Down to the blood that pumps my heart
A deep desire to share a lung comes to pass, moved by your siren,I'm null but to submit to a passion untamed, a frantic attack to the heart

don't fret,I'll soothe your sore sorrowful wings because you are my unkind raven
Close your eyes, for im bound to fend off the shade that's haunts you, my darling dove ,Attest my genuine warmth, for you have cured me from petrification.

"Be my innamorata, "she said...

On that fall, I felt my heart become an unseen ravine,
Ever-closing grooves , a new crack with every step.
Descending like a feather into this bottomless silence.

I could already see the stars fading ,
Stars that once lit the sky like the peerless sun,
Stars that left no room for darkness to creep,
Stars that watched over me.
Now I must play hide and seek.

City lights bearing down ,it wasn’t my life that flashed before my eyes,
But the despair that followed,
As I began to lose my way home , the only night I ever trusted.

Light meets dark
Inside my heart
Battle between
Right and wrong
I’m broken Into parts
Angel vs devil
I try to decide
But both dominate
And I’m left
To keep switching sides
The dark slowly wins
And I begin to wither
My heart grows old
And I become bitter
The dark has won
I have lost
Take me oh darkness
To the place of the lost

i am grieving and i am grateful.
i am scared to jump and i am hopeful i will land.
i am comfortable doing life alone with only myself and i dream of spending my life with the one whom i love.
every color exists
in equivocal harmony
within the rainbow
of the heart.

I wonder what version of me exists in your mind.

The snarky valedictorian with every academic award,
The teacher’s pet that always shushed the class,
The art kid with the overfilled sketchbook,
The quiet one at the family cookout,
The teen with no table manners,
The sweet tooth that is constantly eating sweets,
The kid too old to be at the playground,
The person who cried everyday for no reason,
The crush that couldn’t love you back,
The best friend who you could cry around,
The best friend who was never around,
Or a stranger that you just think looked pretty cool, or weird.

Cold and distant,
Warm and caring.
The kindness I gave,
The mistakes I made.

I hope that in all the thousands of stories I’m in
I’m not the antagonist in your story,
And that you don’t hurt too much because of me.

KAREN'S JOURNEY OVER THE FALLS - Niagara Falls is dangerous, and Karen knew it. When she was small her uncle fell into it and died, her aunt too. They were tied together and couldn't escape. Since then, Karen refuses to be tied to another person when she's anywhere near the Falls. Even if a handsome man offered her twenty dollars she'd still refuse.

how far you've come.
do you remember every sunset
since the arrival of the sun
or do you crave the blessed dark
now more than ever?
the depth of misery's embrace,
the calm it brings, the warmth it takes,
like being stripped of every part of being you.
would you still welcome the collapse
or wait for sunlight to break through?
this grave's too shallow.
do you still wait to be transformed
or are you finally brave enough
to be in charge of your own form?
before the old survival instinct
can dig its claws into your throat,
remember, scars are there to guide you,
not to condemn, but to remind you
how far you've come.
