There it was again.
What is it about you that I can't resist?

There it was again.
You nudge me and smile, like the first time we kissed.

There it was again.
Friendship like no other, haunting me forever.

There it was again.
Tears in my eyes for everyone to see.

There it was again.
A seed of thought growing in its own fantasy.

There it was again.

There it was again.

Engulf me in your fire,
Set my eyes aflame,
Don't take me for a liar,
Kiss me in the rain.

Feelings

your lips against mine.
Linked.
Your heart beating, and mine;
Not.

Open books, and close them.
Memorise the words,
Recite.
Use words to hide emotions.

You don't need those, emotions.
Emotions, emotions.
Tell your self to block them out.
Forget what you feel.

Feelings are weak.
You need to be strong to survive.
Survive the storm, just the storm.
Feelings are weak.

Feelings are loud. Demand to be heard.
Echo through your body.
Through your life.
Through your mind.

Turn up the music.
Drown them out.
Turn off your phone.
Drown them out.

Feelings are weak.
You don't need them.
Tell yourself you don't need them.
Feelings are weak.

I lost control, with music in my ears
Sweet voices claiming my soul

I danced alone. For I am alone.
And it is chaotic yet beautiful.
And it is lonely yet comforting.

Calm down. Calm down I scream.
Forget the ghosts that haunt you.

And with winter on your tongue
Cut loose your heart.

Forget.
Forget.

Ink Stains

Tea drips on pages filled with your thought,

happy and pensive, and demons to be fought.


Tears fall on pages filled with hopes,

stupid boys and breaking hearts, strung together with ropes.


Ink stains on pages, mapping out your life,

your triumphs, your failure, your pleasures, your strife.


Write your soul,

Sing your pain.

Forget your critics

and just watch what you’ll gain.

I just feel
there
Not like I exist
But like I'm just...
there.
a crest of brittle, foaming sea,
a wave that crashes over me;
divided with uncertainty,
You fight yourself so mirthlessly.

no burden to my heart, you see,
Your smile causes it to bleed
and pulse and beat, in quickening,
a rhythmic lift so heavenly.

an ocean where the neurons breathe,
and sifting me so perfectly,
like sands across the jagged reefs,
bending back, and cleansing, me.
Edited 6/26/15:

L3:  "splitting" changed to "divided"

L4, 6:  I also changed some capitalization to create some thematic clarity, since the title is like a universal prefix for almost all of the lines.

she thought that when she closed her eyes the world would be better
she thought that good would fill the bad
that happiness would fill the sad
she thought that the world would glow with smiles

she thought that if she closed her eyes the hurt would be sweet
she thought that the beatings wouldn't bruise
that the names wouldn't sting
she thought that her lids would shield her from pain

she thought that imagination could overcome reality
she thought that if she told herself everything would be okay, it would
but her eyelids didn't shield her
and her words didn't heal her

and the world remained untouched
and the beatings still bruised up
and for the first time she saw
the ring of fire encircling us all
