I think in a small way, I always knew it was you
you've always taken care of me quietly
told me difficult truths
surprised me with my favorite drink
(you memorized my order)
because you knew I was sad before I even
told you
you make me want to be a better person
I am a better person because of you
I like myself better with you
you even took me & my little sister to ice cream just because

Wasting time
is like crime.
Best to do
something new
and you will
time fulfill.
Better than
nothing can.

He yearned for greener pastures
At no expense to his lifestyle
So he searched for something better
Hoping to find someone
To change his life

She gave up on life a million years ago
And now she exists but does not live
She’s angry at the world
But her misfortunes,
Were all fruits of her own accord

Fate brought them in a serendipitous way
And love at first sight
Was no longer a dilema for the blind
Infatuation is a strong feeling
But this feeling can be deceiving
For the heart can freeze
After the flame is gone

But what is life if you never take a chance
They never knew how to love one another
But at least they got a taste
Of what it feels like to be wanted
on the wall
hung a clock
melting in the day's ire
running toward the ground,
it ran fast sometimes
and occasionally
mind numbingly sluggish

in the washbasin
the rags i wore
soaked in a soapy stillwater
waiting for the wash
that these tired hands
must do

these blemished hands
how they hurt
strained from work
like the oil stains
on his shirt
they are worn
they are torn
and are without comforting
though his resolve is strong
his will is weak
from the havoc wreaked
from a life of low pay
struggling to live
week to week
knowing you deserve better

Roses red
Night sky black
Love the feeling of fingernails
Etching lines up and down my back
Outside air is vicious and cold
It's warm beneath my bedsheets
Come defrost against my skin
As senses eagerly meet
Time not exists in this place
Surroundings slowly fade out
The stress weighing down my body
A burden I don't think about
Inhaling electricity
Exhaling loneliness
Grateful for present moment
Escape from daily mess
Relief may be temporary
I will appreciate it just the same
Honestly any emotion
Better than the usual pain
Pain without love is much worse than pain with love

I want a room
with a piano;
maybe even
a chair

and we'll sit and we'll play,
we'll sit and we'll sing,
and we'll sit and we'll smile
'till everything feels
just a little,
a little,
a little bit better

And when we go to bed,
we'll close the top and think
maybe tomorrow,
maybe tomorrow
we can smile again
Dear love,

My kindred spirit
My better half
My better self
If words could say it all
I would write a book
Or confess my deep love for you in every song
For you are the calm after the storm
My unicorn for you are definitely a blessing to me
How can i have peace when you are suffering
It'll be like breaking a vow of sharing
Sharing the joy and the pain
Making your demons mine too
Knowing your scars are beautiful to me
I wish I could kiss away the pain
Let this kiss be the start of the healing
As I touch the body and let it dance to the music in my hands
Taking away the pain
And leaving you with the smile I crave
And forever cherish
If Saturday has been a sad song,
I'm gonna change the chorus
Such that Sunday finds you with the sexiest curve
The shape of your smile
I hope this voice lights up all the impulses to make your body better
That me talking is like me touching you
Don't forget I'm here with you
No Greek Wall will stand in between us
No one can shatter our beautiful dream
We are the creators and masters of our own paradise
Distance has made it hard for me to take care of you while you are sick but I hope these words buy me some time
Quick recovery loved one

Today is a good day.
It’s better than the rest.
I don’t have all the stress
Hanging over me
Like I did yesterday.

I feel good today.
I feel better than the rest.
I don’t have depression
Lingering around me
Like I did yesterday.

I have had a good day.
Everything about this day
Has been better than all the rest.
Again, I don’t have all the stress,
I don’t feel as depressed
Like I did yesterday.

Today I finally feel okay.
