Sitting here
Staring at the floor
Ransacking my stream of consciousness for
At least one solid thought
To write down
On this horridly clean
Piece of paper

I am tired
And alone
And entirely useless
(die, die, die)
Anywhere but here

Let's get out of this place
Go somewhere far, far away
Let's get in my car and
Drive and drive and drive
Until we forget why we left everything
But each other
Behind
In the first place

We might be dead by tomorrow
Come on, love
Let's go while we still can

I am weird
Standing in my kitchen
Eating yogurt and granola
At 3 am
Having conversations
With myself
Within my self

     Lights flicker              
The clock ticks                            
Thoughts race                                            

*Am I even here?

My pen drips
As I scribble my thoughts
On thin strips
Of emotion

I dig deep into my soul
Utilize the pen in my hands
And turn the ink into gold
With passion and fervor

And a pleasant aching
That I have come to love
Yet my hands never stop shaking
Because these words are

My deepest parts
Screaming out loud
My heart pours from my fingertips
*Will my words ever make me feel proud?

I feel like a monster holding a flower in the cup of my hand
So tender, so prepossessing
Before you came into my life, I feared nothing
But now, now, all I fear is myself
And in all honesty, I am so afraid
I don't want to crush you
I don't want to promise anything I cannot keep
But I can assure you, I will be everything I can, for as long as I can
And I can only hope that is enough
I know you are so willing to love, and I know you probably won't like to know that I cannot surrender to love
I am terrified of the words, "I love you"
But I want this
I want you
I want us
I want this with every fiber of my being
I want to be able to love you
Give me time, for I am more damaged than you will ever know
I need time to heal
The only thing I ask from you is your patience
You are so wonderful and I know you do not deserve to put up with someone as broken as I, but never leave
Don't give up on me darling, please

I am trapped inside of my skin
I am a prisoner to the confines of my body
Never fully comfortable in my own skin
Always feeling so different
And separate
From everyone and everything else
My body has never felt right to me
I don't think it was ever mine
I am not a body
I am not even the person I see in the mirror
My body is essentially the only thing that confirms my human existence
But you see, I exist entirely inside of my head
All that I am, all that I am compiled of
Can be found within my mind, within my thoughts

My skin itches from the inside
I ache to leave my body
To become a formless apparition
Experience things from a new and different point of view
I exist entirely inside of my head
I am the only mind which exists
My body means nothing to me

I am a soul and an entity
I am not a body or skin

There is a tree
That rests and grows inside of me

My bones are the branches
My words are the leaves
And the roots represent my past

But where is my sunlight?
The one to water me
To warm me
To nourish me
To help me grow bigger and stronger
And more wise with age

*Where are you?
I cannot live without you

Love is like time
It is unruly
It knows things
You can feel it in your heart
And your eyes when they light up
You want to feel it every single day
Drift away in the feeling
Love makes the world say the words at night
And think quiet things in your mind as you look to the left and see the little cast of light on his face
And you feel the need to trace the shapes with your fingers softly
Lovingly
You long to tell someone about his allure and charm but you're at an utter loss for words when it comes to how he makes you feel
It is something you have never known
A feeling no string of words could ever successfully describe
A feeling deep within your soul
Warm and igniting
Reaching out and digging its fingers in the same places where pain lingers
And it is an uneasy feeling, but it is a good one

The thought of his smile, and the winsome dimple on his left cheek, dances around in your head
As you think about how it feels to kiss his soft lips, you smile a new smile
An effortless smile, emerging on its own
Creeping up your insides until it reaches your throat
Tingling
Then emerging without permission
Relentlessly spreading across your entire face
The sides of your lips curl up and you can feel it all over
All inside of you
It is warm and whimsical
And then you smile even harder
For you have no control over it
No other option than to just keep smiling
You think of his hands and what they felt like while they were caressing your face
What they felt like as his fingers meticulously wove through the long locks of your chestnut colored hair
They hold a sun inside of you that shines on hope and feels like home
Your heart sighs when his lips meet yours
And it is a heavy feeling, but it is a good one

You try to remember a time when someone else, someone else's warm body next to yours, made you feel like this
But you can't
Because it is a feeling unlike any you have ever known to exist
Even in your dreams you have never felt anything of the like
It is frightening
But so breathtaking
Stirring around the walls of your heart
Knocking and being welcomed in with warm impressions and friendly gestures
You lay next to him and it is homely and the feeling of his body next to yours is comforting
And each time he touches you, your skin remembers
And your heart flutters
Oh, beautiful dream

Walking together, the wind thunderous and chilling
He locks his arm in yours, forms a link between your two bodies
His eyes and endeavors reveal endearment and tenderness
It surprises you beyond belief when he talks of the little things he notices about you
When he executes small gestures that are beaming and full of care and warmth
Things no one else has ever done unto you
You've always thought, "I am so full of love and nobody wants it"
But he wants it, yearns for it, embraces it, swims in it
You've always thought, "I am always the one who loves more, always the one who is loved less"
But he loves just as much as you do, his heart just as big as yours, his intents just as intimate and passionate
Finally you feel you have found someone worthy of your love
Someone whose love is equal in size to yours
Someone who willingly accepts all of the love you willingly ration out
And returns the favor with care and ease
And it is a terrifying feeling, but it is a good one

He kisses you and you can feel the ache and desolation drain out of you
Filling your empty parts full of smoldering ardor and love
And you fall into a rapture so sweet, it completely engulfs you
You can feel the cracks of his youthful heart
And it makes you want to be a part of that
For he is a compliment to you
The two of you bounce and beam off the other
Swirling in perfect intervals
Moving in perfect sync
Your similarities bringing you close
Your contraries bringing you closer
And it is a peculiar feeling, but it is a good one

He came to you when you weren't looking
Garnered you when you weren't striving to be found
And yet here he is laying next to you in bed
His arms tied securely around your body
And you can feel it
Whatever it is
You can feel it
For it has no name
As it is not worthy of being named
The feeling, too great
The sensation, too wonderful

Describing it is impossible
But feeling it is enough
