Blanket

Awkward
My special blanket
It covers my mind

I'm used to my blanket
Like a small child I carry it everywhere

My mind is a dark place
But my blanket makes it not too bad

There was a time it wasn't there
& it was a nice break

But that was just a break
A holiday

Time to get back to work
My blankets in charge

It tells me when to eat, never
It tells me when to sleep, all the time

My blanket used to give me breathing room
But now, its suffocating me

My blankets choking me
& I've stop struggling

My mind has put the blanket in total control
I shut down

I push everyone away
Even the boy I love

I know it kills him
To see me this way

But my blankets my minds dictator
It calls the shots

I love you, I promise
But this blanket will **** me in the end

Like a blanket of snow
My depression covers me

& I've let it win

Drip, drop, drip
You fired from the hip
Third degree burns
Coming straight from your lips
I start to tremble at my fingertips
I'll never learn because I never made the list
And I guess you could say I got a little ******
So now I roam the country with nothin but my fist

Ever since, ever since
I stopped givin a ****
I just run around
With my heart in my fist
You sent that email saying you don't want to live anymore.
I reply and you don't respond,
I'm scared for your life
your my best friend
and  I couldn't live without you
your mean the world to me
and you say those things about wanting to be dead
and wanting no part of humanity
you regret a lot
but the one thing you don't
was keeping our friendship.
We are a fragile pair,
you and I.
We been through a lot together.
you say that you open your doors and want everyone to leave
but i will never let you go .
you are my companion.
if not, then what are you to me,
I need you here.
you have a sister and a brother
a mother and a father who cares for you
you seem to think nobody cares
but I care.
I loved you from the start
we will never part our ways.
we have the same issues
of depression and insane
we get along like pb and j
Wow I'm lame
But I get that you want to be alone
but when you're alone
you do things that scare me  
And scare me to death

that email put me in tears on the spot,
don't do something you will regret

My best friend is suicidal and he knows im there for him but he won't listen. he likes to think that being alone is the best way for him to get his depression out but he keeps things bottled up and someday he will explode
Autumn, beautiful, creative, dancer
Everything I have ever dreamed of

Fresh, gentle, harmonious, incredible
Joyful morning pecks

Kisses, lips meeting now
Over the heads of everyone near

Place quiet rapturous sweet
Terrific morning kisses on mine

Understand, vigorous woman, exceptional
Yummy kisses like yours could make me

Zealous

Praise the spells and bless the charms,
I found April in my arms.
April golden, April cloudy,
Gracious, cruel, tender, rowdy;
April soft in flowered languor,
April cold with sudden anger,
Ever changing, ever true --
I love April, I love you.

A day I shall never forget.
The day I believed in love at first sight.
I sat in my room that night thinking it would be another night.
another night filled with bad thoughts and tears.
I took a chance and talked to you.
And baby that was the best thing I ever did.
We all have to jump for someone to catch us.
We all have to go through a time of hardship to truly see what we want.
I want you and only you.
I want you for the rest of my days.
Best friend is an understatement you are my soul mate.

You say you love me and baby i believe it all.
The heart does not know time.
The heart only knows by what it feels.
No it did not take long for me to fall for you but that time makes no difference.
We are infinite.
We are that fairytale love that every little girl dreams of.
You are oh so beautiful.
Every part of you inside and out is utter perfection.
I use to wonder why God put me through pain.
I now realize it was to show me that my other half is you.
half a heart is all i am without you.
we are two lovers and dreamers with hearts singing the same sweet song.
Our love is forever for you are the other half that I have searched for so long.

his emotion, the matter of which
had long been permeated too deep below
under a bedrock blanketing of masculinity
he had carried deep below himself
from youth

he didn't shed a single tear
when they buried his father
early this same year


it was in this emotion
he had held at arms length
where he didn't see himself in how
he felt
but in the product of a reserved character

his generation had worn no cross
rest laurels on the working man
he saw his peers as no great loss


in seldom shedding a tear
he saved face, in some amount
of personal self restoration
and

*it was only in his love had seen
some inkling of inner working
in his longing perchance to dream

I stood in front of the big glass doors
Of some sub urban shopping mall
Conversations buzzing by
Like flies in a bathroom stall
What a ******* ****, Break up with him!
