I can't let it go
It consumes me

Your face, your voice
Your hands, your skin

I fell in love with you
Your everything

And I won't let go
I can't let go

I am completely and utterly
Hypnotized By You

i hate movies
and i hate books.
because by the end
i've changed
and it may just be
because it's two in the morning
and i am beyond exhaustion
where loneliness is starting to consume me.
and i'm upset, and i'm lost
but by the end
i've changed
or i'm left seeking
wanting more of the story
that wasn't real to begin with.
and it kills me inside.
stories of love
hardship
where characters fight
through thick and thin
to get where they are
to choose who they want to be
to have a mother lose a husband
and have to raise to children
that hardship
that love
that fight.
and in the end it ends
it ends happily.
and happy endings
i'm not complaining about.
but there's a part of me
that doesn't know what to do
with myself
once it's over.
and i'm lost.
i don't understand.

inch closer to the ebb
of my voice. fear your
-self in my image. see
the understanding wreath
itself in transitory honors
and awards, church bells
sounding for the no-bell
prize.

i leaned across the sink
and let the sun touch my freckles
like i was doing him a favor
as well as myself
for once

if flowers can be beautiful
simply by existing,
then so can I

And in this void of paradoxical living
I live within and without my body
For it is nothing but a shell that for comes the shallow epitomy in society
For ugliness lies in the hive where it breeds
Parade in all our humanity
Run through the swarm
And break open the black oozing hive
This is where the sickness lies
Not within us
But within
It

Eyelash Wishes
Eyelash wishes,
a crazy wish,
a foolish hope,
a far-fetched dream.

Eyelash wishes,
caught on your finger,
pondered and yearned for,
then with cautious breath,
set free.

We met on New Years Eve
but no - we didn't kiss at midnight
and no - we didn't see the grand fireworks
because we were distracted
and missed the clock at twelve.
For a while I was dispirited by the lifeless celebration,
until I realized the next morning that even though
the explosions in the sky were out of view
there had to have been fireworks
because yes - I felt them with you.

You said you loved me
More than the sun and the stars
But how much can you really love a
Burning light

I didn't care anyway

I'm nothing like stars
