All I ever hear anymore are four letter words and the three word sentences that you desperately want hanging from your tongue.

Darling, I have lived hundreds of days without you and I am bound to live hundreds more.

Wrinkles in my sheets will still make shadows.
I will still run my teeth over my lips.

I think everyone is as alone as I am. They are just too scared to write about it.

They say it’s simple
But I don’t think it is.
Because sometimes
You fall in love
When you would rather
Stand tall.

Sometimes you fall in love
With a stone wrapped
Around your feet
That you yourself
Tied there.

Sometimes you try
So hard to fall in love
You find yourself
Stumbling for acceptance.

And sometimes
You fall in love so gradually
You could’ve sworn
You’d been standing all along
But if that’s so,
How am I
More in love
Than anyone I know?

it is an
infinitely
more beautiful thing
to leave
with the stars
clutched in your palms
than to fade
into trickled away time.

I want to witness and be fully present when Your thunder arrives, the thought of it excites my soul.

I want to break out the window of intellect and become infinitely lost in You. 

Your beauty surrounds me and wraps me up, taking me to a place of deep adoration and complete silence.

Just by writing this it shows my attempt to try and obtain You with language but the least I can say is thank You.

My heart yells out a beautiful symphony out to You Father, that only You understand and noone else knows its structure like You do for You constructed it.

You brought music into it therefore my brain functions in such a way that I find myself often wanting so desperately to write how grateful I am for every second of life You give me but, it is not enough.

I stand lost in my mind most of the time, swimming in my thoughts of praise, in awe of all You do.

The mystery I love is You.
I want to sink in it.
Wander and find.
More blessings are to come and I am standing with open arms, heart and mind to try to conceive them. And grow deeper in love with You.

You’re as tempermental as the thermostat
in my grandfather’s farmhouse,
always bouncing between freezing and scorching,
even when it’s a steady temperature outside.
You’re working on that.

You’ve never been in love,
but you told me you would be
as soon as I let you kiss my scars,
and promise there would be no new ones.
I’m working on that, too.

I rolled over onto my back.
I reached up and wiped the sand beaches from the water line of my eyes.
My gaze fell to rest focusing on the corner of my ceiling where three planes came to an infinitesimal point.
The stale air reluctantly circled over and over through the whirling dervish blades of my floor fan.
I tossed to the left. My shoulder embossed with the intricate design of the thin sheets.
I ran my fingertips over every sullen divot in my flesh.
They felt like the imprints of dusty fingertips you left on my soul.
And though I knew better, I blamed you entirely for those wagon wheel ruts, muddy canyons I am still striving to cross over.
I realized it would only take two planes for us to meet.
The newborn air gladly pushing up the wings.
The plane indenting itself into the sky like a seal into melted wax, like the convex curve of a line.
But some lines are never supposed to truly meet.
Like the horizon.
The sky and the sea.
Running parallel.
Running indefinitely.

If I fell
Who would you tell?
I fell for you
And you never even knew
Feelings compromised?
I'm quite surprised
That you never even knew
That I fell head over heels for you
I always looked right at you
Made sure to smile wide too
The things I said were well thought out
I was cautious, flaked with doubt
Was I sweet, does he think I'm nice?
I began ignoring my friends advice
Months later I still write about you
And it's because I wish that
You had fallen for me too
Inspiration from the Beatles song "If I Fell"
