Glass

Have you ever seen that glass

That is a mirror from one side and transparent from the other?

Because it exists between us

As I stare straight at you

And you somehow don't see me.

Space

Around me is a space that cannot be filled by a million of the wrong people

But with one right person

It is bursting to the brim.

Tell Me

With every breath I take

Convincing myself you might love me

I lose an ounce of me

So tell me how you really feel

So I can cry and hurt and one day,

Be whole again.

Runaway

Have you ever loved someone's pure so much

That you were afraid your damage would taint it

That you crumbs will stick and your ruins will settle

And worsen night to day

Have you ever loved someone's pure so much

That you asked it to stay away?

Wild Eyes

Her eyes were the wild ones

That made you forget

How dangerous wild could be

Becaues looking into her eyes

You felt safe amidst her wild.

Beautiful

A butterfly shows off its wings

Regardless of whether or not we recognize its beauty

So how come only until one tells us we are beautiful

Do we live as if we are?

Tabula Rasa

Dear child,

You are so pure and untouched

Mouth full, mind empty

Eyes wide, but hadn't been for long yet

Oh precious, here is an empty canvas

What will you draw?

Words

Words would be nothing if humans did not give meaning to them

So bless the scientists and mathematicians

But I will continue to write

As long as words can make you laugh or cry

Because we seek meaning

And I seek to write the words that possess it.

Love Changed

You took so long to accept my love

That it is no longer the love you want

What Love

Love cannot recognize itself

Until it is worn and torn and broken and mangled

Until it does not resemble itself anymore

Until it is no longer itself at all.

Sadness

Sadness can smile bigger than the happiest of souls.

Hurricane

She was a hurricane

Not because she was destructive and terrorizing

But because she was beautiful and fleeting

Gone before the people busy running away could turn around and appreciate it.

Alien Tongue

To an alien

My words are lines placed in unfamiliar patterns

A mark here and a curvature there

But to those who understand

My words are brave

And exist to give my thoughts and my beliefs a place in this world

To stand until that world has changed so much

That my words are once again

Marks and curvatures

And lines placed in unfamiliar patterns.

Live

I cannot live for you,

But I can make you really really want to.

My Favorite Look

The way I look when you look at me

Is my favorite look in the whole wide world.

Brunette

We've come to worship blonde hair and blue eyes

But I've always been intrigued by darkness

There is so much mystery, excitement, and knowledge it holds

It is anything but dull.

Brown Eyes

Her brown eyes shown as if the sun were fighting to break through them.

For Just You

If you held a tube in the ocean

And put your eye to it

You can convince yourself it only exists for you

But it is vast and loved and beautiful

Sought after by all

And can provide only so much love

For just you.

Pyramid

The bottom of the pyramid is the foundation

Without it all would crumble and fall

It cannot stand on a flimsy point

Or that is what i tell myself

Because I know that

I am not your

peak.

Love Me Anyways

You are afraid

And I am afraid

And it frightens you that I am afraid

So guess what?

Everyone is afraid

Just love me anyways

One Of Those

He was one of those people

He was more beautiful the more you talked to him

Not his face but his soul

So transparent that the deep red of his pumping heart was visible

But it was a kind hue

One I enjoyed looking at

The way I wish he would enjoy looking at me

Not my face but my soul.

She Writes

She writes

And I read

And with every word

She heals me

For a Friend

Your art is a picture

And my art is words

But either way

We are putting pen to paper

And embarking on an adventure

That sprouts from my brain

And scatters through yours
