things die,

they really do.

things end,

they finish,

and not always with the snap and streak of glittering bright light you expect.

things die,

but we have to remember,

things are alive too.

for once in your life, can you do something for me,

can you value yourself,

can you breathe deep and stand straighter, taller and recognize that you are worth something,

that you don’t actually need

someone else

to be you?

so go.

jump off that dock into that lake alone,

drink that tea wrapped in that blanket in the morning alone,

discover paris and london and budapest alone,

scream at the top of your lungs on the top of that mountain alone,

build something important alone,

memorize poetry alone,

save someone alone,

learn alone,

create alone,

live alone,

cry alone,

laugh alone,

alone.

because being alone is not a sin,

it does not mean that you are worthless,

it is simply a state of being

that in fact defines a certain persistence that only the bold have.

in fact, being alone defines a soul that values itself.

so go.

try living

for a change

instead of slowly slowly

dying

falling into depression

simply existing

only thinking of yourself

breathing

try living

it’s really not that difficult

it makes me sad to say, but please, grow up.

Sat, 17 Nov 2012 18:07:16 -0500

i promise

i swear

i vow

to never look back, unless we go there together

to be a home for you

to fight the good fight, side-by-side

to live as one

to continue on in growth and blossoming and shifting and changing

to stay constant too

to let you decide

to follow your lead

to climb only with you and when you desire

to be in rhythm, breathing, footsteps, heartbeats

to forsake what you forsake

and to belong to you

i vow

i swear

i promise

Sat, 17 Nov 2012 17:56:23 -0500

can i just tell you now?

right now?

in the dead of a sleepless night with a pale moon, a swollen sphere hanging in the sky,

in the whispering, golden, tall grasses of summer laying in our laughter spilling from strawberry stained lips and caught in blueberry stained fingers,

in a room,

at a bus stop,

while walking,

standing,

falling,

leaving,

or even on a dance floor sharing in our favorite people’s happiness that blooms and snaps and in so contagious we think we’re in love when we’re really not.

i never liked anyone more than you.

you terrible, wonderful you. it is my entire existence to love you, but sometimes, you frighten me.

Sat, 17 Nov 2012 17:52:07 -0500

you terrible, wonderful you.

it is my entire existence to love you,

but sometimes,

you frighten me.

i want to write the gold-edged lives i cannot live.

i would have spared you all the hurt in the world was i capable.

Thu, 20 Sep 2012 12:49:28 -0400

i understand that it is hard

to crawl out of that space

that space of normal dreams

average thoughts

and a perfect measure of selflessness

and then blow it all away behind you

to shove it down and finally say

this is what i really want

this

and i know that it’s shocking and you think it’s stupid and it’s probably has more than a perfect portion of selfishness

but this is what i want

inside of me

this is the contents of my soul

and i’m tired of living in that space of pretending that

my dreams are normal

my thoughts are average

and i have a perfect measure of selflessness

it’s just not actually me

just choose what makes you happy.

Tue, 07 Aug 2012 17:52:44 -0400

that single solitary isolated portion of time

it only lasts for a half a second maybe even less if not a quarter

but that was when i realized

we need to be together

you could learn to love me he said couldn’t you he said of course she said you can learn to...

Tue, 24 Jul 2012 21:57:54 -0400

you could learn to love me

he said

couldn’t you

he said

of course

she said

you can learn to love anyone if you really set your mind to it

she said

and then there was a pause

but is love really something we should have to learn to do

she said

yes that was what i intended to do say describe to you but see i kind of maybe forgot i do that...

Fri, 20 Jul 2012 01:29:05 -0400

yes

that was what i intended to

say

describe

to you

but see i kind of maybe forgot

i do that sometimes

oftentimes

even the important things

i forget them

a lot

forgive me?

Thu, 05 Jul 2012 11:14:53 -0400

i like the me i am with you

i think it is the me-est me i can ever be

i can only hope you like the you you are with me

i want it to be the you-est you you could ever be

Sat, 23 Jun 2012 14:06:37 -0400

there is something about

being human

and watching another person

in their joy

and the simple fact

that God created us as humans

to share in that joy

only by

seeing

i like people who aren't afraid to be quiet with me.

Sat, 23 Jun 2012 14:05:01 -0400

Sun, 10 Jun 2012 20:02:16 -0400

i want to be a million things for you

i want to be a quiet place

a hope

a turn on your path

a choice

a half

a help

i want to be a sure one

a steady hand

a heart

a capable being

a risk

i want to be a best

a favorite

a hand to hold

a secret spot to hide

a reflection

i want to be a better being

a lover

a worshipper

a composer of all things beautiful

a guide

a safety

a desire

i want to be everything for you

the truth is we are infinitely small.
