Tell me you're empty all you want
That all that's inside you is a darkened void
I won't believe a word you say
Because I've seen you laying in the dark
Half asleep as you whispered in my ear
And I've seen you in the half light of early morning
Filled with the lightness of sleep

You can't be empty because you're overflowing
With the thoughts you can't find the words to voice
And with kindness and wit
And day dreams and patience and love

You always tell me how you love balance
And your favorite colors are black and white
You think you feel too little
Well I feel way too much
We can find away to work things out
If you let me be the yin to your yang

You're the first to say that everyone has their damage
I'm broken, you're empty
And to borrow your words, there's poetry in that
Because if you look close enough
I think you'll start to find
Your broken, jagged pieces fit perfectly in mine.
Drifting through the silence
Comes a careful hum
Breaking up the fear that
True silence ever comes

Where is the tomorrow
I am still yearning for?
I cannot face the mirror
I cannot start a war

Silence still envelops
The independent one
For when fighting’s all over
Inside, it’s just begun.
Her
Her flawless skin was as pale as the moon
A glance of her intoxicating green eyes intrigued me
Perfectly arched eyebrows added to her faultless face
The two fangs in her perfect smile were riveting
Beauty shone on the inside and out
Her voice was enchanting like a flowing river
And her heart was as warm as sunshine
She showed kindness to any stranger
Never in a million years would I find another that compared to
Her
An exhausted life that began
Has birthed space, bereft of man.
We journey on, we journey far
But never as any could plan.

Let's explore further; raise the bar
And please, oh please, wish on that star.
If you ever reach up to space,
May it's memory never mar.

I long to travel to that place
To let it shine upon my face
Before I lie beneath that stone
And at long last give up this race.

For when I go to the unknown,
I can rest on that milestone.
A world so new, I lie alone,
Finally here now, on my own.
Those eyes.
It was a foggy day. I'm sure anything with color would have stood out. But when I glanced to my right and saw your face, I knew nothing in this universe could have pried our eyes apart. They were the most agonizingly arctic blue. I was left breathless and confused. Eye contact is terrifying yet beautiful. In that moment our eyes created a love that surpassed time because that .5 second gaze haunted me for the rest of the day. I know that I will only see you in that one spot as I walk down the stairs everyday, but for me, that's enough to keep me alive.

We use these technologies to pass the time

But the time we spend scrolling our fingers down an iPhone

is never fun or productive

and memories are never made


But whenever I have a spare moment in the day

I’m probably scrolling through some timeline,

looking at some random persons page,

and wasting the short and precious existence that

we are given on this earth
