Pretty girl
Someone said this to me. Sent it. It is the most beautiful thing anyone has ever said to me so i thought id share.

I get really jealous when you wear showy clothes because I want to protect you, as my own. I want to hold your hair in my hands and just rub my face against it. Your face provokes a strong need to poke cheeks because yours are so kissable.
My dear,  how adorable you really are...it's a shame I won't get to do any more touching then a hug...
I am so grateful to have people in my life. You will always be my best friend and favorite human.

as the Indian pitches
are always spin prepared
few batsmen ever
get well spared

the bowler's turn
of the ball does the trick
there is that out sound
in the bat's snick

Aussie selectors must be
aware of a slow delivery
when they name the team
who'll carry the livery

quicks are a dead loss
on the subcontinent
time and again this
has been so consistent

if we want to win
a test series on Indian soil
we can't let our eleven
be sent there to boil

the wicket has constantly
favored wrists and fingers
so we don't require
fast stinging zingers
i can't describe the monsters when they get this close
i can't understand the difference between claws and teeth,
it's all just sharp and shiny
nor push forward and pull back
which way will the demons throw me from that sand-drawn line between
absolutely everything and endlessly nothing?
i can't tell you what they look like,
these time eaters, these body snatchers,
these creatures of the late night mind
all i can say is i am so very tired of running
they chase me quickly through the dark halls of a falling manor
in a world running antiparallel to our own
where the air breathes Death instead of life
i break a mirror and jump on the shards
as if the fractured pieces of myself on the floor can pierce my skin and save me
knowing full well the monsters circle closer, an oppressiveness suffocating space
the last drops of moonlight reflecting their mournful cries for me
before i lie down in defeat

i let the monsters i cannot describe burn through my heart, my soul, my eyes
my last hope ringing in my ears
that the world will know i never really wanted to
die.

Stop requested
.
Be
.
Don't you know that I need more?
.
I can feel my nose defrosting
.
I feel like a crow, hopefully chewing at a plastic bag in a grocery store parking lot
.
I want to read a book
.
I don't want to get anxious, so I admire the difference in rings, and count them until I've reached his voicemail box
.
Happy birthday on the tip of my lungs
.
I'm not meant for solos
.
You know when you get water in your nose?
.
Sad with potential
.
Love me again
.
I'll walk away, but you won't see me through the smoke
.
I want to give you all of me
.
I miss you and summer
.
I would stick my hand out the window and ****** the air
.
Bumps in the road
.
Love is hard
.
Very sad month
