Like the strings of his guitar,
She is his melody for life now."

Strength
Is not
Keeping your head
Above the waves
It is sitting calmly
opposite
an advancing typhoon
Perfectly unstirred,
And perfectly unimpressed
By nothingness

Strength
Is not
Overcoming
But remembering
Your immeasurable
Greatness

It is surrendering
Yourself
To the pull
Of the seabed
And laughing
At the notion
Of death
You’re a bitter sweet after taste
Of what was,
And never again will be
I’m unsteady and staggering on the words you never said,
You never said
But I’ll drink to you.

Because I want to feel
Featherweight,
You’re a fermenting chaos
And I cannot digest you quick enough,
I cannot digest you
Why do I drink?

You’re a craving
Debauchery,
My guiltiest pleasure
What’s moderation when I’m with you?
When I’m with you
I want to drink with you.

There will be no burden of time
Ignorance,
So incredibly blissful
We’ll forget we live miles apart,
We live miles apart
So I drink

I can't look into,
those eyes,

eyes that I've learned will judge you,
eyes, that will make or break you,

no,
please no.

I can't look into those eyes,
*but I look you in the eyes,

and every memory,
or being laughed at is erased,

all I see is your beautiful face,
and maybe the laughing memories comeback,

because all I think is,
I wanna kiss you,

and how much,
your going to laugh at me,

if I did,
eye contact is a hard thing for me.

A giant figure passes her in the hall
he sends disguised smiles to everyone,

People see him as honest,
but she can see through his ruse..

His eyes even mask his intentions,
something no one but her could see through..

A delicate step was all it would take,
as she knew his past, present, and future..

She took her chance,
and as she gazed into his eyes,
she was looking through the windows to his soul..

Only to utter one word,
sealing his fate for life,

You thought this was a love story, right?

The hungry beast.
She left me alone
For a couple of weeks;
She had left me in liberty

She has now set herself free

She's the invisible spider
Crawling all over my body.
She's the magical monster
Climbing inside of me.


I dread the nights,
I put up a fight;
Insomnia likes to cheat

She promises an hour
That hour becomes *eight

The sun leaves me blinded
I'm not ready for today...
Tonight
I've been denied my right
To a peaceful, wonderful sleep.
