ive always had this trouble with words
yet everyone calls it a gift

"you're so smart" "your words are beautiful"

they haven't been in my mind
these words swirl around, they lose their meaning
my thoughts are on loop
phrases fly by
words come and go

misunderstanding - love - new - schizophrenic - restraint - hope

my words jumble in my head
making me feel angry and stupid because I can't sort them out
I don't know what any of this means

you can't tell me I'm smart
you can't possibly understand this
I don't get it

they think they know me, when I don't even know myself

Walk with your head high.
Love with your heart wide open.
Don't let them stop you.

I wrote you a poem
in the heavens above
Between every star
you’ll find verses of love
And just past the moon
with its glow ever bright
Waits my affection
in the words that I write
So gaze up this evening
at this wonderful view
Where every phrase sends
*my love down to you
Good night Beautiful
His arm was a dot-to-dot
of needle marks and scars
you join them up together,
reading
*'existence broke my heart'

Just like glue, I'm stuck on you.
The things I say I promise true.

More and more everyday,
I'm loving us in every way.

I love you now, I loved you then.
I love you when the clouds roll in.

When we're apart, it breaks my heart.
Your soul to me, my favorite part.

Forever yours, forever mine.
I promise, love, that we'll be fine.

Have faith in me, as I do you.
Just like glue, I'm stuck on you.

Do you ever wonder why we chase the clock? Why must I "Always arrive early!" "Don't keep them waiting?"
I don't follow the hand of the hour.
I rise and fall to my own mind.
Is that such a disaster, mother?
Time does not exist, so why are you chasing the clock? Time does not exist, so why is you're life a rush?
Slow down, Society. We have nowhere to be. Nowhere, but everywhere.
Stop running here and there.
Stop worrying about the time.
Stop living by the hour.

Just be. Just live.

Rise and fall to the sound of the birds. Rise and fall to the feel of your lovers skin. Set appointments by the sun. Live in one another. Let your mind wake you. Wake to the seaside and get there by the way of your feet. Follow your compass not your watch.

I don't chase the clock. I don't follow the hand of the hour.

My life is mine.

Waking up next to you
would be my honest dream come true.

Holding your hand in mine
sipping the sweet red wine.

Never having a care
brushing my fingers through your hair.

Your love awakens my soul
with me, my love, grow old.
