The plaza was a canvas of grays.

Warm yellow light spilled from the café

in sharp contrast to the inclement

weather. Her red umbrella could be

seen popping open as she stepped out

of her black car, as well as her smile.

Let me Float

Into You

Weightless

And Infinitely

Our Love Is

-The Universe-

Without Definition

Go outside have some fun

Go hang out in the sun.

That's all I hear

It's the same old routine.

Nothing new

Nothing cool

Nothing fun for me and you.

Mostly I write because it's easier to write than to talk. When you're typing up a tale, no one questions it when you say things like "the water was as blue as his eyes that day," or "the sunlight tasted like chocolate on my tongue." If you say that kind of thing in everyday conversation, you get put in the loony bin (I'd know). When I write, I can turn the crazy into beauty- I can take the twisted thoughts and untangle them and make sense of them. I can remember things better when I write them, when I throw in the details and the metaphors. People always ask me questions I can't seem to answer- my tongue trips on the words that my hands don't hesitate to scrawl. These words are my very soul, the only things that seem to make sense.

I've stayed above water for so long

But here I am falling back in.

Gasping for breath

Trying so hard to swim.

But the waves keep pushing me down.

Will I make it out in time?

Or will I join her

And stare at the stars?

I look to you and see the

Sun

Moon

And Stars

Everything beautiful.

But I look outside and see

The crying kids

The dying dreams

And think why am I the only one to get

Happiness.

Sometimes it feels like a troll

Living under a bridge

Bored to death

Of itself

Sick and tired

Of only eating goat

Waiting for

The right words

To suddenly appear.

I will

inhale

your

demons

and

give

you Peace.

You called it

We placed our bets

Who will win

And who into debt.

To prove your point you ripped out my heart

Leaving a gash that will make a mark.

I remember our first fight

You wanted it all.

Take my pride my integrity my happiness

And you won.

Piece by piece

Bit by bit

You broke me down.

I remember our next fight

You grabbed me and held me down.

You became a whole new person

Who wasn't joking around.

You left a mark but this time others could see

A handprint bruise and a cut on my knee.

You were winning

You were ahead

You took away my self worth

And said it was all in my head.

Now I'm done

I won't play your game

Cuz I have won this god awful game.

I won't stand for this abuse

I won't stand for your lies

Cuz I have won

And cut all ties

I am strong once more

And don't plan on turning back

So good bye my love I'm never ever coming

Back

Shout out to everyone who has been in a verbally or physically abusive relationship. Stay strong and get help. No one deserves to be treated like that.

Deep in the meadow

Under the willow

A bed of grass

A soft green pillow

Lay down your head

And close your eyes

And when they open

The sun will rise

Here it's safe

Here it's warm

Here the daisies guard

You from every harm

And here your dreams are sweet

And tomorrow brings them true

Here is the place where I love you

Deep in the meadow

Hidden far away

A cloak of leaves

A moonbeam ray

Forget your woes

And let your troubles lay

And when again it's morning

They'll wash away

Here it's safe

Here it's warm

Here the daisies guard

You from every harm

And here your dreams are sweet

And tomorrow brings them true

Here is the place where I love you

Badadadada...

Here is the place where I love you

Deep in the meadow

Hidden far away

A cloak of leaves

A moonbeam ray

Forget your woes

And let your troubles lay

And when again it's morning

They'll wash away

Here it's safe

Here it's warm

Here the daisies guard

You from every harm

And here your dreams are sweet

And tomorrow brings them true

Here is the place where I love you
