Don't you know how much I believe in you? Don't you know how much I care?

Seeing your life fall out of place like this breaks my heart into pieces.

You're not as alone as you think, you're with me every minute.
I'd **** for you. I'd lie for you.
                       steal, scam and cheat.
Anything you would ask for, I would do my best to make it so.
                        Stop ruining yourself.
                         Stop expecting so little.

Be the man I know you are.
O blush not so! O blush not so!
      Or I shall think you knowing;
And if you smile the blushing while,
      Then maidenheads are going.

There's a blush for want, and a blush for shan't,
      And a blush for having done it;
There's a blush for thought, and a blush for nought,
      And a blush for just begun it.

O sigh not so! O sigh not so!
      For it sounds of Eve's sweet pippin;
By these loosen'd lips you have tasted the pips
      And fought in an amorous nipping.

Will you play once more at nice-cut-core,
      For it only will last our youth out,
And we have the prime of the kissing time,
      We have not one sweet tooth out.

There's a sigh for aye, and a sigh for nay,
      And a sigh for "I can't bear it!"
O what can be done, shall we stay or run?
      O cut the sweet apple and share it!
It starts slowly.

Looking at you

But it’s not even you.

It’s a projection that you put on

For the world.

In the background:

I’m up in the woods, I’m down on my mind

I’m building a sill to slow down the time.

And overwhelmingly.

I miss you.

I know this, because the first one wells up.

It slowly wells up and I forbid it to fall.

It doesn’t fall.

What the hell?

I let it fall.

And it falls slowly.

Out of my eye

down my cheek.

Before i can track it

further.

more come.

like soldiers

at the yell of charge

they flood out of my eyes

i give a quiet yell

because i don’t want to feel this

You don’t deserve

to keep coming to my mind

i’m better than this.

Just as quickly as it starts

It stops.

Longing replaced with frustration.

God, I miss him.

Please help me stop.
Song lyrics from the song Woods, by Bon Iver
Some say we're tragic. I say we're alive.
You are the unwilling soldiers of a revolution you've never heard of.
Living lives you don't believe in.

We are the guerrilla warriors.
Fighting for freedom against the rest of the world.
We may never be free but we fought.

You followed.

So no, I'm not tragic. I'm more alive than you ever will be.
Even once I'm dead and you still breath; I will be more alive.
Joy
I haven't felt this in a long time.
Hope, joy, enthusiasm.
I see good things now; I feel good things now.
My smile has lasted for hours.

This boy is driving me crazy.
I want to keep this feeling forever.
my heart is pounding, the butterflies are emerging.

And all because I heard you laugh and saw you smile at me.


and now with this joy comes the crushing doubt.
will he lose interest?
does he not really care at all?
is this just some game?

love *****.
I woke up this morning thinking that I will hate you.
I tried to find some flaws in your being,
Some irregularity in your skin,
Some impurity in your heart,
But what I found instead were my own faults.

I woke up this morning thinking that I will not remember you.
I tried to erode the memories of your essence,
The feel of your skin,
The scent of your body,
But what I did instead is re-live all the happy memories.

I woke up this morning thinking that I will be better off without you.
I tried to immerse myself in new groups,
To find someone new,
To find someone beautiful,
But what I did instead was look for you in others.

I woke up the following morning thinking that I will hate you…

raen
fruits like lights
enticing
moths to the flame

tired of chasing
them away

child of the streets
why do you roam
chasing mango trees

where is your home?
