you walk in
and its like the sun shines brighter
my heart races too fast
but it beats into a knife
because the more you make me happy
the worse the pain when I remember
how far I'll always be from your touch
do you know how hard it is
to love you
to know it may never be the right time
that you love me
that I love you
and our only enemy is fear
of losing what we can't live without
so what can I do?
when I can't risk losing him
but I can't stand not having him
it's not suppose to be like this
it's too soon
it's too easy
it can't be real
and yet... it somehow is

it's a fairy tale
but i can't trust it
and I'm ******* it up

we met as children
how was I to know
you were just a cute guy across the table
but you saw me when I wasn't much to see
perfect first love

than camp ended
and I saw the reality of it
and made a decision to stay your friend

we grew up
yet not apart
and everyday it got harder
until finally we admitted
we were still in love with our first loves

yet I held back
how could I move forward
when there was so much to lose

I love you
you love me
but it was too perfect
how could I trust prince charming
when I don't feel like a princess

and every step of the way
I've ******* up
and you've looked past it

prince charming?
7 years
I still can't trust it
and for some reason
you still love me
Stop showing
You love me
A little at a time.

Stop saying
You care
Bit by bit.

Stop keeping
Me here
For tiny pieces of time.

Because I need
All of you
Not piece by piece.

I love
All of you
Not just some parts of you.

So love all of me
All the way
All the time.

Or let all of me go
All at once
For good.

a shudder, a sigh -
without release,
                          you press on
without moving,
                          I leave
She walks into my room,
Across the endless sand of these dunes
I lay waiting on my comfy bed.
Sinking into the fine warmth.
I hide from the only light in the room,
Under the shade of another dune.
She approaches and falls into my arms.
Slowly being buried in desert.
I run my hand through her hair
Then pull my fingers out of the sand
Her hair flips and twirls down
While the sand pours out of my palm
She glows in the light of the falling sun
The fibers of the light bulb failing.
She slowly gets up and leaves.
The wind blowing her sand off of me
Just as the sun reaches its set,
Her distant silhouette blows a kiss
As the glass smothers the spark,
These dunes hold my last breath.
I crumble into sleep.
All-knowing,
My great lord:
From the eternal palace,
Wherein we serve,
On the field of Sahiga,
Looking back
At the isles far offshore:
Where on the fresh, clean shoreline
With the blowing of the wind,
Breakers roar
And with the ebbing of the tide,
They go cutting jewelled seaweed:
From the age of gods
An awesome,
Jewelled mountain isle.
No, ashes no longer fall
From the sky

Those diamonds are precious
Between your thighs

And that pounding in your chest
Fossil fuel, so indespensable
Can keep someone like me full

I'm a minner ready to fall
Into you, most valuable ore

The mere thought of you
Can warm me more
Than coal or wood

You can heat my heart,
Set my body ablaze
A thousand degrees higher
Then lava consuming land

No, ashes no longer fall
From this sky

You must have come
To save me

How brave we,
Knowing love is dangerous
Knowing it can fail,
Trying with no fear or avail

My manifestation of love,
You rise from the shadows
Letting me know I can be yours

Like warm water dew drops
I see you trying to attempt
To hydrate, fortify this force of nature

No, ashes no longer fall
From our sky

Taking it one precious step at time
If our paths allows us
Like two cells engineering one being
Living one life knowing we have each other

The unstable mind of the infinite girl slowly starts to crumble as he ascends from hell into her forsaken kingdom.
The mirror tells him that his impish looks gives him an undeniable handsome.
She knows that the insanity hidden behind her blood stained eyes is what drives his incurable lust for her.
His insatiable need to be one of two is how he causes hurt.
What is she getting herself into by playing in his hidden eden of ecstasy?
He latches on to the first thing he sees in the vicinity.
The scars of their intimate charade reappears in the moonlight as he devours what's left of her mistaken innocence.
In the attempt to mold her into something like him she seems to have lost her very essence.
She screams into the night hoping that his deaf ears will finally hear the cries of his once infinite girl.
The faint sound of the night breezes past his ears as ponders his next assault on this world.
She'll drift through the seamless passages of time and space to regain what's little left of her impure soul.
His next mission will not fail, he will meet his goal.
She clings onto the memories of their past lives as he holds her meaningless death in the palm of his demon claws.
To create something perfect like him, and rid the world of things like her and all her flaws.
She waited for the sweet nectar that death will bring only to realize that her heaven lays with God's fallen angel.
To be the world's savior, to be the world's angel.
