I didn't want to tell them
My words didn't seem to fit
The emptiness inside my heart
I've hidden all too quick

But I know that if I reveal
A sliver of what lies there
They'll change everything they've ever done
They'll try to be fair

I know in my mind I don't want that
But my heart tells me I need it
Something to bandage my wounds
Something to cure the scars with

So I don't say anything
But speak as loud as I can
Hopefully they'll catch on
But I know they haven't because they would've ran
The flame to this fearsome beast, shifts with the wind,
This flame in our darkness, glows until unable,
The flame to this monster, changes from hope to despair in seconds
This flame is as humans are…
Destructive, yet inspirational.

quite an old one, back from when i was first starting to write, so its about two or three years old.. x-x
Hair as wild as the Amazon                 Hair crazy and wild
  holding secrets I do not                 that tickles me when we
   wish to know                                  sleep in a drunken haze
                                                            ­               on a tiny bed

   Eyes that scream an                   Eyes colored and different
   intensity I do not                                   that see through the
   wish to pierce me                       smokescreen of my words
                                                           ­                   of deception

Voice as deep                                 Voice that calls me back
as the Mariana trench                       to a place of sanity
  I do not wish to hear                            caressing me to                                     at 4 am                                                    comfort   

Heart tender undercooked flesh           Heart as big as the
  I do not wish to see tear                   population of india
                                                     loving my scars and bruises
                                                         ­       unconditionally

      Keep away .                *Please stay, just one more day.
Each characters story and adventure has,
Not the same plot,
However, the same emotions.
Their laughter fills my air,
Their first kisses make my lips tingle,
Their happiness leaves a constant smile upon my face,

Their wit and courage bring tears to my eyes,
Their fears and ambitions make reality seem plain boring,
Their delay of reactions and disorientation's help to remind me that their only human...
Everything about them seems so real,
That when they concur obstacles beyond their abilities
All I can do is smile knowing that I had the faith to continue reading their tale.

- E.A.F
When words were my only comfort.
