At first I liked you
because you were nice to me,
but not in the
clingy and desperate way.
And because you would sit
there quietly sometimes,
and look lost in thought.
And then I got to know you.
And realized that I liked everything.
I can remember the first time
I missed you.
You were going away to Iowa
for most of the summer to see your mom.
I sat up half the night
crying, waiting, awake,
hoping to hear you ride
by my house.

I couldn't even hear the crickets.

I put the knife hanging over my heart in your hands
I thought you would keep it safe
But either you didn't care enough
Or I pushed myself to close to you
Either way I made a mistake and
Now I pay for it every day
But especially on Thursdays
And also every Saturday
And always at noon
And even more at 4 AM
But most of all whenever I see you.
Found this in my journal, it's probably from a few months ago

In one moment
Everything is different
Things shift
People change

In that moment
Everything came to a stop
Things became blurry
People vanished.

In our moment
Everything was quite
Things slowed
We were so close

In the moment
You pulled me closer
We locked eyes
Then your lips were on mine

In one moment
Everything was different with us.
Things became greatly shifted
And people watched as I
Fell for you again.

It's like soda-
Bubbly. Sweet.
It's like sun-
Warm. Bright.
It's like movies-
Neverending. Timeless.

I want to live a life where I can wake up
every morning to the sun rising over the ocean,
and a place I can watch the sun set over a forest.

I want to have a German Shepard jumping at my feet
when I open the door and get back from work
work -nothing extraordinary, just something enjoyable.

I want to be able to kiss my significant other
and run my hands through his messy hair
and hear his sleepy voice tell me he loves me
just as much as I love him.

I want a simple life,
but simple seems to be the new complicated.

I am not the girl of your dreams
I am not the girl who you text at 3 am because you can't sleep
I am not the girl who you think of when you're alone
I am not the girl you want to get to know

To walk among the living
cursed to be the dead
I understand the fear inside
because I bathe in dread
and to sleep a peaceful night
with fate dancing on my head
leaves a taste of rotting premonitions
upon my tongue instead

*Beware of your surroundings
wash the evil off your hands
We are no longer safe from Satan
he has kissed the promised land
And when war ceased to erase
the common fault of man
There will be an entire wave of famine
birthed from the smallest grain of sand
Inspired by the war and Ebola crisis. Our world wide issues have become irreversible and now both will run their course.

The static is visible, it dances violently
Phosphorescent vibrations scribble suspended in time and space
Electric like a mid day sky and yet the sight of it makes me uneasy
It follows me as I walk in the dark so I can see my way

The rain in this place falls backward
The silvery pools seem to evaporate before my eyes
But it feels good to know the clouds are waiting up in the sky
So light and airy, arms open wide

The streets are empty and I can’t see too far
The static keeps me company as I walk
I’ve always felt like I was sinking
But now I want to become the rain

I ask too many questions I think
I want to understand
If I were meant to be here things wouldn’t be so bland

And the thunder rolls across the hills
Thwacks the buildings on their backs
The bare streets come alive with silver pools

My mind is like a spool of yarn coming undone in crimson yarn
Stained with the wrong color, who put it there?

Blue people dancing gracefully
The curtains turn into wind, swirling, golden breeze
The castle grows taller, Orange leaves
It heaves and rattles, begins to breathe
I see her eyes, glowing, glistening
A blue so radiant, like early dusk sky
Back and forth we dance and twirl
The castle heaves and weaves and floats into the sky
Slowly but surely, higher than high
The fiddle the fiddle, it's sweet nectar come
We feed from it, ever longer
We see the gods now, greeting us with open arms as the golden gables reach the clouds
And the fiddle grows ever louder and louder
We dance faster now

The sound of your voice is the sweetest sound any being has ever uttered
In it I hear the passion of a lover
The tenderness of a mother
The endless beauty of a human like no other

Between each word is a cosmic chord
Icicles chiming in stellar wind
The most beautiful melody that made Gods cry
And goddesses nostalgic for their own lovers sigh

Tales of sailors lost out at sea
Finding their way back with the stars in the heavens
Lost in the songs of mermaids humming in bliss
That’s what your voice sounds like to me

The breath of the ocean ever present
The glow of the moonlight phosphorescent
The trees swaying in a mid-summer breeze
The northern lights presiding over a deep freeze
"What brings us together pulls us apart"

Dripping words,
Pains of silence
Closed out, definitely alone
The past you cannot see
Crying pain....

Breath too shallow
Came from ringlets of devotion
Joined the old, with the new
Now forever gone, torn apart
Forevermore.............

Beautiful colors blowing away
Beautiful bridges that are after me
makes me turn my head once again
back to what I could have been ....

I don't want to fall apart
I don't want to cry and bleed
I just want to love you all
Please help me be myself again ...*
