Literature Text

You brought me into this world
And you were taken away at seven
I wish I could have known you better
I know we will meet in heaven

There are so many questions I missed asking over the years
So many things I have kept to myself
So many times I have broken down in tears
Longing to see you again

Chorus
May you rest in peace
And live inside me
So I can feel your presence
For eternity
May you rest in peace

I feel you around me
Watching over me
Protecting me
I am hoping to find a safe place to be

This world is a wreck
Even with you to guide me
I lose the sight of you on this long trek
And eventually finding you by remembering
Who I am......

May you rest in peace
And live inside me
So I can feel your presence
For eternity
May you rest in peace

You are in me
We are one
I just have to know who I am supposed to be
What I have done

Where am I to go
Who am I to be
Your spirit is around me
Lift me up and set me free

May you rest in peace
And live inside me
So I can feel your presence
For eternity
May you rest in peace

in the quiet.

--- i. do you love? shhh. enough to paddle rafts across atlantic oceans to brush fingers. don't speak. for this, I forsake my own centuries, chronologically absent of you. I was there dragging pyramids from sand; I was there. (if love spans time, non-linear, then I was a drop of salt in your ocean when the world was new. I was there for the celebrated supernova; we were born of wrought iron and fireworks and heat.) -and it was

she thinks one day the wishes will crawl all over her bed and creep down the curls of her hair, all the little thoughts that tumble around in her mind maybe if she pulls petals off enough flowers or maybe if she replays the scenes over in her head for long enough, when she asks him why he loves her, he'll answer with something poetic that'll make her heart race (because it's hard to paint about something when all they do is smile and kiss your fingers) while her paints dry on a chaotic pallet and she stares at an empty canvas, she thinks maybe if she goes through the whole stupid lovesmelovesmenot game one more time, picks out th

Just A Dream

12/08/08 I don't want to live the life of a soap opera, But I am. I would gladly trade it all for that first love I had, If only it's more probable than a dream. Just so I could put my chin on your shoulder while you read, To kiss the bottom of your neck before you sigh. Just so I could bury my nose into your hair, The way you bury yourself into my chest. Just to whisper my thoughts in your ears, As if it's not only just a dream.

I'd say you remind me of a flower but to do so would be an injustice when I pick flowers, they die- you've only shown me how to live.

Je t'aime

There is firewood where my bones should be, and wires in my veins pumping electricity and everytime we talk my heart heats up and I've never felt a flame this warm.

Ich bin

Ich bin, der kommt, ich bin, der geht, ich bin, der immer schon hier war. Ich bin, der wacht, ich bin, der spricht. Ich bin der Hauch vom letzten Jahr. Ich bin die Nacht und bin die Früh. Ich bin der Mond (die Sonne nie). Ich bin das Wort, ich bin das Buch, ich bin, der all die Worte sucht, bin der Fürimmer, bin der Moment und der die Zeit manchmal verpennt. Aber ich bin. Ich bin der, alles, der nirgendwo zu Tod betrübt und liebesfroh. Ich bin, der kommt, ich bin, der geht, ich bin, der immer bei dir war: Ich bin der Wind in deinem Haar.

dear self,

1. tomorrow is not worth waiting for. sure, there will be sunshine (with a slight chance of rain) and sure, some kid will be smiling, and yes, life is still moving on, but it's not like anyone cares. 2. you just want someone to love you, misery and tears and all. maybe you could spend saturdays curled up under the covers, memorizing the patterns of breathing. maybe you could count the seconds but the problem is that there would never be enough, the problem is that there's nothing there to love. 3. no one is listening. 4. i'd write you a letter, but you'd never read it. i'm stuck screaming into my own heart, wonderin

confessions of lostwithoutyou.

i'm not a liar. but i never told you that you always looked best in black. i liked how your skin would fade to a paler shade of perfection and your perfect teeth would glint a little brighter. and i could pretend for an evening that you were my black and white dream come true. and with you there would be no shades of inbetweens and no grays for us to get lost in. i never told you but it's true.   + i was never able to tell you, but i hate the way you cook your 'specialty' eggs. you always laughed over your shoulder and told me that they are the best food i’ll ever eat, that i was blessed to get the chance to taste them melt

i told you that i liked boys who smoked cigarettes, because then i knew that they needed something. i told you that i liked roses without the thorns, because then they wouldnt hurt so much when they got picked. i told you that i liked it when you held my hands because i didnt feel quite so lonely, not quite. i told you that i'd love you 'til the stars exploded and the clouds devoured us- and you said nothing. you said nothing. *** (here's a little history.) in vietnam people hurt other people. people burned themselves- (i wish i was that brave.) they threw chemicals and hid in the ground and laughed when the others cried. its

I can imagine it being sung with an acoustic guitar or just read aloud as a poem.
Beautiful, and I really mean it. You really pour your heart out in your song lyrics. I admire that.
