Idling and looking over the edge
Are all the fantasies I'm dreading will leave my head
Hopeless and left with no choice

Imagining never thinking twice
And doing the first thing that pops into your mind
Nothing can stop you
And everyone's the same

Will there be no dreams then?
Are dreams only dreams because they don't come true?

Last night and the night before I had a fit of spontaneous crying because I'm a woman
Because I'm a woman I am scared to walk down the street at 9 at night or at 9 in the morning
Because I'm a woman I don't want to work in prisons or social service because I don't want to be harassed
Because I'm a woman it was easy to **** me to ****** me and think that by not fighting back I wanted it to happen

I'm so scared and I can't stop crying

Last Monday of summer and its raining

Such gloom

Oh how I long to be in symmetry
To love intrinsically
To think irrevocably
To sigh and breathe familiarly
To sit silently and fight no more.

I love you
I love you
I ******* love you
You make me so angry

But this is a poem about you
And what makes you wonderful
The way your voice changes
And how you eat my cold nose

From the way you hold me tightly and take away my breath
To the way you claim me as your property and put your hand on my chest

You hold your ground
Like an unmoving, untiring tree
Straight from the earth
All the way to your own stars

My energy fights to beat yours
It always has been a competition
Who can love the other more?

I began another love story
Except I already knew about this one
I knew it existed
But not that it would make me cry

Overdraft
Unreliability
Incompetence

Tingling alarm,
burning eyes,
sassy is out,
in my mind.

**** long hair,
short skirt,
dark music,
pale skin.

Salty humor,
seriously sweet,
sparkling aura,
on high-heels.

Knocking on hearts,
Opening doors,
Shivering crowds,
Dancing all floors.

Sight sets on me,
Fountains of youth,
Brilliance in her steps,
Each marked with truth.

Tied by her beauty,
My soul's reeling in,
Tossing and turning,
The lure, deady sin.

Suddenly I feel like I am myself
By thinking of everything that I am capable of
But stopping and breathing
And seeing that this moment is what really matters

In this moment I know that you are incredible
Your life and what you have lived gives me so much inspiration
Because your life is something I could never imagine living
And as I imagine you loving me
Wow, I am so happy

I can lay in bed and think of your face near mine
And your mannerisms and your voice
And how right before you call me out on my *******
For a split second you hold back

You are a person
But you are also hurt
But you are so strong
And I like that about you

I like you very much
