"It's always that easy. The problem is, you don't want to bury it."*

Lock it away, seal the case,
never let it surface or touch your face,
a simple caress, a broken sigh,
it's about time you've said goodbye.

A memory pressed against my cheeks,
I haven't  heard from him in weeks,
it throbs, it hurts, it makes me cry,
why won't this incessant feeling die?

Living, breathing, beating soul,
why must you hurt me so?
Please rid me of this tattered heart,
mend me, lest I fall apart.

Burn it, ban it, **** it now,
these feelings you must disavow,
with fragile lips you kiss farewell,
may these pains part ways from me in Hell.
Shout out to CR for the inspiration. I appreciate the talk we had.
(He's the one quoted at the top of the poem.)
He asks her to write a song for him,
She composes for him, her poetry...
                                                      ­  
                                                        He asks her to tell him a bed-time story
                                                        Sh­e lulls him with her poetry...

He asks her to sing a song for him,
She recites to him her poetry...

                                                     ­            He asks her to dance with him,
                                                            ­   She moves him with her poetry...
                                                  
He asks her, to be his girl.
She smiles, *and gives him her poetry...
Poetry is what makes her.
Draft.

i wonder if you can see
     a single beauty in me
  just like I see the whole universe
           in you.

Today I crossed the sea of love
Guided by a albino dove
I rode the my raft quite a way
'Till I ran aground upon your bay

Today I rode the sea of hell
Caught underneath your witch-like spell
I rode the waves 'Till I saw land
And off I got onto burning sand

Today I rode the sea of death
Watching you breath less and less
Then as you passed off up above
I cursed the dreaded sea of love...

I used to think
The only way to not be
Scared of monsters was to become one

So I *did
