#gingerbread
I don't know who you are, Where you are, What you're doing; All I know is that I don't know a thing about you Yet the thought of you Destroys me Every single day; Tearing at my ribcage, my Lungs, poking holes in My skin even though There'd be nothing to see on The inside except the Dust and the way you've Ruined me. I paint over the walls Even as the house crumbles As others attack, cornering Others with passion or Burning plaster with Laser-hot gazes, Watchin from afar. They say love's a fire But even in its absence My head burns Like I've been shoved Into the witch's oven Without getting to appreciate The gingerbread house. Everyone else's breath Smells of sugar and spice And all things nice Teeth rotting from the sweet Nothings they tell me about Their beloveds. The time will tell adage Repeats itself to me Over and over. Sophia Vergara Said that love's right Around the corner But I've been walking Straight for far too long.

Might I Say I Miss You?
_You ask of which I am most afeart, the rumbling tumblings of the troll beneath the bridge or the tinkering favours of an eccentric fairy godmother. Alas, it is the marzipan crumbs of inspiration leading me down the brambled garden path which most unsettle me; the ink that does not write; the unpainted page with not a gingerbread house...in sight._

Once Upon A Story
i want a love so old-school that it makes me cringe the kind of love that everyone is jealous of because of how good we fit a love full of love letters music mixes and silly dates a love that smells like the foggy autumn mornings crowded coffee shops and gingerbread in the cold city i want a love so pure and true full of joy

the kind of love I want
she tastes like cinnamon gum i want to inhale her smell honey, you are sweeter than before she smells like cherry pie her sharp breath against my red lipstick her green eyes like gumdrops on a hot summer day she is my gingerbread fantasy warm to my touch (b.d.s.)

gingerbread houses
Evil old witch, Evil old witch, I see you bad ugly evil old witch. You tried to shove me in that evil old oven of yours but I was much to quick, you fat ugly evil old witch. You tried to feed me frosting and treats but I spat them all back out at you, toot sweet. I hate you, I hate you! I scream at that evil old witch, I hope your house goes stale soon, you fat evil ugly old witch! I hope you get entombed within that ugly old house of treats. Your a evil old witch, Your a evil old witch, I hope the forest trees fall on top of you and your crumy gingerbread house too. I'll be back, I'll be back, Then we will see who pushes who! You fat ugly evil old witch I really hate you!

The One That Got Away
The town of Bakewell is under siege, gingerbread men are running free. The bakers scream. Oh please, oh please save us our brave king, but the brave king is at a loss, for no one in the court has a thought. When in the back of the court a small voice did say, I will save the town my way. My boy, my boy what will you do. I will eat my way through, I love gingerbread and so do you. The gingerbread men screamed and yelled, oh please, oh please don't eat us our brave king. But it was too late, the  boy and king had gobbled their fill! Oh my brave boy you have saved Bakewell!

Town of Bakewell
I envy him a lot Just look at his eyes Burning with so much passion Then look at mine Just some black beady eyes Just look at his smile Filled with determination Then look at mine Just a crooked half assed smile Just look at how he moves It flows with so much eagerness Then look at mine Just a lazy *** that tries hard I envy him a lot How can he be like that? Why can't I be like that? Just look at him as a person And you'll feel a different sensation Then look at me and you'll see Just a half baked gingerbread man.
