Why do you shy away from the drops
of rain that fall gently to the ground,
through the sidewalk cracks,
seeping deep into the soil?

The raindrops that help the flowers grow,
the ones that keep the birds hydrated,
those that fill the ocean so it doesn't dry up.

Why are you afraid of something so simple?
If you are afraid to let the rain caress your skin,
how do you expect to be able to let someone in?

My eyes are heavy,
my breath is weak,
heartbeat slow,
slowly falling.

I'm kind of like a helium balloon.
Let me go free and I will fly high in the sky,
but eventually I grow tired and float back down.
Right back into R  E  A  L  I  T  Y.

Exhausted.
Mostly emotionally.
I have a mask on.
It is called a 'face'.
It hides my soul.
It is helpful when
I don't want people
to know my true feelings.

Like lately,
I have had a smile on.
For the most part I am happy,
but in reality I am deeply
sad over you.
You know that you deserve better
but you refuse to move on.
You won't open your eyes
to me so I just pretend that
in the end everything will work
out, and these crazy visions
of the future will come true.
no gaga.

If I wrote you a letter
and buried it in my yard
would you know where to look
if I died from these scars?

You see, the thing is,
I want you to know exactly
how I feel, but you don't want to know
that this feeling is real.

You leave me here clinging
onto all this false hope,
praying that one day you
may realize why I'm still afloat.

I'm waiting for this moment
with every last inch of my being,
my love, if you would please just
come around to believing.

So I'll leave you this letter,
in hopes that you'll find it,
under the flowers, covered in soil,
right next to where I'm dying.

The effect your sadness
has on me is unbelievable.
The fact that I cannot fully express
my concern to you is heart wrenching.

'I cannot have you crying those tears,
for your eyes are too full of soul to let it
drip out and escape from you so easily. I will kiss
your eyelids before I let one more tear fall from them.'


This sadness of yours takes over me too,
when you weep, my love, I cry for you, I do.


*'You deserve the world, my dear,
you deserve the whole night sky.
The galaxies are yours, my love,
so please forget to cry.'

Baby, bring your body close to mine,
let me hold you really tight.
I will kiss each freckle,
let me play connect-the-dots.
Your hair wrapped in my fingers,
I pull a little harder when your lips meet
the nape of my neck just right.
Your fingers explore every inch of my being,
sending shivers through me, reminding me how much I'm living.
My legs search the sheets for yours,
pulling them in, we become tangled,
we become one.
