Countless times have people asked,
Why are we here?

And still
the universe refuses to answer,

never acknowledging the simplistic question
being shouted from tiny voices.

People pray to know
what their purpose is or if there is a purpose.

Demanding an answer to the misfortune that happens.

But the universe stares coldly at the world,
never uttering a single sound.

And why should it?

Why should such a grandiose power
answer people who will die in the blink of an eye
to never change or influence the course of life
and yet people continue to shout
asking and demanding for an answer or a sign.

Nothing changes and the world continues to spin.

The universe continues creating without reason.

Spawning life from the palm of its hand.

I had a dream that everything was on fire
and all I did was run
and scream and panic

I wasn't safe

we weren't safe

and the sky was that funny shade of purple and red

but there wasn't smoke

the fire just consumed
demolished the land like a wave
the embers shot into the sky
and the flames enveloped everything

I woke up shaking
terrified for my life

I am not
I repeat
NOT
going to fight for you

You want her?
Go get her

I didn't take you back
just to be treated
the same
*******
way
AGAIN

I don't want to be second
I don't want to be taken for granted
I want you to put my love on top

You are everything to me
Why can't I be everything to you?

Light me on fire
so then i could feel passionate

you do not ignite me
like i wish you would

you are awkward and problematic
an endless stream of issues and broken promises

you aren't romantic
or ****

you don't sweep me off my feet
or take my breath away

you once made me believe that my breath couldn't be taken away
but now I know I can be

men have stolen my breath
paused my heartbeats
and silenced my words

and yet you leave me trying to strike up conversation

She confused him, that creature of The Wild.
He belonged to her, without a shadow of doubt.
But she was the moon to his sun, The darkness to his light.
She was the yin to his yang, and the throes of fire that consumed his sea.
While he conquered worlds,
She stayed trapped in her self erected prison.
And as her flew to the universe beyond reach,
She sank in a bottomless pit.
And yet,
He was drawn to her.
Like the cycle that held day and night,
And the inexplicable line between captive and Captor.
        One could not exist without the other,
        *But neither, could they exist together.
What do you do when you are drawn to the other side?

For some reason people don't understand humanity
they find it disgusting
greedy
corrupted
impure
but how dare they praise faults
instead of glorifying the good
the kindness
the warmth
the love
so much love surrounds humanity
and i feel it everyday
