_Nothing will ever be the same. _

Parked on the side of the high way

Pain pouring from out in streams

Sorrows drowned in bad decisions

Memories buried beneath months of mistakes

_Everything is different now_

Isolation, a desperate need to hide

How does anyone ever survive this?

This was meant to be forever

Now, there is only a vague remembering__

_This is for the best _

Healing...

They were snarling tigers

Fire that burns through the thickest forest.

The type that would ruin a life without ever stopping to see whose life they were ruining.

There was no telling if they did it on purpose

Or if it was in their nature to be so disastrous.

A hurricane ripping through a city, uprooting everything in its path.

It’s something that cant be escaped

The inherent need to destroy

Tr...

Black asphalt and cars

There is one that never moves

Countless untold lives

Gray, white, and dirty

He’s staring with hungry eyes

The parking lot cat

Lights that don’t turn off

Illuminate the night sky

Remi...

It’s electrifying

And invigorating

And terrifying.

It starts with nights spent staring at the stars

And sharing parts of ourselves we thought would always just be ours.

Slowly, so slowly, it builds

Something too big for words

Then suddenly its everything, all at once you know. You’re sure.

You’re tumbling, falling so fast that nothing matters except this

Feeling. This

Hand in yours,

Keeping ...

**Do you think the sun gets lonely up there?**

_I think it has to. _

**Why?**

_Wouldn’t you? Spending your entire life giving all of your warmth, your brightness, to organisms you can never meet without burning them up just like Icarus?_

**That’s rather sad. **

_It is, but I think there’s a certain beauty to it. _

**How could there be?**

_Think about it, it’s a fundamental part of being ali...

The first to break my heart was my mother.

A mother is meant to soothe and hold you

Not to glare and scold you.

She is meant to love you through it all.

Not to tell you that it’s your fault.

And when you confide in her, she’s meant to believe you.

What she’s never supposed to do is leave you.

Yes my mother was the first to let me down, the first to break my heart.

And if you can’t trust...

1. The way a child loves the friend they made on the playground-instantly and without hesitation.

2. Like a dog loves the one who raised him from a puppy-fiercely protective and loyal.

3. As one loves a friend they’ve known since grade school- endlessly and abundantly.

4. As a schoolgirl loves her very first crush- tentatively and oh so hopefully.

5. The way a man loves his first love- gently ...

Tangled together like rope,

Your head resting on my arm and my fingers in your hair

Lying on the cold wooden deck.

I can still close my eyes and see you there.

The circles you rubbed on my wrist,

I can still feel your touch lingering on my skin.

And if I weren’t so damn proud

I think I could almost just give in.

No one could ever compare to you

There’s no chance that I could ever love another...
