Oh.
Hello there.
I didn't hear you come in.

You snuck up on me
And stole my breath away,
Didn't you?
It's okay, I'm not angry,
Just amazed that I'm still breathing.

What is this?
Your name makes my heart skip a beat
And my breath catch in my throat.
It's the most delightful feeling.

I could just drown in you.

I've been happy lately
so most mornings
I wake up and it's all
sunshine and ******* rainbows.
But then a day like today
creeps in
for no apparent reason.
I awaken from restless,
terror-filled sleep,
melancholy and questioning
the worth of it all.
The penultimate question:
what's the point?
And I'm haunted
by my past escapes,
but I can't backslide.
I've come too **** far,
and that's the problem.
It would be too easy,
far too easy,
for me to get back
into those patterns.
But ****,
do they pound my head,
taunting me
in this moment of weakness.
And days like this
I question, second-guess,
criticize every ******* thing,
no matter how small,
seemingly insignificant.
I have somehow
transformed,
become worthless
in just a night's time.
And I know,
I know it's not fair
to everyone else
around me
because they get caught
in the crossfire
of my mind.
Poor things,
they hadn't a clue
this was coming.
****,
neither did I.

I crave the broken contact lenses; the accidental hip bone to granite corner counter top collisions.
I breathe ****** hang nails, and surprise scalding water.
I drink up the catches in my side, and deep paper cuts.
The splinters in my heels and soap in my eyes are kin to milk and honey to the weak and weary.
I live for the arm hair caught in my bracelet, and blinding headaches that plague me nightly-
Because for a single second in the inexplicable, unexpected pain of that beautiful fleeting moment,
I forget-- for one unadulterated second- the crushing weight of your weightlessness; your absence.

Saw this girl I said "**** what you doing down here?",
She said "Uh excuse me? Could you be more clear?",
I said "Did jesus come back and bring you along?",
"Because girl when I saw you all my composure was gone!",
Lost for words so I spoke with my heart,
I said "God must of used his paint brush on you to define masterful art",
She giggled a little with the cutest shinning grin,
So I marvelled at her beauty took a pause and then,
I took a leap of faith and asked "Coffe sometime?",
She replied "That would be lovely so I told her "The pleasure was mine!",
She kissed me on the cheek just to seal the deal,
My knees got weak I wondered "Is this forreal?",
Last thing I remember is her gorgeous green eyes,
Wrote my number down quick but to my surprise,
She slipped hers in my pocket,
I was on top of the world flying in a rocket,
I wore that smile the rest of the day from ear to ear,
But she never answered my question what was she doing down here?

a feeling
a beating heart

what more could be said about it

so sudden
so simply sweet

and that’s where we left it

with words
with glances

that could not foretell

the beauty
the sweet surprise

and together

we fell

5:45 am.
promise me, you won't do anything stupid.
okay mom, i get it.
no smoking,
no drinking.
i have to get going. NOW.

8:00 am.
look what we got for us!, she says.
as we climb onto the bus
J.D and a pack of cigs.
nothing to hesitate about,
we're no longer kids!

11:00 am.
puff
i taste the filter- with care.
puff
heavy lumps on my throat as i fight to find some air.
puff
my tiny lungs bloat, still fighting for air.
puff
i resist.
imagining how much mom would be ******.

4:00 pm.
i'm almost on my fourth.
puff.
i let go.
puff.
let it get to me, slowly.
puff.
let it do its magic.
puff.
and let it **** me inside, slowly.

my first ever smoke.
been there. done that. not doing it again, hopefully.

Unzip your eyes,
A surprise waits,
Blue skies today.
