I think there must be a waterfall in my chest
Because whenever I even think of you
I can just hear my feelings pouring forth,
Gushing,
Flooding my heart
With pure devotion

It honestly terrifies me
How much you mean to me

I'm slowly drowning in these feelings
And it's getting hard to breathe
But you probably don't even care
You're above feelings,
I bet

Especially about me

me.gs

Skeletal fingers
Reaching towards the sky
Wishing, hoping, wanting
For just a drop
Of water

They plead and beg
But nothing will come
Of it

me.gs

Your face,
More gentle than how the trees touch the water
How you move,
More graceful than the dance of branches in the wind
Your laugh,
Bubbling forth more peacefully than a stream

Nature is so beautiful
And it has captured my heart
But you just about

Have it beat

me.gs

Cold, clawed hands
       Gasping,
Reaching,

Tearing me

Apart




I'm drowning

me.gs

No words
Only pictures

I don't really know
What I could say that
Would even compare
To the beauty
Of the sunset before me

(This happens more than you'd think)

me.gs

Tonight is a night
For cheap cigarettes and cheaper whiskey
For getting mad at your parents
Who never taught you to love yourself
For letting those thoughts run through your head that
You'd never even consider if you were sober
For sitting in the cold and letting yourself freeze because
You deserve it

Tonight is a night for angry faces and angrier thoughts
For wallowing in self-pity

Tonight
Is a night
To be weak

Because when morning comes
You'll pretend it never happened

me.gs

The cold wind bites

It lets me know

I do not belong up here

I am not a tree, tall
Though I am.

I think, perhaps, I am not hardy enough,
Not uncomplaining enough

I am only a visitor,

Tem-po-rar-y
