"History changes"
Said the old man,
Deep crows' feet lining his
Sunken in blue eyes, as he
Led us through a library.
And I think those old books agreed,
As they tiredly watched me
From their glass prison.

My name
Is something of a
Revelation.
And maybe I'll
Never understand, but
Dance naively,  
Acceptingly.

I have this vision in my head
Of your back turned,
Your arm wrapped around
The one that cradled you.

It was mine.

My lips rested gently on your back,
Just above your tattoo,
Barely visible in the light,
And I felt your labored breathing.
Rhythmic yet
Riddled with pain.

I'm sorry.

I know I'm not her but
I tried.
And I'm not sure but
I hope you fell asleep there,
Dreaming and in comfort,
At least for the time being.

High as a kite on a star
I'm not far
From humanity,
Entirely.
Remember me
From what I was
Inside of me.
Of what
Insanity
Carried on
A part of me.
Sleepily memorize temporarily,
Rarity,
Even be
To thee
Thine.

I'm not sure if this is
A sickness of the mind or
Of the body.
Not sure if this cough is
Me spitting regret.
Not if this scar is
Real or imagined-
If I lost my voice or
I can't speak.

Crickets are a drum,
And summer a dance
My eyelids a song,
Heavy but bright
Like the stars are strong.
I'd sing along,
But my voice is gone
And my mind's in flight,
Pondering life.

I remember,
As a child,
The loneliness that
Pulled at my chest,
Thinning my heart
Until it stretched so far
I couldn't see the ends.

And I'd cry.
And I'd think.

And I'd think that
All I needed was a little bit of love.
A little bit of adoration
From manlier lips,
A kiss.

So I'd try
And I'd cry,
Because the more I tried,
The more I failed.

And it's kind of funny now,
Because kisses only seem
To make me lonelier.
And in the middle of a crowd now,
I die.

I'm still sad inside.
I really don't like this out of all of my other stuff, I don't think it has as much quality,, but I figured I'd put it up anyways.
