Skating on thin ice
comes with a slippery price

Never quite knowing
when the ice will give

Falling under into the tundra
seems like no way to live

Skating on thin ice
can cost you your life

We all have that moment
when it dries just perfect and
the next one will be just smudged.

I loved him.
I tried to give him all I could but failed.
I tried to be the *light
in his world so dim
and I wanted to be the air he inhaled.

This love was one-sided.
Was I not good enough?
Was that why it was so unrequited?
Was that why you were acting so tough?

Didn't you love me?
Atleast at one point?
Why couldn't you see
that hopes tend to disappoint?

You didn't love me as much I loved you.
I tried to force my brain to believe that you did,
and I did believe that you loved me, too.
but that's just one of the many lies that you hid.
you never loved me the way I should have loved myself.

my world is messy
I can never be still
this feeling
that feeling
I never feel calm

I can be happy
Joyous
Funny
Laughing
and then
I can be sad
miserable
melancholy
serious

it's all a giant mess
and I can't seem
to gain control
and the only emotion
that's never changed
is the one of
love
and
suicide.

funny how even those are
complete
opposites.

This one took a while. But it was worth it

God, what she stole from you—
compared not which she pillaged
from herself? Number One, her, inside
that homespun box  who killed her spirit’s
glee and her spirit’s statuesque poise.
In this neck of fire worn woods, only the
deadly fashion ignited her survival instinct.  
She ingested cells of dead air, trees, and animals—
perhaps a person who ached for one last breath.
She found at the bottom of the pit of fire,
a plight for a revolted woman who hungered for
a rebellion. She rode a double edge sword—
between a rock and roll vibrating razor. Ah…
She bloodied the banality of a rough and
tough ivy vine. The ivy spread despite her efforts
to prune the rabid growth. At sunset, her sand paper
castle collapsed with the spoken word of, “God help me.”

can we hide from these dark secrets all our life?
can you change into a beautiful butterfly over night?
can you stay with me until the sunshines?
can you say youll be mine for the rest of our lives?
can we have a family and stay together till we die?
can you switch places with me and let me drive that car?
can I bring you back?
can I help your family?
can you forgive me?
im sorry I think not
share with your friends :)

It all began
with a gaze, then..
a thud knocked on my valve
disrupted the blood flow
constricted it
jolting my own chamber of life
with a new life
foreign to my heart
to my being
I opened all 4 rooms
and welcomed it with open arms
warming the cold chills
that have overtaken
it over the years

A constriction that
turned my face red
and made my lungs ache for air
as I took a deep breath
to fill the void
I inhaled your aura
and it nestled in
the center of my being
turning it into
a warm
home
