We're going too fast, aren't we?
Too bad you don't have a helmet.
You didn't want one, but I
Guess I lost attention after
Being glad that you made me wear one
Even after my first thought was to jump.

You said slowly, 'you're going to give me a heart attack'
And I said nothing in reply
But I backed away from the edge of the cliff slowly,
Slowly, because it was one thing you wanted
And then I wanted it too.

We aren't even going yet?
Well, ****, I couldn't tell cause the world's already 
spinning
Like it's happening
But is that reality?
Is this reality?

Is this some ****** up last minute dream after hurtling myself,
 unprepared, off a straight-down cliff, and was I just hoping...
Was I just hoping you'd come and save me?
Is that what this is?
Is it?

Cuz for a second, I was both relieved and terrified that it was real.
Both happy and scared shitless.
Better than drugs.
Better than death.
You.

But these things I'll always keep bottled up inside myself because I have
A ridiculous fear of failure, loss, death,
But I guess most of all I fear having to face the world alone again...
It's a selfish thing to say, but you make no comment, you just buckle the helmet down on my chin, pat my head, and sit in front of me.
It occurs to me there aren't any breaks.

We start moving, slow, black and blue dots against an otherwise purple and red horizon. A stain on the Canyons of the Interuniversal Fabric
But you already knew that, didn't you?
It gets faster, faster, but in a slow way. In a blue-and-black-stain-against-a-perfect-regal-horizon way, gradual, but everlasting

'You have nothing to fear from change,'
Your voice, those words, echo in my head
As we ride off into
The sunset that was immortal.
This is just something I put together on ten minutes of sleep. So don't judge.

My shadow
"Where do I start"
Never controlled
Even though a part of me
Trips,
Tricks
Ogling
Up a ****** less skirts
Direct to my cerebral cortex
I walk in to a lamp post
HD fluff is seen
Then stars
(+
   +)
(+
      +)
As my shadow laughs silently,
People not noticing I'm
Standing tall
While my shadow
Bent over,
A wet patch of laughter's tears
Where he has just been seen,
But its not always bad
The bullies used pick on me
Skinny,
Short,
Glasses,
As I could hardly see,
Punched
Kicked,
Spat,
Upon, more times than I could think,
My shadow
In silence,
Shadow boxed the other shadow you see,
Never touched by me,
But felt every hit upon his
Shadow form,
Never did I abuse
Only in self-defence
Would it aid me,
But time moved on
10 years old,
Teens,
Twenties,
Always being naughty
Was he
Laughter he made
But mischievous
Always getting us into mischief,
But He is always with me,
My silent
Friend,
Protector,
Brother,
For though he does not speak,
I know what he means
My shadow and me stuck together
Our secret that no other can see...

It's all on me...
The hurt the pain give it all to me
I'm the vessel that brings joy
Release the toxins although they might destroy..me
Pain in others is what I don't like to see
Although I hide my pain beneath
I still smile so everyone's breathe can be with ease
But in my heart I'm saying please...
Give me the cure to release these toxins
So I can be free from my conscience

Tiny wrists.
Tiny rivers of blue.
Translucent.
I'm thinking about making myself a home
Beneath your pale skin.
I'd float along your lazy blue river
Until I make my way to your ghost chest
And burrow myself a tunnel
Deep inside your heart.
Light myself a campfire,
And pitch a tent.
Looks like I'm gonna be here for a while.
I am rocked to sleep with each beat:
Onetwo. Onetwo. Onetwo.
And my heart-house dreams
Intermingle with yours.
Maybe if we dream hard enough,
We can create a world of our own.
Where red blood cells sing like angels
Housed in four chapel-chambers,
And each artery stretches up far
Like a rainforest canopy
Riddled with exotic capillary-flowers.
Can we be safe here?
The heart has tender walls
But it is a soldier.
Though it may be kicked down,
It forges on
And picks itself right back up again.
Always beating,
Always winning.
Your heart is a soldier.
A fighter.
A protector.
I think I feel safe,
For the first time in a long time,
Within the home I've made for myself
Inside of who you are.
LDR life.
