I did not need to touch you
To feel the warmth of your skin

There is imperfection in my words
Can you not feel the tremor in my voice?

So when I come off as inarticulate
Or fail when communication is needed
Forgive me for my shortcomings
For in my mind
I speak all the words
My mouth cannot seem to say

Can you accept the reality?
But can you also accept the fairy-tales
That await beyond the storm?

O' Costa Vida
That the heavens might ring
For glorious is thine corporate name
The sauce which you so delicately craft
Flows through my veins
And the sweet pork
Oh, the sweet pork
With one bite I am enslaved
As the taste bursts within my mouth
With the strength
Of Zeus' great lightning bolt
The inhabitants of the land Utah
Praise thee all the day
And may thy glory reign
Forever and ever
Amen

Insert humor here.

She wore her heart on her sleeve
Like a home decor item
Tucked tightly in the corner of the living room
Always seen
But never acknowledged

Words intended for paper
Are instead ink on her skin
She is decorated in cursive writing
Of painful poems now recorded
Because no matter how much
She tries to forget
The ink serves as a daily reminder
Of a broken heart
With broken words

I listen to music
In another language
Because it allows me to feel the emotion
And fill in the blanks
For my own story
