Strengthen these arms
for they only exist to hold up the black canopy
that is the night sky

May these legs find purchase
on this expanse of tilth
that has received the boon of yesterday's cry

Feel the cadence of my skipping heart
resulting in the breeze of faltering breaths
lulling you as you lie

Comfort the tremors of these quivering lips
as they whisper forth
promises of mysterious galaxies and
cryptic nebulae

These eyes would cast their gaze;
assuming the role of sentry
guarding from all who would pry

My being... My entirety was put here
so that your bed would remain safe
from future's winds come silent and sly

a
grave
left open
inside me
no roses for
posterity

whirling winds
the stars
will fall
six feet under
ten foot wall

as i lie
here all alone
a heart is
graven
on my
stone

there's a crack
there's a fault
chiseled with
a lightning bolt

all my roses
turn to
rust
~
*ashes
to ashes
dust

to
DUST

I'm lost for words
I don't know how to describe the feeling
Of not feeling
Do I feel?
Do I live?
Does my soul still survive inside
I feel like it left me
Just an empty vessel
Do people still love me?
Do I still love?
I haven't felt love in years
I haven't felt in years
I look at a situation
And wonder
How should I be feeling?
Shouldn't I be feeling?
Shouldn't I be
Should I be at all?
Why am I here?  
Why don't I care if I die?
Why don't I care if I loss her?
Why don't I care if I lose him?
Why can't I feel?

In the Morning
The poet's mind has rest'd
The horse's gallup is pranciest
The miser's greed is mildest
How curious I be-stood holy morn holy morn.

I'm 1
So are you
You tend to be
Mean
Lean on others
Never mean to hurt anybody
But I know you make stupid mistakes
Its common among teens
Yet I expect you to be maybe
More of an adult
Just for me
Addict towards me
For you will never lose hope

Well u had asked me out
But is it true
Yo want to be with me
Or is it just another one of your games
To show off a girl you have
I want you to want me your's
Not just so you can post about me

YoU stab me is pain
YoU accuse me is pain
You hurt me
I dont give you any

So painfully aware of being apart
from that which gives me my breath
helps to maintain the rhythmic beating
of my swollen heart--

So horribly bereft at having said goodbye
to one who has always kept me here
who has cradled me, held me tight
through every moment of every sigh--

So hauntingly sure I will not survive
that life will have no meaning
with you not here to hold, to guard,
to keep me alive--

And so forlornly looking as you saunter away
your laugh, your jokes, your smiles and gentle heart
all that gave me reason to wake up
and live another god-forsaken day--

But so determined this time to carry on
to make it through without you here
to somehow hold myself together without you
and to just make it until the break of dawn...
each time someone gets too close anymore, I have to pull back. This was one of my best friends, then romantic love got in the way and I couldn't handle it and had to say goodbye. I wish I weren't so **** broken inside.
