Revenge
Out of spite, I should crawl into your lungs.
Bloom flowers and birth sunsets until
You can’t breathe anymore.
Out of spite, I should become your world,
Your oxygen,
Your reason to wake up every day.
Out of spite, I should show you what
Your twisted imagination can make
Love seem.
Out of spite, I should dig my way
Into your psyche,
Your dreams,
Your unconscious mind.
Out of spite, I should pretend to appreciate you,
Tell you all of the things that you want to hear,
And leave.
You feel that?
That...

Release Therapy
I hate rejection.
I’m willing to give out my heart to so many people but I hate when one piece isn’t returned.
I’m selfish.
Here I am watching this man be happy with another girl and touch her more willingly than he ever would touch me.
But I gave him a piece…and he didn’t return it.
He let it burn and now a piece of my heart feels permanently gone.
My heart is barely mine anymore.
I should be okay with this
I should be happy for my friend but envy seems to consume me more than I’m willing to admit.
He ‘s smiling at her…He never looked at me...

Security
I'm trying to secure the unstable.
I'm trying to change the unchangeable.
I want to turn the bad guy into an angel
I want to shut everyone up.
He is the beginning of my demise
I want to be the padlock that matches his key but he is a Master Key.
He solves many locks, some quicker than others.
When he looks in my eyes, I swear that he thinks that I'm special.
I want to believe that I am the only one..but I know that I'm not.
And every time he kisses me, it feels like burning coals on my body.
His gaze is smoldering.
How could...

Push Through
When you are sitting at home and crying silently in your bed,
Like a whispered lullaby. I want my voice to ring in your head.
Push Through.
When your heart feels like it's breaking from the inside out and
you feel like your only option is to get up and shout.
Push Through.
When you have reached your wit's end
and you are confronted by your dark past again
Push Through.
You are more than letters on a screen, more than someone's idea of a dream.
You are flesh and blood.
Unique creatures of this world.
Your DNA is composed in such...

Desert Flowers
We were desert flowers waiting to bloom.
We envied the other flowers near the blissful oasis a mile away.
They seemed so happy on the other side.
But here we were, forced to grow on the driest of sands in the hottest of temperatures.
We lived in heat.
A heat that filled us to where we had to satisfy our thirst in each other.
But we have not yet bloomed.
We have not experienced the feeling of extension in our stems and wetness on our roots.
We have not felt the paradise of the oasis flowers just a mile away.
We were so close yet so far.

An Introspection of the Broken Heart
It's always about love isn't it?
The hardships that seem to control my adolescent life
involves the strife of a potential lover.
Who doesn't want someone to hold and appreciate?
Who doesn't want to go to bed and feel secure?
I was told I need to ease up last night.
I don't know what I did wrong.
Every time I try to show my appreciation to someone, they tell me to back off.
It's like being lured into the sea by a beautiful light
only to find out that it is the sun and you will never reach it.
Now I am stuck in the middle of this sea of...

Fear's Radio
I posses a fear.
A fear that lurks over my heart like
the dark side of a full moon.
A fear that keeps me awake with the ebony blanket of the sky,
Constantly riddled with worry.
Over and over again like a repetitive pop song on the radio.
I have been left behind.
Usually for no reason at all I am submitted to this torture.
But sometimes it is because I succumb
To the dark desires of the human body too soon...
Too quickly
And abandoned with the others who have done the same.
Because really,
Who wants a used doll anyway?
No...
