Lonely and lost I read the
Obituary of my heart. It is
Verbose yet vague.
Everyone silently sits, listening to the
Story of its break. I am sick with the thoughts of its
Corruption and contamination against love. It
Keeps me from moving on.

I believe in first glances
And second chances,
That the third time is a charm

If in the end I stumble and I fall
I know it was worth it all.
I'll have no regrets.

I put all my faith in a feeling,
All my heart in hoping.
But somehow I always end up heart broken.

Is this how it ends?
No 'happily ever after',
Not even just friends?

Bits of my heart scatter upon the floor while I
Run from razorblade rain that rips into me.
On and on I run but I can’t get dry.  A
Knight in shining armor races past me to another and
Ever after passes me by.
Nothing is right in my fairy tale.

Scared to smile around you so I stumble.
Tumbling and fumbling and shaking
Under your spell. I've been
Mistreated and defeated I'm a
Brambling idiot. I'm afraid of
Loving and living and leaving.
Eternity is such a long time to go without love.

I've fallen off the radar.
fallen between the cracks
and I don't know if I have
the strength, or the courage, to make it back.

The world disowned me.
The world set me free.
But I don't know now who I am supposed to be.

I'm in a state of suspended animation
hanging by a thread
from a needle that is my life.

My mood is like spring showers,
dismal and gray,
Saturating and lasting for days.

So out of control. Hiding
Underneath the clouds.
Never stirring from my spot. I'm always
Sleeping in the
Haze. Spending my days
In and out of rays. I
Need there to be an
Ever after.

All day long I begged you To let me ride your brand new bike.As soon as the guests were gone,And the party nothing but scattered gift-wrap,I snuck outside and snatched your big kid bike.My face still covered in cake, and heart racingI jumped on, I peddled down the hillSoon the cement walk ended, gave way to grass.I slammed the breaks, they failed and I went on.I was airborne, going over the stone wall.I let out a screech and mom came running.My arm twisted, the bone sticking out.Mom screamed and auntie came running
