Life doesn't stop,
even if you don't know
how to keep going.

Everyday I still have to
wake up without you.
Thinking of adding to the last stanza " A cruel joke with no real punch line." But at the same time, I kind of like it just like this. My feelings tonight on the baby I lost September 9th, 2011.

Hear the symphony of the room you surround yourself with.
Have you already heard this song?

Sip your current State.
Do you like it?

How now a brown cow.
Are you even listening?

Pass your homework to the front of the class.
Were you daydreaming again?

All day I sit, sleep and get tired,
I really do wanna feel inspired,
I see people around me, robots and computers,
Not really breathing, just living in doubts and fears,
Let's invent a dance form,
Let's discover where caterpillars come from,
let's give to the poor and to the needy,
Not money, INSPIRATION,
For an inspired man has no boundaries, no limitations,
He don't need no money, his mind is full of innovations,
It's not that I don't have the time,
Sometimes all you need is a partner in crime.

I had a fantasy about you

That we would share an ice cream cone

That we would order a double scoop of mint oreo and we would just sit and share an ice cream cone.

That’s not the whole fantasy…

I just wanted to go driving with you and to the dairy mart
and just do errands.

I don’t even think that you would know.

Love isn't hearts
Love isn't cupid
Love isn't smart
Love isn't stupid
Love isn't a girl or guy
Love isn't a thing
Love isn't an object to buy
Love isn't a ring

These are just symbols of love that the world throws at you to make you believe in it the way they do. So what is love really?

Love is sacrifice, commitment, and trust.
Love is love, not lust.
like a wave in the ocean
Love is an action rooted by an emotion.
Love gives before it takes
Love makes many mistakes
but love always forgives
because part of you lives
in love and love lives in you
which is why one flesh comes from two.
Love will be there for you, when you're not there for it
Love won't say a word but will hold you and sit
silently taking away some of your pain
even though from it love has nothing to gain.
If you want love to love you then you need to love love
because that's what true love is made of.

Gravity pushes us down and together
But time's wicked ticking tears us apart
Away from our foolish dreams of forever
That echo the walls of my broken heart

I'm left helpless, restless, undone
Because no matter what I do
While the Earth may turn round the Sun
My world still revolves around you.
I'm terrible with titles, it's hard for me to add specific words to sum up my thoughts and feelings.

There was once a girl,
And she was loved by all,
and she was beautiful,
and she was young. 

There was once a girl, 
And she was innocent, pure, 
and she was honest, 
and she laid bare all. 

There was once a girl, 
And she was beautiful,
and she was unaware, 
and she was filled,
plagued with insecurity. 

There was once a girl,
And she was pensive,
and she was overlooked,
and she was numb, 
she was broken,
yet she was still young. 

There was once a girl,
who lived a life of battle,
who drank for the pain,
who swallowed for the suffering,
who jumped for the isolation,
So that she wasn't a girl anymore.
