Please (Don't) Stop
I've learned to see beautyin the grander things,in nature, in people,leaving room for no emotion.I've found a way to turnoff my heart from things thatseem trivial, important, vital,harmful. I purged my minduntil only goals and plans remained,achieve alone,no one else allowed inbecause there is no one left to care.I've exhausted all possibilities.I am on my own. But you camealong and messed up my world.It wasn't sudden. I fought,I guess, or I was just ignorantto my heart still yearningto be touched, to be kissed, to bedesired in even the most sinful ways.It was gradual, fun and jokes,long talks and stories,until somehow you becamethe beauty in the grander things,in nature, in people,filling everything with emotion.

Home
I found God on 107,on the tight steep turns terrifyingand satisfying to complete.Towering trees, cloaked in sharp greens,supported with eternal brown.The wind and roarof driving too fastencouraged the danger,daring me to mess up,to go over, to end it all.Would it be an accidentor a dream come true?I found God in the silenceof my thoughts, everything emptyand begging to be filled,too afraid to ask.Desperation is a way of lifebut loneliness is the choice.I found God when I foundmyself. The wooded surroundingstook me in and spit me out.The heavens called outin a voice of a stormto guide me home.I am home.

Shattered
I can never seem to get it right. I contemplate both day and night. Hear all my wrongs yet the goods out of sight. My dreams are so high but I can't reach with my height. Short torso, short legs, short arms all in all. Trying to reach but end up a wobble and fall, fall on my face as it shatters my dreams because I have a problem, nothing's ever what it seems. Too good to be true, that’s what my life lives by. I either laugh it off,or I just lie down and cry. To some it might seem bitter, but to some it may seem sweet, in a perfect universe or in my dreams the two would evenly meet. Surely no chance in this lifetime, for this I truly know, I have dug my own grave, so now I shall reap just what I sow...

Tic Tic Tic
Tic tic tic Listen to the sound of our hands moulding together. Finding their imprecise shape into brokeness. You would wonder how does an empty hand have an ocean of secrets on the shores of our fingers.
