am empty until         you fill me
am broken until        you heal me
am lost until               you find me
psalm 103

You're the light in the morning,
the stars at night;
the first person I look for,
and the person I can never find;
you left me here, and I thought I was happy,
but saying I'm happy isn't quite right;
you are my other half, in a funny sort of way,
which makes you always on my mind
nearly night and day.

Hold on
you can't take that
it's mine
now that ones yours
Now you know better
Rip
It's worthless now
close the door
from behind this now I see
nothing belongs to you
And nothing belongs to me
**** it,
take another shot of whiskey,
with me.
Stumble to the liquor cabinet,
and let,
me stare down the barrel
of a loaded bottle
of Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7,
a fluid bullet pulling
teeth to the tip of the tongue.
**** it,
get close and smell my perfume —
soon we'll dance.
Stand in my room,
soon we'll lay down.
**** it, you're good.
Better with a bottle.
High praise for Jack Daniel's,
because when you drink
you think you like me —
like an occupation.
i catch myself staring sometimes
it isn't my fault
she always wears the ones with a little bow on them
i try to resist
but i can't
i can't resist her
i could never
i will never
she says that will all change
one day
she says i'll resist her
i'll be immune to her touch
but the truth is
for once
she's wrong
i melt at her touch
under her fingertips
in her eyes
on her lips
and her tongue
i will gladly be her all
if she'll be mine
Our paths divide, yet our hearts collide
Oblivious eyes and poisonous lies
Rose petal rain and tears of pain

Yet through it all, I've leaped to fall
Hope for me that I find my peace
Or a simple smile at the least

As I fly away to my simplistic fate
I leave you three words, and nothing more to say

I love you
I used to love you
Used to put no one above you
Used to think no one could love you
Like I loved you,
And then you met him.
I used to love our favorite place
Used to drink in the sound, the face
Used to enjoy how the food would taste
When we ate together,
And then he took you there.
I used to love the sky
Used to sing as we would fly
Used to laugh when planes flew by
Because we didn't need wings,
And then he took you higher.
I used to love your eyes
Used to see through your disguise
Used to marvel as both our lives
Grew as flowers towards the sun,
And then he grew taller.
I used to love a songbirds verse
Used to think death was the worst
Used to wish time would stop or reverse
So my memory of you would last,
And then I used to love you.

I take a pathless journey to my inner core
I'm free of travel paraphernalia, but eager to explore,
I leave behind along the line souvenirs of my mind,
sometimes jolly, sometimes sorry,  I crave no coat of memory.
I need no future foolish notions or dreams of possibilites,
on this journey of self discovery I am present wholly.
I take everything at its face, the beauty of now I embrace.  
Without any expectations, sailing light and free,
to the temple of beginnings and cessations,  
with my loved ones journeying next to me.

I’d like you to know that someday you’ll be looking up to me.
I may not be the strongest person in the universe.
But I do have strength.
I may not be the most beautiful woman in the world.
But beauty doesn’t affect my beliefs.
I may not be able to help you.
But God knows, I will sure as hell try.
Someday you’ll look up to me.
Not as a god.
Not as a queen.
As a friend.
As a source of inspiration.
Within these vignettes, I hope you find yourself amongst my words.
I hope you realize what it is you want in life.
I hope you realize what you’re wants are.
I hope you strive for your dreams.
And maybe someday you’ll look back on this, and realize how much it may have helped.
How much these words touched your heart.
For that is my dream.
I don’t want to be a king.
I do not strive to be envied.
I do not long to be in history.
I simply want to be heard.
I want you to cling to my words, like they’re your umbrella, in a storm.
I wish you’d hear me.
That’s all I want.
To be heard.
It’d be a marvelous thing.
To know that I, a young, manic, woman from a small no-good town, has made her way into someone’s heart.
Into someone’s head.
Cling to my words.
For they are my virtue.
They’re all I have.
I wish you’d understand.
I wish you’d look through these pages, and find what it is that you’ve been looking for.
Please.
Someday.
Someday I’ll have helped people.
Someday I’ll maybe have helped you.
