As I lay awake staring at my ceiling for hours
I try to forget the way I feel
I can't help but see your face everywhere I look
And be remembered of the way you make me feel
You were everything I wanted
But the way things work sometimes are not so clear
The way u see me as someone else
As someone not so close
But it is important for you to understand
I know what you want
And all I wish is for you to be happy
So as I lay awake staring at my ceiling for hours
I try to forget the way I felt

What happened to all those,
I love you's,
And I couldn't live without you's?
Are they all just gone?

Lovely Life.
Delightful Death.
Refreshing Rebirth.

I am the vacuum
I am…
Am I the absences of something
Or the presence of nothing?

*I was born to be a statue
So ivy could strangle my being
So roots could separate my parts
I feel creepers climbing my limbs
I feel vines tangling my form
But my automaton gears spin too fast
  to let me die.

People ask me when I grew up
I don't really know.
My brother said its when my sister left for college.
My sister says its when high school got really hard.
My mom said its when I set my priorities straight.
I don't know.
I don't think I have grown up yet, I think I just got quiet. I stopped talking. I just stopped kinda everything.
I stopped watching movies with my dad.
I stopped singing in the car with people.
I stopped telling people how I felt.
I started hiding.
I started writing poetry.
I started faking smiles.
I don't think I've grown up yet..
I just started stopping.
Your words are quite confusing
Your phrases are too contradicting
Your thoughts are too well hidden
your…
I just don’t know what you mean

Why is it that you make things difficult
Why is it that you are [replace: ‘need to be’] so vague
Why must you hide those [replace: ‘such’] things from me
Why is it that what makes little sense is all you only say
         What I need to hear … {illegible} …. what makes
little sense


I can’t understand. My mind no longer works
My heart can’t stand this confusion much longer
I must know what you want me to be… anarchy
I must [ want to] know what you think

I need to know your guidance (your wants, your aspirations)
I need to know your wants
I need to tell you how much you matter, how much I care
But it’s a catch-22, (you see)
I don’t know what to ask [say]

There are (too) few words I can use
To say what you mean [ quite what I feel]
“I love you” is much, much too trite
“You are my world” is just not enough
So I guess (this Valentine’s) I’ll (just have to) ask…
  “Will you be mine?”

With the third test in the series, now fast drawing to a close
The Australian team is ahead, by a veritable elephant's nose
This last session of play, they've scored the more than a run
Which has not filled, the Indian side with a stump load of fun

A substantial lead, has been built by the Aussie side
They've held their nerve, on the MCG's cricketing bide  
Each ball they've faced, has not made them cower in any way
No Indian spinners or quickies, have yet put them away    

After this match, there's sure to be a question put forward
As to why India ne'er got, that prized win on the board
Though they did attempt, to pepper Australia with mace  
They weren't successful, with their bowling or batting grace

The series of five test matches, is no more alive and kicking
As our Australian side, weren't on the pitch to take a licking
India put in a supreme and gallant effort, during the game's play
But the Australian side, were out to unmake their day
