You're the sky
you're the moon
you're everything people take in
that takes their breath away.
The moment of pure bliss
and peace,
is everything you make them feel.
Your laughter is star dust,
it twinkles and shines bright
in any room you're in
And leaves behind a trail
for them to admire.
There is a universe inside
There is more to you
that we all see
that you may never know.
But I pray
one day
you do.

Dazed
Stumbling through
My formerly put-together life
Fallen around me
This is the first time
My memories are
More dangerous
Than reality

1.
Lips
Hold my hips
Losing grip
And if your hand
slips
I wont
Complain.

2.
Eyes
Social ties
Alabis
Darkerlies
Matching
the darkness
Of your eyes

3.
Hands
Hear the bands
Making us dance
And sing
Together
Roaming, finding
Break the wall dividing
Touching
Until
Wevare
Numb

4.
Thighs
Drawing eyes
Revealing lies
Holding
Virtue.
Fingers graze
Mind in a haze
The final
Step
Is

5.

I used to be a day person
Now I favor night

Because at night I can sit in my room alone and let my guard down
But during the day there are to many eyes

Everyone's watching me
Judging my every move

Occasionally someone will ask how I'm doing
And each time I reply I'm fine
Only I'm not

At night there's no chance of seeing you
No chance of having to hide that pain in my chest
No chance of being reminded that you're no longer mine

At night I can cry without being questioned
I can let the pain in without having someone know
But most importantly

At  night I can have dreams of you
And the day we can be together again

when am i going to be
enough

A group of loved ones waiting in a hospital room
They all watched anxiously as the doctor walked towards them
His steps seeming to drag slower and slower by the second
As he delivered the news
Each word came out heavier than the next

The boy listened and with shock filled eyes he realized
His mother wasn't coming back
He would never again hear her say I love you

He quickly thought back to all the years he spent away from her
Now just time wasted

Because all the future memories were gone in seconds
While the present ones were shattered by words

So it was there in that small cramped room
Surrounded by watching eyes that he hid the torture in his own

I can promise you nothing because I am nothing. We are nothing. Because I will not go down in history and neither wwill you because I prefer to read books than write them and you prefer to run from problems than face them. And we are in a void of black water. We are sinking and desperately flailing. Because our time is up. The labyrinth of us and our suffering is finished because we are finished. All I can give you is kiss goodbye and i hope you find someone who loves you at noon as well as 2 am. You deserve simplicity, music that fills your ears and doesn't empty your heart like the music I made you listen to. I was dark and you were light. I was the moon and you were the sun. We crossed paths and landed in the sky at the same time occasionally but I did not want to orbit you. And maybe you will find someone who will be happy to follow your light but I've always pick the black shadow over the white rose. And Im still not sure if you were less than enough for me or if I was inadequate for myself. But I've made my choices, nonetheless.

Loving you reminded
Me of a lightning strike;
Metoric, powerful, and fierce.
Everytime your skin
Brushed mine,
It felt like you
Sent billions of volts
Of electricity through
my body  
Leaving no nerve untouched.
Your fingertips shocked my skin
Everytime you put your
Hands on me,
Leaving intricate scars
Across my body.
Your kisses stung, but I craved them.
You were dangerous,
Yet wondrous.  
And I was drawn to you.
