I'm a Little Nervous
I'm a little nervous.
My heart is pounding
And my fingers....might be a little more than a little sweaty
But you'll have to ignore that.
My limbs feel weak--
To be honest it's a miracle I'm even able to stand.
My voice is just a tad shaky...
But i hope it's still obnoxiously loud,
And i hope you can still understand me.
A voice in the back of my head
That likes the attention very much
Tells me 'relax! God dammit don't ruin this for me!'
So i take a deep breath.
....maybe two.
I feel like i can go on again.
And suddenly
"INTERRUPTION"
And all eyes turn to look at...you.
And how do you feel?
"Indignant"
Indignant?
"And profound."
And why i
Won't you tell me sweet words,
whisper in my ear
-like a secret only we know-
with that voice laces with
honey and sugar and candy?
Won't you hold me to your chest,
engulf me in your scent,
take me away and hold me just
a little tighter,
until the feeling lingers when we have to part?
Let me feel the leftovers of how
sweet on me you are,
make me remember you every time I smile.
Make me linger a bit when I'm
outside your door.
Won't you call my name?
Tell me not to leave,
hold my hand just a little longer,
a little tighter,
lovingly, softly, fleeting,
like our meetings in the twilight moon.
Won't you tell me sweet words,
whisper in my
It hurts.
It rips and scratches at the hairs of my skin
screeches in my ears
nips at my cheeks and
grabs me by the heart.
It claws at the cavity in the back of my head
echoing through my veins
bloody at my fingertips
smokey
glazed over
dark like night in the eyes
dry lips that pick at your insecurities
clammy hands
sweat dripping down the nape of my neck
a voice that traps itself deep
at the bottom of my throat
trying desperately to escape
leaking quietly in my chest
dissolving into the poison at the
pit of my s
Broken hearted
but silent in cracking
a dull kind of pain that
heats up in my brain.
It itches but it's hard to reach.
It's close but too far to feel.
It hurts but it's long to heal,
it's twisted but it's inflexible--
too stiff to change.
A path that walks itself,
straight in perspective--
as forward is the only way to go--
but crooked in nature
and winding to say the least.
Indoor voice,
level of a whisper
too jarring to ignore.
Like when you peek through
the window and you can't hear a thing but the girl
who forgot to close her curtains
can't be forgotten.
Aching,
creaking,
but oiling it won't be enough.

Untitled, after all
I think about the times we were together, and a lot of memories mash up. Sometimes, it hits me so suddenly I get overwhelmed and have to stop what I'm doing for about 10 seconds just to catch up with reality, and when I finally do I just laugh because I know she'd tell me I was thinking too much.
If you asked me who she was, the most I could conjure up was her laugh, which was weird because if I had a machine that relayed my thoughts like an mp3, there probably wouldn't be a sound. To say I don't remember was wrong, because I remember it, but even if I had some kind of way to replicate it, I wouldn't be able to remember the sound. It's somet
It wasn't that hard to comprehend.
One day it just wasn't there anymore, the love.
And a part of her wanted to stop it, desperately,
but nothing can really win against that constant, nagging doubt.
A doubt that rests itself at the bottom corner of your heart, echoing deep inside you.
Tugging at things that numb the feeling at the tips of your fingers
and the space behind your ears.
And the air just seems a little bit colder.
But she didn't cry.
She wanted to,
but she didn't.
Because it wasnt that hard to comprehend.
She just didn't want to.

A Romance Like That
You want a romance like that,
but you won't even give it a chance:
you'll push it away,
because you know that you're not ready for it
and no matter how much you want to be,
you aren't,
and it scares you to bits.
Because even though a little wear and tear never killed anybody,
it doesn't mean it didnt hurt.
And even though it's no pain no gain,
sometimes the gain isn't really worth it in your eyes.
And it's just that you're so scared,
the particles on your skin start to squirm,
pricking at a lot of things like your self confidence and worth.
And you want a romance like that,
but you wont even give it a chance.
Because you know that no matte
I claim that I am a poet.
I claim that I am a creator
a stringer of words
a thread that sews poetry.
In my world,
I claim that I am glory.
I am famous,
I am known.
I claim that in my world,
I am past,
present,
and future.
I claim that I am here,
I claim that I am an artist,
that draws directly into your brain,
because a word weighs differently
when you're a different person from me.
I claim that my life is a musical,
because it sings to me,
and does a little dance number.
I claim that I am a poet.
And I tell you now,
these claims will be be filed
When I turned to look to you
you were crying.
And your face was a little red,
and I might've seen some snot,
and it wasn't like in the movies where it's just
one stream of tears.
There were so many streams and
there were so many tears
staining the cheeks of your face
and you were desperately trying to wipe it off;
wipe it all away,
but the hurt was still there
and your lips were puckered--
sometimes you'd show your teeth when you were
clenching them so hard--
unclenching them to breathe.
Because you were trying so hard to just
not make a sound,
when I knew you wanted to just
scream and scream and
the crying was getting to you
and your

It's just a little heartbreak.
It's just a little heartbreak.
The kind that sort of cracks into you
and the little crumbly parts are gone,
but the rest of you is still
mostly there,
I guess.
I mean when you look at your hand
you can see a lot of lines.
So many lines,
you really have to wonder how these all came about.
And then you think about it
and your skin is just like that from
a lot of factors:
your hand moving around so much,
from holding
and punching
and hitting
and smoothing
and twisting
and turning
and patting
and petting
and writing
and painting
and feeling
just touching
and just so many things that you do with your hands.
And they're lots of lines,
