I want to write beautiful words

I'll let them flow down my arms in rivers

They'll drip down my fingers onto the page

Oceans will form in the margins

Seas will rage between the lines

I'll drown in the paper

And become my own words

Maybe as you sail across my waves you'll find reason to drown with me

Put your hand down
You cannot break me
For I have already broken myself in much greater ways
Than your hands
Could even begin
To think about

I hate to see you like this
Each tear is a knife through my heart
"it just hurts so much" you say
I want to hold you
And be able to tell you it will be alright

Instead I'm lost and the only words I find to say is
"I know sweetheart"

*I know

Take my hand
Remember when...
I asked you what color the sky was
Both then and now when you told me the answer I realized
I love you
And those perfect words you spoke were exactly what I had in my heart
You should never trust anyone that says the sky is just simply blue
Good thing you said "it's every color depending on how you look"
I knew it
We've come a long way from March to February
But not so long that we don't remember the beginning
I know the ****** is always at the end
But..
If we want this to last maybe we can go back to that beginning again
Maybe this time we will remember to slow down at all our favorite parts
I know life won't always be perfect
But I do believe if we hold on tight we'll hold each other together
I promise I won't let go
I promise with the sky as my witness
Because it's not everyday you find someone who can see
The true colors of the sky

Note to Self:
Darling please,
Forget everything
Play yourself a new song
Set your sights on the future
Let go
Forgive yourself
Remember to love
and love
and love

Come closer
Put your hand on my heart
If you listen closely
With each beat
I'm screaming your name

It's so hard to escape when you wear your past within your skin
I hate that you stole my innocence
I hate that you stole my youth
You put gold in my hands expecting that to pay
Then never gave a second thought to taking the rest of my life away
No matter how hard I work  I can't seem to wash you from my hands
Take me out of my mind
Or just get out of my head
You always come back to haunt me
Ghost of my past
