if the wind
is cutting
you so
cruelly and
if the snow
is tickling
your ears
i think it
might be
fair game
to let the
tears go
and just
let the
wind blow
them away.
when i wake up,
i want a thrill.
i want to have spiders crawling on my bed lamp,
my roof to be gone and the sun in it's place,
to wake up with a sweet boy,
whose name i've forgotten already.
after i die,
i want someone to figure out all the passwords to my accounts,
and post a lovely statement covering my death.
so my online friends won't worry,
or say that i've abandoned them.
when i'm older,
i want someone to know me.
i want someone to find my sites,
eat my words up with their eyes,
i want someone to take so many photos of me,
that i feel pretty,
i want someone to remember what i say,
and repeat it back to me when i'm sad
we spent the night wandering
through the evergreens of wonderland
somehow, you never let go of my hand
succumbing to animal instinct
with one wanton glance
i spent the night flying
intoxication bending the laws of physics
the world won't wake 'til six
we're parallel to the horizon
with our wicked little dance
you spent the night lying
so dependent on hidden looms
i'm reduced to last night's perfume
a mess of triumph and regret
lost my head in this game of chance
now i am spent
the sun burns holes where you touched
fine in the moonlight, now it's too much
in bed at home, i wake up alone
the aftermath always lacks romance
A thousand chattering voices envelop her as she takes her first steps into the cavernous hall. Though the acoustics of the venue permit no reverberation, breathless exhilaration echoes, and waves of excitement wash over her. The floor is sticky with history - years of sweat, tears, blood and alcohol that constitute the earth and atmosphere of this heavenly place. She pushes her way through the crowd, trying to get as close to the front as possible. She watches black-clad workers hauling equipment onto the stage, the effort engraved into their faces, tension captured for a few moments on perspiring foreheads.
As she stands, static in
There comes a time in your life when you have to be strong and my time has come.
You listen to me spill my heart out & it never changes with you.
You say sorry than you act the same but , this time you went to far.
I am not perfect neither are you but , I don't you to be perfect.
I want you to call me beautiful when my hair is in a messy bunn and I have no makeup on.
I want you to stay on the phone with me and argue with me when I say Im fat and you give me the silent treatment.
I want you to stay on the phone and listen to me sing and even though I know I suck , you say it's amazing.
I want you
When your logic forcibly speaks no,
yet your heart is screaming yes,
and their energies collide within your head in such a fashion that it feels like your skull is about to not-so-spontaneously combust,
What do you do?
I find myself staring into long gone eyes,
only to all at once realize:
It's me with no life to fuel me forward.
Eyes drawn tight and dry
constantly trying not to cry.
The light to give me the glow of life
is long gone.
Now the mirror reflects a pale face
with apathetic eyes.
An empty shell, what more?
To be a puppet pulled by stings
attached to the hands of enemies,
that is life now.
In a certain region of Japan there is a tiny forest shrine, up a winding dirt path and nearly hidden in the trees. This shrine is the dwelling place of a much-revered kami, or local deity, and this is its story.
A village once stood at the edge of the forest. In this village lived a man who farmed a small plot of vegetables and flowers to sell for his livelihood. He tended to his plants with the concentration of an ascetic monk, and so few of the other villagers suspected that he was in fact very lonely. His only real company was the sunlight, the rain, and the great numbers of butterflies who came in the springtime to settle on his flower p
