Hundreds of miles is where he is
And also my heart which is stone hard
Hopefully he has it kept safe
In his jean pocket, or maybe in a jar
Why
Do we have to be so far?
Why
Does this have to be so hard?

I'm just a young girl who's lonely
And who's slowly
falling apart
little by little
My skin is paper thin
And my body is. weak and brittle
Why is this life an
Unsolved riddle?
Why am I always stuck in the middle?
Why do I taste the fruit that is bitter?
I want him here to hold me when I cry
Without him
its like trying to live underwater
There's noway you could survive
But into his waters I want to dive
Why is sadness a regularity?
Why do I want to always die?
Why is my breath just a constant sigh?
I have nothing
You have it all
I'm the sun shining
you are gravity
Without you, I will fall.
I'm an artist
Without a pencil
How can I draw?
I'm a guitar without strings
How can I play you a song?
Will the pain go on forever this long?
Did I do anything wrong?
The sun beams
And I dream
Of the days I wont constanly weep
Of the nights I can finally sleep
But this can not be
Until I'm laying next to you
Forever you and me
Is this what you've been waiting for too?
Will you promise me eternity?
Without you
Simply I cannot be
Without you
Truly I cannot see
Will you stay forever?
Promise you won't leave?
In me, will you alway believe?
Distance won't ruin us
Wait & you will see
Distance did ruin us.

To put it simply,
We
Are made of nothing
But brittle skin
& fragile bones
That will end up
Completely worthless
Left alone for eternity
to rot.
Our red blood
Sails throughout our veins
Like a sailor
On the calm ocean;
But once the wind begins to stir
The oceans become
Rough  
And you're left there
to eventually drown.
Our hearts,
All serve the same purpose;
To beat to the rhythm
Of the song
that keeps your body from shutting down, that keeps you breathing.
It has the most complex job,
Such a fragile thing
That is expected to
Take care of so much.
The heart is where
Your deepest secrets lie.
Where your fears are hidden.
Where pain left its marks.
Your dreams are burried deep within.
Your favorite memories,
Along with the bad ones too,
Are swimming around inside.
Our hearts,
Are made up
Of things we cannot humanly explain;
It is beyond being capable
Of truly being expressed with
Mere words on a page
That will be crumbled up
Thrown out,
Never serving
any true purpose.
There are Things
In the heart
That will overpower it all;
Every detail in your life
Is now determined
On the unknown effect
it will leave.
Things,
That will make you see
Mountains with endless heights,
When there's really only
Hills in front of you
That you can walk on top of
And crush.
Our hearts,
They are consisted
And constructed
For the action
Of
Loving and being loved,
Even if vulnerable.

My heart,
To sum it all up,

Is made up
Of all the things
You do
That keep me breathing
That keep me from dying

You, are my heart.

I'm finally content
With being here,
Left all alone.
I'm fully aware
That even though
I'm fragile,
There's
Not a single soul
No, no one,
Who will be there
To pick up
And try to reconstruct
The shattered remains
Of  my bones

I've told myself I'll never forgive you
For what you've done and said to me
But deep down I know you didn't
Truly Mean all that mean ****
I Eventually began to believe
You were hurt, I know I was too
But why didn't we stick together
And try to make it through?
The **** we were forced to deal with
It brought us closer
Even if only for a short time
But that's the past all of the good times
They're gone, all left behind
And I'm left with nothing but
Bitterness towards you
You can't expect me to know what to do
I won't apologize
Even if I realize
You were putting up a wall
A disguise
Its hard for you to show your emotions
To put them into action
So you get mad, an immediate reaction
But listen dad this is my way to say
I don't hate you
I just hate the things
that got in the way
Of our bright days
There were the times you were the only
One I had
When mom was in rehab
we really had
Eachother's backs
But look at us now,
We don't speak a single word
Mainly because I resent the past
The things we once said out of anger
were disturbingly absurd
But this isn't about what you did wrong
Or anything that went on in the past
I just want to give the forgivness
To you, so we can be in peace at last
You know, I need to stop and say to you
There isn't ever a day that goes by
When I don't think of you
When I don't think about all the good things you've done for us all
Yeah sometimes you weren't here but you never let us fall
Especially 17 years ago when I was just born
And you decided to stay with mom and me, when you
Could have just walked out the door
And I will never be able to say how much
That truly means to me
My dad, that, you will always be.
So,
Maybe one day ill have the power in my heart to read this to you
So you can understand,
And know the truth
I love you and
forgive you, dad,
This letter is my proof.

1.) Looking to the sky
The sun fades away my pain
For once I feel whole


2.) *The moon up above
a Mother to all the stars

You're nothing but the ground I walk on, depending on the weather and seasons you could be the warm green grass tickling in between my toes
Or you cold be the cold winter snow numbing me inside and out
You're nothing but the clouds up in the sky
Or maybe the stars
Either way, you can never seem
To stay too long.
You're nothing but the winds in the air that pass through ever so briskly yet calmingly
Always Leaving me breathless
You're nothing but the christmas lights
Filling houses with vibrant colors and happiness in december
But its january now
And the bulbs are burnt out
But still they hang lifelessly
And broken
You're nothing but the flowers in a vase
At first so beautiful
With such a lovely aroma
That look so pretty sitting out
For everyone to look at
And admire
But now the petals have fallen off
And the dead flowers hang down
You're nothing but the waves in the ocean
Always leaving
Then coming back to crash down
With intense force and power
You're
Nothing

Yet, You're everything.

We are not flowers
That bloom
Then die

We are not butterflies
That flutter
And float by

We are not fire
That burns for a little
Then turns to ashes

We are not time
That quickly passes

So please promise me
Your love for me won't fade away
Like the stars in the early morning sky do
Because they simply cannot stay
