There are stars falling
from the corners of her eyes
and they are burning down the road
she's trying to walk along.

I will pick up all of her fallen stars.

I will repair the ones that broke,
but I will not run from the responsibility.

The edges are sharp,
my hands might bleed out,
but to neglect her fallen constellations
would be almost criminal.

I know she's confused.

A word of advice:
Maybe you should guard your stars
from this world, the next time.
It's easier writing about people who never existed, anyway.
A flower teaches me
To simply be
Roots firmly grounded
But moving with the breeze
Always reaching for the light
Love and energy from the sun
Let go and breathe
The pure simpleness of this moment

There remains more
Than simply two sides
I'm neither
A hater or unwise
And just like you
I have my pride
I refuse to be fooled
By any Republican
Or Democratic jive
But that doesn't mean
We're not in for a hell of a ride

I'm in love with a man
I know not to love,
his heart will never be free.
I waste my days
a slave to his ways-
knowing he will never love me.

He is the secret
I can never reveal,
the best lover I ever have known.
I've nothing to give
but my body.....it's his-
fresh dirt for him to bury his bone.

Hopelessly hooked
on him like a drug,
wanting him day and night.
I play his ***** game
I have no shame-
taking it all, knuckles white.

Dead is the conscience
I knew so well,
and morals.....they ran far away.
Clarity now blurry
in a love-drunk slurry-
the 'good me' has gone astray.

To lay with him
is playing with fire,
the flames...they burn me alive.
Leaving me marred
hurting and scarred-
the pain on which I thrive.

A fool for punishment
I beg for more,
even if all I am worthy of is ****.
Loving him breaks me
it overtakes me-
but I'm not willing to quit.

I die a little more
with each passing day,
until again, I get lost in those eyes....
All doubts go away
so for now I'll stay-
living this life of lies.
You can't always help who you fall in love with...
If I could vacuum-clean
all of the dark clouds
from the sky above your head,
I would.

If I could make the sun shine
after stopping the rain,
I would.

If I could send you
an everlasting rainbow
to brighten-up all of your days,
I would.

If I could shoot
a wishfilled falling star
your way,
I would.

For you, if I could,
I would!

A little prayer for my family and friends.
Dedicated to anyone going through hardships.
If I could, I would!
***

I truly appreciate this prayer making the daily! All thanks be to God!
i sigh at my frustration,
thinking of how we could've tried harder.
we both know we were the best thing ever
but when does a person ever really want what's best for them?

- g.w
Reaching out across the stars,
we've had to fight since birth,
so that our burning avatars
could unite our lights on earth.

Arms raised not to withdraw
beneath the crying horizon,
a closing coup de grâce
where a shattered moon is rising.

Towards one another we race
with no space left to divide
the endless dancing embrace
of two worlds that finally collide.
