Sitting on an inexpensive chair
Slouching, as I write
Listlessly, drifting
Through another anxious night

Detailing my discomfort
To catalogue my pain
There's a map here, somewhere,
Waterlogged from the rain

It'll tell you where not to go
And what to avoid
Sometimes I reference it
If I have the choice
And I guess loving you
became a habit, so here
I am trying to conquer it
but as they say,
‘old habits die hard’.

Hi
Years ago
We stayed up till
3 am talking,
And today
I don’t even know
How to say hi,
I cannot compose brilliant poems, sonnets, or verses,

and I cannot speak to you in Latin or Greek;

I cannot move you with any language made up by man.

Love is the only only language I could touch you with

If you only knew how much I could love you.

If you knew I love you;

If I were brave enough to tell you at all.

i wrote out my dreams with a pen
and placed them in a cup
i looked into the stars and then
with pride i held it up

i toasted to the moon above
and branches of the trees
i then said my goodbye to love
and threw them in the breeze

and maybe, maybe there's a day
when one might pass you by
but dream, only a dream can stay
only in dreams we fly

we cling to each other
desperately trying
to perserve what is left
finding darkened corners
to confess our love,
like foxes in the night
with countless eyes
watching our every move.
now i understand
that sometimes
it is easier to love
inside a locked room,
where the world becomes
just one person
and the eyes in the dark
can no longer follow.
- a rabbit hearted girl with foolish thoughts.
as the far distance of the skies
the distance from your eyes
then the ground and the stars
the distance from your ears
I send whispers and sparks
and few words for the times
when I used to touch your arms
with that look!, everything charms
here I am calculating the miles
on a woeful stressfull verses
in a camp fire talking to ashes
few words to burn with papers
to fuel my fire with poetry pieces
hear my hurtfull heart weeps
about many shattered dreams
bleeding between the life claws
tell me about her glorious flames
tell me about the hurrican's chase
the world where they hitch rides
tell me about the next goals
remind me about the lost souls
i'm paying the bills for my sins!
but I did not do any wrong things!
gasping breath and washing tears
playing guitar, and the letter sings
