I crossed my fingers
and my heart fluttered
because I made a wish
that you could come back.
And oh, how I longed to make that
tiny part of your heart
that belonged to me
whole again.

How many times do I have to die before I get the chance to live?
Time.

The words do not flow like they used to.
They hardly come to mind at all.
Maybe it's because I feel almost absolutely nothing
and am only comforted by the numbing sensation
of a love that is far too unreal.
All this time, I've been searching for something
and now, I feel like maybe
I've been searching for the wrong thing.
Maybe I've only been looking in the wrong places.
Maybe I'm too stubborn to accept the reality of a situation.
I'm afraid of a love that I can never feel.
I'm afraid that the distance between our bodies will always be kept
far greater than I can even fathom-
even if we were in the same room; holding hands.
I'm afraid the connections that our souls share
will quickly become tattered and cracked.
Maybe I was never destined for love.
Maybe I'm supposed to be alone forever.
Maybe I'm supposed to have my heart broken...
But, maybe, I'm supposed to break my own heart.
I think maybe I'm just meant to stay lonely.
Writer's Block.

Slowly I turned the page
I like the new day
Bitten lip ready for a voice
Eyes rested from the darkness  
Now alive and alert

Today would be different
See my book was empty
All chapters blank
No news yet to be written
Today would be different

Stretching my mind I wondered
A smile
What new shoots from the tree
Would come
Who's life would I change
Where would I go
Should
My left turn right
Could
My right turn left
Only the shadows would know  

For they always know
Their book is never empty
Read it be
Like the palm in my hand
Lines scarred into my future
Yet my mind has the key
To re write my page
My eyes have the magic to change
This written
Today would be different

Feel the itching on my hand
As the path breaks free
New lines
New hope in a
New day  
The shadows fallen
To the glorious dawn of the sun
Today would be different

Did you get what you wanted
or are you still haunted
by a shiver in your bones
and quiver in your lips
when you think about what's beneath
your clothes
go slow now, breathe easy
speak careful because your words
are not like friends
you can't take them back, no
you can't take them back
dressed in black
darker than pitch
last ditch effort to throw your head back
exhale and laugh it all away
this is the last advice I'll give you
so listen deep to what I say
every guy who holds you up
might just drag you down
compare them all to me
do they listen to your music
do they know your favorite tea
do they tuck you in at two a.m
before they have to leave
if they don't make your jaw drop
or surprise you everyday
ask yourself this question
did you get what you
wanted

did you get
what you...

you are behind
my happiness
but
most
of the
time behind
my sadness

however,
you are
the one
I truly love
maybe
I am too busy
looking
for your
attention
to notice
the one
who would
truly love me
free will
a free gift
we freely **** up
the choice to
decide
between good and bad
free will
causes all of our misery
in many ways it seems
we we've lost our ability
to be free

Coin jar.

A penny for your thoughts,
kind sir?
because it seems you've gone
s i l e n t .

In fact, maybe I'll give you a dime,
no, make it a quarter
because call me selfish but twenty-five of your thoughts
might just help me get through the day.

I know you're not fond of uttering your feelings,
but I'm hoping you'll make an exception.
I'd fill your coin jar to the rim
if it meant you'd say my name again.

I'd let it overflow in gold and silver,
maybe a couple bills here and there
if it meant you smiling.
*******,

would you like my entire savings, as well? Because
I'd pay twice the wager to hear your laugh slice through the air.
A penny for your thoughts, kind sir?

Because it seems you've disappeared for quite too long.

Ignorance
can truly be bliss*

because I would have rather
lived my whole life
thinking you were a master
at making ambivalent choices

instead of knowing
you purposely chose
to choose your pride
over me.
