If I could count the ways I love you

Maybe then you’d know

How absolutely heartbroken

I feel each time you go

But then I have to wonder

If you do feel the same

When other people ask of love

You never say my name

I must believe your feelings true

And push away the doubt

Because your warm embrace

I couldn’t live without

So even though it hurts me

I’ll push away that sorrow

And truly I believe

Yo...

My eyes dart across a page

But I don’t see the words.

My body may be here

But in my mind I’m far away

Dancing

Singing

Laughing

Magic flowing from my finger tips

Not worrying about

If I pass or fail....

I love looking at things

And seeing the beauty that may lie beneath.

Sometimes I stare at things so long

That my mother gets worried.

But I just smile at her reassuringly.

She wouldn’t understand.

She doesn’t see things like I do.

She doesn’t see the colors twist and turn

Or the shapes break apart…

And describing it to her

Only makes her worry more.

But that’s ok!

I will just continue enjoying

...

Hopeless.

That’s how I feel.

In this moment I never dreamt would happen…

I fought hard!

Don’t let them say I didn’t.

I’m too tired to fight anymore.

I just hope they run out of energy

Faster than I did....

I can’t get the color right!

I threw the paintbrush back into the jar, splattering red paint around, but I didn’t care. The mess was a small price to pay in this quest of excellence. I looked over at my subject laying on the lounge, staring at me. Was it judgment I saw in her eyes?

How dare she judge me.

I grabbed my paint tray and flung it at her in anger. The thin sheet that clung to her body b...

The sweetest smell surrounds me

And I feel a gentle hand caress my cheek.

I feel warm and loved and cared for

And all I can think is

How I wish this would never end.

But then I wake,

Cold, alone, surrounded by darkness.

I rub the sleep from my eyes and with each movement

The memories of my dream slip away.

Walking through the hallways that were once filled

With the same warmth of my dreams

I try n...

They say time stands still when you first meet your soul mate, your breath catches in your throat and your heart skips a beat. But it wasn’t love that made all the people around me freeze, but fear. I saw him across the street, that same smile on his face I saw so long ago. I couldn’t move, if I did I knew that time would start again and I could not escape. The seconds passed like hours, and as mu...

A gentle breeze caresses me,

But the chill cuts deep.

Not unlike your words…...
