My spirit stays asleep between my sheets,
you've tucked my smile in your pocket.
I am alone in a dancing room.

I finally am with you
when  I stow away behind the bathroom door.
3 minutes and 12 seconds
You gift me my smile through the phone
a quick conversation-
I reinvent new ways to miss you
you create a new way to love me.

Please, do not hang up.
You have woken up my spirit,
it is dancing in the kitchen
surrounded by bottles and boxed wine
while I, hide in the bathroom
just to talk
to you.

I never understand what love is
until my name answered
only to your voice

I was in a dream when Silence called
And woke me from my shallow sleep,
Though it's ring raked my ears I stalled to meet my feet,
Yet through the darkness I soon crawled
To hear the quiet weep,
A tearful tale it unveiled that I dare not repeat
It echoes in the mind it galled
What thoughts it's specter reaps,
I was dreaming when Silence called
It knows I never sleep
Would like to know what you think
And critical comments are welcome

You call
Leave a message
"I'm in a fall"
Terrifying presage
"I ****** up"
Pulse quickens
"Drunk from deaths cup"
Blood thickens
"I've took to many"
Stomachs turning
"My prognosis is deadly"
Heart burning
"I love you friend"
Hands shaking
"This I did not intend"
Dialing faster
Message over
No answer

Can you, please, not call me?
Let my mind be free
I need some time alone
And a place that I can call my own
I want everyone to go away
I want some silence for at least a day

The sun may not rise, for all I care, at all
I’ll ignore every call
I’ll pretend I don’t exist
And I’ll delete every call I’ve missed
I’ll imagine that the world has died
And that I’ve finally comitted my suicide

Oh, and at the end, how good I’ll feel
Even though I know it isn’t real
I’ll just pretend that all is dream
And my eyes again can start to gleam
Just like then, for sure
When everything seemed pure

I just want to close my eyes
Until the dead ones rise
And I can join them then, at last
With everything but with my past

So I’m begging you, don’t make a blunder
Do not call me, just lose my number

"Hi"
*That voice,
that one simple word,
it sends my heart into a frenzy,
leaves me sighing of happiness,
fills me with the warmth
of a calm
inferno.
It was my after school tradition,
make myself fall for him again.
His dad was usually home by 2pm,
but we almost always go lucky.
I wouldn't trade that time
for anything.
We could go hours,
just relying on the sounds of out voices,
chatting away through the silence of our homes.
Never once have we or will we become bored of one another.
That's what we love best.
I miss those calls and that voice.

All you
need is
him.
Call to
him
when
you are
lonely.
Call to
him
when
you are
weak.
But most
importantly
call to him
when you're
strong.
Call to him
when you're
found.
Call to him
always.
Trust in
him only.
