There was a time
When I was never really sure

I try not to worry

I'm scared as Hell

I tell myself that I'll be strong
(The only time I feel safe
In all my prayers)

If you can hear me now
I'm sitting waiting wishing

For a lullaby

To fade away to
TH SHUFFLE PROMPT
- Lights (Ellie Goulding), Angel of Mine (The Icarus Account), Stop Crying Your Heart Out (Oasis), Lullaby (Nickelback), and Sitting, Waiting, Wishing (Jack Johnson)

I wish I could say beautiful things, but I can't
only bitterness
drips
from these
cracked lips
and drops into your warm sweet mouth
in the form  of  a "kiss"
like black ink it expands
into all spaces it can
leaving you rather breathless
in a horrible self doubting kind of way

I wish I could say beautiful things, but I can't
beauty only escapes from where it exists
I've been searching for years now
I've been wanting to create it
but never known how
it is too dark to see
into the depths of me
into the black hole that is I
why do I feel the need to make you cry
so much of the time.

I wish I could say beautiful things, but I can't .
if I could,
I'd tell you how you shake me
and have opportunities to break me
yet you don't
I'd tell you I wish I knew how to love,
I wish I had the ability to hug,
the way you do
through
and
through
and
through.
I yearn to do
so much more for you

I wish I could say beautiful things, but i can't.
because you are the only beautiful thing
about me.

Lying here by the sea
The waves, crashing over me
I sigh, I sigh, a sign of relief
I breath in peace
Raise my head to meet the seagulls gaze
Flying high, flying free
Peacefully
They rest upon the pier
I join them, taking in the sights and sound I am at ease for once.
Objects bob, upon and down,
In rhythm with the ocean
They create a beat
That I am in tune with
It becomes part of me,
I am part of it
We are one
In this moment nothing else exists
Just myself and this place.
And for that moment I am happy.
No worries, no concerns.
Just glad to be.
I want to keep the feeling, lock it up, save it for a rainy day.
But it is fleeting, it shan't remain, i must salvage it, in my memory, my
bones.
I come to see this release, to live in the moment I lie in the grass, fall
asleep and dream, happy dreams, magical places, then nothing.
Today -
It is a Winter's day
But
The sun is burning so brightly
It sears my eyes
The temperature is perfect
The weather
Is reminiscent of Spring

Today -  
I buried someone
All clothed in black
And weariness

Today
*I buried myself

I never told my story,
I never shared with anyone.
Maybe because it hurt to much
To remember the gory details.
But one night I opened up
To you.
I poured my soul into a glass
And offered it
To you.

My souvenir from last night?
Scratches down my legs from the tangled brush.

Not a kiss on the lips,
Not a cuddle in the cold,
Not even a belated Christmas present.
Scratches.

I set myself up for failure
Every time.
