You find warmth wherever it may be 

A blanket 

Someone's arms 

Or the fire you started 

When the sun doesn't hold you

like it should 

You take 

You take the heat of strangers

and call it love 

But the moon tells you the truth 

The cold unwavering truth 

That the love isn't found in those

dark alley ways 

But then where?

Still the truth leaves you shivering...

Holding her umbrella 

looking at all these people 

Why don't they have umbrellas

Are they not scared of the rain 

I don't understand

I ask them if they are cold 

They say it doesn't bother them 

anymore 

I offer them shelter under mine 

They reassure me that they are not 

cold 

How do their clothes stay so dry 

I look down to see 

that I am somehow drenched i...

There's this window 

and then there's me 

peering out 

trying to find her 

I'd like to say that the moon 

makes me feel less lonely

but something about it feels

so cold 

so alone 

and yet I can't look away

Come and stare at the moon 

a little longer with me 

We can drift into space and finally 

be okay

Resting our heads above the stars 

no mor...

I have to ask you

I know you don't want to hear this

or see me like this 

but I need to know

Do you remember when I was little 

and I couldn't do anything on my own

Do you remember feeling so special

because I needed you

Do you remember how it felt to protect me

when no one else could

Is holding me in your arms a distant memory

Do you wish you could go back

I want a paper boy who loves everybody

but me

He never see's my potential

he thrives from my downfalls

One day he will slip and

die

a somber death

It'll be good for him 

to see the truth

But this paper boy has gone this long

sticking to my back

I like the weight against my spine

the light touch of his body is a vague bliss

I can't get anywhere else

He knew...

and so she starts the bath 

Filled with roses 

and more roses

She hates the smell of liqour

a person she shouldn't be

But it's fun

are you having fun?

A hat that suits her

with pink flowers 

and a foreign language written across

Our innocent minds wanting to be wild

and tame

and felt

Do you want to see what I do

when I feel trapped

I survive

Growing ...

Pretty bluebirds 

I want to be one of them

Dandelions that cover the dirt 

I want to be one of those

Insignificant beautys that are praised

for simply being

They get to be in the sunlight with no words

to encourage them

I want to go out and see them

but a black cloud blocks me from seeing

I feel the grass and warmth of the sun

but everything is dark

Rain drops f...

Flowers grow in sunshine

they die there too

I see her

this girl from afar

She is staring at me

her gaze like a hawk's 

Her expression is clear

she understands her heart will be mush soon enough

The way she drags her body

scraping her skin

The blood on her hands gives her no reaction

A comfort she finds in feeling so little

Poor girl

I know you now

Your bon...

A coward is the worst thing to be.

They placed me inside the trees to see how I would react

I had to learn on my own what good decisions were

The sun meant warmth and finding peace in right now

The moon meant howling creatures and tricking my self into feeling warm

It had to be the darkness that got to me

I had no chance there

I was told nothing

not one thing to believe in

What if it was me

What if questions trail on in my brain

What if the way you think and preceive these girls

is passed down to me

What if no matter how hard I love 

it will just tear in two

I scream and beg to at least hold on to one of the halves I broke

it's too late

What if my coping mechanisms become my personality

I think these are valid concerns but what if it doesn...

You assumed I wanted to cope with you

I said yes

I kept doing these things and wondered

how I changed 

or when 

And then there's you so open and 

willing to drown it out for one more night

or two

I kept laughing and dancing 

because that's what young girls are suppose to do

Live your years before you become wrinkly

and your dancing isn't considered sexy

I will h...

Made of paper and bright colors

You cut them different when you're bored

hollow and weak

Perfect for you

But people have names and they have meanings 

Colored eyes of wisdom

Pretty souls with wonder

You can take what you want

but they don't need what you need in order to live

She rages in this infinite land of flowers

She stomps and rips them from the earth

Teeth f...
