Sweaty palms
Nervous laughs
That's where you find love

Looking when they aren't
Turning blushing when they look back
That's where you find love

Love should not be mistaken
Our society has condemned us
Our love it has taken

Know what they stole
Take it back
Choose to be true
That is when you'll find love
the moments before i wake
those few seconds of pure bliss
where my dreams are still vivid
and i am unaware of what is real
and what is imaginary
i am at ease in my warm blankets
then all at once it comes back to me
flooding my mind with harsh reality
that my dreams are only temporary
and i have to wake up.

i will always have to wake up.
Memorable and loving incompleteness are much better than hurtful and hatred completeness

Rise and fall
Wills your voice
Rise and fall
Fall upon my desperate ears
Coursing are my deepest fears
Pouring out through your veins
Making me tremble
And cry
Until my tears are beyond dry
Canyons bore into skin
Of unfathomable pain

Had horrible scenarios playing through my head yesterday morning...
I'm okay now, but it was rather intense.

My salty tears, they stain my skin
With sadness that has passed and been
And nothing more can make me cry
Than asking why I shouldn't die.

"These are not troubles for your kind,"
Says the angel in my mind.
"And peace will come
In due time."

The day is long and hard.
And I barely slip through it alive.
I call to my Lord but he does not answer.
And I am left wondering why.
With tears in my eyes, I write this now,
Wondering still when I can come home.
Forgive me, God, I cannot lie;
I do not trust The Great Unknown.

This is the truth:

I was garbage within garbage at the bottom of the sea.
Filth - drowned - as it is meant to be.
But He brought me up and cleaned me off.
I tasted the sun and knew: it was love.

(About my imaginative crush)
You spotted snakes with double tongue,
  Thorny hedgehogs, be not seen;
Newts and blind-worms, do no wrong;
  Come not near our fairy queen.

      Philomel, with melody,
      Sing in our sweet lullaby;
    Lulla, lulla, lullaby; lulla, lulla, lullaby!
        Never harm,
        Nor spell nor charm,
      Come our lovely lady nigh;
      So, good night, with lullaby.

Weaving spiders, come not here;
  Hence, you long-legg’d spinners, hence!
Beetles black, approach not near;
  Worm nor snail, do no offence.

      Philomel, with melody,
      Sing in our sweet lullaby;
    Lulla, lulla, lullaby; lulla, lulla, lullaby!
        Never harm,
        Nor spell nor charm,
      Come our lovely lady nigh;
      So, good night, with lullaby.
