WILLIAM WORTHLESS
love can leave you stranded like a ship without a shore
like a desert island alone again once more
love can leave you lonely and miles from anywhere
the shoulder that you cried on his no longer there
love take your heart away to a far off place
it can leave your mind floating into space
it can leave you lonely in a sea of blue
these are just some thing that love  can do to you

It's you, who encourage me?
It's you, who guides me to be the best I know how to be?
It's you.

Your words are inspiring.
Your life is thrilling from your rise down to your fall.
Except, greatness you can't keep down.

It's you that stands out before others.
From mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers.
It's you the motivation source.

We might never be able to walk upon water.
Or raise up the dead.
But many things are done for a reason and many seasons.

Some show kindness more than others.
And many does it just for show.
But your heart felt sincerity is real.

We can feel it.
We can read abut it.
More than anything, we can even show it.

We are love.
We are the designated child of God.
Who anointed you to represent him upon earth?
You are him.
In you, we see him.

Love isn't ever wasted, when it's giving.
It's you, who advise us of ways to get to heaven?

I still love you
no matter what
even though you left
even though you broke me
even though my heart is shattered
I still love you
I always will

If this were a stainless life, where my wishes outran my dreams, I would be your Muse. You would be my consummate liberation. Pure. We would be two impeccable and intricate halves to a Whole.

I would delicately whisper the perfection of your thoughts. You would always know that every throbbing second of missing you scalds my chest like a straight shot of whiskey. I would always be guarded in your warrior arms incessantly, while your trembling fingertips fumble & untangle the strands of my hair. This, my love, parallel with your parted angel lips, perishing to ******* skin like deliverance. But instead, let me savor the deep sighs of your soul as you read me poems of Us in an embrace that vows timelessness. You would always deeply crave to flicker your tongue on my **** with the barbarity of a dragonflies' wings. (******* & Button too, please.) Our Love would always be frail and delicate enough to cradle a wounded sparrow or a bruised robins' egg. I would kiss away-- the raw heaviness of the world, the look of disquiet on your face during a restless & riotous week, the howling tears and grieving weeps on your cheeks that you never knew how to cry, your sad eyelids goodnight when a sinuous and cruel current of doubt tries to wash us out. The words we spoke to each other would always be used as a sanctity & a solace at all times and never to rage or destroy or damage. I would revel in the chasms of your heart when I heard our childs' laughter. We would float when you held my hand. In the mall. At the grocery store. In the car. On the sofa. Everywhere. We would always remember that every sky is not pale blue, that every rainfall is not tame, that every grin does not always radiate truth, but if we have each other we will always be pacified. We would never cease to see the fate of our boundless love with every docile or rowdy or concise kiss. We would reconstruct the phantoms of both our pasts into worthless and abandoned yesterdays, so they can never define Us. I would always appreciate the little things with you; Our harmonized breaths as we sleep, the pull of gravity when you take my breath away, every note in our favorite songs, the faint sunlight in Autumn that pierces your eyes to make them crystal, the crust of the moon in the cloudless night sky as we dream in each others arms, every precious word that is conceived behind your sinless lips, every wave and surge of ecstasy of every crescendo in the raptures of our frenzied desires, every smile that is illustrated by you. I would never stop reading you, interpreting you, learning you, saving you, holding you. I would anchor our wary hearts, fasten our hopeful eyes, meet you at every opened door, walk with you down every path of life, and never stop collapsing and descending and falling madly, deliriously, wildly, deeply, doubtlessly in Love with you. Sometimes we would cry ourselves to sleep until the weight of our pseudo laments turned into vigor. I would try my very best soothe every hurt, heal every scar, fight every war. Take every battle and make it mine so that you never have to fight. So that you never have to try. So that you never have to struggle. You would sing me to sleep; soft and quietly, out of tone and raspy, whispering and sleepy. We would just be, simply, us.

if "you are what you eat"
was true
i would help myself
to a bouquet of sunflowers
everyday,
because
i want to learn how to shine
like the street light
outside my bedroom window
i'd line my stomach
with old leonard cohen records
so i could sing all my "i love you"'s
i would stuff my face
with the pages of your favourite book
so i could regurgitate the words
you love so much
whisper them in your ear
while you sleep
i'd take a bite
out of an oak tree
cut me in half
& count my rings
there are so many things
i wish i were
i am not graceful
i'd like to make a toast
to every day that i haven't fallen down
or slipped
or tripped
on my words
see, i am full of mistakes
i never learned
how to ride a bike
god, my parents really tried
but the ground was so unforgiving
& i was too afraid of falling
now,
i would eat those training wheels
so i could keep my balance
walk in a straight line
i'd swallow my watch
so i'm always on time
don't be surprised
if you see me
tucking into those sunflowers
please,
come & bask
in my rays.

It is cluttered inside,
and lonely, as you sit there,
with all your noise, all your baggage,
and all your incoherent pieces,
and at the end of the day,
it is a choice;
it is your fault,
and,
but,
you can change.

Scattered, broken thoughts,
festering over the years,
rooted in fears, washing over you like tidal waves:
Are you even trying to be good?
You’re wasting everyone’s time.
You push others away because you are afraid.
Your clenching, pounding heart responds,
There is danger here, and you are not safe."

No. There is no danger. I am safe.
You are exhausted,
with the collateral damage
of harboring irrational thoughts,
and of having hurt so many people,
trying to protect yourself.

So you brazenly dive into the wreckage,
because you have had enough,
and trudge through your muddled self,
again
and again
and again.

You lurch and welter within your swamp,
and it reeks of self-pity
and blind-spots,
and now you are up to your chin
in quicksand, trapped in vat,
conjured
(with your permission)
by your own monstrous thoughts.

Get outside of yourself;
your mess, your swamp,
your polluted soul,
your trembling anxiety,
your maladaptive thinking,
your baggage,
your noise,
your clutter.

Your mind is overwhelming,
and,
but,
it is ever-malleable.

My mind screamed
It told me to not do it
I never listened to it before
So why should i start now?

My legs burned
Pedaling faster
Escaping the pain
Pretending that was the answer

It was wrong and i knew it
But i didnt care
It felt right
It wasnt

I didnt even look at him
He was my crush and he knew it
He took advantage of that
But i didnt care

We hid
In a place where no one would know
That secrets would lie
Secrets that shouldnt of happened

But i didnt care
I let him in
I didnt know how to keep him out
So he never left

Why, why, why
Do i still cry
When i think about you
And why are you my scar

If i saw you
I would break down
If you saw me
You'd carry on

Your hands
My body
Lying
And you looking down on me

You haunt my mind
My dreams are no longer dreams
When you enter them
I told you to keep out

I left that place
But I hope to return one day
And get over the pain
Ha, sounds simple

That won't ever happen
You give me shivers
Anxiety attacks
Nightmares

But most of all,
you give me something to regret.

Why can't you look at me that way..
where the rest of the world just stops
the way where your lips just curve up a bit to see me

Day dream days, nothing seems real or substantial
just haze, cars on the highways
I'll say nothing so as not to string myself along
I'll mean nothing to anyone so as not to matter when I'm gone

Internal torment, brief tornadoes of emotion
fragments of thought and memory
what if I was somewhere else

all I ever wanted was to belong somewhere right
there are no right places for me
no arms that can hold without becoming prisons

No soul I can love without being burned by

Outstretched hand, fingers like broken glass
cut free what I want to keep by holding it closer
and slice then into me instead

Is it too much to ask for, to hope for..
my dreams impossible harbors
they seem so simple
in the space between sleep and waking

At the picnic table
the sunshine makes everything perfectly warm
solar powered lit from within
I just want to be held, and I am
its real in the moment but not when I open my eyes

I'm just cold, and you haven't called. You are never going to show up at my door and ask for me..
