Even though you are young, and I am older. You somehow control my emotions it’s funny because it took me being twice your age to obtain the courage you have, even though you are not much older than my son there is a difference in you. The warmth of your body is breathtaking and the firmness of your hands is chilling, everything about you is new to me, your logic is rational in your mind; if you love someone make them your everything, I’ve somehow not made you my everything. The part of me you ignite is a side I have hidden from even myself “I don’t know who she is” but she only surfaces when you’re around. Why can’t she be free, maybe because I’m not like you, you see I make it seem as though you are so eager because of your age, but truthfully I am ashamed to admit it is because of your courage something that at even my age I haven’t fully grasped until now. Love is not about money, ***, control, emotions, or even feelings: it’s about what you know, there were a million men on the island but I found you, I don’t believe in happenstances. I met you because I lost myself, and you helped me find her. Underneath the covers of my insecurities hiding she was. It took every part of you to make me believe in love again, I've loved with you, I've cried with you, I’ve dreamed with you, I’ve bursted with you. But, most of all I’ve been with YOU.

Others,
Push it in
I,
Keep it out

In other words...
Others, fill their heart
I,
Keep mine tightly locked

Energies from one to another
are powerful and fluid
Just like a radio
They are used in the same manner
to share feelings and news
However noble
no one ever watches how the use
such a powerful force
that another hurts another
even through another
misunderstanding the voice over the air waves
until the designated listener is destroyed in silent craves
that some sick or some angered chose to use as a weapon
to silence another energy not quite as shady or
as of what form of disease that the announcer directs
their audiences at..
After such voices, from the announced message, are silenced
There goes another misunderstood energy and voice
over your "empathic radio receiver" which was people
never took time to weigh out the true power or reason of
makes the subject dedicated to from all of the announcer's
"sources and feeling"
Die in vein from treason.

Arms spread wide
knees bent in respect of tension
attention on your insides
spiraling out in spirit
hearing your heart beat

Feel the hum of life
teem within the absence

Carve your sorrows in my skin
Writing the words I’ve already spoken
Break them down and be free
There’s no point
There is no point.
Be free.

My door had opened so wide that it broke off of it’s worn-down hinges.
I guess that’s why you stopped knocking and left.

i have so many tabs in the books i read
they are color coded and when you flip open the book
i usually have some sort of comment there
these comments range from witty to cynical to dark to brutally honest
either with myself
or a general statement about the world
no matter what it says
whether silly or serious
those comments are my secrets
the tabbed off sections of my mind that i keep for only myself
the bruises i keep concealed
the words i’m too afraid to speak out loud
secrets between myself
my book
and my future self
who will one day read those tabs
those comments
and think back to the reasons they were left
think about all the obstacles i had overcome
and all words i had once related to
my truest self lies within
the margins of books
highlighted quotes
and color coordinated tabs
that no one knows the meaning of
i am terrified of someone reading those sections
someone picking up any one of my books
and knowing how i really feel on the inside
it would be as if someone had stripped me of my clothes
and left me for judgement
one day
i’ll be able to let someone open my books
to let them observe my truest self
and i hope that person is willing
to show me
their tabs too
