breathing underwater has become a learned activity

those that you know but you never grasp fully

and if you do not hold it properly

back to the arid land

that is my chest.

everyday I relearn the art

of breathing underwater

some days are more successful than others

others I drown in my relentless tears

others still, I succumb to the numbness in my leaded limbs

following blindly the static in my vision

My Apologies

I'm sorry
I didn't know you wanted a love poem
Really, I didn't
I...
I'm not good at those
I never try to write them
You're the first one to ask
Why come to me in search of roses and affection
Deep connections
I'm not good at those
I never try to right them
And I don't want to wrong you
Really, I don't
I...
I wish knew how to give you a love poem
But this is all I wrote

She Could Be
 Sep 2014 Janelle

She is the love,
the soul,
the one who makes me give it all

She is worth trying,
she completes me when we touch,
I want to kneel in front and give her a ring

She could be a beauty queen
with just a tee and some jeans

She could be what I have been asking for,
she could be what she is and more

She could be one in a billion,
she could be mine and I am a champion

She could be beautiful without even trying,
she could be - or maybe she is - my everything.

I don't know you well
I only know that you have a pretty face
But,
you got me with just one thing.
your laugh is one of the sweetest things ever,
your smile is like a sunshine
and you probably don't know what I am talking about
you probably wouldn't believe me
but I am just saying the truth,
you and your laugh are driving me crazy.

(m.v.a)

SELFISH!
SELFISH!
SELFISH!

My love,
what is your schedule like tomorrow?
do you have time to say "i love you"?
do you have time to get my birthday presents?
to remember it's our anniversary?

My love,
is it too much trouble
to step away from the television?
I know you love your re-runs,
but I can be entertaining too

My love,
did you forget?
when you thought I was beautiful?
when you appreciated me?
when you wanted to make me smile?

My love,
wouldn't you agree?
that no one has ever given you as much as me?
that my happiness is just as important as yours?
that I at least deserve your honesty?

My love,
I'm sure you're right
facebook, sportscenter, warcraft, television
they deserve your time and attention
after all, I am only comfortable and convenient

My love,
Don't worry
I understand
we all need a warm body
to use when we need a hand.

it's heartbreaking
because missing you and not having you
is a million times worse
than missing you and having you,
and i'll never have anything for years
that will mean as much
as having had you for seconds.

Shatter

I saw my heart break
I watched it shatter
It sat in pieces on the floor
And you asked me "what's the matter?"
As you walked towards me
I cried out in pain
You stood on the shards
And I felt your weight on my veins
You stared at me with a look of confusion
As if you couldn't see the broken mess
And you walked away
But that didn't make it hurt any less
So I sat on ****** knees
Trying to mend what was broken
After you crushed my heart
And left without a word spoken

Who We Are
 Sep 2014 Janelle

does anybody
really know
who we are?
can they tell
just by looking
upon our scars?
do they think
when we bleed
in blackened tones,
our bodies ink
just seemed to seep
from an unturned stone?
who we are
is night and day
a happy home
or just a place
to stay
winters in front
of fireplaces
or in cardboard boxes
in empty spaces
who we are
is where we've been
it's stories from things
that can never be unseen
it's how we laugh,
or choke or scream
it's about where we are going
it's not about presentation
it's all about the journey
to our ultimate destination
