If we are all created equal, then who needs class?
If we are all created equal, why did the projects last?
If we are all created equal, is the only difference, our paths?
If we are all created equal, then where's my other half?
If we are all created equal, then why do I even need to ask?
If we are all created equal, then why didn't it last?

She
& There she was
the subtle reflection without a mirror
quiet
kept
reserved
strong
my soul sister
with words to offer me
that once choked my esteem
silencing the bull horn full of my insecurities
you are enough
you always have been
you always will be
& the second I tried to question the truth
it spilled out and over me like rushing water
cleansing me of the layers
piled up
from years of laying underneath potential
I can breathe here
above expectations
amongst my faith
I know that life is worth living here
I know because I've felt the air thin
Like rustling paper in a silent classroom
I've been too embarrassed to be seen
too unsure to be viewed
but you
my sister
you ignited the fight in me
stretched my smile  
like turtlenecks over the heads of school age children
more protection then fashion statement
I remember now
That my words pulled the same tears
from my face
from the eyes of strangers
trying not to be seen
in crowds across the world
sitting
while I stood on stage
& stripped myself of all the ill feelings
all the dark nights
and bright moments
short lived
I will never forget why I chose love
why I can't settle for less
than
more
then
a reason to live
I don't know you
yet I'm familiar with me
I, you, we... &

Sometimes I wonder,
The times we would've been together.

I picture you and I,
On Sundays by the beach in the cold weather.

I imagine us,
Stargazing at night with me in your arms tighter.


But I waited and waited.
Every inch of every hour,
On steps to your front door,
In portraits I drew of you,
On benches we sat in parks,
At classes we used to have,
Through wretchedly rainy days,
Under my blankets late at night,
In my sleepless nights of dreams,
Right to the places you've sang to me,
Left to the days you were still with me.


But you left.
You were gone.
You were never coming back.
Because I watch you lay there,
With your hands so still,
buried underground.
To death
Next time only say "I love you "
After spitting out all the lies
Next time ensure that It's true
Instead of springing tears from my eyes
Notes (optional)
It's obvious, isn't it?
It's obvious you pleasure in my pain
It's obvious you know I still love you
You keep coming here just to let me realize I miss you
To bring those amorous lips and make me ache to kiss you
It's obvious, isn't it?
That you're after something and I'm your pawn
And thus have a reason to stick till dusk from dawn
That you're contemplating breaking up with Tom
And this is a quest of finding out if my heart's still a home
That you trace my chest line with your finger
Just to find out where my poor eyes linger
That no matter how many people I come across
In my life, my feelings for you will always be my cross
It's obvious, isn't it?
That somehow you regret and want us to make up
But you're afraid you might drop my heart and shatter it again
That you and I are two immature first lovers who'll never grow up
It's obvious, isn't it?
That you are the only and only person I adore
Even when you keep walking out and in as you wish through my door
That no matter how hard I try or what I do
I will always love you
It's that obvious, isn't it?
