I.
I am *******
drowning.

II.
What about
the apartment at the top of the building,
what about the
two husky dogs
and the.

III.
And the everything.
There was so much.
It was too much to ever lose.

I.
If heartbreak makes you stronger
I don't need to be superman.


II.
But heroes don't get to choose their calling,
and nothing ever falls into your plan.

I.
Even the sweetest people
fall out of love
and even the best
don't always end up above
the tide of tears and
haunt of fears
on earth.

II.
Some people in your life are
meant to be there
but maybe they aren't meant as anything
other then a friend.

III.
Beginning to believe in
a platonic soulmate is a little harder
then it seems.
But god it's worth it,
no matter how my heart keens.

I.
I called her every time the thunder
was too loud to bear
and now
there's no one left
to call.

I.
Adventures
are a hundred times better
captured on film.

I.
Evict the conviction
that convicts are evicted
from grace.

I.
I'm going to be happy
and maybe not tomorrow
and maybe not in March.

II.
But spring will come and
summer next,
and in the fall I'll be okay.

III.
I know it seems a long way off
but I don't know what else to say.
Things are going to take some time
but I think I'll be okay.

I.
Sometimes the best way
you can love someone
is to stop
loving them.

II.
Perhaps,
that's what heartbreak is.

I.
On occasion
the world is more
then us mere mortals
who inhabit it can handle.

II.
Quite frankly,
existing is hard.

III.
Doing it without a hand to hold
is ten times harder
and much less soft
when you fall down.

I.
I'm beginning to understand
how people use the term
"Healthy relationship",
and I'm beginning to understand
what it doesn't mean.

II.
It means
sacrifice,
sure.
But it also means
being allowed
to ask for sacrifice.

III.
It means
needing someone
but
being needed,
too.

IV.
There's a lot that's hard to
tuck under your belt
and keep with you.
People always say give
and take,
but they don't say
how.

V.
Sometimes things get
bad without hitting.
Sometimes things get
harsh without yelling.

VI.
Sometimes things go downhill fast
and no one even means it.
