It feels
easy
free
ridiculous
amazing

But this is all ending.
Feelings pulled apart by
rivers and roads

The feelings weaken
and I weaken.
A solitary tear escapes

N. Hedges
as we sail
across
the cosmos
starry night
reveals
the
silhouette of
seagull wings
"Who should I call in the event of an emergency?"

I'll scroll through my phone and pretend there is someone that could come running to my rescue.

"This is what you wanted God. Right?"

I've overstayed my welcome in every home I've lived in.
I've driven away all those I love into the hands of sleep.
An excuse to escape me.
And I'm letting go.
I'm giving in.

"Can I come over? I don't want to be alone tonight."

People don't like things they don't understand.
Surrounded on all sides by people.
Drowning in a sea of lonely.
You can find me underwater
You can find me in the mountains
You can find me if you seek me out
Just feel around

Being pulled in two directions
looking for that true connection
a hand to hold, a mouth to kiss
Just feel me out

I met a boy named Joshua
in the forest of Ocala
he took my suitcase
off my hands
and he led me home

and he led me home...
This is how the story
u n f o l d s
with his voice,
with his voice
c u t t i n g
through the wind
____
like a singing bowl

The scene was over
but alignment was waiting
could have been anywhere
but you would have found me

So we locked arms
and traveled the country
Got mistaken for a couple
of thieves
She almost died
but was saved by angel
and caught a ride
to Boulder instead

People aren't always meant
to stay together
forever
there are seasons of
distance
but you keep
keep spinning back
into my vortex
and I can't help but notice
this

You can find me underwater
You can me find me in the mountains
You can find me if you seek me out
Just feel around
My ex lover and I wrote this. Its a song but its also poetry. Enjoy my love story.
I know it takes love and understanding to make a good thing happen and transcend

So forever I will always tell you darling you'll be more to me than just my friend

I get high such a big love high every time I think about this thing

Makes it hard for me to ever slow down when the sun always seems to be rising

Sky's the limit
And I wanted to say nothing can stop us or get in our way

Sky's the limit
And I want you to know, this love will grow oh

There ain't no need to ever be demanding
Mystic love will be right here for you
I can't explain this magic kinda feeling
That always happens when you're in my view
We have our lives and a lifetime to share
Love will take us everywhere
This heavy vibe sure feels light as a feather
Keep reaching for the sky and put our love together

I'm in heaven baby
In seventh heaven...

Think up!
Well, if you've gone through part one and don't feel well, don't read any further.......

Ok, I'm jumping back, before I was ten. I grew up with my mom 'sick' (really, it was narcotics) I thought she was mostly tired and sick. I didn't know the truth until I was thirteen. Well, while growing up, I raised my four bros I knew about and my only sister, (until she was caught, I thought I was the oldest of six, found out I'm second oldest of eight) anyway, I really hated my brother who I thought was the first brother I had. Well, I hated him because..........mom actually showed him attention and love........ And for those thinking 'parents love their kids, and it's just the child's imagination of favoritism', well, try being kicked in the back for crying from age five/six until your nine or so......... my mom wanted a boy first, but got me. :/ I tried everyday to get her attention......... she was seventeen when she had me, so I kept thinking, back since I was three/four, I was a mistake........well, I was so deeply upset, I tried to **** my self several times, I tried over dosing about twenty times(each time, my migraine went away, and that was it, hell, I kept taking large bottles of pain killers) I tried suffocation(found out I can breathe even through thick material, beds, pillows, etc.) I even tried poison berries(ps, those things taste nasty, and of course, nothing happened) I think I'm just immune/resistant to death....... never could figure out why nothing happened......... :/ I just gave up, (and from my mom kicking me and calling me every obscenity in the book while I was young and crying, I can't cry for long......... I can cry for a minute or less, but no longer :/...........
Ok, that's enough for part two.........again, this is my life........

If interested, wait for later installments of my life....... :/
i hope you will love me
by the way i wobble when i look at your face,
the way i look away from your (beautiful, beautiful) eyes,
the way i talk too much when i talk about my favorite book which you don't understand,
and the way i mess up my words in the middle of my stories.

because these are all that makes me, me.
so there's this guy, hehe.
in          the
midst of all
this    numb
wandering
i   begin   to
see       with
clarity
the
sunrise
neighboring
the      duller
stars  i   may
have     once
prayed    on.
