I know
That no one is perfect
but why do we have to play by the rules
because you are perfect
For me..
I'm not looking for some superhero
I don't need Ghandi
I really wouldn't like an Einestein
from Harvard or Yale
All I'm looking for is someone
who will recognize my flaws
and embrace them
who will see my fears
and protect me from them
who will notice my passions
and help me to achieve my goals
Someone who will see me crushed
just to pick me up and make me fly
and who will decide to soar with me
Honestly, all that I'm looking for
Is *you
You said to get my head out of the clouds
You said I was standing on thin ice
So I fell
crashing through the ice
but now my head is underwater
Black
Grey
Fading
Mist
lurking in the shadows
but if one were to look closely enough
they would see these hidden figures
almost resembling a person
Merely a shadow
forgotten amongst its virtues
and its beliefs
but if you can squint
tilt your head to the side
look really closely
then you might be able to see
these hidden shadows
they can tell their tales
of life
loss
and sorrow
so if you can see them
don't forget to say hi
...
You hover above me
kindly watching me paint
but before my brush can touch the canvas
a single tear falls
from where you stand
painting my white canvas for me
you may as well
could have splattered the canvas with red
A tear can say it all
You hover above me
kindly watching me paint
but before my brush can touch the canvas
a single tear falls
from where you stand
painting my white canvas for me
you may as well
could have splattered the canvas with red
A tear can say it all
Run
run
All I remember is the crashing sound
of the old brown door slamming behind me
I'll do anything to get out of here
Get me away, away, away

I raced through the trees
The greenery wizzing by me
My knees began to weaken but I ran on
My chest heaving, I look up to the clouds
Help me*
I choked down a sob

I, I'm not strong enough
I, I can't do it
Just let me go

But, I, I, I-
I c a n 't
The hoarse whisper of my voice
dies with the sweeping of the wind
My legs fail
I fall

Crushing the autumn leaves
beneath my body
I sigh

I am finally away
I'm gone
I have achieved what I came here to do
And my eyes close
for the last time
Only on the phone for a minute
But your hand shakes
as if it had
a thunderstorm
brewing inside it

The phone falls from your hand
crashing down onto the
dusty pavement

Your cheeks are red
your eyes brim with tears
You blink hard and bite your lip
muttering
I'm fine
And you run off to your room
footsteps like a mouse

I didn't know
that I wouldn't see you again
for the next week
I don't know
Watching you walk toward me
like a cat hunting its prey
But I remain stuck in the air
This place of agony and pain
I force myself not to go
Not go come running,
crumbling into your arms

And I look deep into your marble blue eyes
Refusing to break my strong gaze
Never
I gasp
Again
Sighing,
I turn around
Not to look at you
standing there with your slitted blue eyes
ever again.
again, random thoughts put into words.
