my muscles will ache with the change in the weather
just promise me we'll stay together
buried in this room
the light shining through
nothing disturbing us
just me
and you
A place to call home
People to call family
Food to vanquish hunger
I am thankful
I see you in the chair on my front porch when I'm alone and it's dark.

It all goes quiet after a while.

It's easy to lose count of how much you've smoked when the air is cold.
Whether it's puffs of cold air or puffs of cigarette smoke,
I can't tell
It doesn't matter anyway.

**I'm still thinking of you.

When I'm on the cusp of love—
Everything ceases to exist.
You make my world stop,
And fast forward into the abiss.

When I'm on the cusp of love—
I'm bursting at the seams.
Because I've finally realized,
My reality has become my dreams.

When I'm on the cusp of love—
I truly must confess;
I've already been in love with you,
You just haven't professed it yet.
Unrequited love, or mutual agreeance?
He stole something from her bed
and, it began messing with her head...
A Greek man came into her home
late at night when she was all alone
A naive girl who had wanted to learn a bit
about the culture of this ******
she regretted ever
meeting him
nearly scrubbing off
her entire skin
and, while her tears ..
like water rained on down
her sobs fell deafly to the ground...
for what seemed like hours, and hours...
while she stood weeping
in her shower.
