starry eyes
starry eyes
oh how i love those
****
starry
eyes
they shine
and they gleam
they make me want to
scream
they pierce through my skin
they caress every vein
those
****
starry
eyes
sparkling like champagne
your stare is electric
it cuts through my core
i can feel it in the air
there's nothing i don't adore
about those
****
starry
eyes
i can't look away
from those
****
starry
eyes.

fat
annoying
ugly
A seed planted at a young age
Growing deep In my subconscious mind

Comments are made
Tears are shed
The critic is brought closer to the surface of consciousness
The seed planted oh so long ago sprouts and begins to blossom

Fat
Annoying
Ugly
I watch my plant grow
Helpless and full of desperation

What started as a question
Has now become a reality filled with judgements and critics
Presumptions feed on my thoughts like wildfire
Now an all consuming conflagration
Leaving me
Obsessed
Empty
Starving

FAT
ANNOYING
UGLY

My plant is now a dense forest
My fire burns brighter than ever before
FAT
ANNOYING
UGLY
WORTHLESS
HOPELESS

­lost.

I am trapped
Lost in a forest fire
Created by my worst critic
**ME.

Sweet darkness is calling another night in your cold embrace. Your kiss chills my shaking lips,your stare com pales my empty gaze. You long for my tears and thirsts upon their sweetness.In the daylight I'll find strength but sweet darkness .....you are my weakness.

Sometimes,
I feel like I'm living my life
just trying to fool me.
I don't even know what parts
of myself
are real anymore,
and it scares me.
I want to know who I am,
but I'm also scared to death,
because maybe,
I'll hate me.

An Angel in disguise is what she was
So beautiful, so kind, so lovely, but never mine
Her eyes were crystal spheres that hypnotized
Love was all I had for you, no lust, no lies
Everyday I think of all we could have had,
Y**et I know It was all my fault, for not opening my mouth

I'm still sitting here, waiting for a sign.
A sign that might come about,
or might not,
or I might look over because it looks like another sign,
because I'm too busy waiting, waiting for that one sign.
That sign everyone wants to see, right?
That "I love you, let's start this all over" sign.
I can't see past your current "I love you's",
And your current "I miss you's",
And your kisses,
Your embraces,
All of the stuff you used to do,
All the stuff you used to say.
So how am I supposed to 'believe in you',
when you're playing me like a fiddle?
Or are you?
I don't know.

Too busy waiting for that sign, I guess.

In the shadows of the rotting gas station,
he sits on an old wooden bench,
staring out at the desolate town.
Lines of extreme age criss-cross his face
but when he turns his head
they're gone,
dismissed as shadows.

His eyes,
eyes of a crow,
black and beady.

And when he turns his head
and locks his cruel eyes with yours--

He that loves a rosy cheek,
  Or a coral lip admires,
Or from star-like eyes doth seek
  Fuel to maintain his fires:
As old Time makes these decay,
So his flames must waste away.

But a smooth and steadfast mind,
  Gentle thoughts and calm desires,
Hearts with equal love combined,
  Kindle never-dying fires.
Where these are not, I despise
Lovely cheeks or lips or eyes.
