The kind of love
a butterfly feels
as she opens her wings to fly,
for the very first time-
after making the climb;
as caterpillar.

I'd imagine
in that moment-
She is thankful...

I wanna love like that.

Kind of ironic
it's the symbol that connects us
Two beating hearts, two different lives
And only our dreams left to unite us

Born together by the same mother and father
Fighting their battles as son and daughter
Never would've imagined this is where we'd be
Living as two siblings connected spiritually-
By a symbol.

My eighteenth birthday
A random surprise
Life brought us together to be eternally recognized
As the alpha and omega.

We really didn't know the roads of life
We didn't plan for heartbreak and strife
Life left you desperate gripping drugs and knives
Left me broken hearted as some bodies wife
Never the same
Always a different battle
But together we shake the world
We make men and women rattle-
People believe in us-
Cause they can see the truth
That these battles are our weapons
For encouraging the youth

So let your weary heart be rested
And may you find that life's a journey
One that we are living as symbols who united
We can stand the test of time
and all things that we fighted

The alpha is the beginning
The omega is the end
Together we're united - my brother, my best friend.
Dedicated to my brother, my other half, my opposite: John Wayne Cormier Jr.

It's kinda like finding out that
Romeo and Juliet must die-
It's the realization that
the only way to have snow
is if it's freezing.

I never asked for a "perfect" love-
I asked for an honest one.

I can handle the tragedies,
And the freezing cold;
The unfolding beauty that comes after
is worth it-
but don't ever,
ever tell me
that it's not supposed to be this way.

"it is supposed to be this way..."

Naive to believe
that there's nothing that i can't handle....
Although,
In the scheme of things there's a few things that could break me,
But all my heart ever cries for is honesty-
I can accept that Romeo and Juliet must die...

I can hear my wrist watch beating in my head like a constant reminder of you- tick, tick, tick, tick. And  I'm not complaining but it would nice to know if you think of me too. My room is silent again - the kind of silence that you can hear, I'm not sure if its true but in hoping you think of me too. It's the middle of the night and I lay awake writing- I'm not trying to be rude, but am I the only one fighting? Don't get me wrong, I'm not in a hurry, I'd wait five hundred years if Iknew not to worry- that one day- you will or won't, be mine.

Lets begin:
Soft skin-
A moment in,
You're afraid to let go.

I'm sick and tired
Of being sick and tired-
Running on emotions
Like a bad electrical wire

How many times do I have to hear your ****-
That's it-
I quit-
I'm over it.

You say that you love me,
That there can't be anyone else
Then you shove words down my throat
And threaten me with something else

I've stood strong for so long
Taking and taking
I've let you live your life
But now the bend is breaking

This is it for the taking
This is history in the making
It's me versus you-
And there is no mistaking...

I'm gonna let go of the past
Break the mold of this cast
This is history at last
I'm letting your bad love fade fast.

I've seen beauty in places no one thought to look
I've held on to hope when other feelings shook
I've been beatin down
And I've been held up
But one things for sure,
I won't give up.

I've seen love in some of the darkest places
I've seen beauty in some of the ugliest faces
I've been beatin down
And I've been held up
But one things for sure,
I won't give up.

I've watched a bad man do good
And I've seen a good man do real, real bad-
When the whole world seems to go mad
I won't give up-

Cause even when you get beat down
You find the hope to stand
And even when there seems no beauty left-
You'll see another man
And when that good person does something bad
You have to know it was their decision that was mad
So don't give up
Please, don't give up.
