War
War is so much more
in minds and silent
heart
no talk
ignore
Than conventional
thoughts War ever
was.

I've been reading the diary I kept
an entry for everyday I lived
each night before I slept.
Elton John was my everything
cherry lip gloss n' faded jeans
winning my first spelling bee
my first kiss/his first slap
made the boy step on back.
Laughy taffy with good friends
Bubble Gum/******* Jacks
First Crush/Late Night
(gave my mom a total fright)
-14-
"Kenny Johnson"
Just three words...
"Oh, my god!"
I'm gonna die..
I'm in love with his blue eyes.
Ice Skating/Track Meets
hungry all the time
First job really bit...
worked so hard to be a hit
Fast forward...
-15-
Innocence
I want a Prince
Tough year/Tons of fear
(Does everyone feel this weird?)
Football games/Friday nights
SNL, and Popcorn Fights
Mean Girls show up here
I kick their bums to the curb
(They don't ever cross this nerd)
Summer Camp way out West
College Boys are the best!
J.D. Salinger made me cry
when I read..
"The Catcher In The Rye"
-16-
No more entries after this...
Just these memories of when I was..
just a young girl in search of love.































and read a ton of books...
I dreamed of being a writer someday
(extremely kind with a complex mind)
and sporting killer looks.

Looking back
on everything that
happened so fast
I have now realized
I was forcing logic upon
a situation that made no sense.

I was blaming you
because the truth
of facing the reality
that it really all does
fall down on me.

You were the one to come back into my life
I was the one to believe all the lies
this may not be the most beautiful way
but all things I have long needed to say.

You Broke Me.
Leaving me scarred, when the dust settled
I gathered in the pieces of myself
My one remaining standing
At best, fragmented.
A Crooked Smile.

Then you come crashing through
obliterating and consuming it all
quite like the perfect storm
making me fall
and once again
the pain makes me.

I now see
and feel
and know
enough to never look back.

To have your wildest dreams spread out in front of you
Not wanting to know, what is sure to come
Hoping for the best, giving benefit to doubt
Everything so close you can practically taste it
Then all in one night,
ripped out of sight,
instead making light
of your worst nightmares.

I wouldn't ever wish that on my worst enemy...
But I would wish that on you.
just working through my writer's clog.
