Creep Oct 2014
Gliding across the sparkling night sky,
no scratch that, more like
I'm moving across like a leaf carried
by a silent zephyr.
Clasping hands with
a man, with an unknown face,
but a body of perfection,
capable of dancing the night away with me...
I closed my eyes and let everything
blow away.
Stepping with the grace of a
teardrop,
I waltzed,
foxtrotted,
swinged,
meringued,
rumbaed,
my way through the night,
as everyone around me
began to run
and scream, terrified,
as buildings began to collapse
and everything felt so surreal
and and the fires started
and and the walls came closer and closer
and I danced faster, faster yet
and a women came around to me, shaking me, yelling something undecipherable
and I began to cry
as I was finally able to crash.

I woke up with a start, a dreamy smile left on my
plumped lips, and ruined mascara and eyeliner,
and  a dazed starry eyed look.
On the floor, the only evidence
were a pair of ripped up shoes.
follow up to previous poem, for ember. :P basically when i was younger, in my school they taught me how to ballroom dance. at the end of the year, i could have chosen to continue, but didnt in fear of my peer's judgments... now i wish i had cause i loved it... what if-ing everything...

There is this voice that is within me
That wants to scream out preemptively
To prevent my fears from blindly justifying reason

A propensity in our nature
Or is it just nurtured,
Could it be that I’ve created these fears myself?

For why else would it be,
That this voice inside me,
Would scream out for these thoughts to stop?

What if I was wrong?
What if I made a mistake?
What if I lost you?

what if none of this is real
it's just all inside my head
all of these crazy thoughts
are telling me i'm better off dead

what if this whole time
it's all been a lie
and i really have
no reason to cry

what if i don't belong
anywhere in this world
i'm so much better than most
but i'm still a messed up little girl

what if i ended it all
then would everything be okay
what if I've decided
to put a stop to everything today
i got a little depressed again...... and wrote about my worries (well some of them anyway)

you
What if i was just another girl
you met another day
in another setting

then would you kiss me?
would you hold me tight, and tell me all the things that i want to hear?

or what would you do darling
because i would start my life over
just to have a chance with you

What if it's  not real?
What if it turns out a lie?
What if... its perfect?

“You are my
greatest what if,”
she whispered

But **** it,
what if was never enough
to make her stay

What if was never enough
to make things right

What if was never enough
to make things work

What if was never enough
to keep her from letting go.

What if will never be enough

It’s been years
Since I last saw you
As we talked
Like nothing happened
As I asked how you were
You made me think
Things were good
But before I left
Out of earshot
I wish I never
Heard you whisper,
“You were my favorite
And most painful
What if”
Because, my dear,
You are mine

those days when you're too sad to write
yet you know writing is the only thing that could possibly fix you
and in that moment you wonder
what will become of you when you can write no more.
