Yet I Guard them.
Easily enough,
They can be built again.
But still,
I built them.
So only I,
May wield them.
I conceal them.
I live and breath them.
I feel them.
In a way, I need them.
Because without them,
I will only be them.
With no one to read them,
"I" will be forgotten.

"Monty, why do you write poetry?"

-"To live forever."

Once

Once

Once upon a time,
There was a little girl.
This little girl wanted to be loved,
And so she trusted.

Once upon a time,
A little girl trusted.
She trusted with all her heart
But this trust was betrayed.

Once upon a time,
a little girl was deceived.
At the time she didn't understand,
but she would grow.

Once upon a time,
A little girl blossomed into a girl.
This girl was forgetful,
Yet some memories cannot be ignored.

Once upon a time,
A girl regained some memory.
To be sure she asked,
Only the answer was worse than expected.

Once upon a time,
A girl received an unpleasant explanation.
So she held a memory,
though this memory was more like a secret.

Once upon a time,
A girl kept a secret inside her heart.
However every secret has it's weight,
And this one hurt.

Once upon a time,
There was a girl who hurt.
To seek comfort she released a demon trapped inside,
For it just couldn't do so much harm when exiled.

Once upon a time,
A girl was mistaken.
When someone rejected her suffering,
It pained her even worse.

Once upon a time,
Injury haunted a girl.
The more she tried,
The more damage was done.

Once upon a time,
There was a girl.
This girl wanted to be loved,
But her heart was crippled.

fragile.

Tissue paper in rough hands
Eggshells under feet
Wings of a moth or butterfly
Skin of a newborn baby
brittle sand dollars
Feeble legs of a calf
Delicate flower petals
Frail hearts
unstable emotions
Faint breath
Time crumbling
Words, bones, state of mind …love
Fragile.
*She is fragile.

Addicted

Addicted

You're addicting
like a cigarette
hanging between the balance
of almost gone
and not quite there.
Or maybe like
sleeping syrup
to an insomniac
on a cold winter night.
Or like a kiss
to someone who's
been deprived of the love
that's been offered to others.
God.
You're addicting.

Runners High

Runners High

Your pace begins to noticeably pick up,
Your breaths are becoming shorter.
You begin to coach yourself mid stride,
"Glide don't gallop, you look like Tigger for Christ's sake!"

Eventually it washes over you,
You slowly fade into a Sudden abyss of Sorts.
You're no longer running nor jogging,
Hell you're not even moving.

You're somewhere else,
Somewhere you told your mind to take You.
It might be an altered memory of a Past victory
Or perhaps a fantasy in the near future.
Where ever you are,
You're alone.
Yet you are crowded at the same exact Time.
You're in complete control,
Yet you have no idea how to enter or Exit this state.

Before you know it,
You come too.
Back into the reality of your bodies Limits.
Your joints are aching and the lactic Acid has built in your upper thighs.
Your arms have grown heavier and Heavier.

How'd I not notice all this pain before?
Where was I?
All questions foreshadowed by this:

..What the hell do I have to do to get back?

Curve

Curve

I want nothing more than to curve into you
My arms around your waist.
My cheek pressed against your chest
Our legs woven together
Listening to the rhythmic beating of your heart
Breathing in the familiarness of you
Till I've memorized the pattern of your breathing
Till you're imprinted on my skin
And I on yours

I've just created a new world without you

I've just created a new world without you

I’ve created a new world without you ..

Yes , all of you ..

Without your smiles and your faces ..

Without your souls and your places ..

Without your love and your lies ..

Without your whens and your whys ..

Without you ..

All of you ..

There’s nothing to proclaim ..

I know that everything would just stay the same ..

But there’s no problem ..

I’ve just created a new world without you ..

Yes , you ..

You left and you know well that there’s no life after you ..

You left and you know well what will happen after you ..

I hate myself for breathing without you ..

I don't want to feel anymore for you ..

Blinding wall between us ..

I have lost my way ..

And all paths lead straight to you ..

It doesn’t matter to reconsider what you said ..

It doesn’t matter to reconsider what you even did ..

I’ve just created a new world without you ..

And you ,

I found myself in you ..

Among lies you were something true ..

No one could describe me and you ..

But you weren’t just a one ..

You have a lot of faces with everyone ..

Your plan was to run away ..

And i was ready to be with you forever and stay ..

I just want to tell you true words ..

I wasn’t the addict here ..

You just forget your greatest fear ..

It doesn’t matter to reconsider what you said ..

It doesn’t matter to reconsider what you even did ..

I’ve just created a new world without you too ..

Running , running ..

In an endless maze ..

They’re so cunning ..

They put me in a daze ..

We could make everything so sweet ..

We could face everything and beat ..

You’re the winner , and i love tasting the defeat ..

The world is too big and im too small ..

Its when im about to fall ..

Im lost don’t get a thing at all ..

I need you and you never answer my help call ..

So i keep running to anywhere ..

I keep running to nowhere ..

Hoping to find ,,

Some consolation to what’s left of my mind ..

You always deceive ..

There’s nothing true to believe ..

There’s even no goal to achieve ..

And now ..

It’s time to leave ......

And i swear It doesn’t matter to reconsider what you said ..

It doesn’t matter to reconsider what you even did ..

Because i’ve just created a new world without all of you ..

I have something to say ..

Understand it by your way ..

If you couldn’t create a new world without people ..

Someday , You’ll find no place to escape ..
