The Caffienated Delirium

If love and logic could coexist, it'd be a very dull world.

The Honesty

So I told you the truth the only way I knew how: with my fingertips tracing syllables and symbols on your skin.

The View

Embraced by nature, I catch myself wondering why the Willow is weeping. Maybe it has seen so much sorrow that it doesn't need a reason anymore.

The Bittersweet Torture of Home Videos

What's there left to do when your memories drive you mad? Move forward.

The Battle

I want to know when feigned indifference became a competition: you pretend you can't hear my name in every love song played through your blown out speakers; I pretend I don't miss the staccato rhythm of your heartbeat playing me to sleep. It's a game no one can win.

The Cement Block Shoes

It's dragging me down, the way you hang on every word I say.

Peter Pan Filled Me With False Hope

Let us define war by the number of army men lost to scampering feet and slights of hand, instead of the echoing silence of whole cities. Let us find wealth in sandboxes, not power struggles. Let us find peace in rock-paper-scissors and eenie-meenie-minie-moe, instead of protests and riot shields. Let us define innocence by what we have, instead of what we've lost.

The Costumed Fly

While you were busy weaving your web, you got caught in mine. Never mistake battle scars for wings.

The Truth

Every scar is a secret, a story, an anthem of late nights and fist fights.
Remind me how it feels to be whole.

The Last Resort Reverence

Faith was never one of my strong suits, but today, I'm praying for a change of heart and a change of scenery. All I see is you. 

The Day When Fire, Water, and Earth Destroyed Us All

The Difference Between Art and Attitude

What, you don't lust for your own destruction? How quaint.

The Midnight Marvel

You can't force creativity. Genius is what happens in the quiet times between cigarette breaks. Masterpieces are drawn on the inside covers of novels. Epic poems are penned on napkins and Starbucks receipts. It will find you when you stop searching. Let it come.

The Glimmer of Hope

All they see in you is coal. I'm breaking under the pressure, trying to make you a diamond.

The Sum of Your Hopes

Years ago, I asked you why you thought you were unstoppable. You replied, "Because my greatest dream will always trump my biggest fear." I understand now. Thank you.

The Sunset Vortex

Because there is what I want, what I need, and you.

The Tin Man Complex

The Humboldt Squid has three hearts. I wonder if that makes you feel inferior, considering you don't even have one.

The Maturity Compromise of 1836

I am sick of paying the price for your fear.

Let's Make This The Best Snowpocalypse Ever

We can build an igloo, only big enough for the two of us. We can keep out the ice falling from the sky and the outsiders' mouths. We can keep each other warm while the whole world goes mad.

I Was Never A Fan of Tragedies

From the depths of hell,
you attempted to save me.
If you'll be my Orpheus,
I'll be your Eurydice.
But this time, my love,
no matter how much you yearn,
trust in me, just once,
and do not dare turn.

I need you to understand something...I love you. I love

The Attempts Always Failed

I'm not a fire fighter. I'm not a police officer. I'm not a psychologist. I'm not an angel. I'm not the Messiah. I'm not a superhero. I wear no cape, mask, or uniform. I'm just a human. I can try until I take my final breath, but the fact remains: I can't save you from yourself. No one can, but you.

The Loss

I tried so hard to find you that I lost myself. I can't let that happen again. I'm sorry.
