i am the girl with
more faith in myths than in
the future.
there are more dead bodies in this world than the living.
and if that doesn't frighten you, then i
don't know what would. i guess you could
say that graves are just the closets in which
we hide our skeletons in.
{but don't
forget to
throw away
the keys}
there are ghosts all around us.
and i think that maybe,
just maybe,
i'd rather take my chances down in
the underworld with them than up
here where the earth is slowly
dying—
all because of the living.
I won't leave,
Even if,
You say you hate me.
I won't go,
Because I can see,
The pain you hide.
I know you don't trust.
That's fine with me.
I'll just stay,
Until little by little,
Your heart opens.
Until you can learn,
To love and trust again.
I promise,
I won't leave like the rest.

as beautiful as a dream
"The woman of my dreams"
And you (choose to) forget that the dream dreams you,

"Living a dream life"
Yes, you are the hero, but not yours the script
And you don't know how it will go,
nor how long it will last,
nor how it will end
"And then I awoke"
With only a fleeting memory fading fast
like wisps of smoke from your grasp
"So beautiful it made me cry"
And though the tears are of joy,
All you are left with is despair.
i don't sleep anymore. or at least i don't think i do. it's one of those things i stopped keeping track of like the number of words that make my mother cry (cancer, lists). if i'm being honest, i stopped sleeping (maybe) around the time i started thinking in a series of parentheses.
because i don't sleep, my arteries demand too much air (oxygen, clean) from the space outside my window. i make my room my heart, cold. it fills with a wind only bricks can breathe, an ice only soil is willing to withstand. i am winter's soul.
the world becomes a different place when you stop noticing sound (mute, black and white film) and start noticing every m
You'll never know
How much you mean to me
How your work drives me to be more
How your words give me the courage to go on
How your being gives me reason to wake up in the morning
You'll never know
How your voice speaks to my soul
How your touch sends chills down my spine
How your eyes show me such wonder
You'll never know
How your actions affect my every move
How your presence alone makes my day
How your friendship makes my life worth living
You'll never know
How much I admire everything you do
How much I enjoy every minute you're with me
How much I love every piece of you
You'll never know
How you saved my life just by b
