the dead bird
outgoing?
I'd say outspoken
never been arbitrary
or overbearing-
just vocal

my passion runs deep
and pours out
excited
overflowing
when it finds
another soul to share it with

the energy
others direct towards me
I absorb
and like a mirror
reflect it back towards them

the energy
that rests inside me
is like water
waiting
for an outside force
to heat me up
excite
my molecules
or
to cool me down
mellow
the chaos inside me
making me stable
making me solid

if being an extrovert
makes me
popular and
domineering,
a fun-loving,
party animal
who lacks introspection,

tell me why
I always choose
to isolate myself

why
my few friends I do have
I keep at a distance
except when I force myself
to enjoy their company
once or twice
in a year

why
I am easily talked over
my words drowned out
ignored
like background noise
my input
apbrubtly halted
as others drive over it
making it no more
than the dust
their tires kick up
why I let them
talk over me
rather than raise my voice

why I would rather
read in solitude
than go to a party
or play a video game
rather than socialize
why
would I choose
to ponder existence
over
existing with others

extroverted
means I get my energy
from external events
rather than the internal

I am not a synonym
for gregariousness
clearly venting angrilly through prose

". . . said I didn't want to create memories,
      the truth is . . .

I don't want to have
 s p e c i a l    m e m o r i e s
life isn't made out of special times . .

    *. . . o r d i n a r y
   m e a n i n g l e s s   things
that  you experience each day,
the moments that you don't even notice
is what makes your life. . .


*Everybody has a fare share of these things."
These are lines from a manga I read,  beautiful isn't it? Title is "blackbird"
We ate dinner with friends
You insisted that you like her
But they want us to be together, so am I
But then you kept on denying me
Finding reasons that we shouldn't be together
Now you asked me do I feel okay?
I answered yes, okay and stupid enough to wait for you.
When we had dinner with friends. They were sweet in front of me. I put up my mask and tried to be happy.

Into Darkness
This terrible noise is my damnation,
Its awful shrieks make me think.
When I said I was fine,
I lied.
There is no life behind these eyes.
Silence cries
Its terrible lies,
*"Why even try?"

I can't sleep
I can't think
Until these words are out of me
But they seem
To prefer to be
Nestled somewhere out of reach
Even when we
Find release
They will haunt us eternally.
Until death brings
Some sort of peace
I'll gulp down these fickle longings.
Meh.

Who made this existence, not you nor I
But the day the swallows began to fill the sky
We remembered the things we shouldn't have done
The revolution of our minds had begun
There were smoke clouds and bombs,  our tears ran like rain
None of us willing to go there again
Our intentions were clear, our desires not met
They tried to fight back, longed for us to forget
Our minds turned to hatred, our souls turned to why
Who made this existence, not you nor I
We are searching for the answer we will never receive
We do not cry for our lost ones, we will not grieve
The day dead bodies littered the ground
They all lay silenced, not making a sound
We have no answer, we do not know why
Who made this existence, not you nor I

Hate girls looking at you
Like a flower waiting
For a honey-bee to love

When I am around you

Hate girls looking at me
Like a crane waiting
For a golden fish to jump

With eyes of jealousy

Never taking your eyes
Holding my hand
Walking forward with

A smile of assurance
Giving me the feel
I just belong to you !

Daydream Believer
Falling truly and madly in love comes at the most unexpected of times.
It hits you hard when you think there is no possibility of anyone ever loving you.
It makes you feel like you are on top of the world and flying over everyone.
It makes you so giddy that you sometimes need to just lay on the floor to calm down.
But falling in love has its side effects.
It makes you question wether the other person feels the same way.
It makes you throw your whole self into the fantasy going through your mind and tunes out the rest of reality.
It keeps you up late at night and wakes you up early in the morning.
But there is no avoiding love.
Love is a tricky thing and no matter how hard you try to not let it take over you entirely, it does and forever will.

...They had gone for drinks. Then dancing. Then kissing. Then that night as he lay on her brothers spare couch, too drunk to drive, she kissed him goodnight. He wanted more and she wanted nothing more than to have it.
...
Two days later they were in a sweet little tent of sheets. Two days after that they were there again. And again for a week. She swore the air was foggy, the way his big hands and even bigger arms made her feel was like something out of her deepest longings. They took off each others glasses and looked into each others blurry eyes, her hair was curling in that wet air, her cheeks were red and he was falling quickly down her caverns. He kissed her face until the sun came up and then willed it to go back down. But she had other things to do.

Eugene had schemes and dreams for Davina, he wanted to take her far away and make her happy. He could too and she knew it. Terrified, she ran away swift and quick. She was in such danger of being content with the heart of someone else. He barely saw her go.

The air wasn't wet anymore, her waist was lonely without his fingerprints. But her eyes were dry and strong her thighs.

She burned the cabin down, left him with her lavender lace and took back her blurry eyes.

Your eyes were always bigger than what your mouth could carry.
I don't know why I let you keep me clinched between your teeth.
I always loved you enough,
But for you it was too much and not quite enough
all at once.
I wonder how big I would've had to make my heart swell
Before you realized how well you could
have fit inside it before.
I dedicated my time learning to mold myself around you,
Trying to teach myself the normalcy of being intimate;
Using my best efforts at embrace.
Little did I know the tighter I squeezed you,
the looser you held.
I spent months wondering how on earth I gripped you
with all my might,
'til my skin peeled back and showed bone,
Yet you still managed to slip through the spaces between my fingers.
I guess I forgot you liked sand
because of how easily you could knock down your castles.
