I took a hand full of frosted door ****,
My skin glued to the brushed chrome finish,
Like pitch forks and torches I spewed out of a mob,
A raw bone aching anguish,
Stepped in through the doorway leaving behind snowy footprints,
I stepped in the doorway leaving behind morbid hints,
Subtle snores filled the air a man sitting up in a sofa chair,
Biting down, trapped in his middle-class nightmare,
Eyes open slow expecting the unknown,
Then his nails dig into the leather as his pupils impload,
He chatters through his teeth a breathless "help" in Morse code,
So I held up my index finger, and said in a moist whisper,
"Don’t say a ******* word."
He broke out in a wide-eyed choppy nod,
Baby, in this hell this dark world,
There is no such thing as an all merciful loving god,
The night was silent especially in this dark room,
A man with soiled pants stares out into the empty gloom,
With his effortlessly open jaw and his imminent doom.
What a beauty, sleeping sound.
Lost in her dreams, speaking aloud.

Upon her forehead, a ****** kiss;
murdered by her charming prince.

Blood on the walls. Blood on the bed,
toes and fingers on the floor and a hole in her head.

Time stood still.
As i laid a rose upon her window sill.

I said my goodbyes, and off i went,
Done with one fairy tail, and off to the next.
Deep in its darkness;
There lies an infinite light,
Dancing in the distance;
Through the faint mist of the night.
Lying naked, on the cold moist concrete.
Dazzled by her elegance;
As she gracefully promenades the street,
She shines white, shades of blue,
She shines bright;
Regardless of the opaque gloom.
Paralyzed, My pupils wither,
She's making her way,
Like the cool numbing winter.
Oh you are but a beautiful stranger,
-A moonlit diamond, playing in the water

I know you'd be happier
Without all of the struggles
I've brought along
But without you
Where would I be now?

You've made me laugh
Hell, you've even made me cry
I guess opposites attract
And we're too similar
For you to think of me
Any other way
Than you do already

I'm happy
I truly am
The sky more blue
The grass more green
The only thing
That could make me happier
Is *you
From the *******

I um, I haven't really had much of a conversation with you.
Like, a real one. You know, the ones about how the air smells
in spring or how the stars look at night.
But, I keep having this dream where I tell you
that I've always thought that it was my fault.
That I deserved what happened to me.
And to be honest, you are the only person who
makes me feel like it wasn't.
So, thank you.

I want to thank you for saving me.
At first, I hated you because you had to be the one who
brought me to the counselor that day. I was so hell-bent on
wanting to die, that I completely forgot my reasons to live
even though their hands were guiding me to the
front office.

Thank you for being there for me when no one else was.
For asking that oblivious question, "Is it boy issues?" that day in Math class.
For staying with me no matter what.
For being my friend.
For... caring about me.

Michael, thank you.
Thank you so much for everything you are
and everything you ever will be.
I want to wish you the best on your engagement
and I really do hope you live a long and prosperious life with your significant other.

I love you, I really do.
I swear I've seen you twice
Once was on a train
You sat next to me and asked me my name
You told a man to take his feet off the seat
You were considerate of others and very sweet
You gave me a pin in the shape of an Angel
You said it would keep me safe and that they would follow me wherever I go
You were an old woman
But you're expression was bright
Your ora gave off a luminous light
You were beautiful
You filled my heart with joy
My day had been long
And I had been coy

I saw you again on a mountain
I was night hiking alone
I had to get away
Like the last time you saw me, I'd had a bad day
I went to the mountain praying for death
I cried to the heavens with all the energy I had left
I said to God, set me free, for I have no more faith in me
I was in an open field and across the way I saw something move
It was an animal in the light of the moon
I'm not sure what animal you were
But it looked at me from a distance, that I'm sure

We glared at eachother
I looked you in your glowing eye
And for some reason I no longer wanted to cry
The hole in my heart had somehow been filled
A helper of the Lord had been revealed
I wanted to walk toward you
But I was afraid
I felt death would be a mistake I could have made
I walked the other way
That I regret
You weren't afraid of me
You didn't fret

I believe in you
I know you believe in me
You are beautiful
You brought out the beauty I now see
The world is cruel
Growing up is intense
When you saw me last I was sitting on the fence
Life or death
Hope or dispare
You rescued me
I know you were there.
