I wanted you...
But you said you couldn't choose
I gave you love not expecting any in return
While she yearned for more than just your affection
I provided you with a solid, reliable ground
But you desired an earthquake
You wanted her...

Observing the outside world from a forbidden screen
Listening to the wind tauntingly, calling upon me
Come and dance with I
It would plead
Beckoning me to join the dancing leaves
Leaving my shadows behind the trees

-EC

Diving into the dark depths of the sea,
Looking for my pearl with a never ending glee
Recovering the emotions that were buried down deep
Finding the claws of my past that I never wanted to keep

At last I found my pearl after endless looking
Why is this one pearl so special?
Because it was bestowed in the depths of the sea obtaining the real me

-EC

Your voice is like the sound of the ocean that puts me to sleep at night

As the depth of your voice would gently crash in my ears like little waves greeting the coast

Temptation gleamed in your hazel eyes

When you looked into mine it was only us, everyone else didn't seem to matter,
But I could still hear their obnoxious voices,
Until you kissed me and blocked out the world
At that moment I knew who I was

10ft below
I am drowning
Pressure rising to my head
My throat crushing with
Insecurities, fear, anxiety
I am far to deep
I am beyond saving

You left and I wanted nothing more than to
Die
For how could I live without you?
But I decided to try and soon realized
**You already killed me

Wrapped in your luscious balmy arms
Feeling your warmth, your colorful protection
I breathe you in, smelling the earth’s soil,
Piney trees, and the musty rain from the night before
Seeing the effervescent teardrops of water on the fresh leaves and the reflecting stream that beholds our picture
Hearing quiet tapping as it begins to sprinkle
The air began to thicken as the wind started to rage
Looking into your eyes I see a  roar that cannot be contained
A wildfire with a never ending spark
Never fearing our love will be bland
For, you touched me with your soft pleasant hands, promising spice
I could taste the deliciously  sweet sharp  tang  of our affection
With you,
I am home

-EC

I fall from my home in the sky
Falling fast and effortlessly
Only to dance one last time on your innocent skin

A place greater than the mind
Filled with color, grace, life, energy, radiance
A setting that is always growing and prospering
Except one flower
The flower died, the petals shriveled up, the stem slowly went from a bright, vibrant green to a dark, musty brown
The petals fell from their home, separating, drifting, slipping
Into a black oblivion, until they find themselves again

-EC

Our romance was a song
A melody that only we could sing
Lyrics came from our lives colliding
All the while the instruments were playing the beat of our passion
We were a lovely tune
Constantly on repeat
-EC

Everyone saw her...
They saw independence, strength, confidence
Granted, they only saw her shell, the outside
Inside... she was just an innocent little girl yearning for **acceptance

Please help me stop these screams
They won't go away
They say they are here to stay

We could be friends

I listen to their demands,
When they tell me to do things
That will have very unfortunate endings

Just do it

I scratch at my head out of frustration
Trying to claw them out
But it resulted in their pout

How dare you!

They raised my hand and clutched a knife
In hopes of taking a life

I expected it to be mine
but they said that would be another time

All I wanted was a rose
A reason
why you loved me on every red petal
A strong
Green stem to show the strength of our bond

But in reality
The rose died
The petals wilted and faded
and the stem went hard...

Much like your love for me

Driving for miles on end
One Right Turn
Watching my past become more distant and start to resolve into a evanesce
Two Right Turns
Considering my fate, avoiding old ways
Three Right Turns
Regrets turning into lessons
Four Right Turns
Making a Circle
Back where I started,
I attempt to make my wrongs, rights

I hate myself for giving you the power to change me
Not who I am, but how I act
I give you the power to change my mood in less than a second
Not only do I see it, but others do to
Stop talking to him! Hes going to hurt you!
They yell at me, but I never seem to listen


I guess I take being hurt by you as a honor instead of a disgrace.

-EC

She sagged to the floor with despair
Feeling as if she was deprived of air
Her world was ripped from under her feet
The only feeling she had left was defeat

-EC

He held the knife with such grace
As he looked timidly in his victims face
His lips were spread wide at the slicing
With such elegance it was enticing

-EC

Poetry gives our soul a voice
The courage to write without hesitation and proclaim without explanation
To the point that it is no longer poetry, but the words we have been choking on in fear of being criticized

Floating on the deepest of blues
Sailing across lost souls and neglected memories
Being controlled the by a dream that will once be forgotten
As the current of salty tears washes away the remains
