Some people burn bridges just to watch the flames
Lapping at their heels in a psychotic rage
Hypnotised by the colours like rage in their heart
Destroying it all the bad and the good all gone
Reduced to chared timbers no way to walk back
Have you any idea of your chaos inside
So go burn those bridges and laugh at the flames
Don't swim back to me the shores blown away

I had finished tonight, Readings done tea drunk
Then as I tried to sleep I picked up my phone
I read a poem from girl a who feels alone
Betrayed by a boy who cherished another
Emotionally hurt and so in pain
Yet she wrote about it
She wrote in imagery that moved me
My day was as abhorrent as hers yet I had no words
I couldn't write as she did nor paint the picture
She apologized for her outburst
The most moving soul bearing write
Yet apologized.
So long as she writes an old **** like me will read
To be reminded of the love hurt pain and joy
To feel life, to be moved
May I suggest you sample her world
Live a day of her life in words and be humbled

Bad day-bad times Katy Moran

Then tell me if I'm wrong.

Excuse me
While I melt here in front of you.

Look at how amazing he is.
He really takes my breath away.
He is going to do great things, look at what he is already doing for the community.
Why is he with me?
You have nothing to offer him.
Nothing important.
He shines so brightly.
He's a hero.
How could you compete?
You aren't even on the same level as him.
He deserves someone better, someone as wonderful as he is.
You are so needy.
Look at yourself.
Melting and blushing and searching for praise.
This is why everyone else left.
You love too easily and too much.
You are worthless and ugly and slobbish and selfish.
Oh look, now you're crying too.
This happens every time Tessa, you always fall in this same hole.
Did you ever completely climb out?
Hang on a second.
Stop it.
You're overreacting.
How did things come to this?
He held you in his arms last night.
Voluntarily.
That has to mean something.
Calm down.
Stop it.
You are stronger than this.
He chose you, remember?
Stop talking to yourself.
Entertaining the voices in your head is how you mess things up.
Every time life becomes kind to you, you search for the faults.
Why should this be so impossible?
Why aren't you allowed to be happy for once?
You can do this.
You deserve this.
These are the thoughts he vowed to help you stop.
It's time to trust a little, and let him.
Open up.
You're shutting love out again.
You know if he were here, he would hug you sobbing
And tell you to
*please, just put down the knife.

What You Deserve

I love you.
You mean the world to me.
Your eyes still give me butterflies.
Poetry could never explain you perfectly enough.

Except I messed up.
These sentiments are getting lost in a mass of breakdowns and pity parties.
You are the rock I cling onto when the stormy winds get too strong.
But that doesn't mean you deserve to be faced by a stone heart.

I have received a reality check.
I am finally coming to realize how lucky I am to have you by my side.
Its time that I offer some explanation for the crazy constellation thoughts that build up in my head.

"Do or do not. There is no try."
A quote I think you'd like.
So this is my vow to us, darling.

I will kiss you on a regular basis.
I will look up at a full moon and feel your hand in mine.
I will love my freckles.
I will love my body.

I will believe you when you tell me that I am beautiful.
I will sit beside you and enjoy the silence when your mouth is swollen shut.
I will sit beside you and enjoy the silence when the sunrise brings tears to my eyes.
I will share every tear with you, whether they be mine or yours.

I will worry less openly over your safety, as it only clouds the pride in your duty.
I will follow my dreams.
I will work hard until I sweat, because in sweat you cannot drown.

I will always remember that things could be worse.
I will be stronger in myself and be more confident in who I am.
I will hold your hand whenever there is a needle.

I will love every single piece of you.
Even the icky gut parts.
Somehow you make them gorgeous.

I will tell you "I love you" and mean it with my heart and soul.

Because maybe, just maybe, there will be a time in our future that we don't have an expiration date.
I am willing to place my bets on that.

When you're drowning in a bucket...

Then someone kicks it.
Just one of those days.
