like being thrown out of a plane with no strings, no chute or left stranded in a maze without a map or a route catapulted into a state in which I haven’t any clue that’s how it felt when I fell in love with you.

The tender glow of sunlight broke through the city air Massaging tired shoulders, wounding with its glare Words dealt by a stranger, given with a gentle heart Not knowing that they struck the mind like a target by a dart.

Wait three days to call, or else you’ll break the rules. Never admit that you’re intrigued; honesty’s for fools. Want to tell her you’re in love? Don’t be silly, it’s too quick Don’t you know that love’s a game; a complex riddle, practiced trick?

He had hair a shade of auburn that looked like fire in the sun Blue eyes as cold as ice; a single stare enough to stun. My blood surged with every touch, skin blushing with burning heat Now this empty bed feels frigid; unignited, incomplete.

Blood disappears with soap and water, gone without a trace Tears wiped away in seconds to leave a clean, unblemished face Every bruise you left healed over, every scar that grazed my skin But there’s one wound that’s still open; I’m still bleeding from within.

Is good and kind. It keeps you up when you are down and lifts your spirits from the ground. The last time I drank it, the morning was rough. I began to think maybe I had had enough. While the taste can be good, in the morning I’d like to wear a hood.

They were like magic. The words woven around, touching each of our hearts and minds. I believed I could touch stars when he spoke; and swim across the sea to the untouchable lands. A friend told me he felt as if he could fly when the stories were spoken, woven like a spiders web in circles. All making us believe in the impossible but it was impossible. In those moments we were anything, anyone we wanted to be. But now, with the bars slamming shut I gripped the iron bars and stared out. Knowing that stories were just stories and everything was untouchable.

Read between the lines; play charades, learn the game Complicating what is simple, turning honesty to shame.

It crept up on me like a spider to prey. Starting from the inside and slowly coming forth until I was engulfed. Burning. Shining. Scorching. I was the sun. The light at the end of a dark tunnel. The halo over angel’s heads. The flames in pits of hell. I was fire. Fire. Fire. Fire. Fire. Lord of the sky. Fire. I was destruction and rebirth. Chaos and harmony. I was untouchable, unbeatable. Immortal. Fire. The fluttering beat of a heart. The inner workings of a mind, the passions that people craved and lived. Fire. Fire. Fire.

It started out with a breath, like all life begins. I gasped and jolted, waking up from a nightmare. I never thought it could end, that horror, but in the end it did and I am all the more thankful for it. I could go to sleep once again without fear of falling into that dark pit. The dark pit that swallowed me whole, attempted to destroy me. But I rose, pulled myself out on my hands and knees and when the sun, the beautiful shining sun, was in my sight again I wept. For I believed that the sun would never grace me again, would never shine down on me and bring joy. But this time it brought strength. Renewed I took the last steps until I was again awake, staring at my white ceiling and under those aqua covers I so adored. A face leaned down to me, one I couldn’t see clearly, and spoke, “And this, gentlemen is an example of the credibility you’ve been waiting for.”

Once great, I was. Whispered praises sounded through the streets. I was the top. They pulled me up like a a god. And a statue I became for their prying eyes, looking and looking for something wrong. Out of place, not quite right. But they’d never know, I willed, because they didn’t truly want to know. Inside I was twisted, all coils and springs. Oil and gases. I was on top, rated number one. But, slowly, ever so slowly, like a water to stone, I fell and became what I tried to hid.

Posted By Carly On 05.03.2013 @ 11:04 pm

I will never be the kind that draws your eyes in the street Never the kind of girl whose mere stare feels like heat Who manages to enchant you even when she’s fast asleep Steals your heart in seconds; now it’s hers to keep.

It came in a whoosh! and I was a goner. Swept away, spiraling downward. This was time, they told me. This long way down to the ancients. Going over centuries and across lands. Empire’s rose and fell into chaos. I saw it all. This is only one timeline, they told me, they’re many others all woven in possibilities of what might have been.

In a place with no sky nor moon or stars. Where the ground was brittle with dips that you could fall forever into. Trees did not exist, nor flowers or grass. Water lapped at the edges, a black and murky color. This place was a dream, a nightmare. And I loved every second of this cold world. A world with no sky, not even stars. Where the ground was brittle with dips that you could slip into and disappear. Where flower nor trees or grass grew because happiness did not exist. Not yet anyway, and maybe not ever. Where the water was black and bitter in its hate. This was my dark place. The place to go when the rest of the world held not hope and disappeared, dissolved into this waste land of sorrows.

Your lips tasted like coffee; I preferred tea. I still catch myself kissing the way you taught me.

Shamed for their color, but when it comes down to flight Crows and doves fly the same; and only one comes in white.

I had your heart in my care, swore to keep it protected From the slightest of threats, it’d remain uninfected. Promised you’d never be broken, but would always stay whole Until I held you so tightly I shattered your soul.

The seed planted itself in the depths of my mind Feeding on my sanity, leaving madness behind Tendrils snake down my limbs like steel chains You’ve cultivated a poison, a virus in my veins.

The day engages me enough to fight the thoughts I know are true: The affections, the desires that my heart still has for you But the distractions of the world last me only through the light Alone in the quiet, I am conquered by the night.

You always hear stories about falling in love at first sight A fateful morning in a cafe; one glance and it felt right. I’m not the type to draw intrigue; looks as generic as can be And yet somehow he fell in love with one as plain as me.

She begs to be heard yet she never makes a sound Spends her days as a wanderer but still wants to be found Craves to be extraordinary but doesn’t deny that she is plain Hides under umbrellas when she claims she loves the rain.

She traded her ability to write for a good night’s sleep Chose not to feel over the potential to weep Thoughts smothered and buried in the back of her mind Her eyes saw the world, but her heart became blind.

I’ll be your wings to keep your heart in the skies Make sure you keep dreaming, be the highest of highs When I get lost in the clouds, you’ll remind me what’s real And you’ll be my anchor; a wonderful deal.

Late night road trips away from everyone we know Is it possible to be lost when you have nowhere to go? We’ll watch the stars until they vanish, then chase after the sun A journey with no finish line, a race already won.

This war in my mind is exhausting; what I feel against what I know It’s time I learned the difference between giving up and letting go.

We clung to our delusions, our hopes of what we were Praying that we found something real in this blur But it’s different to love than to want to be kissed; Is it true that you miss me, or do you miss being missed?

My hands smudge the ink of the words that they write Trace your smile on photos until they fade from sight They slowly destroy what they try to embrace A Midas touch of destruction; what I love, I erase.

We’ve mastered the skill of fabrication, learned to hide behind deceptions We build more walls instead of bridges, trying to imprison our affections But you’ve crept beyond my barriers; a stealthy Trojan horse Infiltrating my every dream, striking my heart at the source.

Bitter shots of vodka, poured right to the brims Filling empty sheets with the tangle of bare limbs Choose your door to paradise: pick your poison, maybe five Anything to remind you how it feels to be alive.

Extraordinarily ordinary; nothing remarkable around and yet you still hold me like a lost treasure you have found.
