nimble limbs.

For young girls
to play with as they
Sit cross legged in their yard

To grow and be taken
For granted and to become
Aerial when she does cartwheels and gets me in her hair

To be green and sit under
The sun and withstand the rain

I whisper my prayers
To the Sun's children
Of love and kindness
And tell them about the strength
That he gives to me.

They have all grown
In peace and every day
They blossom towards
The warmth of my words to
Him.

I love you
Like I love the clouds
like looking up,
And knowing you'll be there
Even through the rain

They say the friends who build you up
Are the ones who are supposed to stay
But it turns out once you make them a wall
They'll quickly be on their merry way

But you're stuck between the doorway
Because you fell halfway through
And the person who used to pick you up
Is now the laughter that mocks you

Just like I cried over you once because the thought of losing you drove me to the edge and I couldn't bear to be standing on the edge of some mountain where we'd once stood together

And then it was just me..looking up at the view of the tallest person I'd ever met alone
Not knowing how to take it and I wish you would have showed me how
You were the sister with every answer
And a lyric for every song
You had the courage to just say let it be
And I did not
But thank you for bringing me short lived peace..
And now I have love
And really that's all  you need

I learned more
About myself from the guys
Who never gave themselves
The chance to break my heart

You choose to love me,
When he chose to leave.

I hope you can forgive me,
When I get mad at a Father who

Created me and left,
And sometimes at my mother,

Who had to be a Father too,
And raise me for the both of you.

You kissed me on the forehead
And told me you'd be home soon.

You came back to me once again,
And all he did was leave

I wish I could
Be indifferent to you,

But my anger rises like smoke
And you are the center of what

Always drove me to the brink
Of leaving my home.

I never
Got to know you
So
You're not who
I thought you were.

She just turned 40,
And I wonder if her
5 year old self
Would love the person she became.
God knows I do.

His presence brings you peace,
Allows you to sleep, but what
Has he done for you that
You haven't already done for yourself?

I resent
The window for
Being more open then me

Poets are supposed to be deep
And I am stuck in a rut.

You whisper to me
From somewhere I'm not.
I think of you
Wherever you are.

I hope you're okay,
Yes, I'm well.
But I hope that
You're happy and safe.

Please                                  Do not stare
              Don't look at me
Please                       Do not reach for me
           Leave my hand be
Please                     Not this kind of love
          I don't want this
Please                    Just leave me
                  Please

You do what
you have to.
Even though part
of you dies a little

Maybe fate
is a woman
and that's why
we bury the dead
with flowers

If you wouldn't
Take the Sun for granted
Do not take Me for
Granted


But you forget
Who brings you Warmth
Don't you?..

there are nights when your brain is static
And the only words you can mutter are self pitying
And human connection feels lost
The station of your words is weak
And you want to curl up and become antic like the records you love so much
Like the typewriter you value for print
But can no longer use
Until you collect dust in your lungs
Until your ribs are rusted
Until you are fossil fuel
Until you become recycled paper
In someone's printer

I feel so empty

Take care
Of yourself,  
You Queen

I wonder if the
Stars can read my
Lips when I pray
To them from my window

Some people,
Are angelic. Graceful. Godly.
They are otherworldly
In their beauty

And others
They are hell and heaven
On Earth
Imperfect and rough
Around the edges
With witchcraft
Under their skin

I don't remember who you are
You've knocked three times
Instead of coming strait in
****..I thought we were closer than that.

I don't recognize the mask you wear
That shields your eyes from mine.
I can see your darting eyes
Taking in the new person I am.
You don't seem surprised...

But I am...who are you?..
I don't see the honest person
When you're feeding me with lies
I can't read the words you say
When your lip gloss kisses them out

Your dangling ear rings must have caught
The secrets I tried to tell you
Because so far you haven't heard a thing
I whispered in faith..

Can I trust you anymore...
**** where'd you go?
Yeah you're still silly!
But you act like I'm a joke

You've never laughed so hard at me before
The worst part is...
I wasn't making any jokes...

Better get
The duct tape
Before my heart
Leaps out
Of my chest

I am
Always there, but
Where were
You?

I can't help but
Be thankful it didn't work out

I tell you
Goodnight
But I don't know what
I really mean by that

How
Do
you
Carry
So
much
Weight.
How
do
I
Take
Away
Some
Of
The
Guilt?
Where
Do
You
Store
It?
How
Can
I
Help.

I love chaotic
Things
Each bit of me
Messier
More unmanageable
Than the rest

I
Believe
In
Love,
But
You're
Making
It
Easy
To
Hate
You

Stop getting so
excited,
this is when
you let yourself
down
