It was the way you looked at me,
when you told me you loved me.
It was the way you smiled,
when you said you wanted me forever.
It was the way you touched me,
when you almost lost me.
It was all those things,
that made me feel that for once,
I was getting what I truly needed.
And that was you.
the stars and the moons
the sun and the clouds;
maybe between the days and the nights
lies a parallel universe
where the lines are broken.
however I wish
that hopefully one day
you will be able to travel
into this universe with me.
and we will, be free and lost
in our own world.

I wish I knew why he left. What his reasons were.
Why he changed his mind.

For all these years, I have turned it over in my
head--all the possibilities--yet none of them make
any sense.

And then I think, perhaps it was because he never
loved me. But that makes the lease sense of all.*

Use the map
That's printed on my body
If you want to find me
If you want to know ME
If you want to know my feelings
Follow the map

Follow the signs
And the trails etched on my being
The marks or construction,
And the marks of destruction.
Follow the map that snakes up my legs
And across my hips
Follow the map to find my soul.
We always used to play cowboys
take 5 steps in each direction
count down, then shoot, or give in
5...4...3...2...1..
BANG!
i'd always lose
but only because you never surrendered
and now its 6 years later
we've endured arguments
and also shared love
but now, on this day
you're 10 feet away from me
with your back turned
and your hand in your pocket
but the real question isn't why
the question is
what are you holding
the white flag of surrender
or the gun you aim for me?
