I'm no help to you
I'm only a distraction
From reality

So we jumped rock to rock
Through the unknown river
Your **** in those jeans
Makes my heart shiver

The way you move along
While sometimes looking back
The smirk on your face
Gives my heart an attack

We swam in our skin
Till our lips turned blue
Being this happy
Is something I never knew

The way you out shine the stars
That we gazed upon that night
I'm a sucker for those
Who are clever and bright

Lasagna, tacos
Mac n cheese
Your company
Puts my nerves at ease

I'm crazy with a crazy
That's crazy for you
I can honestly say that
That's truer than true

The way you grab my hand
And pull me into your chest
Something tells me
That we're gonna get undressed

The floor steals our clothes
And the sheets become our abode
The way you bite my hips
Makes my heart explode

Taking shot after shot
But you didn't care
You laughed along with me
When I broke the chair

I broke my neck
And the chandelier
You picked me up
And then kissed my ear

You bandaged my wounds
While holding me down
You are the most amazing chick
That deserves the biggest crown

Hair full of glass
And a girl full of concern
Unconditional love
Is something she'll earn

I jumped off the railing
And fell into her heart
If it was up to me
We would never be apart

My stomach cannot
******* handle choking back
these tears anymore

Like the salty breeze
You and your cigarette smoke
Invaded my air
Visions of blue and grey
Sweep my mind blank
I look down to your fingers
Clutching your cross
Teasing god
Along with my thoughts
I whisper your name
Over and over
Like a forgotten rose
I feel your bitter thorns
Bruise my skin
But I let them ***** me again
Hoping that the same breeze that
Brought you to me
Will have the decency to
Let you stay

[ Why do you keep walking in fear?
    If you'd just listen...
Cut out all the thinking and hear
    What you're missing... ]

Here is my suggestion,
    Try it on your heart...
Lose your mind's connection,
    Life's ready to start...

Invest the next few minutes
    Looking for your being...
Notice the next sentence:
    This is all a dream...

Stop your thoughts from running;
    Take the time to see...
The fiction you're becoming
    Is not reality...

You are the one that sees,
    You are the one that notices,
You are the one that is aware
You are the ONE.
You are ONE.

I am you and you are me.
I am us and you are we.
You are. I am.
I am.
I.

You are the one that is aware of the fact that your brain is
translating these words into electrical signals called thoughts.

You are the one that is watching yourself read.
You are the one that knows you are reading.

You are the one that knows.

You are NOT the one that is wondering why this stopped being a poem
and became something entirely different.

You are the one that KNOWS why.
You are the one that sees through these words into their deepest meaning.

Stop thinking. Open your heart and ponder these words slowly, over and over,
until you feel your soul burst in the joy that it is.

The joy that YOU ARE.

Again.

YOU ARE.
LOVE. LOVE is. You are/is/was/will be.

Peace. Be still and know.

I AM THAT I AM.

Confused? No you're not. Your mind is. Your soul is smiling in recognition.

Life is about recognizing that recognition.
Life is about LOVE.
Life is about YOU.

Whoever you think you are... I WROTE THIS FOR YOU.

Not your body. Not your mind. Not your personality. Not your story...

YOU.

So many girls have that waterslide nose
the one you had, the shape that tethers on the end
a curly-cue your teardrops pool in sometimes:

so many girls could look just like you
and I might actually acknowledge their blue eyes
not assume they are as brunette as the wool
below their clothes

but none of those girls would know my secrets or
obsession with Build-a-Bear bunnies
because they were never open on our birthday.

I **** **** up
It's what I do
My heads on sideways
What's it to you?!

Your feelings got hurt?
***** to be you
******* *****
***** you too
