just thinkin...
we'll be apart for a couple days..maybe itll do some good. i still cant
help but get angry about yalls relationship even tho it means nothin...
it still hurts to think about it. one day ill be cool about it and we can
all hang out and get along.
...i feel so free today.
everything i want is possible.
...i feel pretty for the first time in a long time...i like bein around total
strangers that ill never see again. it gives me this freedom to be exactly
who i am. no one can judge me...i like that...feeling different and
comfortable with who i am. i wish i could be that way at home.
carefree, pretty, free, and happy all the time.
i wish u were here with me. i could see who u really are and u could
meet the real me. maybe thats why we fight so much?
we are both so totally FAKE...that we think we have to pretend to be
different so that we can be together.
we could both sit in this swing
...and watch the water fountain in the lake.
we could laugh about our past
live the present
and wonder about the future.
we could hold hands and everything would be alrite.
we could be the old couple...
sittin on the front porch
wavin at the cars that pass by(or the ones that dont)
it would jus be beautiful.
jus to have u here with me.
...i saw a rainbow today. it made me smile. it brightened my day in more ways
than one. ive never seen one so beautiful. thats such a pretty word. if i have a
daughter i think i will name her.....beautiful.

in the distant rumble...
i can hear your voice.
in the blue darkness...
i can see your face.
with every gust of wind...
i can feel your sweet embrace.
with every wonderin foostep...
you get closer.
in every ripple of the dark water...
i see us together.
in every sprinkle of the fountain...
i feel your love.
i long to be back the way we used to be.

i hate the way u think you are perfect
nothing is ever wrong.
wut is it that makes you so right?
you criticize me...
i take it!
u once again-place the blame on me...
i take it!
we usually get along...
except the occasional fights
which u always seem to be joking about.
the one time i pointed out your faults.
you got pissed off
i didnt think you could take it
i guess thats two...
instead of one
you taught me to talk out my problems
now u run away.
what is it with you
and reality?
i dont think youve ever met.
you seem to live the happy life
of the 12 yr old that youre not!

we talked.
shed tears...
broke hearts...
why her?
anyone but her.
shes not like you
-or ME!
i hate this hurt
i've never experienced it
so much pain
i guess it comes along with the happiness...
that we dont have anymore.
i want u back so bad
it'll never happen
we'll never be the same,
the same ole' us again
the us i want so badly,
i would do anything for
how could u possibly be going on without me?
its impossible for me to get it through my head.
i cant go on without you.

cleanse me
the rain outside,
outside the window,
the window in front of me,
me...the REAL one.
the rain outside,
outside where its cold,
cold-hearted you,
you left me,
me, the old one.
the rain outside,
outside, i wish i were there,
there, for it to clean me,
me, the new one.
the rain outside,
outside, it washes and cleans,
cleans, i wish it would me,
me, the new one...
back to the old one.

broken
i am constantly finding my head in my hands,
the same old napkin soaked with my liquid nightmares.
your face is like a mural on the wall
calling out to me...
those deep, amazing eyes put me in a trance.
your puffy, but juicy and so irresistible lips
something i long to touch...
i couldnt hit the bottom harder if i jumped, but i was pushed by the one
person i least expected to be laughing and walking away when i looked up. i
thought you would be the one to lend me a hand and help heal my heart, but i
guess you can only break and heal the same heart so many times. we had to end
with a break and now i have no one to help me heal...
I have a back door to my heart from where you entered my life. You had a room
in the back where you stayed for a long time. All of a sudden its like you?ve
added on to my "house". You built a hall and front door for an escape,
but...you forgot to close the door.

Hold My Hand
Walking to that special place,
holding hands even.
I wander off for a bit
and when I return to grab your hand,
you pull away.
I just wanted to see what else was out there.
Hold my hand
I wont ever let go.
My love is strong,
but my heart is weak.
Love?
What is it?
A bunch of shit!
It sucks.
I loved you and still do.
The worst kind of love is...
unrequited love.
I?m in denial.
Walking a L O N G and lonely road to DEPRESSION.
I look behind,
but you?re not here.
I?ve restarted my journey numerous times
with hopes that u would come along and lead me a different way.
...still I?m without you.

TIME
sit and listen to the pretty sounds around you.
realize life passes by so fast. dont count the days,
hours, or months even...the seconds go by so fast and
there arent many things that could happen in that second
but its what counts. the little things. you piece together all the
seconds to make up the minutes that you waste every hour,
that you waste every day. it all happens so fast with no
pauses, no stops...go with your instincts, make
yourself happy, have fun. fall in love. love
makes the world go around. brings a smile
to your frown. love can fill up those seconds where
you have nothing to do. love someone and make them
happy too. but NEVER regret anything that happens. it happens
for a reason. bad or good, you learn from it. if you come
out of a situation wrong, take a second to think of the
situation, but dont feel bad. you cant change it, it
was meant to work that way. you cant surround
you life around one second of your whole entire life
that didnt go the way you planned. make something
better out of something bad. but use only a second, dont
waste any more time. it goes by too fast. dont plan things.
let it happen. that way you wont get hurt or let down. save yourself
a second. save yourself a tear. save yourself a meeting with
destruction. take that second to make a new moment
to fill up the rest of your life
