Rebirth

I died

I was cold, lifeless, lost somewhere in the darkness

My whole body ached

The ground began to get thinner

I began to hear mumbles

I was ripped from my tomb by an invisible force

I was reborn

Into the water he took me

And out he lifted an infant

No one's going to love you more than I do

He whispered

I spin around the room

Looking at all these images

They look so familiar

But they make my heart hurt

So I put them in a box

And I kissed them goodnight

Can I tell you a secret?

Come close

Sometimes I pull them out

And I lay them next to me on the bed

We stay up all night

Laughing

Kissing

Touching

Crying

But it's getting late and it's time for sleep now

As he collects his things and bids me farewell for now

I blow him a kiss

I send him my love from where I lay

Have you ever wanted to just get up and leave--you have no responsibilities, but I can't bring myself to pack up and leave

My new feet ache for something more

I know where I'm going

What I want

I am just waiting for my feet to touch the floor

I need to plunge into this darkness

Into the unknown

You wont look at me

I want so badly for you to look at me

I've forgotten to color of your eyes

I breathe in the smoke

I let it cleanse my spirit

I want nothing more than to feel your skin beneath my hands again

Before you disappear

I need something more

Something tangible

I day dream too much

"between every breath lasts a lifetime in a dream"

I hope you know that I love you

And I'm okay

I'm just learning to crawl

Forgive yourself

I'll take pictures of everything you miss
