my mind is a board game
my feelings are like the dice ready to be tossed
and in the end, i feel though i have lost

Gone.
I have lost my mind.
It left in the night.
Gone is my mind and gone is my light.

i lay
in bed
in the dark;

the rain,
the creaky,
dull set tones

my heart
is whole
again

my breath
is calm

i let the thoughts
come and go

knowing, your time
passed and my time

is now

"I'm afraid to lose you"

                                     But isn't that what love is?

Isn't love standing on the edge of a canyon, overlooking the beauty that is below?

Running the length of a battlefield, amidst the bullets whirling, and the cannon fire, knowing you could at any moment lose everything?

Isn't love ultimately driving the edge of loss to the edge?
Playing with fire? Juggling knives? Self operated open heart surgery?


                            Isn't that what makes love so special?

I'm letting go
Because a whisper isn't loud enough for me
And I hope you know
Your words were too sweet for me
With your tongue like cotton candy, dissolving in the tear drops dripping down my cheeks
And I wish you were here when I fell asleep but you would be the death of me
Cause our love is destroying every part of me I once knew
Because the second you walk in the room, every part of me becomes a part of you
And I can't stand to be made into someone I don't know
So let me go

Have mercy Aphrodite, have mercy on my hopeless romantic soul
Console me Aphrodite with your voice of liquid gold
And hold me, hold me, hold me down
Because the more I fight, the less I'll beg to turn back

Your smiles are soft as cashmere and your eyes can bring me home but I know
You aren't truly there
And I know you wish to turn me into the same shell of a person you have become
So hold me tight, Aphrodite
Please don't let go, Aphrodite
Cause every part of me is a part of you
And after everything I went through for you
I wish I still needed you
And after all things you've said to me, lied to me and bared your teeth
I don't miss you, I'm sorry I can't miss you

So Aphrodite I pray for thee, may you be spared from my Catholic family
You can be a curse and a blessing, both you've shown me
But your love is a lesson that I can't bear to teach
So leave me Aphrodite, some things can simply never be

When I think of love, I can't see you anymore. My mind takes me back to 2 years ago when I never needed more than to see the curve of your lips because I breathed the air I now swore to never long for again. My sanity still slipping like I always do in love, I tiptoe for nights over the puddles I've cried for you, invisible to the world but they're all I see. I've been trying to forget you.

Hope is a bubble (no feathers)
It comes from deep within

It sits, it rises, it waits, it grows
It stretches very thin.

It ignites and it kindles,
It blushes like embers
Constantly notices
Always remembers

Hope is a bubble (no feathers)
It doesn't sing the song

With or without the words or the tune
Hope is never wrong.

It waits and it wonders,
It tosses and turns
Never goes out
Eternally burns.

Hope is a bubble (no feathers)
And even if misplaced

It always awakes and runs back to your side
Whatever the battle faced.

Hope is a bubble (no feathers)


Hope is always there.

Somebody looks out for you.

Yes, out there,


Some
Body
Cares
