I think this *** makes more sense than you ever could.
The part that thinks it wouldn't, knows of course it should.

In my drunken haze, I run naked in the rain.
The stars let me know there's no need to live in shame.
Do we not dream of places where the dead are no longer dead and faces are easily changed from person to person.
The rain may be nothing more than our hopes crashing around us.
Maybe it soaks us.
Maybe your tears mix with the rain and become your fears crashing along with your hopes.
So you run. You run as fast as you can.
And your sweat pours out and falls with the rain and the tears.
Let your sweat be your guide.
Let it be your rage aginst this world.
Let it be life.
Let your dreams fill with hope and fear and rage.
Flood this world with it and drown.
Drown and life and become whole.
He's the little white lie tucked away in the corner of your cheek,

in the crevice of your teeth.

He's the truth in the biggest lie you keep tucked away,

hidden underneath your pillow at night when the bare limbs of the trees sway.


He's yellow--

the sun in the rain,

during midday.


He's the one that is there to impress,

the one that said he loved you,

and left.
Your hand warm under my skin
I feel you like the sun's breath
Touching me on a winter day
As we sat against each other
Staring into each other's galactic eyes
We see a future
Where stars aligned starts to drift
Away from their places in the galaxy

I placed my hand against your heart
Feeling the drum beat beneath my nerves
Hearing a song that you never sang for me
I held back tears that felt like streams of water
Rushing against a current of memories
You are here
Beneath my skin aching every breath
When your eyes started to tell me

Goodbye.

Can I be the one
to dig my nails into your flesh, gently
bite down, reaching to your soul
I wish to taste your skin and every scar held within
maybe, if you let me, my lips can heal them
I would kiss you relentlessly
even if to no avail
can I just be the one to try
I need to make you feel to make me heal

I waited, watching the leaves change into red, brown and orange hues
I waited, while the snow blanketed the ground, kissing the Earth cold as ice
I waited, until blades of grass poked their heads out of the soil, shy yet coy      
I waited, in scorching sun, blinding me, searing my skin golden brown
I waited, while this cycle recurred year after year
I became old
You never came
I wake up and you are not there.
Hopefully I am still asleep.
But then I realize you left me
And I don't blame you in the slightest.
Rhyming can be important when you want to write a line.
Keeping form and texture with specific poetic time.
Make sure to count the syllables and make sure they all fit...
Then you can astound the world with a sharp and rapier wit!
If you think you cannot make a rhyme, fear not! Look and see!
Potato potato potato potato potato potato ***.

:D
