Let me be the breath from your lungs
So I can take your breath away

Let me be the antagonist in your fable
So I can show you pain

Let me be the hand that caresses your hair
So I can show you love

Let me be the embers in your smouldering flames
So I can keep you warm

You are the whiskey in my glass, the cigarette in my mouth;
The winter blues in my heart
And the hurt in my soul.

Let me be...

A cold cup of coffee on a sunday afternoon,
all I crave is a little bit of heaven.
I can feel the whiskey in my soul,
still reeling from the night before.
I fear that if I lose my balance,
my will may not have the strength to get up once more.

Staring out the window, waiting for another day to pass me by, couldn't help by sigh with relief as I caught a glimpse of the sunset on the west.
Knowing it was about to be nightfall, I knew it was another night to lie awake and ponder of what has, and has yet to come. Or just simply be
I can hear the birds chirping though I haven't had a minutes rest. Nevertheless, I get up to make my coffee to watch the sun rise breathing in the light aroma of the dark roasted brew.
Gathering my thoughts on what's to come, I realize how beautiful the morning dew looks on the grass. Gleaming as if they were the stars on a clear night.
I started to feel a change in the air as if the boulder on my shoulder was suddenly lifted. The world didn't seem so bleak and miserable.
Hail to thee, my soul felt rejuvenated as I realize how lost I was in my own conciousness. Drowning in self pity, my mindset was the key to my heart shaped box. The hole in my chest was filled

That was the day my heart came home,
Until the next journey...

It came as a wave
I was doing the back stroke
felt the clear water beneath me
it was calm at first
safe even
I didn't think about how deep it was
I didn't think about how dark it could get
I thought about how clear the water was
how warm the surface was
the moon and the sun fought to be my light
my legs went under
then my waist
then my arms
my body started to tingle
I only glanced
the depth was luring
I felt myself slip into the paralyzingly cold water
I couldn't feel the sun anymore
the moon laughed
the water wasn't calm anymore
it was time
my head went under
I had oxygen but it only lasted so long
my head felt light & I wasn't in control anymore
I seen creatures you'd never see at the surface
I drifted & didn't dare gasp
The jellyfish danced around me as I watched everything go black  
They just danced

Enjoy the little things in life.
The smell of a rose, the petrichor of the earth after a rainfall.
The sunset & sunrise, it seems everyone forgets this life is but a breeze in the grass.
Of times to come & times to pass.

Beautiful isn't it? How fragile life can be.
I can be gone in an instant, the clock will tick.. tick on
Don't be discouraged by all that life brings.
Like the bad, there will always be good.
Just as it should.

I can't seem to sleep
Seep into a dreamless deep
Beyond the mind, oh so sweet.
Melancholy 

Remind me what it's like.
Diamonds cracked like puzzle pieces
In spite.
The aching feet, clammy hands in the fear of heights.
Jumping into the arms of folly

In all honesty my minds scrambled.
I let it run in no particular direction
Beautiful bittersweet imperfection. 
Just poetical footnotes to add to my collection.

Lust, attraction.. attachment.
I'm at the mercy of biochemistry.
Cupid with his arrow, shot my soul.
In a ridiculous fashion.

It makes no sense.. is it supposed to?
Flushes cheeks, my hearts racing.. hands are clammy.
Never met a soul I was close to.

The dopamine, could be the nicotine.
I'm blinded.. such a beautiful face
The adrenalin & serotonin coursing through my veins.
I find I'm tempted, temporarily insane.

Cupids star struck victim.
Vasopressin & oxytocin in my nervous system.
Tell me are these the drugs for long term commitment?

I just had to laugh.. in my experience, good things never last.
Like the ocean, my love for you was vast.
I guess cupid missed his shot
The time has come, your love went past.

Like*******, I'm sure there's a better way.
It was all just chemicals anyway..
