I want to write about the debilitating soulfulness with which I love you and your broken heart and gentle hugs.

I can't seem to find the words to describe how soft the blue of your eyes is.

I can't find the right bat of my eyelashes to show you what my mind is wrapped around.

I cannot laugh in the right way to express bubbling joy, swelling memories.

My heart aches itself to the size of a quasar, begging to find a word greater than love.
I'm but a spec of dust
eroding the cusp
of Aries and Taorus
Pack the semblance
of an avalanche behind
eyes torn with crust
Finished Tour de Combust
with a surfboard copped
from every soul hushed
just so I could say I did
it when no one else would
It's nice you have your friends;
It's nice everyone's got your back.
It's nice people think you're kind.
It's nice you're part of the team.

*Too bad I can never be that person
It's real
Wake up today.
SMILE.
Enjoy peoples company, even if you don't want to,
Turn your music loud, annoy your neighbors,
Paint and be creative,
Cry if you want to,
be so still you can feel your heart beat,
Drink a milkshake with the people closest to your soul,
sing to strangers
and laugh so hard you forget your pain deep inside.

DO WHAt EVER MAKES YoU FEEL HAPY TODaY.
WhAt EVER IGNITES YOUR SOUL.
LIVE
LIFE IS A BLESSING BABY.

saoirse
when I first met you
you were nothing more
than another face
but 6 months later,
you're the only face
I could ever find
in a crowded place
I scream into this piece of paper,
Vomiting up ink that seeps in,
But no one hears the pain of the silenced,

You just see the words and thoughts,
Not noticing a lot,
Notice nothing as I drain my veins,
Notice nothing of my writing in red

But I write to you again,
Hoping you can feel the pain behind the words,
Hoping someone would bleed for me,
For I am all but bled dry;
Optimism is my mask
Hurt is my soul
Pain my shield
Laughter my sword
Silence my wall
You may not enter
Trust is violent
Kindness my instrument
You can not have the bullet to end me
I hide the true me
