And suddenly
In this moment
I wonder why

I've forgotten...
And I need you to remind me
Brielle Lachelle Mar 2015
She looks like she's in pain
But the image comforts me
Because through her skin
I can see myself hurting too
Brielle Lachelle Mar 2015
Isn't it amazing
How your mind rules your body
So much so
That your simple thoughts
Can make you feel sick?
Don't be distant with me
Brielle Lachelle Mar 2015
I can hear you
and I'm sorry
This is all I have:

No words...
A girl sits
A boy stands.
Their eyes meet from across the vacant airport in the early morning.
They don't move
For just longer than a moment.
Then they both go
Back to each other
As their love always pulls them.
They hug.
She starts to cry.
She can feel his emotion through him
His language the same as hers.
"I guess you missed me" he attempts to playfully break the silence
Her response is the tears that roll down her face.
They pull apart,
He sees her face,
So they reembrace.
Deep breaths fill the air...
"I'm sorry" he whispers
"I know" she finishes
-----
When their eyes lock
They don't see anything else
They can't feel anything else
They see each other
And everything is.
-----
He feels awful when he sees her father
He hates himself for what he's done
But we all make mistakes
He never meant to hurt no one.
Her father smiles
He's happy to see him too
What is this maddness?!
We all wish we knew
-----
Guilt eats him alive
Even when he looks at her
Oh the sadness in his eyes...
As she hugs him he voices
"What was I thinking?" "I must be mad"
He promises it won't happen again
But how can she believe him?
He's broken that promise once before.

(Listen my friends,
it's the best part
The part you've been waiting for)


So why are they back?
How are they at it again?
Why's she putting herself through this?
-wonder her friends

She & Him both remember:

Love.
They're in love.
They're doing this for love

Because something greater
something stronger
is telling them
to be together
Is telling them to love
Is telling them to live
As a part each other
They'll never be done
They've only just begun

Just let them love
and let them live.
There will be mistakes
There may be secrets
But
There will always be love.

She didn't want to keep things from you
But she guessed this was obvious
She trusts you
With her life
You know that's a fact
She loves you endlessly
And that's that.
I love.
Shallow breaths,
tight chest,
blurry vision,
No rest.
*******
by my thoughts:
make it stop...
‘give it all you’ve got.’
Head spinning,
hope dwindling.
Skin burning,
bones chilling.
Drowning in air
a sinking ship;
dying of thirst,
and I don’t get a drip.
Surrounded by an ocean
and I can’t see
anything.
I can’t hear
for the life of me.
This feeling
I swear
is killing 
me.

Whispering:
“give in
don’t get up
stay home
you’re not enough.
Even if there’s nothing wrong:
walk out the door
and harm
will come”
This ubiquitous feeling
draping
over me,
enveloping
everything,
wet,
and weighted...
bet you’ve never hated
someone so much
you’d stab them in the chest
and without a moments rest
grab them at the throat
so tight they can’t whisper a note
and leave them wondering
if they’ve even given their best
after their whole self feels negated.

**This hate,  
this punishment 
or something,
draped
over me
so viciously
is known as:
Anxiety.

Why
  can't you see I'm there?
Why
  don't you answer me?

I wonder if you're busy
Answering her instead
Hmph
Brielle Lachelle Mar 2015
I've decided

I'm in love
    with beauty
