This silence deafens me,
Surrounded by recurring faces,
In a room flooded with sound-
Yet I've never felt so alone

But I can't escape my mind,
Cannot run in the labyrinth of my soul;
Out of breath- yet so alive-
My imagination unleashed
into the ebony void of oblivion.

A key- no lock, a door- no handle,
Follow my footprints, I beg you please!
But they're invisible-
Washed away by the moonlit tide.

Painted masks, reflections and shadows
are all they see, yet why don't they realise?

I try to yell- and they're all listening,
Yet my scarlet voice fails to reach their ears.
Because no one can save me now- except myself.
And that's out of the question.

Read between the lines of an empty page-
Separated by slim yet strong walls of emotion,
This is my battle- of which I must fight.
I won't win, but what does that matter?

Stretched out empty hands
and the shards of a broken mirror,
The silent waters break my reflection.
And I have never looked more beautiful.

My pen has long since become hungry for ink-
Yet I still write
with the tears seeping from my eyes,
Long into the eternal night-
When the stars and I have drowned in the moons embrace.

And now, as the rain dances upon my window like piano keys,
I appear just as I should.
A swirl of ink. A jigsaw puzzle. Myself.

For my body does not own me,
Nor do I have the right to change it-
But still, I continue to do so.
For I need a slender frame. I need the scars.
But however much I long for them- they are out of my reach.

So no- I am not my body.
Merely a whisper of the wind,
An invisible footprint in the sand.

And my brain and my imagination
they merge together in a pallet of grey and rainbow,
Until all I have left to clasp onto
are the hands of time, and my steady heartbeat.
Two worlds collide- Enemies embrace.
Bridges collapse and tunnels cave in.

The impossible has been accomplished-
and I don't want it to stop.

What.
Have.
I.
Become?

Whats done is done whats gone is gone. Lifes most valuable lesson is moving on. If it was meant to be they would have stayed. They broke your heart and you got played. From the start they said they would be there, but where are they now? Where? They walked away like it was a game. This isn't a sport there is no hall of fame. Just pain. Your hearts now broke its shattered. They walked unto you, spoke and you became flattered. You wanted it to work, they didn't. One that chapter is closed you can't erase the words that have been written. It was a lesson, no wait a test. Could you handle what life gave you all day before you rest? Could you stop the bleeding and pick up the pieces as your leaving? Trying to fix your heart so afraid it will get torn apart. Wanting to get close to someone but your scared. You know what could happen is what you most fear. Someday we will all find that special someone who we care for a lot. Break us down they shall not. The type you chase is the type you choose. Just remember if its not meant to be, you will lose. I can't tell you who to love, that's up to you. But for once chase someone new. Now that its over and you got hurt. Promise me please you won't chase the first flirt.

My imagination runs wild with thoughts of you.
Your footsteps forever embedded in the sand of the beach that is my mind.
"Why sleep?" I used to ask myself.
Now I crave sleep, for in my dreams we can spend an eternity together.
We are not what people say we are, or what we say we are.
We are lovers, dreamers, stowaways, addicts.
We will live on and love on forever,
In our own little infinity.

I am a puzzle
Who's pieces all fit 'cept one
The one that does not fit
is not one but several
which one will be the one to complete me?

We were nothing
yet we were a theory.
Tossed around,
Debated over time,
but there was never enough evidence
For us to be an actual law.
