Why is it
That on the darknest nights
The cold brisk mornings before the sun awakes
The tear stains I wipe up
The pillow i wash to hide the pain
When being a woman has its monthly due

Why is it only then
That I finally feel human
And not the robot pretending everything is fine?
For the pain I've lived
For the pain I've caused
For the hurt I've seen
For the scars I bear

It would be easy to push it along
Pass on what was not mine to bear
Allow it to slick off me
and be dumped on someone else

But that wouldn't be me
Causing pain to others
No, my path has always had thorns
And even though I may struggle
I still walk through the vines

Wishing
hoping
praying
putting energy into
letting this pain
finally rest

Finally be done with its path of descrution
all for the hope
that I may be the last stop
and no one else will be hurt
because of wishes sent my way
I saw you again
The wispers in the wind
The song nature sings
The ghost that is just out of sight

You were rough
Angry
Upset that my heart
was still yours

But once you looked at me
through the built up glass
once you saw the scars
your anger cracked

You became the man I knew
having everything fall away
and you stayed...
You still stayed when I tried to walk away

Calling my name out
trying to get more
then the precious seconds we had stolen

It was nice
to see a friendly face
when everything is cruel

But yet I still hope
Still pray
that one day
its not stolen time anymore
that we get to use
and make up for the years apart
A intended script
A heart felt desire
Stopped and stared

Congrats you did it
At what cost?

Yay your happy
But whose there around you

A intended path
But to end up alone
Due to a miss step on the trail

And then there's a ghost
Surrounded by darkness
But still holding a candle

Small and dim
But does that flame still burn
Or is it a match I see burning?

Is that hope of light
What still calls me at night
When life is cruel
And I'm missing home?
For my devil, congrats i knew you could do it
For my twin, your side is still waiting
Simple
Soft
we were children guessing
but our souls knew

time apart
did nothing but fuel our flame
made us drunk on the sensation
learning, but also knowing the other

A match with very few problems
a match we created
a match we both burned at

Every kiss full of the unspoken
Not just the "I love you"
but the knowledge that time is short
That every one, may be the last
A feeling that if we were to die
we would do it on that kiss
pouring ourself into the other
so they may live

All in a moment to the untrained eye

____________________­

Your kiss a mere shadow upon my lips
Your presence a comforting shadow
Are you really here
or is this the comforting imagination of a fool?

One who believes in stories
and longs for her forever once more robed in purple?
A single drop
A causal meet up

But anything with him
is never just causal

Feelings grow
Hearts break

Memories are sweet and warm
but his words cut like ice

Yet
I still wish for those few moments

where I was his
and he was mine

Marked by teeth
Lips swollen from harsh kisses
and everything I ever could want
A love that never can be, for a one sided coin is never a true fate.
