Clouds
fall down,
swallowed
snowflakes,
melting inside
the mouth
of the mountain.
I am lost
in the abyss
of the hole
you left me with.
heart-broken.

its a truth ' they broke the mould when you were born'
so do not frustrate yourself with trying to fit in to some notion of what it means to live to the full. You are already unique and consequently only a unique way of life will content you.

letting go the frustration
I found freedom
and dared to be
and dared to be me.
speechless
as you read to me
I watch your lips move
but find myself
hearing only the thought
of kissing your pretty mouth
speechless

We've lived to expressed those wonders
we thought and felt,
in the depths of our emotional journey,  
our words sours
in highs and lows.
-
a fine balance
at crucial times
equally stable
in fate and its tales.
-
essence of time
solidify our strength
through choices predicts our
future yet more often
never to the exact extent.
-
our old sheets may fade
and our ink might run dry
we should never
lose ourselves
even the smallest
drop of hope
creates big ripples.

long term memory--
i forget to forget you
a fingerprint
i wear your touch
all over my skin
all over my heart

im starting to think
you're inescapable
and somedays
knowing there are still pieces of you
deep within me
is bittersweet

especially those fragments
of good memories
the ones i fight to keep
the ones that cloud my sleep
the ones that make me weep

i keep
forgetting
to forget you
because
i still love you

and thats not so easily forgotten
even if the heart is broken
back against the wall
again feeling so very small
falling down hard
like raindrops often do
in the fierce ferocious storm

unending nerve cells
swell with pain
a well of screams
all screaming the same thing
"i am tired, so very tired"

sometimes
i want to give up so badly
i feel my heart
close in on itself
stop beating in its tracks

then beat again...
as i pick myself up again
knowing this is not the end
only the beginning
of brighter days ahead
the light grows
ever closer in the distance
where once
there was an end
i see the hope of new beginnings
