you are the blue and golden valleys
glistening in solitude

unexplored and solemn
frozen in dark fabric

I want so badly to reach my hands
feel the way you curve

But temptation is fatal
and you are my death
you stack soda cans on my head and
walk in front of me and
don't let me finish sentences and
laugh at my confusion and
smoke too much and
pretend like you know me and
boss me around and
lie like i'm blind and
ignore me when i'm there and
ignore me when i'm not there and

that's why I dont love you anymore
But we can still be friends
I hear you sing
and I am back to the
feeling of your arms

the restless nights
wishing I could
bottle the passion

And scare away the
demons that stopped you
from loving me back

I once had you
under my spell
distracted your torment

I'm sorry I was angry
I hope you find
a lasting comfort

And maybe later we can
find a new place to settle
beside each other
Crawling through my mind,
I came upon a light.
It flickered like a candle
but it could never be snuffed.
This is my passion.
It's fire burns deep within me.
Next time you see me,
I dare you to look into my eyes.
There are
a billion stars
behind
my
eyes

I weep them
one

I carve the words
So carefully into my skin
The words that you say
Hurt me within
You say there just words
And they can do no harm
But look at my skin
I guess you were wrong
The things people say........they really do hurt
Tell me you want me
under your sheets

I'm a bit hollow these days

let's talk about it later
just take off your clothes for now
you
folded
me
like
paper
into
cute
little
cranes*

just to keep me in a box to make room for
someone new
