Why do I feel like this?
Nothing's changed.
It's just the same old thing day after day.
Yet some days I'm fine,
Others I'm not,
Why do I feel like this?

let us plan a future, a life beyond here
map our journey, then rearrange
tear up the remaining, and toss it aside
take me everywhere, in no place particular
discover a new corner of the world
find a cranny under a tree
kiss me under painted skies
and stare into my eyes in one of the world's wonders
make the land jealous of your touch
make the branches dance in eagerness of your attention
take me to places hidden away from the eyes of anyone
this world squanders the beauty of its abandoned secrets
let us seek and discover what it has hidden
hidden underground the fresh and damp dirt
hidden behind walls of vegetation
hidden beside rocks in forceful rivers winding through open land
and maybe, find ourselves hidden within the world itself

In the middle of the night
I am wide awake
Craving you
Wanting your love
Needing your love
I've been counting the days since you've been gone
My mind bubbling over with frantic thoughts
An itching under my skin I can't scratch
Sometimes the world seems to disappear
And I'll see you standing right in front of me
But then just as fast you are gone
Then I find myself in a completely different world again
Lying on the floor unable to pull myself up
Or even remember exactly where I am

                       Just one more touch....

                                                     ­                   Thats all I need...

Love is a curious thing
It builds us up
And breaks us down
It creates and destroys
Brings happiness and sadness
Everyone wants it
Craves it
Needs it
Until it breaks you
Until you find yourself ruined in the aftermath of love gone wrong
And you begin to think that you would be better off without love
That you don't need it
Or want it
But would you really?
Would you be better without that heartbreak?
Would you have learned those lessons
Or made those same realizations about love
And life
And joy
And laughter
And sorrow?
Isn't it better to go through the sorrow and come out on the other side
Happier
Wiser
Stronger?
So that one day
You can find love again
A better, stronger, happier love
Because isn't that what everyone wants?

You
I fall asleep
with your name on my lips
and thoughts of you
in my restless mind

And I wake with the taste of you
lingering on my tongue
and your beautiful face
seared into my closed eylelids

I will be there,
When you are falling apart,
When you have tears in your eyes,
When you have nothing left to live for,
When you have everything to lose,
I will be there.

The question is
Will you be there?
