Times can be stressful
When you are going through a change
Nothing seems certain
As things get rearranged
Matters can be puzzling
No one can seem to understand
Implement an ideal strategy
That can be a great plan

I put you on my wall today
          As soon as I got home
              And I smilled at how you were crooked
                   And I tilted my head to really see you

      And that's when the water sloshed out of my ears and I was drowning

                      Your eyes became bubbles that helped me breathe
              When I sucked them in
  
       I became one with the pressure
The fluctuating force that I knew all to well
         Spilling from my ears like a cloud too heavy to hold its weight
    
             You drift off the wall and float with me, fragile, yet permanent and meaningful in my mind

I had never met a man
Who kissed my insecurities,
Tended my distorted perceptions,
And traced lips across my scarred skin.

I was worthy to be lavished upon.
In your eyes, I was more than a trophy.
My figure was temptful but valued;
Every penny was well-spent.

You brought back what should have been.
My previously unmet expectations
Brought my hopes down;
Your gentleness built them back up again.

We may not have worked out...
But your pursuit taught me a lesson:
I am lovely and fine with being "incomplete"
Three adventurous months with you... were enough for me.
For NM

I don't know if all of this makes sense. But, thank you for tending my wounds. Thank you for reminding me of what I deserve (and what I don't). For showing me how I should (and shouldn't) be treated. I am lovely; I should be treated as such.

Unsure of a title.

Chilly winters
where your frozen fingertips feel like splinters
across my gentle skin

do you even care?

That im here wasting away
your smile plagues me
my words begin to sound like a sad melody

do you even care?
do you even care?

These cigarettes are making me lightheaded
the bed doesnt feel the same
Your laugh is all that plays

repeatedly,
repeatedly,

These sad songs dont suit me
but you're entrusted in my memory
saved
but unwillingly
I'll sing sweet songs and drink till
Im smiling endlessly

repeatedly
repeatedly

The moon is up,
high in the sky.
Just beyond my reach,
at least in reality.
For in my dreams everything is possible.
Even touching the moon.
I was in a sarcastic and poetic mood when someone asked me "what's up?" hence my answer
is not supposed to mean anything

it floats like a bubble

and then it pops

and there is

wonder

and then its

over

do not ask the why of things

The night has just begun
Let's go out and have some fun
Let's drive to the open fields
Let's relax and drop our shields
Let's forget about the world
And let our livers be curled..
...with enjoyment
Tonight let's not worry about a thing
Winter's almost gone..it's time for spring
It's past midnight
The time just feels right
Let the moon and the stars lead the way
Tonight with you i wanna sway
Tonight...I wanna fly
Follow the open sky
And reach where the horizon meets the earth
Tonight i wanna be filled with mirth
Every night the sky has a story to tell
The earth has a different smell
In the magic of the moonlight let us dwell
Let us dive into the cold river
And let our bodies quiver
Tonight everything seems to be in harmony
Under the sheet of stars let us explore anatomy
Nights like these are rare
Let us dispel our fears and dare..
...the dark

I'm wasting my young years,
Living in a cage of my own making.

We needs goodbyes,
To write hello
On a new life,
A new dimension.
