I flit
And
Flicker
Too close to the flame
I want to burn
Alluring
Burning
I want
To burn
Heat and
Hot
Searing
And pain
Yellow-orange
Red and blue
Black and blue
Pain
Pain, I know
Pain is good
I want
And want...

Steffanie
He was a beautiful person.
The room lit up when he entered it.
He was a beautiful person.
My world got darker when he left it.
Snow Flakes Drift Gently,
My Mind Is Bitterly Cold,
And Darkness Creeps In

In Peaceful Silence,
I Am Shivering No More,
For My Bed Is Warm

I Am Safe For Now,
From All The Thoughts Of Daytime,
To Sleep I Succumb
Yes,  I am fat and these are my addictions-
You feed me too much of your love at all seasons
Your wisdom makes my mind bulging with lessons
I am too fat now, you know the reasons
Body and soul
Tonight I am not in the mood to sing
I lost the interest for now
Where are the words I need
Where are the tunes I love
They were gone
And if ever they echo back
Somewhere at the window of my soul
I may no longer hear them
As the melody I used to sing

So tonight there will be no song to sing
I will just lay down to rest
And hear your voice
The records I keep for years
They are the ones that never fade
Here in my heart.
Not in the mood tonight...
You are not weak;
You just have to find out your strengths
When you feel the failure all the time,
Just do your best and surrender the rest to God
Always think positive and try to see the best in you

You are not ugly;
You just need to smile to enhance the beauty in you
Always do the good things for you but consider the welfare of others
For beauty is not just skin-deep but coming from the heart

You are loved;
Yes, don't say nobody loves you
That child who smiles when he sees you,
Jesus whom you cannot see, but always loves you
And I, the only one who will not stop loving you

I love you!
This is me, yourself.
Loving oneself is not selfishness. It is the greatest love of all.

her
Like air,
I am not a concept you can wrap
Your hands around.
Just breathe me in.
Know that I'm here.
Be content with that.
I cannot sleep tonight
So I watch the stars so bright
Until morning,  I think of him
And of the how's to strengthen the seams

I cannot sleep,  my mind is full
Of many thoughts in push and pull
What is here in this crazy brain
Why love and hope are words that remain?

I cannot sleep,  I think of him
Still see his face though lights are dim...
Cannot sleep again
