Shh it was just a slip of the tongue
I never meant to tell you
Everything
Or
Anything
But the words slipped in between my ribs
And while trying to stop everything from spilling out
I think I bled all over your favorite sweater and it was obvious that I am not as alive as I say I am      
I never meant to hurt you
It was just a slip of the tongue      
And it all came crashing down

I used to hold you up so high
until you let me down
I used to think if I pulled back the skin on your ribs all I would see was a blinding light
Sadly
You are only human

And even the best of us forget

Dear Father,
I wish I knew you. Give me a name to call out in the night, because sometimes I just need someone here. I wonder if it would break your heart to know that I don’t remember you. All I remember from life before is bits and pieces of swords flying, echoing words, and a mess of emotion splattered in the grass. I remember the tree, the huge one to the right of the field. The grass would burn my legs as I ran through it, I could run so so fast. Base camp was my home and I lived for the fire that lit up the night. I miss the music that floated through the air.
I know you knew that I wouldn’t remember much when I entered this world again. But I know if it was reversed I would still hate the fact that we are not allowed to take all of our memories with us. I keep recognizing strangers on the street, and I don’t know how I know them but it’s like I can name their every fear and joy just from looking in their eyes. I want to know them, did they come with me? Did I follow them? What happened to my team? I have so many questions that I know I have the answers to somewhere in the back of my soul. I hurt my mind trying to dig farther back then this human brain will take me. I am so restricted here, I can only think so much, and run so fast, and say so many things, and feel such basic emotions. My mind wants to think at the speed of light. My legs want to carry me across the geography of the earth in a matter of minutes. My voice wants to rise above the dull roar or life. I want to feel more than sadness, and happiness, and anger. I want to feel things that humans don’t have words for. Pain is very much the same, I still love it, I still hate it.
Teach me everything again. I have been told that you can get your memories back only when disconnecting your soul from your body but I want to know everything yet stay here. I have found beautiful things here.  Love takes over your body here, you can feel it everywhere when you fall. They call it falling, but I think a lot of times its more like flying. I remember flying a little, and maybe I could fly back then because love was more than an emotion but a state of being. Father, I think I miss you. I think I miss everyone. Strings come out from the center of my being and every so often I find someone who is holding the other end. I have become attached to entirely too many people who have only been in my life for the smallest fraction of time. But..I can’t let go, I can’t stop wanting them to be a part of my bones, a part of what holds me up on this earth. In particular, I love three people. And I think that’s enough to help me to fly again. Unfortunately two of them have gone, and the third is on the brink of going away.
I could not stop any of them. I wanted them to be happy so bad. I left the door open trying to let them see the light of the world outside. They walked out into the sunrise because I cannot compare to a beautiful day.
I have been told that I was sent here for a purpose, I want to change the world. But I’m not sure how. Father, can you help me? I need something to push me in the right direction. I can only do so much by myself and I need hands to guide me.
Will you help me down here? I need someone by my side, I know I have Michael and Gabriel and Ariel and Elizabeth but maybe I need not only companions but maps.
Sometimes I don’t want to go on anymore. I want to be lifted back up into the sky. Learn everything again. It’s so filled with pain down here and I feel so weak. I want to be released, let go again. I am not afraid of death because some days it feels better than life. Life is heavy, and I’m used to walking on air.

Maybe it is better that I do not know you.
Because then maybe I would call for help in a language you would understand

And you would have to leave me here.

I guess I just wanted you to know I love you Father, whoever you are, wherever you are, I think about you sometimes.
I just wanted you to know.

Now that I know the truth
Now that this is all over
I can finally write the words that I always wanted to say but never had the heart to
And everyone will tell me how nice they are
But they are not nice
They are true

"This will be the most wonderful mistake I ever make"

"I know, it will be mine also"

Fortunately
Unfortunately
I'll love you always

But that's what I get for falling in love with my best friend

Inhale. Let the oxygen fill your ribs, and permeate your bones. Exhale. Your breath is painting dreams of oceans deep below your eye lids. You are endless. Weightless. Suspended in colorless silence. Tiny echoes caress your palms yet none of them reach your ears. You are alone, but surrounded in blinding light. Moving is slow, effortless, underwater. Something has shifted in your mind, your eyes. The world you find yourself in seems fragile, one fast movement and the moment will be broken. Dissolved into a million tiny pieces of atmosphere. Feel that? It’s your heart beating, your life force, your veins just a road map of yourself. Stronger than ever, driven by the waves. You are floating in peace, you are whole. Such a small yet vital force of the universe.
Look at your hands, swirl your fingers around of you must. You can manipulate the currents and make the seas calm at your call. Let the water take you. It’s a delicate balance of time and eternity and you are spiraling down
                         down
                                   down
You are endless. Weightless. Suspended in colorless silence.
Softly, the tide brushes its lips against your cheek. You can feel nothing, but at the same time everything. Every tiny movement of the living, breathing ocean that has encased you in such echoing quiet. Focus, there are vibrations running up and down your spine, your own melody of existence.
Comfortably numb.

Let go.

Don’t be afraid,
Until you must once again, gasp for air.
Inhale. Exhale.

When a line is drawn is extends infinitely in every direction
and I hope this means there is at least one that connects me to you
no matter how far apart we are
and if you follow it maybe we'll meet again
where our lines overlap

I'll guide you home
