Three months ago
I cut
I cut until my veins ran dry
I cut until my skin turned white
I cut until my sheets were black
And all the world fell back

Today, this day
I cut once more
I cut until my legs were sore
I cut until my eyes weren't green
I cut until my soul felt clean
I cut until I collapsed
Never thought I would relapse

I press my ear to the door of the seekers,
flames from the heart of a phoenix light my path like lanterns across the sky is now the glimmer in my eyes.
Hope.

Its raining again cried the queen of hearts,
when speaking with the jester.
The king of hearts got really jealous.
Such a silly card was he.

The queen of hearts she bowed and scraped.
with full respect intact.
The jester was a nuisance.
Wrong place.
Wrong time.
Always was
Joker man,.
He spent his life pestering her pretty  face.
Jester needs to let her be.
The king of clubs,
A party chap.
Queen of clubs, she partied too.
Far too much 'twas said.
She thought jesters conduct was really rather wrong.
As she passed the regal ****.
The queen of diamonds, she wore another royal ring.
She didn't want the diamond king.
Thrashed his great reputation.
The queen of hearts was her sweet lover.
A secret pact.
Twas, based on luck.
The chance of never getting caught.
Made such a pretty pair.
They did.
Two ladies in red.
They had an affair.
The jester crept into the room.
Saw the king of hearts distress on hearing this dark news.
Snatched the hand of the king of hearts.
Stole him by the hand.
The king of hearts was also gay.

Serenading the house.
The babies' awake.
Buckets louder than the resident mouse.
We're not shaken but everyone stirred to the volume of that cute little bird.
(C) Livvi

a woman grieves for what she's lost to this world.
said she's been having trouble sleeping, but he knows she's been sleeping fine.
old habits or wishful thinking?
maybe it's a sign, this song.
a hopeful sonnet despite the rain.
against a storm of thunder and of pain.
said she'd prayed for peace, but he knew she'd prayed for plagues.
and he can only imagine.

I want to love you
Until it breaks me
And until it hurts me.

I want to love you
And I don't mind
As long as it is you.

I want to love you
Forever, darling.

Sometimes
I feel
As if the walls are caving in
Or maybe the world is caving in
It's all my fault
I destroy everything
Everything goof
I am worthless
People regret talking to me
They know that I'm trash
And so do I
Once they realize it
They just toss me around until I'm in the trash
I just wish it would stop
Everything needs to stop caving in
I know how to fix it
Maybe I should just leave
Everything would be better

A clock, where time
Does not move;
A ruler, where space is
Nonexistent;
A candle in the middle
Of a burning star;
Letters, when language
Is forgotten;
A stolen life, without
Curiosity;
Tracks and ties, naked
Of trains;
Clouds, without the puppies
We see in them;
A writer, without a story
To write;
A destination, without
The journey;
People, without each
Other. . .

Maybe even me on a Sunday,
Without you beside me?

I will choose you,
No matter what's going on.
If I'm cursing the world,
Or falling in love with everyone,
You're still it.

Everything about me chooses you.
Everything I do chooses you.
I know this because even though it's obvious that my happy chooses you,
So does my sad.

Every part of me chooses you.
I know this because no matter where I am,
My eyes will always be looking for you.
My ears will always turn to your voice.

My heart is affected by everything you say to me.

I could be offered the crowd;
A flood of people choosing me.

And I will always choose you.
