Dec 2010
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
