I've left my footprints in the sand
Feeling your warmth leave my hand
I stop to soak in what has come and gone
Feeling alone and withdrawn

I'm bombarded by vicious visuals of my living fears
and everything I could ever revere
I'm a glass tank with only one shot
For the pain, I'll give you what I've got

Take me and my lacerated soul
Find the glass that cuts the deepest hole
Just be gentle with your hand
I'm at my most vulnerable and at your command

In return I'll love you to a fault
I'll bath you in my returning light as a result
You save my life every day, with nothing to even say
I even fell in love with myself today

I left my footprints in the sand
And felt the warmth return to my hand
I stop to soak in what has come and gone
Feeling more alive every waking dawn

Have you ever felt this way?
So empty.
So lost.
Like a raft in the ocean.
So fragile.
So alone.
Like being alone in a crowded room.
So much chaos,
Yet so quiet.
Like a falling leaf;
Now, free
Yet, dying.
Like a flower planted in a soil;
Dancing
Yet, holding back.
Like me,
Existing
but
not
*Living.

Human nature
Is to defend
And to love
Those to whom
We are close
Or have been
In the past

Animal nature
Is to scurry
Or to fight
Those who
They do not understand
Or have not
In history

I think about this
And get confused
That i seem
To be dealing
With animals
Rather than
Human beings

I look at the two moons in the east
Point to them with my index finger,
Thumb pointing up, like a gun, and say:
"Bang, bang."

I feel as if I am drowning under the weight of thousand words unspoken,
feel still lost in the I's and the eyes on the tip of my tongue and teeth in my lips in your eyes in your lips.

If I could unblock the rot and make the heartache stop.
If I could rewind the time and decamp this vast desert filled with landmines.
If I could start over again and just pretend, that this is surely not my trying to fend for myself, would you hold me with your touch, caress and noone else?

If my life was to be taken away
                 All I would want my tombstone to say,
knowing this for sure,
                 Is that **"I got to meet her."

in another universe  
It's summer
Your laugh still sounds the same
and your smile is still contagious
Your favorite color is still orange
the smell of rain floods into the room
we are tangled up together
we share stories
You promise to be mine forever

in this universe
It's winter
a boy in my class has a laugh that reminds me of yours
I stopped sitting by him
I see your smile in your pictures with her
Remember when I told you my favorite color was purple?
It's not anymore  
I'm sure yours still isn't orange
It's cold all the time now
It doesn't smell like rain
I'm laying alone in the blanket you bought me
I didn't know forever only lasted 3 years

I have seen lonely places
But where do broken hearts go?
Do they look for home?
But where do broken hearts go
If home is where they just came from?

So where do broken hearts go?
Do they find somewhere new out there?
Or are they too broke to even care?

Where do broken hearts go?
Do they wait to meet another broken heart
So together they could make a start?

Oh where do broken hearts go?
I wish I do know
Where I'm going.
