her own skin, so thin.

you

the

you

a

Don't you remember?
We were best friends.
We loved each other.
Don't you remember?
We talked about the future.
Everything seemed so certain.
So what happened?
Everything went from "is" to "was"
and "yes" to "maybe."
So what happened?
The time I used to spend with you
I now spend wondering where I went wrong.
Am I to blame?
I let things get out of hand.
I let you have your way.
Am I to blame?
I fought too hard
when I should have let you go.
So where do we go from here?
You pull me in close
when you feel like it.
So where do we go from here?
I want to be strong,
but I want you, too.
It's something about the way you
Smell.
Maybe it's the way you wear your
Hair.
The sound of your
Voice
Resonates
My inner soul.
Beats
My core like a drum.

Visions of our life together
Haunt
My dreams.
I can't have you.
I try so hard,
But come up
Short.
It overtakes me.
Drowns me.
The desire fills my lungs.
Pushes out the air.
I'm suffocating.

I've been given feeling again,
Only to be
Teased.
Taunted.
You dance in front of me,
As if begging me to
Take you.
Then I reach,
Scolded.

This isn't how it should be.
Hiding in the shadows.

Captivated
by your face.
Oh that beautiful face.
The one I dream of at night.

A smile so
Stunning,
My heart stops.
If even,
For one second,
I've made you
Happy,
My life is
Complete.
If you feel
Beautiful,
If even for a
Second,
And you
Smile,
If only for a second,
That's one second,
I've made a
Difference.
For that split second,
You truly felt
Beautiful,
And everyone deserves to feel
Beautiful.
Especially someone,
Who smiles,
The way you smile...

No one told me cloud nine has a boarding fee.

At least the the elevators run easy.

Some red on the pavement is the quickest fix there is.
It's those moments right before bed that
I miss you
the most.
I can feel you in my chest whenever
you're not next to me.
You are the rain.
You are the sky.
You are the piece that fit's
just right.
I remember you in a thousand different ways.
The way you feel, smell, taste, breathe, sleep,
move, talk, walk, listen and smile.
The way you look at me.
The way you make me believe.
I want to kiss you with all the passion that
this world has left in it.
I want to dance us into that place where nothing
exists but us.
And if you show me your world then I'll show
you mine.
I'll show you the colors in the music and the
beauty of a streetlight.
And I won't be afraid.
You are the girl whose soul is filled with stars,
and I am the boy wishing I was where ever you are.
I wish I could tell you it was a Thursday,
Maybe give the beginning of our extra load a concrete date.
But I can't tell you it was Thursday and I
Can't tell you it wasn't.
Sometimes I'm glad the devil is in the details
Because then with me he'll never be found.

Let me whisper you a world spread in open-palm
   and lay you wide-pictures etched in cobble-stone
   till your feet find their way in the wake of alt-time

Let me grow you orchards on margins of probabilities
   and capture breezy-smiles to place upon your sleeve
   till illumined-steps of afternoon crumble before angels

Let me turn the planets on fingertip high upon wheel-rim
   and show you matte mirror-lakes of superb-chances
   till the evening-sky feels the shy-tiptoe of moon-kiss


please… let me….?

..till it is.. none less than full.

Inspired by kate bush song.


sub-entry:  even

even if you (ever) go away in the afternoon
I will wait for you
even in the next time

the odds are.. evening out
