paranoia vs. tolerance



When will I ever be good enough?
What an absurd question.

It isn't about good enough, it's about how much you can take. Take all the shit that they give you and don't forget to hold it in (thats the most important part). I caught them pleasuring themselves furiously over my misery. I let it happen. I let it come to this. The warning signs were there and for fucks sake, I thought I was stronger than them. Today I admit defeat and I cry for the loss of my soul. I will become a drifter, a loner. I'll have no one left to trust but myself: the way I should have lived all along.

Who or what are these soul sucking forces, and who bestowed upon them this undeserved power? They are the ones that can hold you back from living, from loving, from being. They come in many shapes, sizes, colors and all forms of matter. The most deceitful are the beautiful ones. The ones that catch your eye, the ones that seem out of place in a mundane existence. BEWARE! TURN BACK! Oh, but come closer!

Maybe I am sensitive and maybe you won't admit that you are, but you are - I know you are.
Maybe things affect me easier than they affect you, but they affect you - I know they do.

You need me to survive and I am cutting the umbilical cord.

as if you didn't already know..


Lost without the one who made me who I am
How do you explain to someone all they've done for you without inflating their ego with the very air that holds yours in tact?
This is no romantic love, or - not yet. I want to repay you by taking away all that has left you filled with doubt.
It's been years and it's now or never. now or never.
maybe just a little bit longer..

After his words, his thoughts, his existence - I most admire his lips.
The luscious curvature I have come to know so well with out ever coming into contact with.
It isn't solely the aesthetics of his smile that's appealing,
This is where the birth of his thoughts occur.
This is where his laugh explodes.
This is where I want to be.

too close for comfort - part I

She had herself cornered.
"You're a wonderful story teller..." she began, as quickly as she stopped.
"What I'm trying to say is that I believe you. I know it's wrong, with every fiber of my being, to believe you. Even if you are telling the truth, your track record says otherwise." She said, half smiling.
What she wasn't admitting, was that she liked the words that came out of his mouth. Believing them, as is, made her feel that anything was possible. Unfortunately, the words had nothing to stand or fall back on - no structure, no stability. She sometimes imagined them floating in the air, in disarray - trying to piece together their true meaning.
The letters that make the word 'petrified' also make up the word 'free'.
The word 'live' is just the word 'evil' backwards.


She & He. Him & Her. They both knew how to phrase sentences that admit and deny everything at the same time. Sometimes he was controversial just to play devil's advocate. If she was caught off guard by a comment, a joke, an action - you'd think the world screamed "cut!" just so she could seamlessly decide on her comeback.


They both wonder the same thing...

Where is the line?

bad influence



Up, up, away
Got me scared straight
Bring me back down
Face to the ground
I don't want to fly
Not with you by my side

bittersweet



It's your life, it's my time
One of us has to be selfish
We both already know
Who it's going to be
We both already know
It's not going to be me

Your love will be a test
Your heart, just for show
But the littlest things will always remain
With the biggest lies in tow

slowest movement


We're faced with the moment - our lies revealed too late
Nothing but the sensation of breath on the nape of your neck
He's so close, he hears my thoughts. I can tell, I can always tell
His eyes ask questions that I don't have answers to
..Or maybe I do but I can't bare to admit they're true
It's always you - It's always been you

If you want me convinced, then just look - don't stare
Embedded in your tired face are the bed lines that we've shared
And its alright, its alright - its not you i love after all
Its you/your/i/mine/ours/hours
One will never be enough again
One will never be the same
