These tears I cry aren’t meant for you
They are for the girl I long to return to
The girl with dreams that carried her away
To ideas of travel and love and to change the world,
but something led me astray
My heart demands that I return to that little girl ,who I held so close.
My heart screams and tugs, unable to ignore, who I was once before.
I’m taking my power back, the power of a girl.
I take her hand and make sure to never leave her behind.
I wrote this as my soul somehow needed to share to the world what I feel other women feel at times too

It shook me from my skin
It sent shivers down my bones
It caused my head to spin
Because I thought that I had been alone

But as I laughed at my fear as folly
It stared at me is dismay
For to it right now, I was far too jolly
And it wasn’t sure if I was okay

I told it my mind was fine
Yet it still looked concerned
So I told it that I’m crazy like this all the time
And that sanity I’d never learned

It then shook in its skin
And had shivers down its bones
But at me it grinned
Because it had thought that it would always be alone

And it stayed with me
And we were dark and crazy together
And that’s how we’d like to be
From now until forever
I fathomed this poem around midnight.

Sometimes our lives are made up of the same stories with the same beginnings and the same endings and things happen the same way almost every time.

I feel

I feel, we are alike      
A bit different,      
A bit reserved,      
A bit silent,      
A bit lost,      
We are,      
alike.      
      
I pray you,      
Will you feel comfortable,
If we share the same dream?      
      
Be,  
my inspiration,      
my strength,    
Forever,      
As you are.    
    
In one way, or    
Another,    
We are the same.
Theme: Then, nothing matters.

you were always the type to say what you meant
but in this poetic fashion
as if words were the air you breathed
your sentences flowed together and stitched a lovely song
your voice was heavenly, my love
you were the most angelic thing I have ever laid eyes on
from your hair to your eyes to your skin
my love, how do you achieve such value?
how are you worth more than gold, to me?
I do not understand these things
for you were always the type to think and keep thinking
never did I catch you not thinking
you would look out the window longingly
I would ask what you saw outside
you would always reply with,
"I was thinking about what it would be like if I was a bird"
my love, you have such a busy mind

and busy minds think alike
as if these shared thoughts could build a new world
a world away from worlds
somewhere far away; a sanctuary for your mind
a beautiful mind it is, my love

yet you were always the type to get distracted
I supposed this is why he stole you away
you were always the one for adventure
my love, where have you gone?
he isn't the type to understand you like I do
but I suppose you know what you are doing
you always have
you always think
with your busy mind, you see all
but please come back to me one day
I wish to see your eyes one more time
I wish for you to tell me, one last time,
"my darling, I do believe I love you too"

So...you came out of nowhere.
But you make my heart beat right out of my chest.
And I know I just showed up too.
Playing hide and seek in the dark and light of your mind.
And I know I get that too.
I know you get all nervous when we get close.
I can tell that we obviously aren't just good friends.
We rush into each other so quickly.
Grasping to every difference in the other and also the similarities.
You're like the puzzle piece I'm missing.
I would check every place in all the rooms of the house to find you again if I lost you for one second.
It's like each piece interlocks.
Snapping together mentally and physically.
We're two different colors blended together on the same canvas, creating one beautiful shade.
I know you look at me from the corner of your eye.
I know you care about what I say a bit more than the others.
I never knew I held light but,
You tell me despite the fact that I can't see your dark
I cast light on it.
I feel it.
I know you feel how I can go from a total wreck to a tiny little plant.
Taking in every ounce of sunshine you provide.
I know I level you down to earth and
Somehow
Though we've started at two different places
With somehow alike and different views
we've came back to where we started.
Together this time.
A little more happier than we used to be.
And probably a little more dumb.
I love you.
