The first apple to fall is not necessarily the best.
He chased me all the way to lonely, now I can't go back. Doesn't matter what he says, my bags already packed.

He spewed words once of sincerity, but they've now begun to rot. Seems to have been left beside, the actions he forgot.

He held me close and intimate, deceiving me with lies. Shedding masks from his face, each revealing a different surprise.

He bought me pretty flowers, that will soon wither and decay. So I'm pulling out your petals, hoping for a sign just to stay.

He said he loved me and meant it, at least that's what I thought. Dead daisies lay around me, he loves me, he loves me not.

I want you to make me feel mysterious
I want you to make me feel fearless
Both out in the world and in your arms
I want me to make you feel powerful
I want me to make you feel vulnerable
Both out in the world and in my arms

We both know, I'm too sensitive for my own good
We both know, you're too restless for your own good
We both know, our destiny is for the greater good

I need you to hold my hand
I need you to read my words
Both in the moment and out of this world
I need me to be your rock
I need me to be your muse
Both in the moment and out of the blue

We both know, we're both linked to the hex
We both know, on every level we connect
We both know, there's intimacy greater than ***

So let's not pretend
Let's bend the rules
Let's fend for ourselves
Let's amend our commitment
Create a home-school for love
What is want,
A craving or desire?
Consuming need
That sets the soul on fire?

To want is to wish
Though it may be greed,
To wish is to want
Or to be in need,

What is desire
Whether it be hers or his?
We may not know what we want
Or what want is,

Unrequited longing
That seems to smother,
We've all had it in some form
One way or another.

oui
while you look delightful
i still feel so frightful
i'm drawing a blank,
"say something insightful!"

my toes start to curl
my fists become tense
exhaling my thoughts
i've lost all my sense
He played to the rhythm of the rain,
a glass of blood red pinot noir at his feet,
an acoustic guitar balanced on his knee –
crooning the sounds of an
aching heart.
The acoustic paused its epitaph,  
letting the patter of rain on an
aluminum roof
fill in the sounds where his friend
should have been.
He glanced at the empty wicker chair beside him
and wondered –
despite their ranging conversations
from music to Hell –  
why they never discussed what one would do
without the other.

Tired

I'm getting kind of tired
So I think I'll go to sleep
I gets pretty lonely
Counting pills instead of sheep
And if you ever need me
You needn't make a peep
For I am here beside you
When monsters start to creep

I'm getting kind of cold
So I think I'll cover up
Oh don't mind those lines
They were only cuts
And if you ever worry
You needn't bring it up
Trust me, I see them
Just keep your lips sewn shut

I'm getting kind of hungry
But I will not eat
This feeling in my head
Another challenge, one more feat
And if you start to see
That I've begun to shrink
Please do not stop me
No matter what you think

I'm getting kind of scared
So I think I'm going to hide
A few memories and trinkets
Are all you'll ever find
And if you start to miss me
Just push me out of mind
For I'm not coming home soon
Though you treated me so kind

I'm getting kind of worse
But that's only what I think
The monsters and the demons
I see them when I blink
And if you ever wonder
If you had seen me sink
Remember all my smiles
Every crack and every *****

I'm getting kind of ****** up
So I think I'll go away
You don't really want me here
I see this every day
And if you ever think
There's something left to say
Write it in a letter
And burn it all away

I'm getting kind of lonely
So I think I'll wait for you
I may wait forever
But at least you see it's true
And if you ever think of me
Or want to start anew
I'll be holding on
Among the lonely few

I Know

It's been a little over two months now
And I think I can say this
And I'm not sure what's happening so let me tell you what I know
And what I think
After 2 hours, I knew I wanted to know you
After 2 days, I knew you were different
After 2 weeks, I knew I wanted you
After 2 months, I think I love you
Let me put into perspective
why I say "think"
I know that I want you and
I know you're favorite color is red and
I know you love God more than life and
I know sometimes I don't want to live and
I know that I'm alive anyway and
I know that's partially you're fault (thank you) and
I know the Earth is round and
I know the sky changes colors and
I know you love music and
I know you love basketball and
I know you get mad sometimes and
I know you're adorable and
I know you hate being adorable and
I know that you are anyway and
I know that some things float like wood and ***** and people and
I know that things heal and
I know that time is difficult to tell sometimes and
I know forever feels too short and too long and
I know that you hate my combat boots but I'm sorry and
I know that I'm too silly and I'm sorry and
I know I'm kind of crazy and I'm sorry and
I know not all dogs love hugs and
I know I love hugging dogs and
I know that I'm short and
I know that you like that and
I know you can't trust everyone and
I know that I trust you and
I know the sky is high and
I know people are strange and
I know you hate it when I drink and
I know you're better than you think and
I know you love Beastly and I know the world is huge and
I know I'm a very small part of said world and
I know I'm not alone and
I know I feel like it sometimes and
I know you help me a lot (thank you) and
I know you're more than I deserve and
I know people can't fly and
I know I want to anyway and
I know there are some things I can never do (like fly) and
I know this feeling will come and go and
I know that you will be great one day and
I know you already are and
I know life is short and
I know nothing lasts forever and
I know I want us to anyway and
I know that death is inevitable and
I know that it will hurt and
I know that it hurts anyway and
I know that life is strange and
I know I don't make sense and
I know you're with me anyway and
I know you say you love me (**** I hope you do) and
I know I **** at love poems and
I know I always hurt and
I know I always get hurt and
I know I am terrified to say this and
I know I am even more terrified to feel it and
I know that definitely
without a doubt
I think I love you
