I went blind
At the sight of you
I couldn't believe anything else I saw,
I went crazy
At the thought of you
I never wanted to be sane again,
I bowled with the moon
Alongside of you
Straight down the lanes
With you
It was par every time,
Strike after strike
All the fires lit
Could never be put out
As long as you were around,
I will never see
I will never think
I will never live
The same,
Without you...

I wished
That we were like waves
Not knowing
Where you ended
And I began,
That we were melded
Like clouds
And cotton candy,
Woven together
Easy to separate
But just as easy
To mesh as a whole,
A little bit of you
In me,
A little bit of me
In you,
We can be as one
Without the other,
But we're so much better
Together...

The tiny angel sleeps,
Wings carefully folded
Beneath the sheets
Dreaming whatever it is
That tiny souls do,
A minuscule piece of heaven
In peaceful slumber,
Soon the day will break
And laughter will ring
From this blessing
A hundred thousand choices
Came together
To make possible
Such existence,
A diminutive smile
That expands
A million times
Brighter than the stars,
A minutiae example
Of joy manifested...

Her beauty
Is spilt
Across a canvas
Of hurt,
She wears pain
Like blush
Sometimes heavy
And it smears
Through the tears
A pitter patter
Of suffering,
No one understands
Yet they're all beneath her,
A shooting star
Streaking across
Their otherwise plain sky
Her soul ablaze
Everyone wishes,
As the darkness surrenders
To her fiery light...

She looks
In all the mirrors
For the best side of her
She twirls
And asks
With longing eyes
The question
One always asks
Of their reflection,
And no answer
Is ever good enough,
Maybe if she were blind
She could finally see
The true side of her
That the world
Should really see,
The side that shines out
The brightness
Like a lighthouse,
From her soul...

Everywhere she goes
There I want to be,
Nowhere at all
Is where I would be
If she had never
Crossed my path,
When she arrives
I know where I am,
When she leaves
I wander,
Not lost
But not waiting to be found,
Until she's near once again
Metal to her magnetic,
I'm coming along
For a ride,
Everywhere is an open road
With the breeze in our hair
And all smiles without a care,
Doesn't matter where is here nor there...

Her blood flows
In bloom rosy
A plume of bright color
Against her fair skin,
She savors the pain
Alert she feels alive
For the duration
Of this ****** spectacle
Crimson tides
Undulating on a white beach
She's entranced
Amused at her own treachery,
Sinking further
Into the show,
A fiery spill
On snow,
Not fun
For her,
But spectators
Offer no words...
