A Watoot Mar 2015
A statue of beauty
Slowly being unveiled
By the artist so proud of his work.
Only to see that
Its clay arms melted
Along with his dreams.
Too bad people cannot see beauty in imperfection.

I think I would give up the world right now to be able to sketch.
These images appear in my head day and night
making me want to spend hours on end drawing.
Drawing vivid illustrations
The ones that constantly replay in my head.

I want to be able to see some sort
of physical image of me and you.
one that makes the heart melt
one that is lost for words
One that shows
what I see
what I feel

I wish I could explain it.
I can't even put it into words.
these words don't exist!
But I know every single line
of every sketch.

The smallest flakes of hope
That shine like little stars
Are floating from the heavens.
As they land on my pale skin
They begin to melt away
Back into their liquid form.
I am so cold, but so are they.
How can they melt on me?
It's odd how such fragile crystals
Can create such a deadly storm.
He's asleep and I feel like ****.
I can't seem to cry but I want to throw a fit.
I work in the morning and I hate my job.
All I want to do is lay in bed and sob.
I don't know if my parents' plane ever landed,
And sometimes I still feel like I've been abandoned.
I call myself an artist but I don't think that's true.
I don't really put work into anything I do.
I'm afraid I might be an imposter just following a fad.
I don't know anything about anything and I know that's bad.
Mine, please don't steal it <3

If someone asked me to describe

What it was like to hear

My name escape

From the sweet, sweet lips
That I've always dreamt about

I would tell them

That it was as if

You wrapped explosives

Tight around my heart

And with every whispered word

Every delicate touch

Every loving kiss

A very small piece 

Would blissfully burst 

And heat my entire body

Until I was so warm with love

That I truly believed I was melting
I melt for you.

Your words embody me and melt in such a way I lose all train of thought.

I breathe you in deeply as though you will only last a moment.

Take me, melt me, mold me to the very curve of you.

my hand could pass
through the table
if I pressed hard enough
my feet
through the floor
I just want to melt
until I disappear
Untitled Jan 2015
Walking outside in the winter
A snowflake falls from the sky
And lands in my palm
It slowly melts as snowflakes do
And I start thinking
Each snowflake is spectacular
And different in its own way
But their lives are so short
Maybe humans and snowflakes
Aren't so different after all
Humans are like snowflakes
Ice
Slowly,
Once shining spears of nature's glass,
Cry themselves away.
The shards that decorated the freezing arms of aging oaks,
Lose their will to live.
Hopelessly,
Striving for stillness, seeking life,
But doomed to become,
Tears of trees that fall in slow motion in winter's chill,
When the sun's warmth fails.
Finally,
Their journey ends with a triumph,
Not their own but still,
Celebrated by chaos, as order collapses,
With each falling drip.
Drip.
...
Drip.
...
Drip.
