It was the thought i had that set me on fire that day. It was only three years ago when I realized I was stuck in a limbo, constantly living the same results time and time again. A bird would sit beside me No, a cat And would peer into my soul with the wicked eyes of blue. "I see what you're thinking" It would seem to say, and I would cower in my mind descending into darkness, time becoming absent chaos becoming the realm i reside in channeling every demon and every sin i ever committed why why why I would drone balled up fury begging to go back home and in that darkness came clarity this is not what's meant to be _im ok i'm ok i'm ok. I'm ok._ It became my mantra singing the sour revival of my brittle broken soul ascending back into reality and with that came the question *If this were where I were to end, i would be stopping a great story from finishing* And i came back to life. Just like that A rollercoaster never-ending From life To death Like a merry-go-round I see it coming It sees me leaving Forever being chased around until the endless darkness swallows me whole and that...that scares me

Limbo
Israel foreshadowed in Egypt Untouched by the Plaques Passed over by the Destroyer Egypt broken and bowed With strangers, Israel walked free Handsomely ransomed, a nation is born So shall Israel again be in the Tribulation As light for sight and salt to taste And again with strangers In haste and with bitterness Come out of the World Raptured as the First born of God

Israel in Egypt
I remember saying "You're going to have to be careful" and her head would tilt just enough for me to see the confused scrunch in her eyebrows. A grin formed half consciously on my face, "you're going to have to be careful, most people can't do this without falling for me." The confused scrunch in her eyebrows burnt into a faint flicker of annoyance and fell down her face into her eyes but she managed to answer with a laugh in her voice as she pulled back the sheets and stepped into the hallway, "Whatever you say. We'll see". Looking back I'm not sure if I was warning her or myself, but I do know that wouldn't be the last time my insecure arrogance would cause me to watch her walk away

Careful
smooth sounds pouring out the walls bouncing from ceiling to floor and back again waiting for a call from a certain friend never thought today would be the end of this whole ordeal although i don't think it is i tried to steal but she never missed never cried over myself always there for me never needed my help and the sounds worked their way back to my ears pounding, drumming, not quite clear and i accepted what had become of this day and anticipated the next with no delay

coffee shop music can provide foreshadowing for unexpected negative events
A little less Than a year ago I picture you: Your leg wrapped Around my torso And propped up By my hand; I have a purse, a drink, and you adorning my body Hanging onto me I am small You are smaller A cigarette Dangles From your Left fingertips Coffee and Champagne On your lips We both wear crowns Atop Our seemingly Stubborn smiles Happiness Will not Relent I have known You For so long Now Almost half Our little lives Tonight, I am proud Of you It is New Years You haven’t drank Too much You know This year Will be a good one Enough To tell me so Enough For me To believe In you Again Already Making changes, Setting promises Nothing is the same Since you Came home Two Augusts Ago Tonight, Had never before Fulfilled Its cliché promises But as of tomorrow We have our chalkboard Of rainbow colored erase marks At midnight, We get to Start Anew

New Years
To the boy with the blue-green shoes, Because that is how I know you For I can’t look in your eyes. Thank god you always wear that pair. To the boy with the curly hair Because I don’t know your name I am much too shy to ask And afraid you will not want mine. To the boy with the smile so sad, Because I wish that you could know That I will miss you when I Let you leave, but can’t let you go

To The Boy With The Blue-Green Shoes
He looked fine. Fine with a y. Fyyyyne However another guy had the best style, he could mismatch and make it fit. Then again no man had abs like him, it was a canvas I longed to.... I will never forget the other guys eyes, his hazel eyes spoke to me. How couldn't I mention the manly stance, broad shoulders, large hands man. But honestly, I never saw beauty till I met blank. Blank is kind, the kind that gives and expects nothing, for he simply wants to see joy in me. Blank is confident in himself, in a way that needs to prove nothing because he humble by nature Blank is rational yet irrational in a way that strives and hopes. Blank is funny, uplifting, **** Blank teaches me about myself, he makes me better. I've never seen one as beautiful internally, which it illuminates externally. Hopefully I meet blank. _______, I love you.
