That small strip of complete darkness between the headlights
      and the taillights of the car in front.
Only the ones you love can hurt you, with one word make a thousand tears fall.
    
      I'm making a collage.
Taking smart things, quotes, words and memories...placing them into an envelop in a black box in the back of a       closet behind a locked door in my mind.

I think of him, I think of her, how their minds work, how they work together--perfection.
      I strive for that, we all do...at sometime.
A single raindrop causing an earthquake. A single heartbeat, causing everything to stop.
      
      I hope he remembers how it felt. I hope he wants it back...just a little, just enough to make a difference.
A single word causing the heart to break...
      
      You stuck a crowbar in and pulled the gap just a bit wider. Ibuprofen doesn't help the pain.

  Sitting in the rain, pants soaked through. A drop on my leg, a drop on my nose one on my elbow and a single raindrop on one of my toes...and a drop on my lower lip, a kiss from mother nature.

       A warm dog dreaming on the floor. Toes twitching, eyes fluttering.
Crickets, stars. Wet paint, a crow perched.

      Just remember me.

You confused me,
      I fall in love too fast.
  Falling into a pit of depression...

      I really did like you.
I thought, just for a second
      that you would be the one.

When you held me close to your chest
      when you held my hand so tight
           when you made the butterflies come back

I miss you, I miss him too...

     Maybe I miss him more...maybe I do
but what I miss about you
     is a fresh wound,
not a flesh wound.

I had a dream...
that I was sitting
and the water was rising
up to my jaw
threatening

You were above me
watching me drown
watching the tears run
down my cheeks
watching my outstretched
hands
watching me leave.

Scars begin to fade
leaves begin to fall
don't let that make you
forget

I lost you
let you slip between my
fingers

It still haunts me
after this year
without sunshine.

Skin, bones, tendins
Keeping us together
We're machines
Built to work
Built to break...
under the pressure

The heart
It keeps us going
But its ready
Ready to split
In two

Broken
Lost
Forever

Repair me
Hold me in your arms
Never let me go.

Rain blurs my vision like tears
       or maybe they are tears
    who knows
            at this point
    who cares
            not you

I only wish it was
            you
  wish you loved me
           like you did

I remember the day
          the secret love
   the trust.

Everyone makes mistakes
       and everyone deserves a second chance.

So give me a second chance
       let me sweep you off your feet

Let me tell you how much I love you
       how many tears i have shed for you

Let me redeem myself and tell you what I've
       done to make you notice me...
