It stole along so stealthy
Suspicion it was done
Was dim as to the wealthy
Beginning not to own—

I like the fog,
I like that it blurs everything
in the distance,
and that it gives my thoughts
soft edges.
It lets me know the small space
around me
Like it is saying,
Don't look
at anything but the red break lights
ahead of you.
Let the world disappear into
streetlights
Sometimes your words scare me
Even before they leave your mouth
I fear something I don't want to see
Resulting my heart to plummet south

Have you begin to understand
The spell you have me under?
Falling in love is not what I planned
But I hold white flags that say I surrender

Now I know why people fear love
Because of all that they could lose
Thats precisely why I hug you so snug
To leave a mark, an impact, a bruise

Like the one you left on my heart
That will be difficult to ever erase
But I never want to forget that part
To which no one can take that place

Remember the next time you touch me
That it means more than you'll ever know
Remember that you were my first "we"
Remember I don't ever wanna let you go

For my darling dearest

One of my favorite books is Gone With The Wind
I read it when I was younger and liked to imagine I was like Scarlett
She was decisive, sassy, bossy; nothing could hurt her
I thought I needed a man similar to Rhett Butler
Someone who was authoritative.
Someone who could "put me in my place"
I thought of myself as indestructible
No one could actually hurt me

But they can.
I've realized I'm just as fragile as anyone else
Maybe even more so
Words can hurt me
And they do

I don't need someone who is mean to me
Or tells me what to do
I'm not indestructible
So I don't need someone to destruct me

It took me growing up to realize
I'm just a little girl
Hard times strengthen,
They form wisdom
And power.

They stretch the mind,
Renew thinking,
And Toughen.

Appreciating them isn't easy
Until they come to pass
And their reasons
Are realised.
The knock on the door was the last thing,
And the door was never ever opened again.

The very new chapter had begun,
And now the old was closed forever.
The fantasy,
Wild dreams,
Laughter,
Was it there to be?

Taking a deep breath,
She opened the door,
This time it was a new one,
Smiling she stood,
With Kohl in her eyes,
Hairs perfectly a mess,
With smile to make the world still.

Holding on to her dreams,
With some new beginnings,
A happy heart,
And maybe a new start.

She was strong enough to go on,
To move on with it.

Her wild dreams had a new destination,
Destination which was unknown,
And the road which took her there,
Was a mystery on it's own.

She was a world in herself,
The world which had no boundaries,
Where there was archaic,
Where she was the queen of her very own dreams,
Where the gestures were the best way to interact,
Where happiness was the key to love,
Where being you was important.

So she took her first step forward,
And she was ready to rise high,
And to fall,
And still smile,
Because this time it was she who had decided,
By looking back to the time,
She must smile upon her flaws,
And still rise above all.

And the knock on the door was never heard again,
And now the door was open once and for all.
Let it go, because you never know when its time.
Enjoy every bit and laugh till you drop.
You can live your life as if it's a constant chore
**Come to Peace and live so much more!

Enjoy every frown
   Every sigh of those in stress
Because they are perplexed
Remember that Life is a mission your on
  Stay in focus of where you belong!
Only you know the truth in your heart to be true,
    Yet still,
Our Father is always with you

Acts 20:24 However I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me- the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace.
