I fear the thought of failure
my name written in the dirt
spat upon
Standing in line
picked out
like a painting
framed,
ashamed of what..
of who I've become
The mistakes
the bad things
Horrible
Unkind
I look back down
at my name in the dirt
a gravelly scribble
I grab a stick,

*Strikethrough.

Destination home,
My room begins to spin,
Memories of amusements,
And copious amounts of Gin!

Blooming in the garden
So many life forms
So many flowers
My favorite of all blackthorns
Slow pacing in the garden
Windiest of the days and seasons
My favorite scene
My hands brushing against the plants I can't name
I listen to nature sing to me different songs
Crickets of the night
They came so early to sing me
A fine lady's lady bug resting on my shoulder
How thoughtful
Such beauty leaves me speechless
I get tongue tide

I fancy you
Why can't you see?
Are my sacrifices not meaningful?
You look past my way whenever I admit I've fallen
Why can't you hear?
Are your ears stuffed with wax?
If so you must remove the residue
There's a resolution
A resolution that'll cause you to notice me
I'm tired of being invisible
I would lay my hand upon yours but I'm afraid you'll feel nothing
Is it all pointless?
Am I your mistake?
Am I my own mistake?
Don't answer
I don't wanna know the sad truth

They'll call me crazy
I have no care for this realm
I'll find you on the other side with open arms
Cracking smiles
Tiny waterfalls from your eyes
I can sleep forever knowing that I'll find you in my dreams
They'll call me crazy for not being able to let you go
But I know where my happiness lies
I've promised to visit you every night
Now I'm promising to stay
I hate to see you're face turn with emptiness when I awake
I've made my decision

Be careful
Come back as you left
No bruises
No death
Be careful
Come back with open arms
No sorrow
No headache
No bad tongue
Come back as you left
Don't let the rain catch you
Stay dry
No wet clothing smell
Don't let the unknown bring you back
To me dead

Worshiping with a smile
There could never be another you
Elaine
Elaine
Seems to always come up in conversations
Worship away
Worship you
A time where time shouldn't exist
I wanna keep you forever
Forever a long time
But It'll be beautiful with you
Wonderful girl
You are wonderful
