many preach of being immortal as a cure,
but i see no greater curse
than living--
not even living;
simply existing
until the Earth itself
takes its' eternal rest .

i have never been afraid of death anyway.

too many words to write to stop

i imagine the only time
these fingertips have nothing left to say,
is when a heartbeat no longer carries them .

no..
not even then .

shhh, the voices are sleeping .

you asked me why
I never sleep .

what I didn't tell you,
was that it was the only time
the voices weren't awake too .

Picking Scabs too Soon

and I took you out of my life
like a scab picked too soon ,
something once meant to heal me

made me bleed all over again .

no, i'm fine.

what a cursed existence this is,
to long for the eternal rest
but never having the courage
to put myself there .

no, i'm fine.

the most honest love

falling in love with a fictional character
is the most honest love there is .
you don't fall in love with faces,
or a body or what they possess.

you fall in love with a heart,
you fall in love
with a soul .

even if its not real .

**** it .

and if the rules of the church
are the only way i'll get into
              "heaven"
well,
         to hell
                    with that .
