drink wine with me -- or whiskey if you prefer drape your arm around me -- or curl up with your head in my lap stay up late with me, talking until dawn -- or go to bed early, as long as you're next to me keep me on your mind -- let me know what you're thinking, especially if it's of me keep me in your heart -- and promise to wear it on your sleeve

your worth is not determined by the amount of attention he gives you

i don’t need to be the center of your universe as long as i have the privilege of existing as a single star in your galaxy i’ll have the comfort of knowing we’re in the same sky

some of my favorite moments are when we’re lying in bed right on the edge of sleep i can trace your outline memorize your shape and feel your breath as you relax into a dream you’re so tense during the day these moments of intimacy remind me just how fragile you are -- that you deserve the utmost care

i am just a shadow sometimes ahead -- others behind maybe just a shiver of darkness or i could take up the entire room with my vastness i’m always there, but never noticed and disappear completely when light turns to dark at times, i lay groundwork, but immediately get stepped on as the limelight is taken up by the overwhelming presence of more more than me -- more than a shadow more than a flat, dark void that is with you wherever you go i’m there, but it doesn’t matter you’re the bright, bright light and i’m just a shadow

it’s okay to feel this way blood does not excuse the words slapping you in the face blood does not condone the behavior -- hypocrisy -- that sears into your heart it’s okay to step back -- to heal blood does not have to control you

allow yourself to purify purge the evil -- the fake open your arms to the sunshine -- the good

empty stares meet an empty face blank feelings -- waiting to be filled in anger - depression - hell, happiness? force what is needed, hide what isn’t it’s all a part of the show, isn’t it?

You take my fallen petals and try to put them back in place As I stand here wilting all my focus is on your face. Your tongue's stuck out in concentration as you dig into your own space I'm able to root into your warmth and I give in to your embrace.

Do you ever feel trapped in a never ending cycle of past memories you'd rather forget? You're spiraling falling gasping for air... But you can't catch that breath. You wish you could actually sleep, but they keep taunting you. -------------------------------------- Then you open your eyes and he's still next to you. His calming breath your reminder He is now. You are not then.

the idea of light will illuminate our hearts on cold winter nights

I remember emotion Like the deaf recall a tune. I still have the notion, But even that will be gone soon. The songs are muffled at first, But the notes remain. I can still be immersed In musical joy and pain. But like a copy of a copy of a copy, Notes are lost and misplaced, The whole thing gets sloppy, A masterpiece defaced. Finally, the end of the blaze The last notes die in a frost Leaving the profound malaise That something beautiful was lost. Dead is the feeling I once had. Left in a mute concert hall, I wonder how it can hurt so bad, To feel nothing at all.

Every morning, she wakes up to a hollow chest & stormy, red rimmed eyes. It's so easy to be in love with being in love; swallowing fake truths & sincere lies. But her heart— it forgot how to smile two years ago, because no one can tell the difference between imitations & reality. "Please, please find me; I'm lost between the cracks of dying stars." Desperate to breathe yet wondering how it would feel to drown, she's never belonged in this universe.

Take one boy, Brown eyes filled    with the curiosity    and wonder    of one less than    half his age. Tall and slim,    so when her arms    wrap around him    she can almost do so    twice,    with her head resting    comfortably on    his chest. Mind filled    to capacity    with melodies    and philosophies    and facts about    Native American plagues and    extended techniques,    yet longing for    more. Add in a darkness    which lingers over    his heart,    shadowing his thoughts,    his feelings, his actions,    leaving those who care    about him    isolated, helpless,    alone. And, on top of that, Pla
