When I lay in bed,
Trying to sleep.
When I close my eyes,
Thinking so deep.
When it becomes too late,
I fall asleep.
When I dream of a dream,
I can’t upkeep.
When all my senses,
Start to seep.
To the nonexistence,
Want to creep.
That’s the moment,
Forever,
I want to keep.

You want me to give you
all that I have
So I will

But before you take me
I want you to enter my soul
and search my every thought

I want you to see the stars inside of me
to feel the heat in my lungs
and the ice in my veins
Look into my heartbeat
and feel the rhythm in my fingertips

Experience the weight of my skin
against my concrete bones
Map the galaxies I have spinning in my head
and pinpoint all my scars

Take me
take all of me
I am a work of art

useless if not admired

-h.w.

I write love letters
to the oxygen in your lungs
and give thanks
to the trees who allow you to breathe

what a blessing it is
to exist alongside you.

I saw it coming.
I knew it was only a matter of time.
True colors caught off guard
Didn't trust my intuition
8 months later
If intuition had a face, it
would currently be giving me the
'I told you so' look.

So much time
effort
emotions
were wasted.
At least I found out myself
Confirmed beyond shadow
of doubt.
Enough groping in the dark

In the words of Plath...
I would say go to hell,
But I never want
to see you
again.
