Yup, I am that girl

Yes, I am that girl

I lay there, thinking of what could have and what should have been, if only our world were a bit closer. If only, you could have been straighter. If only I, if only, I was a bit braver. I lay in my bed wistfully thinking how it would have been nice to get to know you deeper. To get to feel the touch of your skin a little while longer. To look at you in the eye without holding back. To laugh with you. To walk with you, sid...

Relantionship; Post-Trauma

I open my eyes to the harsh sunlight, proudly beaming through my windowIt doesn't cleanse away the dread or mundane sorrowPushing greasy hair away from my faceWalk out the door, down the steps, repressing my failure to communicate From down the street, you call my name, but in my daze, it's distorted As I approach closer to you, a grin sprawls across your faceI force myself to replicate it, but I can't hide where my mind...

Tick, tick tockWhy do I even own a clockTime wasted I marchThat word came backSo sad we'd been on trackAround we go againPromise you saidNo not that wordOmissions I heardWasted chances drainedWhat did you gainNow I'm left pieces apartWords, just nonsenseMy hearts wrenchedNoises from your lipsSecrets destroy usForgetting you sayFaulty memory a plusDo you really thinkThat I would careWe've been through our shareYour life, h...

Understanding

There are many who know you, but very few who understand you.

I want to do good, make people happy. I want to forgive, I want to understand.I don't want to be judged. Therefore I will try never to judge. I want to be loved and cherished. I wish to love and to cherish. Breathe... look in the mirror. None of us were born to be perfect.Not one...Let your shoulders drop. Un-clench your hands and jaw. Relax.Take a deep breath, let it out, let it go... Now repeat aloud...I am awesome!I am...

The Voyage

Life's Journey

The boat sets out gently propelled,By the currents of time,Making its way towards a meanderingRiver. The currents draw it onward,Inexorably towards faster waters.Past shoals and rapids ever forward,Pausing only to embark a companion,To share the voyage. Strange lands glide past,Exotic landscapes where one companion departs,Only to be replaced by another.Ever faster flowing past an unending vista of other shores,The endles...

It was a day just like today, I remember,  The beginning of spring, a day of fresh beauty.  Vanished were the harsh and bitter winds of winter.  The landscape dull and heavy under a sullen sky,  And the very earth hard like iron, cold and dead.  But that was all forgotten now, just like a dream  From which we had awakened into a new world,  Redolent with hope and promise, lifting our hearts,  And filling us with untold jo...

Staircase To Nowhere

All I want is someone who will stay, no matter how hard it is to be with me.

Has she been on the staircase to nowhere In search of the one she lost.  Has he offered to shoulder her burdens No matter what it might cost.   Could the feelings return with his presence  Reaching out to her once more. Could she spin from the past to the present  Dancing close upon his shore.   Will she ask for her wants and accept them No longer merely abide. Will he gather her deep in his bosom Vowing to stay by her si...

BookBoy and the Library of Alexandria: After The End

He loved books. So did she. And that was how the world was rebooted.

Once upon a time, there lived a boy who loved only books.Comic books, textbooks, crime noir, Westerns, romance, classics, pop-science, esoterica, ancient philosophy and mythology. Trilogies, prequels, sequels, reboots, stand-alone, shared worlds. If it had ink and paper, he'd read it. And he had his favourites, oh yes – but Bookboy knew better than to judge a book by its cover. So he gave every book a chance, and he read...

"If you could have one thing, what would it be?" "Hmm?" he asked. "If I could have one thing? Well, that's an easy one. But before I tell you, what about you? What would you want?" "What!?" his partner gasped. "No, no, no, no, no, no. I asked you first. You tell me and then I'll tell you." "I can't, otherwise you might be swayed by my answer," he laughed. "No I wouldn't," his partner proudly spoke. "For nothing can change...

My One And Only

For my Angel Face, Katy

To my one and onlywhom I love with all my heart; I say a prayer every dayand wish we weren't apart; You changed my life in many waysthat I never would have thought; From you I learned so many thingsthere's so much that you taught; Though my life is far from overand my journey's not yet through;  I know I'm a better personfor the precious time I had with you.

I prayed to the heavens and God above and asked Him to send me someone to love; I prayed for someone with love to share; a man not afraid to honestly care;I prayed for someone to love faithfully,for our time on earth and infinitely;I placed my dreams within God's hands; In the form of a prayer for my ideal man;  I've always wanted a love pure and true; I found it the day God sent me you. 

Can I steal away with you into the quiet night? Make love with sweet abandon till dawn's early morning light? Can we hold each other close, forget the world outside?Knowing one unto the other, having nothing left to hide? Can I tell you, darling, that my love for you is true?Will you finally share with me that you love me, too?
