She wrote me letters in smiles
That told me to while away
The lazy days and read each letter on her face.
But when I replied I was forlorn
It seems her mail address was wrong

Her weapon was a stick of chalk
And her black board was my clean slate
With every word she'd talk away my fate

She taught me to imagine
And tied my wanderings down
Until exams were things that deserved a crown

Thoughts would end and curiosity was piqued.
And doubt and questions were words to be critiqued.

You held me in your hands
When you knew I was poison
Because you were my reason

When I told you to let go
You held tighter knuckles whiter
Than the winter snow

But when I needed you most
When I asked you to stay
You took your last sip
And gave me away.

We are all paper pens
Stemmed in ink
What we write splashes back
And sinks in our skin
Cuts deeper than blood
And bleeds within
Finds a link in the flood
And is ink again

Then there's words that splash
And thoughts that crash
Upon our paper backs
And lash deep
Cut steep into the knib
Like a knife to the ribs
Or a lie to the lips

And from that lash
The **** makes the pen skip
But the ink still bleeds
Pools and words
Like tools to be heard
Tunes to the herd
That soothes up the hurt
Or destroys their worth

We are what we word
Or so I heard
Cause in the end
We're just paperpens
Stained while we stain
Until only ink remains

Hello
It's been a while
Since my pen touched paper
Or even remembered the stories I've written on you.
The ink's spilled and run dry
But in its reflection I view
That I am paper too.
You drew
Mysteries
And memories
And smeared tears into stains
That bled from the veins
Shed all the pain, yet
Kept the heart
Left me
Art

The moon like a lily,
Blooms from the clouds,
Carried on a wispy cirrus shroud
Floats on the sea of the sky like the foam
And sinks to the depths of the ocean her home.

Here in the widerness
There's much you should know
Like how to make less seem like more
Or look past impressions and behind smiles.
To know who really cares and is therefore worthwhile.
Know how to turn loss to a profit in days,
By redefining profit a hundred ways.
And making the most of life's little fails,
Because chances are you will never prevail.
So welcome to the wilderness, learn how to lie.
It's a nicer way to live before we all say goodbye
