but love is passion
obsession
something you can't live without
I say,
fall head over heels
find someone you can love like crazy
and who will love you the same way back.

I think of all the things
we could have done with our time
and all the days and months
when I was yours and you were mine.

sometimes we must let go
of the things we love most
and only hope
that one day
they will find
their way
back
to us.

La vida
es un acto
de viajar
de aquí
para allá.

You were once the missing piece to my puzzle
but now we are two pieces
to an entirely different game.

Still, I trusted him.

Rise from the ashes.

It's time, let go.

Keep your circle small.

Inhale and let go.

Love isn't always enough.

I miss the past.

I lost our future.

Lost is my will.

Moral compass, error 404.

I did love him.

Night is such a dangerous time
Darkness is when the truth emerges
No longer distracted by the superficial joys
that grace us during the daylight hours
We are forced to face our demons and
delve into self reflection
Night is when I miss you most
Surrendering to the loneliness and
realization of my mistakes
Night is such a dangerous time.

I wonder how dangerously
my thoughts would roam
If I didn’t tie them down
to a piece of paper.

Loneliness is a sign
you are in desperate
need of yourself.

You were once the love
who energized me
but like a dying battery
you began to drain me
and I had to let go.

It is what I left behind
that breaks me
all the images of what
we could have built
had the love remained.

“Yeah I’m very sorry,” he said
after he spread my legs and ****** me.

A blank page, a story untold
the salty air and sun kissed cheeks,
the murmuring sea whispers many tales
all are secrets for my heart to hold

If I stay, I wonder what  I would find
happy old couples in their beach houses
hidden trails deep in campgrounds
perhaps something new and one of a kind

A story ends and a new one starts
good food,  sun-soaked relaxation, and sand
memories relieved and new ones created
all just new chapters I hold in my heart.

Always the second choice,
never the first
maybe one day
the tables will be reversed.

There a warmth that radiates within
every time my eyes see him
his inviting eyes and beautiful smile
makes me think I'll stay a while
I'm so used to being on the run
from all those who think I'm the one
Trust me, I'm not; I'm just passing some time
You should see me as a mountain not worthy to climb
I'll get out, go, and find someone like me
this is my dream, my eternal plea
But what if I get there and I waited too long
and it turns out all this time I've been wrong
Just start where you are and use what you've got
maybe then you'll see some change in thought
You're not the prize won at the end
by some long term, faithful friend
You're just a girl who's always running away
afraid of what you might find if you decide to stay
Step back, observe, and look at what you've become
an illusion to most, and a hero to none.

In the silence or the city streets
your presence always covers me.

Replaying the moment
in my head
it's keeping me up
all night in bed
your lips pressed
to mine
can we just
go back in time
I look at you
and everything slows
Hold me tight
and don't let go.

We build them up
and tear them down
we are ruthless sharks
swimming around

Attacking in the halls of high school
preying on the young and weak
by neglect or by ignoring
all the kids too afraid to speak

We're in this together
why make it so hard
I guess not all of us
can go very far.

It's so nice to just go out and be a kid sometimes
No stress, no school, no family to worry about
Me, my friends, a car, and some loud music
that's what fun is
Black out lights and dark space
Spontaneous parking lot kisses with almost strangers
It's time to just LIVE for a night.

The thoughts of your lips on
mine
Stir some feelings deep in my head
I can't  wait, I'm losing my
mind
I need to take you to
bed

Come on baby, hurry let's
go
I need you to be here with
me
I'll get on top and I'll go real
slow
And in that moment we can simply be.

Walking towards the flame
to become forever changed
woven into this world
I can be free.

The whispering waves were half asleep
the birds had gone to play
and in the trees and in the deep
the smile of nature lay.

Chirping birds and strawberry kisses
are just some of the things she misses
from those lovely summer days
filled with love, laughter, and play.

Don't be ashamed
to put yourself first
Rule #3 in my list of
elements for a happy life
That's what you did
I guess I should do the same.

Don't try to rain on my parade
because I keep an umbrella packed.

It's scary to know
I've met you, the love of my life,
the best of the best
I had you and I lost you
and now you're out there
at arm's length for anyone
to grab and take away forever.

There is an enviable
silence in sadness
don't you think?
