Storm

I watch out the window
as the rain pours down,
watching as the droplets
roll down the glass...

I see a flash in the distance,
lightning not to far away,
followed by a loud crash,
thunder on it's way.

The storm coming closer,
as I lay down in my bed.
Thinking what it'd be like,
easier done, then said...

Of what it would be like,
to be a rain drop.
Who lives again,
and again.

Of what it'd be like,
to be a lightning flash.
To touch down to the ground,
and light up the sky.

Of what it'd be like,
to be a clap of thunder,
As small as a yawn,
or as big as a roar.

Of what it's be like,
to be a rainbow.
After the storm is gone,
to be something beautiful.

I wonder what it'd be like
to be apart of a storm,
from something harsh,
into something sweet.

But all I can do is wonder,
and listen to the skies,
for something amazing
to happen.

you think with your lungs
and breathe with your heart.

every day we begin a war.
we are the staunchest allies,
the most formidable of foes.
i fight to clear you a path.
you fight free of my shadow.

my mind is a river
with predictable course
and clear motivation.
your mind is the sun:
draped with golden flares,
burning even when unseen,
powered by something cosmic.

you say you see silver
out of the corner of your eye.
i don't tell you what i know:
you see the stars that one day
you will conquer.
i'm fortunate enough to have a supernova for a sister.

Soft touch;
warm kiss;
heart race;
total bliss....

Chills that start
from deep inside
creating the want
but fear will hide....

Impulses rage
through mixed thoughts
emotions to explore
a wildly beating heart....

One's thoughts-
wishes to never end
the tender moments
between best friends.

Hold it in

Hold it in don't say a word
Don't even try to breathe
For a smile upon the face
And sleeve
Is all  you really need

And when you turn a shade
Of blue and faces turn to stare
Ignore the little whispers;
The gossips that they share

Remember to think about the smile
You must keep upon your face
The one that shows eternal happiness
Turn anger into grace

You must never show the heart
And soul
Because you're always wrong
Think of ways to numb out life
And yet learn to sing along

It will be easier hen
To shake off all that is true
And then before you know it
There will be no more you...

Questions

I wasn't broken
So why did you try to
Fix me?
I wasn't hungry
But you kept feeding me
Lies.
I wasn't paranoid
Until you gave me
Reason to be.
Why were you never
Satisfied
With me?
I thought you were
An angel
Sent from heaven,
But it appears
You came
From the opposite
Direction

It hits in a spiritual, delirious way
the taste of blood is the only reminder
of how much I enjoy the pain

I crashed the car and I lived
I roamed the highway searching for your ghost
only to find it moved on long ago

We travelled 500 miles in this chase
for euphoria; the few signs on the way
urging us to follow separate paths

You're gone and I'm trapped
within this memory, a period of stasis
Cursing the alleged 'free road'
that brought us to this standstill.

(You never were one to take a risk,
always pausing to play it safe)

These selfish lights refuse to shift
throwing us back to different ends
of the spectrum once again

Yet I'm pulsing red, devilish hues
for you for you for you

If I could, I would crash all over again
But your lips are the only collision I need
and I was never one to wear a seat-belt

Not Good Enough

The girl inside you think is true, is not who she is, but a reflection of you.
She is not perfect, for perfect is so far out of reach.
But the girl she tries to be, is so not to hear you preach.
Trying to make you happy, while all along she’s crying for disappointing you.
She’s nothing but sad, and heartbroken for all she is, is a disappointment.
Your approval is a token, but for her it’s unspoken.
Not wanting to be left out searching all about…
For something she can do, to hear you say “I’m proud of you!”
Awaiting the day she will rise, but not coming, she’s not even close to being the prize.
