sometimes in this life love is built on a dream
sometimes in this life love is built on a sweet word
sometimes in this life love is built on a hope
sometimes in this life love is built on a smile
sometimes in this life love is easy to make it
but in my life love comes so slowly and it goes so fast !

I watch as the people I once knew
Become the people I don't know anymore
I miss them a so much
Growing up is amazing and depressing
That girl who was always happy is now sad
That girl who was so innocent is now ruined
That girl who was cracking jokes fell silent

That leads me to wonder. Did I change too?
Do others notice a small silent change in me?
I felt
the   b u r n i n g   of   M Y
H E A R T as it was r i p p i n g from my chest.
Sticky red substance. Too late to shield. Run for cover while you can.
Because   it’s   coming.   It’s  coming.   S L O W L Y.   But   it’s   coming.
Heartbreak stops at  no  one. Stops  at  no  mercy. B L E E D S  you   dry.
Run   for  cover   because  it’s   coming.  It’s  coming.  &  you  can’t   hide  without  cover.
It’s coming.

I hope you choke on the names of our would be children
when it happens to cross into your thoughts
the few nights you don't sink into bed ****** out of your mind

I hope you ***** down the hallway thinking of me
I hope you never make it to the bathroom on time
I hope your stomach acid burns like a ripcord up your trachea

You told me no one had good ***** like I did
And he said it, too
Every last time I cheated on you

Just remember you betrayed me first
Told me to **** someone to put equality back into the universe

It's sad to say I did it out of spite
I could have been loyal

Instead we let each other become driftwood
burning blue and green
and floated away without a fight

On our first date you held the door open and asked me 21 questions while I wondered what it's be like to kiss that perfect smile

Our fourth date I met your grandpa, you held my hand for two hours strait and I never wanted you to let go

On our seventh date you took me to the best Mexican restaurant in town. It was valentines day. I was nervous, and laughed at every word you said. That night you asked me to be yours, officially, and I took no time to hesitate saying yes. Everything is better now.

On our tenth date we laid in bed for hours. I told you my secret and I'll never forget those three words you said after you kissed me. I've never seen you cry, but tonight you shed a tear; and I think I fell inlove you.

On our fifteenth date we lay in bed watching movies we saw as kids. You held me close as I fell asleep. You smelled so lovely. Lazy days with you are more magnificent than all the stars in the sky.

On our sixteenth date you saw me cry for the first time. We talked for hours. Your wise words reprogrammed my thinking. "Find something to get you through everyday, and just live day by day." You told me things will be alright. I only believed the look in your eyes and the kiss you gave to my cheek.

On our twentieth date you poked out your lips and tried to kiss me, you held me down and rubbed your lips all over my face, I've never heard me laugh like that before. So happily, and uncontrollably. I love when you do that.

On what would have been our twenty fifth date you said it'd be best to go our own ways. Nothing was going how we thought, and things changed too quickly. You left that day.

i am not
a nail to hang a picture
a switch to turn on a light
a key to open a door
a broom to sweep a floor

so why must you think
it is okay
to treat me like these few?
i am a person
a mind
a soul
i was not made
to be used


- j.m.d.
Look into my eyes
and say with me,
*"I am worthy of love."

Alone she sat
Waiting for a sign.
When none came,
She decided it was her time.
The note was made
Goodbye's inside,
Her life about to fade.
They say she'll be missed,
She knows they'll forget.
Alone she sat,
Prepared for the worst.
The knot at its tightest,
The monsters were silenced.
