My Body Is Crumbling From The Weight Of Air,
My Legs Are Breaking From Hungry Stares,
My Soul Is Turning To Whisps Of Grey Dust,
Because I Cannot Even Bare Trying To Trust,
My Skin Is Cracking Along The Trails Of Veins,
This Time Of Year Makes Me Recollect Pain,
And Though Thoughts Of You Usually Ricochet,
There Are Malicious Games These Images Like To Play
Breathe One More Time,
I Promise It Will Be Fine,
Breathe One More Time,
Every Light Will Shine For You,
Please Take One More Breath--For Me

I was the
strongest
two years
ago, today.
(c) Brooke Otto
I was afraid when I knew
I was in love with you
I knew I would only give
My heart to the one who
Could break it

My love for you is as deep
And as true as the Ocean
Where we knew we felt
The same for one another

I will never forget sitting
On that washed up tree
Looking out over the sea
More nervous then
I had ever been
You had me then
As you always will

Falling in love with you
Has changed my life
As cheesy as it sounds
I'm happily yours
Forever

so it's
4:01am
and my mother just texted me
which is kind of funny
because i just wrote a couple choice poems
about how she royally
****** me over.
she said she can't sleep
that she was thinking about me
(funny, i was thinking about her)
how much she
loved me
she called me her
precious daughter
told me
that she was praying
for me
but mom...
god doesn't listen
to people who abandon their families
still,
it makes me wonder
how did you know
i
was
awake
just when you think there is no god he finds you and beats the **** out of you
