Run
The feelings inside,
there's no where to hide.
I can't keep running,
from you.
I'm falling.
The pain, you can't see,
I cannot save me.
Truth is, I need you,
but I will deny it.
I'm falling.

My heart's freezing, cold,
and I'm growing old.
I need to feel love,
I can't get enough.
I'm falling.
Where did you run to?
Can I run with you?
I am the one who,
was supposed to run,
not you...

I've fallen.

two competing humming birds;

her suitable suitor.

Justice is a *****
With claws
Miles and miles and miles
Guillotine jaws
And when she throws the book at you
It's 1000 pounds
With a curse in every clause.

And when those swords
Turn in on you
It's miles and miles of claws
To wring you out
In a razorblade chokehold you won't ever

forget.

I know love exists
I've seen its rotting remains.
In your laughing eyes.

Lover, I only want your love now
And now
And now
And now
And now
And now
And now
And now

I’m pretty easy to love without my makeup on
I’m pretty easy to talk to without a song
I’m pretty easy to approach without any drama
I’m pretty easy to ask if I want to belong

It’s pretty easy to want to be my friend
It’s pretty easy to comprehend
It’s pretty easy to do without the trauma
It’s pretty easy to the bitter end

It’s pretty easy to walk in the light
I’m pretty easy to talk to in the night
It’s pretty easy to make it all so hard
It’s not so easy to make it right

It’s pretty easy to make you go away
To hide away from the pain
It’s not so pretty to stay so sane
It’s pretty easy to take flight
It’s pretty easy for you to see me again
at my burial site

It’s pretty easy to make me go away
It’s not so easy to stay
my son was devastated to hear that a young girl killed herself because she was being bullied by a boy who liked her! He asked me for a poem to reflect her life and here it is... for her, for him...
