A Small Piece of Me - March 18, 2011
Trying to make sense of the beauty within all the noise.
What seems to be lasting is never eternal.
Feeling like the dirty little swan in pursuit of the game.
Nothing really matters as it all looks the same.
What difference does it really make, as I open my eyes to another new day.
My voice...

The Girl and the Ocean - March 17, 2011
as she gently walks into the ocean, she feels the sand rushing through her toes, almost as if it had somewhere to go.
she feels the millions of particles colliding so slightly together she will never know they existed.
she feels the tide's attempt to claim her, as the ocean pulls at her feet....

Electric Cities (continuation)- March 16, 2011
My life's gone cold but you bring me warmth
We will carry on through the coming storm
The windows of your car grow hazy now
Your hair's grown long since we left this town
and your smile's still as beautiful as it was,
my heart still stops whenever you pause,
your eyes still as blue as the creek...

Pain is Not the Answer (Let Me Go, Set Me Free) - March 14, 2011
I’m looking so far out.
(In, out, up , down)
So far up, so far down.
(This way, that way, any damn way)
I can’t see past the blinding light.
(The light that’s so bright)
It’s hard to find a simple path.
(All of them have broken me)
I’m falling into shards of glass.
(See my fury, feel my...

Angry Rain - March 12, 2011
The hard rain splits the air as it hits the ground like a rifle shot.
It soaks the ground like the blood of its victim though the barrels hot.
Storms seem angry as lighting flashes and thunder rolls.
The lighting splits the sky once again and there is dramatic pause as the thunder stalls.
The...

In Between - March 12, 2011
I'm just a teen...
Stuck in between.
Line after line.
Water before wine.
Come and then go.
Love, but don't show.
Can't budge,
Feet stuck in sludge.
Help me.

Is This A Dream? - March 4, 2011
The kisses on my cheek,
Your hand pushing back my hair,
Your lips so sweet,
Your words making me lose air.
You stole my heart,
You stole the key,
Now I'm left to wonder,
Is this a dream?
You're all I want,
You're the only guy for me,
But when we part,
I wish someone would pinch me.
But if we are...

Dear to me - March 1, 2011
This is it, this is the one, why is it here
in this place. Wrapped in a bow creased with stain
the last letter he'd sent to me, he'd left my school,
that boy was moving away from me, told me
The letter, leave you a letter before I'm gone. I'll hide it for you in the tallest rosebush you can't...

Mail - March 1, 2011
Mail
Such a simple thing no one thinks about
Insignificant
Ordinary
Bills
Magazines
I hate the mail
I hate the sound of the mail truck driving up my driveway
I hate the feeling, scent, and everything about those plain white envelopes
I use to love the mail
I use to love the sound of the truck and...
