"You walked into my life, expecting everything."
She sighs. She breathes. She's here.
Now, she's here. I don't know for how much longer, if she'll ever say goodbye when she leaves, if she ever does. But she's here. Now.
She's real.
Now, she's real. I don't know if she'll move on, and I don't know why I don't know, but I don't. But she's real. And I'm not.
"Whenever I start to feel..."
"Feel close. Whenever I start to feel close with someone, someone I can relate to, someone I care about..."
Maybe one day she'll pack up all of her things, her hair ties and her faded jeans, worn out memories and knick knacks of times she doesn't remembe
alchemist,
bring your potion to a boil
give unto me a portion
to ponder and plunder
sipping liquid agony
alchemist,
transmute your goods to gold
cold gold, stone gold
to pay off my debts
auctioning solid regret
alchemist,
extract the plague of undeath
from my mind, create an epiphany
of temporary ecstasy
and name it memory
for you, alchemist
i have created something new
split your lips, accept this baptism
red water rapids of crimson tide
you have unleashed upon me
I was fifteen years old when I was murdered.
Photographs of me linger,
geriatric,
detached from their frames.
God, thank God,
for accepting me into your realm
which is not as sweet as
I previously expected.
Without saying a word,
I remember so,
your stiletto eyes
trampling me with such impeccable force.
You were the only person
I could ever confide in,
however,
my own sands of time have run out
you have broken
my hourglass
shattered
i am in disbelief
that i ever
believed in you
immaturity
our forte
now, it's only
yours
you don't
need me like
you told me you
did
when we
were children
you
still are
go on
i've been
replaced
and i couldn't
be more
ecstatic
my cannibalistic mind
eats elation
devours emotion, leaving
my dopamine to dry.
my cannibalistic mind
consumes joviality
gnaws at my conscience, revealing
only the deepest black.
my cannibalistic mind
highly ritualistic
voraciously snatches wonder, joy, metaphysically
leaving numbness to corrode
"Do you think about me?" she says, intuitive looks protruding from her amber eyes. "When you're sleeping, do you dream of me?"
Of course I do and of course she knows. Her rhetorical question pounds in my head, fists of confusion and slandered ideas of what could-have-been attacking my mind.
"Always." I pause and look away, letting her gaze rest against my cheeks, made rosy by the winter wind. "Every second of the day I think of you, from the moment I awaken to the moment I fall asleep, and even in the fathoms of my dreams I feel you warm my soul."
oh, apple
sweet, magnificent sphere of passion
which so gracefully hangs from it's branch of serenity
shine, refract the sun's light
upon my cold metal heart
oh, apple
fall from the tree of elation
strike the wise man on his head and let him ponder
the simple aspects of life
which you instill
oh, apple
with your radiant gleam of red
glistening light to my glistening eyes
show me hope, faith, indifference
for on the devil's land you bloom
fiery
i ask the fiery stars where their friend the moon is
they answer with clouds
endless clouds, spacious clouds
roaming free across the barren sky
lit up by those fiery stars
my friends, the stars
bright
i ask my bright friends, the stars
where the sun has disappeared to
they answer with darkness
bleak, desolate darkness
lit up by those bright stars
my friends, the stars
loving
i ask the loving stars
the caring, loving stars
where i may find salvation in this terrible realm of humanity
they answer with solitude
no longer are they stars, but they each are a star
lighting up the bleak night
my friends, the stars

Soon enough, i'll get out of bed and wash my face.
Soon enough, i'll pack your shirt away where i cant find it.
Soon enough, i will have the strength to remove you from my life.
The saddness of your name lingers all over me.
Smothering me, crushing me.
Soon enough, you'll be a distant memory.
Soon enough you'll be breaking down, wont be breaking me down.
Breaking me down.
Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words.
Keep your words positive because your words be come your actions.
Keep your actions positive because your actions because your actions become your lifestyle.
Keep your lifestyle positive because your lifestyle becomes your destiny.
I close my eyes
and wait
for the sandman
to lay me to this state
breathing shallow
unconscious mind
sleep awaits
i want to cry
my eyes seems to
hate me
my brain in a rampage
my mind wonders off
frolicking madly in deep
thoughts
i just want peace of mind
that i am really deprived
i just want
to rest
not to care
lay my self bare
and fall into the world of delight

breath caught in the throat
erodes the lungs scratches
against the empty caves
left by the ribs the broken
bowl of a shoulder blade
twisted bridge of the neck
that can no longer be crossed
ridges of the spine
a chipped necklace
memories of a kiss embalmed tucked
in the folds of an ear
now there is only this
only this the body

sent away for information on nineteen colleges (who contacted me first ;]) and applied for three jobs.
My life is actually going places, and I couldn't be more ecstatic. I'm terribly excited for the future, and everything that is to come.
