I wake up in a dream
and see you smiling,
in the kingdom of slumber
you are my only queen.

i lie next to him
his tan skin and his sleeping soul
and he's so beautiful

To the words that flow uninterrupted,
Misconstrued to a poet's imagination
Sketching, painting, plotting, twisting.
To the silence that reigns everything around
To the peace found in the eye of the storm
Perched in a corner, for all of life to be written down.
An inborn error, discovered, captured, tamed and taught
Wild to the mind and food for the soul
Words become friends and sworn enemies.
A journey of words and faces, realms of an untapped drive
That writes words like ant trails on paper
A prelude to a poet's mind.

I feel like a part of me has died
Now that our love has ended
But then again
It was never love at all

You stole the smile from my eyes
My sight is dimmed
My heart is hardened from your lies

Now I know how big of a nothing I am
You took my innocence
And I’ve transformed into a dam

You better be careful I’m about to overflow
My emotions are rising
I don’t want to care, but it’s hard to let go

I can’t help it I still want you
You were my first
You’re in my DNA, but I want to be someone new
