Love is like
pressing into your skin and
leaving a mark.
Love is like
riding a hundred roller coasters
in one day,
and remembering the feeling
as you lay in bed at night.
Love is like sitting in the ocean
and letting the waves push you
and tug on you,
and remembering the way
they fought over you on your
way home after
sunset.
Love in engraved on your skin
and sketched into your brain,
love can not be unfelt
only forgotten with
time, time and
more time;
and maybe not even then.
I wish I was your
One and only rather than
Your one of many

What if I woke up to find myself of a completely different identity
of a completely different world
where my talents are acknowledged
and I'm not exactly obsolete?

For once, I would be content.
I wish.
what a farce  - 25th September 2012
You wouldn't understand. It's not because I have an undeveloped mind nor have I a childlike mind. It may seem worthless to you but they're the best things in my life. I see myself in them. And I learn from them. They make me happier than a person could or other things may.

Basking in self-pity,
I pour myself a  drink.
Time alone always gives you
plenty of time to think.

Standing on the edge of the abyss;
I am on the brink.
And I just can't get over it.
Only further,
I seem to sink.

"You again, with your self-pity"
Is what you'd probably say.
Because you'd rather I pretend
that everything's okay.

I guess I'm guilty of being honest
in a world consumed by lies.
A world where it's easier to ignore,
walk away,
and close your eyes.
You are the twinkling stars
that light up
my night sky:
constant,
full of hope,
beautiful,



Distant.

Broken

it has been a while since I've seen in your eyes,
another spark to **** me.
i know it from your smile how you tell another lie,
enough of your scars to fill me.

i see you falling asleep again and I wonder,
if this will be your last.
in all the beauty you feed I'm still a stranger,
begging back my heart.

your flesh against mine, as you wake in my arms-
I've never been more afraid.
stained sheets and spilled wine, I don't feel warm-
in whispers your love forbade.

i see you staring at me like you can't find a morrow,
passing another night in lies and cold.
you took everything but me and now I'm hollow,
how i see you slowly growing old.

it has been a while since I've heard you cry,
i hope the tears won't burn you within.
i know how your love seeps near and pries
i don't believe what you've turned me in.

hearing you breathe, as another moment grieves in silence-
in words that'll never drown the ocean.
If I could leave, i know my heart would still crave the violence-
in a world that crowns the broken.

The redundancy of you saying you didn't love him back
was the only thing that gave me the strength
to wake up in the morning
When you told me you loved him
my heart was pulled out
of its already beaten down cage
and put in the middle of the highway
to be tortured again.
Lord, I don’t know what I’m doing
Or where my life is going,
But I know that without your leading,
It’ll just be endless roaming.

I’ve looked at my past and present,
And my future doesn’t look bright
Unless I accept Your leadership
And give in to your calling tonight.

I’m asking for help ‘cause I need it:
I need you most desperately;
I can’t live this life without it:
I need help immeasurably.

I’m tired, exhausted, of being alone
And giving in to loneliness;
I’ve realized that that’s You, calling me
It’s you wanting my brokenness.

Because when I have no one,
I have You;
There’s no one I need more,
But I forget the truth.

Please keep reminding me
Of how much I need Your love;
It’s not that You won’t give it,
But that I don’t think it’s enough.

I don’t want to keep searching,
I’ve done this all before:
I know that it ends in sorrow;
Your light is what I look for.

So please take me, it’s hopeless:
Without you I am done;
I’m giving up on myself
And accepting that You’ve won.

I know You’ll take me,
Of the little I do know…
It’s a comfort I find
A Friend who will never go.

You fill the longing deep inside
That I cannot comprehend
You’re the road before me
In a sea of stone dead-ends.

So don't let me forget it,
How I am completely Yours;
I cannot have grounds for despair
When I am on Your shores.
