and as she saw his face amongst all the others
she wondered of she would ever see him again
her curiosity got the best of her
and she followed him down the road
through the other hundred faces
and she started running
faster
faster
and when the path cleared
his face was gone
just like it had been for years
found this in a journal and it was initially part of a short story i never wrote, but i decided to share.

i can't help but feel like i am partially to blame
for everything that happened to you
i left when you needed me
and now when i see you and you smile at me
i know it is out of shame and pity
and you try to say hello
but i hear the shaking in your voice
and i saw the signs
and i saw the markings that lead you to where you are now
and i think about what i could have done to change this
but remember you didn't want to be changed
but i tried to hard

and i heard you crying for help
but why didn't you accept it?
was it attention that you wanted
did you get what you needed?

and i heard you screaming and swearing at me
dont look at me like that
how could you
and i know you were mad because i intervened
but i couldn't let you waste away

although look now
where have you gone?
where will you go from here?

i passed you yesterday
and we looked at one another
and then we looked away
not saying a word
not even a smile
or a wave

The windows are clear, but filled with memories of long rainy days, tear stained sheets, and soft blankets.

As I watch from the other side of the glass, I wonder if you are looking too. The sky is soulless and dark, but maybe somewhere, you are wishing on a star for those stains to go away as the moments replay over and over.

We have faded from one another, and time still went on. The words "I can't live without you" turned out to be a simple cliché that diminished from the tip of my tongue and slipped through your lips.

And as I look out this clear window, holding the sheets that once held us, I look back to those nights where I felt alone with you beside me.

And maybe some day, we can clean the sheets together. We can look out this window and watch the night turn into the morning again. As for now, wherever you may be, know I wish you happiness and hope you think of me.
This is a poem I wrote a while ago, but I decided to re post it.

She was alone.
A face in the crowd that not one person noticed.
She had no one, not even herself.
When she looked in the mirror, she had to turn away in shame.
how could anyone love me? she thought.
She hid her scars, her fears, and herself from everyone.
One night, she looked to the stars in search of an answer that never seemed to come.
She decided to give up on everything. Her hope, her dreams, herself...
And she let go.

Dear you,
It is only the first few nights
But I am already so alone.
I know it will be a while before we meet again,
But I don't know how I am going to go on with you gone.
I miss you every minute and think about where you may be.
I am wishing you the best.
Please do not forget me, for you mean too much for me to lose you.
Please come back soon.
But Dear you,
I know you are happy, miles away from me, but please just don't forget about our times together.
I hope you think of me often, as I think of you.
And finally, Dear you,
On your journey, as I hope you don't forget me,
I also hope you remember who you are.
Love me.

I wonder how you feel.
You, a stranger walked into my life.
Unexpectedly making me smile.
Maybe I think this is something it's not.
I wish you would take a chance on me.
That way you will know...
You will know all about me and what makes me laugh.
You will know about the heartbreaks I once faced.
You will know about the losses I have had.
I want you to know who I am.
Not who I appear to be.
Take a chance...
On me.
