Day
sitting at a keyboard,
thinking
and
typing.
wondering,
as if these words,
could really ever make a difference.
but never giving up,
because some who are,
most appreciated,
were never around to see it.
i sit and wonder,
maybe being,
blind,
is better,
maybe being,
deaf,
is better,
but always feeling,
because without,
What would I write about?
fogotten for now, remembered forever.

It was not an affair of the heart, or of the emotions. It was an affair of the body, an experience, an innate response to loneliness. I do not regret it, but sometimes I tell people I did. Mostly because they do not deserve to know how extraordinary it was. And mine it was.
Serenity and tranquility,
When I look into your eyes that is what I see.
Palm trees and a gentle breeze.
That is what I feel when you pass by me.
I feel as if I’m invincible, like Superman on a concrete street.
2 years.
August 4th.
9 hour plane rides.
5 hour time difference.
4,000 miles away.
1 year and 3 days apart.
6 month countdown.
2 months of bliss.
Once a year.
5:00 am.

You're my 1.
Our story in numbers.
I was strewn out over the covers on your bed.
You were criss-cross on the carpet,
your long legs straining against the fabric of your jeans.

We caught each others glance and held it as the seconds,
then minutes went by.

You were the first to speak:
"If you ever look at me like that again,
I will ****** you.
I know what you were thinking."

I laughed,then asked you what you meant;
how did you know what was in my head?

You said-
"You were looking at me like,
what the **** did I ever see in you?
How was I ever so foolish?
I wasted all my time on him ?"

And I laughed again, slowly, then quickly.

That was never what crossed my mind.

But it's what I'm thinking now.
Take away your arms
take away your legs
could you survive?

Take away your money
take away your phone
would you cry?

Take away your family
take away your friends
would you be lonely?

Take away your food
take away your water
would you starve, would you die?

Now take away someones arms
take away their legs
could you do it?

Take away someones money
take away their phone
could you do it?

Take away someones family
take away their friends
could you do it?

Take away someones food
take away their water
could you do it?

It happens everyday
someone takes someones limbs
someone takes someones valuables
someone takes someones loved ones
someone takes someones life
If you can't do it to yourself
don't do it to someone else
