I think I finally realized what the true defintion of love is,
That it is something that can also be scary and terrifying, and is not just romantic and full of bliss.
That was what finally made me realize that I loved you,
You spilled your thoughts as ink
A rolling field of paper and colour
Painting your emotions away
Filling a blank canvas with life
In the Jungle, there is a mystery of darkness and wonders;
There is a war between a mighty beast and a man.
They kill for pleasure and for vengeance;
Black specs of ash
Trickle down upon me.
As I breathe in
The air is heavy.
I blink
with stinging eyes
and look above to witness
a blazing sky.
Grey overcast

I have seen her from up close and from afar.

I would think to myself I hate her.
Before these teeth sucked blood?
That’s a distant memory
One coated in infinite agony
I saw her there, in the field, lying half-dead in mud

"The day of death grows closer still
All the while I hold the pill
To make or break this path I've chosen
Will I choose the water or poison
For the path of God is never easy

She gazed across the baren lands,
a rusted key lay in her hands,
a salted tear slipped down her face,
she sat on the balcony, crumpling her lace.
Alone she sat hour after hour,
I started just like any other
clean and pure and a heart that was whole
Innocence started to fleet
learned to walk on my own two feet
Although change upon myself would be lovely,Although change to the faults of the world would be just,
Is there ever going to be a difference in the way we look at one another?
Are we ever going to love one another?
When will we stop criticizing one another and grow up?
This is the story of tragedy immemorial.A tale of endless woe.I hope you'll learn from the mistakes.Made by two really quite bitter foes.
Hunched over a bright computer,
Warm coffee accompanies her.
Searching for words to express herself,
Searching for words too difficult to tell.
A closet full of skeletons, a pretty blonde head full of secrets.
watch, as this tragic story unfolds.
my life, my hurt, my strength, and my weaknesses.
my tragedy is one to tell,
a one of pain, and one of hell.
nights of tears, days of agony.
Drain my skin with hands that plunge into my flesh.
Ruby drops streaming down my arms, my legs, my chin.
Sliding and mixing with salty sweat and tears.
My dad lifts my new electric blue Schwinn Mountain Bike onto his shoulders
and hauls it into the garage. He takes a wrench and adjusts the pipes
with the precision of a poet, pulling them to fit my height. I stretch
Dust,
Floating aimless in sepia window sunlight,
So soft, so small,
The red hummingbird feeder just behind the white framed glass.
"...Hearts are best fixed and re-run than left broken, hurting, and struggling to function
And though it may be as fragile as glass
Or if you are never completely healed from the last
Always keep your heart open
Pitter, Patter
Scitter, Scatter
Mice on the floor
Bump, Thump
Rock, Knock
Who’s at the door?
Scratching
Screaming
I bet she’s bleeding
Cleaning is such a chore
Wailing
