residing
i.
Time is ticking by--
passing like my thoughts
fluent in its sorrow
bold in it's expression
ii.
Love is growing--
connecting us
metamorphosizing
we are one
iii.
We are, two perfect
parts of a dual nature
&& I am ambitious
she is a part of me
&& I am the space
that resides within her heart.

1. Getting Out Of The Dark
I don't feel quite like I used to
not like a lone star orbiting around an empty space
nor like a certain flower rising to something steady
I am enabled to grow yet I diversify,
clench on to something unfamiliar
in an attempts to hide away
the spotlight is much too bright
and I feel like disappearing today
So--I'm changing [in a million ways]
until I seem like a stranger to everyone else
but I still know who I am
not a mannequin, not a puppet
and I'm breaking free
of the rope that used to tie me
to ideals I used to think were good for me
but sometimes what's best f
waking up;
I'm in love with a man
whose barely there
I wear his shirt
so I don't feel abandoned
I have a habit of waking up to his eyes
but when my hands reach him
I remind myself it's just a picture
still, his smile can fool me
even from miles away
through a plastic surface;;
unexpected compromise;
I have memorized his face a thousand times
until there are scars in my eyes
He hides, behind my irises,
finding truth in color,
finding conspiracy in circular competition
still, he remains unsheltered
I'll blink him away for another moment
until my mind takes over
and my concentration falters
there's screaming in my ears
and his whispers still resonate
nesting in my eardrums
until all I end up thinking about is him
His ring is dangling from my neck
it never changed did it?
we strayed, we fell apart,
we rebuilt ourselves on scars
and tried to make it work time after time
but never was any effort reall
Sometimes I'm caught between--
what's right && what causes happiness
it's a crucifix, beheaded by decisions
and there's an incision, penetration of the soul
I'd like to disqualify every asset of lost hope
every malfunctioning of reason
but through the days and nights
selfish needs && wants flow through me
a picture doesn't cut it anymore
and the distance is palpable
it never used to be the sole reason
but it separates us more than the memories do;
I've stopped dreaming of you
stopped wondering where you are
or if you're okay
Love;obsession
It makes no difference
I've so many puncture wounds
that I can't even see past the bre
I can feel you lurking;
beneath my skin
and it tastes like disappointment,
yet again
I feel like I'm anticipating;
the next fall
While staying up just enough
to watch it all
I felt you slip--a long time ago
and I couldn't quit
I didn't know...
Didn't know things would be this complicated
or that you'd give up on me and not even know it
That you'd push me to my limits
and right over the edge
That I'd walk through Hell
it was just another test...
Too easy to fall, too weak to sink
too proud to crawl, too tired to think
and in my countless nights;
you are remembered
and through all the pain and fights
I realized--without yo
