he smiles
turn up the lights
he coos
everyone cheers
he breathes
everyone waits
he sleeps

Like clockwork.
Once a week.
Wake me up.

Intrigue
The corner of her mouth is turned up
As she beckons me closer
Her breath smells of stale cigarettes
And .vodka.
She
licks
her
lips
And draws me in
A beautiful spider weaving the web
The Night
is dark
The Time
is late
Her eyes are encapsulating
Covering me, Taking me in, Making me shiver
with
anticipation
of things to come...

Through life
Not knowing
Questioning everything
My life
My love
My thoughts, ideas, feelings
Your motives
Your looks
Your questions
I watch
e v e r y t h i n g
The trees
The bees
The birds
My words
Your eyes
Your lies
Your lips
I hear
the tone of your voice when you ask if i'm okay
the music playing softly in the background of my day
the engine of his car revving as he drove away
the condescending voice in my head as i try to hide the pain
I feel
empowered
alive
wise
and
free
I feel
like
me

Self-Absorbed
the other night you told me
that you're just not good enough
that you're
lost
and
scared
and damaged goods
and don't deserve to be loved...
that he said that and she did this
and because of it
you're worthless
that-you're-dying-inside-because-you-don't-know-how-to-make-it-hurt-less
this
NAMELESS
FACELESS
BLAMELESS
.pain.
that resides in each of us
deep inside our souls
keeping us from seeing the bigger picture
keeping us...

Secret
I need to tell you something,
It's kind of a secret,
But it's not bad or anything,
It's not something I'll regret.
I hope you don't think I'm silly,
It's not really a big deal,
But it's not something I say willy-nilly,
And to me it's very real.
I don't know how to say this,
I hope you'd say it too,
Sometimes it's easier just to kiss,
But I need to say:
I love you.

Moving On
She wears dark sunglasses
To hide red eyes
Says she has a phone call
So she can go and cry
Laughs and jokes in class
Goes home and wants to die
Needs a change, needs a chance
Grabs onto some hope

Conversation With Myself
Not-so-quietly
The nine-year-old inside me waits
She speaks breathlessly
Of flowers, white dresses and vows
Talks incessantly
Of song lists, rings, doves, invitations
Whispers so quickly
I love you forever and ever
And asks so loudly
When will he, when will he ask...
Will you?
