this morning
was beautiful.
i pounded along
on the asphalt
sweat running in rivulets
down my back.
my closest friend and i
ran
until we could barely breathe
and
when we could barely breathe
we stuck flowers in our hair
and were kids again.

spinning
we all are spinning
like tops
on wooden tables
so unstable that
one breath
is all that is
needed to send us
toppling

i wrote this 2 years ago, and just edited it...not really sure if i like it.

lust

i worry that i have
lied every time
i told a boy
i loved him.

i fear that i have
only ever been
and will only ever be
"in love"
with the idea
of love.

and most of all,
i am terrified
that every boy
who has ever told me
he loved me
was in love
only with the idea
of love.
not me.

"shiver"

on and on
from the moment i wake
till the moment i sleep,
i will be by your side
just you try and stop me.
i'll be waiting in line
just to see
if you care.

did you want me to change?
well,
I changed for good.
and I want you to know
that you'll always get your way.

these are lyrics from the song Shiver by Coldplay. such a beautiful song.

remember

i've always thought that it is so
beautiful
the way that certain songs call forth
memories of vacations
and days spent lost in
the perfect novel.

i've always thought that it is so
remarkable
and so ******* sad
the way that i am reduced to
shaky knees
and ear shattering heartbeat
at the sight of you
-
and to think that time
had healed
and released
me from
you.

summer

i spend
the e n t i r e year
lusting
and
craving
for summer

but by the time
it arrives
i find that
i really don't
care for the heat
or the sweat
or the smothering humidity.

and so
i lust
and crave
for autumn's grace
and the death of
warmth
so that i may
feel alive
again.

this turned out weird..
