if you were hurtling towards the busiest road in your town, too
with a life full of darkness only occasionally
breached by the sun
you might not think i'm crazy for saying
in that split second moment,
vision blurred by the rain or my tears i don't know,
but i wasn't sure
if i was going to stop.

i'm sure the neighbors looked out their windows
streaked with rain,
saw the girl walking along, draped
in rainclouds she was grey,
everything about her screamed sadness,
all the life within her had
long since died.
i'm sure they were concerned,
i'm sure they pitied her,
wondered how the clouds had fallen from the sky
and clung to this girl, with that lovely smile
and sparkling eyes oh how they wished
she would just step inside
and wait for the sun.
-a.c.b

somehow your words struck such a
chord within me,
those delicate sentences strung together with
pure emotion i wonder
how the same 26 letters could create
something the complete opposite.
you took your hands and
pried your chest open,
showed me the heart inside, showed me
what that heart beats for
while making it clear
it doesn't beat for me.
-a.c.b

for someone so guarded,
i sure get attached easily.
