The way that you make me feel doesn’t make sense.
I look into your eyes, and the whole world falls into place.
And when I’m not with you, I feel this dark emptiness grow inside of me.
It smothers me and causes so much pain.
Is this love that I feel? Or am I just insane?
I want to continue, carry on with the plan.
I want to love you endlessly, unconditionally and deeply.
And I’m hoping you’ll love me back if you can.
You’re perfect to me, and I hope that’s all you need
To fall in love, and let our ignorance take the lead

I have found, yes, I have found the wealth of the Divine Name's gem.
My true guru gave me a priceless thing. With his grace, I accepted it.
I found the capital of my several births; I have lost the whole rest of the world.
No one can spend it, no one can steal it. Day by day it increases one and a quarter times.
On the boat of truth, the boatman was my true guru. I came across the ocean of existence.
Mira's Lord is the Mountain-Holder, the suave lover, of whom I merrily, merrily sing.

Sitting with my chest tight
Trying not to fight the feeling you buried beneath my ribs
Sore lungs from screaming too long
Like a song that was torn apart and thrown together again
You were the bridge in my lyrical masterpiece
But that's broken now
I wish I could tell you how you stole my heart and ripped it in half
No I'm not mad, I'm disappointed
Disappointed in myself, because I thought I was stronger
Thought I could hold my head up longer
Keep my nose above water
But my feet can't even touch bottom
You were one of the butterflies i held in my stomach
Tiny creatures that only caused panic and worsened my nerves
Nerves that tore my fingernails till they bled
Nerves that kept me from resting my head at night
And raising it the next morning
I'm not depressed but its hard to be happy
The emotions I display are lacking
Only because I'd rather say nothing than regret thrashing you with my words
It might be nice to give you a piece of my mind
Gift wrap it and tie it with a ribbon
Throw it into the world and hope it finds it's way to you
I don't know what to do
The hearers and sayers are moving the truth around again.
Why are they always coming up with different reasons to die?

Especially when it is the world's hands at play;
Her gracious hands, wrapped in cellophane then thrown from the window with hate.

Oh and how we have shattered those precious porcelain fingernails.
All of that money gone to waste, burnt out on family funerals and stock exchange.

You should have spent more time outside in the shade,
Rather than lick the sweet taste of revenge off her switch blade.

To just spit back in the face of a once upon a time love.
It's the wanderers from the beginning that always come back for more.

Heaven has a special place reserved in hell for them.
It's only a matter of time before I'm trapped in between the two again.

So I'm back on the floor, with my face in the eye.
I have bitten off the last shadow.

They should be able to see the light soon enough:
But I let it slip again, out into the *nighttime stardust.
I'm still not sure of this one. I have been in a writer's block as of late and this was my attempt at breaking it. ("tear down the wall, tear down the wall, tear down the wall. . .") You get the picture.

Love, A.

Infamous one
I dont care for for ppl who lie
Dont say you like me but want to be with someone else
Dont tell me its over and keep going
Stop pretending to be my friend if you talk about me behind my back.
Dont make me look bad to make yourself look good.
So over all that ive cut ppl out of my life
Its lonely but not wasting my time with ppl who can't be trusted
Sick of being backstabbed my kindness mistaken as weakness
im open and honest why do you lie

I miss the feeling of being young and innocent with you
We get lost from each other only to be found in each other
A constant sway of confusion and temptation
But it will always linger on
I'd love to feel your touch again,
but I simply can not
Still, I treasure these scenes in my head
Still, I look forward to you coming home
Trying to forgive, forget, and move on
But the only love I know is yours
And it's your love that I crave so dearly
And neither of us want to be alone.
Watching more attentively than ever.
Sudden yet predicted change,
every second daunting.
What comes next is known
yet unknown,
clear
yet obscure.
As the hand spins
the vision blurs.
What comes next?
Another unprocessed thought?
Another tick in time?
Drawing so close you can hear it whisper,
feel it's swift hand,
taste it bitter.
Time goes on without a stutter
and here we are acting like we control it.

Silence

Silence
Broken with a scream

There were signs

A twitch of the eye
A snarl of the lip
A look of despair

Hunger

I ignored them
It was so easy to see only the veil
Watch it dance across your face with each saddened breath

And the silence grew

I did not hear it over the crickets
And the wind
If I had only listened
I would have heard it howling louder still

And it grew
The invisible pain
I felt you drift, willingly

So that when you screamed
We cried out together,

I am alone in silence!

The world too damp for the truth to ignite
Our words too loud to hear
You turn

I am alone in silence.
