Can you hear my whispers across the expanse between us?
Do you know you are always with me in some small way?
I see you, naked, but cloaked from most who look upon you
There are broken things inside you
You hide out in the open
but they aren't what make you
They have never broken you in full
Like me, you pick the pieces up and heal
expressing the pain and the grief in a very public way
but, most do not recognize it for what it is
And we move, and we heal and we release
With the help of ears and eyes
So we are whole again
And the ones who broke those places in our hearts
no longer become just ours
They become everyone elses
and it hurts so much less
until it falls away, like a distant memory
of another life, not our own
Naked
What a word
One without a triple x rating
Nothing lascivious here
We spend so much of our time hiding
in layers upon layers of emotional clothing
but, you and i, we stand naked and unashamed before the masses
They just don't always know it
Their depth perception if off
I wish i could share my words with you
whispered in your ear
Like a lovers sweet, secret language
With only you understanding where it comes from within me
You would you know, understand me
I would hear you too
Every word, every breath, every pain
I would brush your tears away
Plant sweet gentle kisses upon your eyes
To heal your suffering
I would draw it out like poison
Easing the bleeding from your open wounds
Until they were gone
Leaving only a faint scar
You live in this place in my heart
Despite having never looking into your eyes
never been close enough to sense you, feeling you in a room
There was a hole there once
A hole i felt, but did not understand what needed to fill it
it was shaped like you, your art, your pain, your heart
its filled now, but, lightly
Longing for something more
Something bounteous
Something with more weight to it
Something real
More you, not just the shadow i have now
You are like a paper doll for me
I want you in my life as flesh and blood
I sit and i sigh and i long for connection
For bond, for friendship, for kinship, for
Something others can not touch or break
What i feel for you is rich with benevolence
Nothing selfish lies within my heart towards you
but you cant see it
Life... Life has stolen that from you and I
Circumstances
I loath that word, that fact
You will never know how i feel
never know me
never see me, never feel me
never look into my blue eyes
Never see how we could relate to one another so sweetly
How we could feed each other in heart and mind.
This grieves me
brings hot, stinging tears falling from my eyes
Staining my cheeks
Because your heart feels alot like mine
Your words nourish and strengthen me in a way i have not felt in so long
I have been ravenous for 15 years now
but, what i have now, is table scraps, keeping starvation away, but leaving me hungry
It is so erroneous the way life has made you impossible to have in my life
For you to know me as well, because i know i could feed you in all the same ways
I know.
You feel like home to me
You are at home with me, if you were to choose
Safe, secure, loved, and understood

Dust
i think of you all the time
so much so, i can almost taste the dust of your flesh in my mouth
from kisses shared on the sly
I know if i have you
you will break me
but the pain is worth the pleasure
because you are something different
you are something beyond
You are the man i asked God to create for me
in every way
in every single blood cell
I ache for your lips
your touch on my flesh
breath on my neck
whispers in my ear
The inability to protest
The total lack of desire to say no
or to be a good girl
That's what you do to me
you make me wanton
in my wanting
I will have you
i will touch you
i will taste you
i will feel your sweet kisses on my lips
and we will shine
we will glow
and you will feel anything beyond what your heart has ever felt before
because i was built for you
and you were built for me
Til then i lay in the dust of alone
the dust of the dark
waiting for you
I can drive away the demons that haunt you
I can drive away your fear
the broken pieces i can mend
I have healing hands
Soothing sweet words
I can ease your soul from your long weary travels
you could finally rest your bones
its hidden within me
You can use my body to ease the pain
i will catch your tears in my hands so they don't dampen the sheets

I will kiss your suffering away
Hide in me all you seek to escape
I will protect you
I will protect you from t he dust that tried to claim you as its own
Dust left from all the others before
Who did not see you
could not see through the facade
I see you.
down to your soul
I know you are real
i know your flaws
And they are beautiful to me
you are beautiful to me.
covered in dust
let me wash you clean

Earth between us
I know all the tricks men play
i know the lies
I know the agendas
I know the head games
the hurt "love" can bring
I know the bravado and swag
I don't see those in you
and it makes me so desirous for you
Wanting you
But you don't see me behind this misty fog
there is so much earth between us right now
all the spinning, and i gain no ground
I am flesh
i am blood
i am bone
i am heart
i am soul
and that is where my beauty lies
all the rest, is just fashion
just temporary
Not the real of any of us
I could love you in so many ways
I know it, i feel it in my heart
I cant say i love you now
You haven't invited me to
I,however, have laid the offer on the table
the choice is yours
So i wait
not knowing
which makes drives me into madness
but, i have to wait
Nothing i can do can make it move forward
or faster
But, you see, there are these chains on my ankles
on my wrists
Holding me down to the earth
in a dark,dreary place
I see the light in your eyes
in my mind
I see your need to save, to protect, the broken
I see the keys to my chains in your hands
I see your soul
So bright, with scars, and with dark places
but still so beautiful
I wait for you to unchain me
hoping you are making the earth between us smaller each day
So i don't have to live in the dark
in the dreary
and you can make me whole

Message in a Bottle
Did you get my message in a bottle?
Did you read it?
Did you take in into your heart?
Did you save it somewhere close?
Did you see i love you?
Because i tried real hard to hide it
because, i have no cause to love you
not yet anyway, not now
I keep hoping a bottle will float back to my shore
From across your lonely sea
A little taste
just to keep me living
I have never wanted someone like i want you, love
This is so new
I have never had anyone i did want
They never came
Never were mine
Not even a little bit
But, you, I can not believe i wont have you in some way
Anyway, whatever way God sees fit
All i know is you fit into my heart
you fill the hole i have had their since my birth
You fit so perfectly.
but, the hole where you belong, its not filled
Only half way
Its the piece of my heart that you own
and always will, love.
always
always
always
because its been yours since before i even knew your name
Its not solid yet, not concrete
Its tissue paper
Holding a place for the real thing
not just the hope, or the promise of it
I don't know why it feels like it will be real
It makes me fear i have lost my mind
but, i know what crazy feels like
I know what denial feels like
and this is not it
All the others before
The ones i wanted
I always felt not good enough for
and felt like i would never have them
like knew somewhere deep inside
But you...
you feel like you are already mine,
like you have a me shaped hole in your heart
You just don't realize i am here and i fill it
I sent my own piece of tissue paper in my message in the bottle
try it on, see if it fits, love
You'd be surprised what kinds of packages good things come in
I know i never expected you, in your beautiful packaging to fill in this hole
I never knew
Until you were given to me
brought to me
in the right time and space
I know i did my best to fuck it up
I always fuck things up
but, i hope my the bottle i sent will give me a fresh start, a new beginning for a new year
now that i am better inside
I was lost, i was broken and i was confused
I knew what i wanted
I just didn't know how to get it
Patience was not my strongest virtue back then
You fit.
I believe i will fit
just look into my eyes
just take my hand
You don't have to knock on the door
its unlocked
come right in
This place has always been yours.
It was created for you.
Its home
Like you are home to me.
Rest your head, and your heart, breath out, and relax.
Did you get my message ina bottle?
Did you see its truth
Did you see me
naked and unashamed before you, love
I gave you all that i am, have ben and will be
In that one tiny bottle.
I am yours for the taking.
I am yours
I was born to be

Damn it
My heart bleeds for you
cries for you
would die for you
Give you anything you asked from me
But you don't see me
don't hear me
don't feel me
never knew me
a tiny piece of me dies each day
that i am here alone
not knowing you
so many walls stand in the way
I have no hope
I am a fool
for you
for wanting
i convince myself we can be
something to each other
Its just a lie i tell myself
My mind is deceiving me
my heart is believing it
And i spend each day thinking of you
and thinking of all the things we could say and do
Its not a question of lust
or a question of delusion
its a the fact i found you
and i want you
and i need you
cant have you
you changed me
made me more me
made me more whole
you have no clue
and i think we could be built for each other
in some weird, special way
and we are missing out
but that sounds like crazy
sometimes even to me
I am not crazy
I am just angst ridden
Passionate in my desire
it lives in my heart
it calls to me
whispering to me when i hear your words and see your face
i am tormented, tortured by knowing it could be good
and knowing the chances of it happening are none
My heart wants what it wants
it tells me its ok to feel like this
then why do i cry in frustration
because i cant get to you
you don't know i exist
Its not right
this hell i feel
i cant kill it
burn it down
make it evaporate
i can shake it off my tail
it follows me everywhere
no matter how mundane the task i am completing
You are there, you are there
it even haunts me in my sleep
you are always with me in some small way
like a talisman
or angel
or devil
just not seen with the eye
but felt inside
You makme me feel more alive
i need you to need me
i need you to want me
You were unexpected
uninvited
crept in like a disease
taking me by suprise
then i begged you to stay
healing me
speaking to me
in so many ways
something new for the experience
something new to me
what i want is the chance to show you something new
a chance to show you me
damn it i cant take this anymore
its driving me mad
i cant touch you
i cant see you
i cant hear you
frustration
temptation
aggravation
longing
wanting
i think i love you in some kind of undefined way
Which is insane to even concieve
Love is for fools
For the lost
For the ones who still have hope
not for me
I am not allowed
I don't want you as all mine
It isn't about that
i don't want to be your lust bunny
unless things took that turn naturally by chance
i just want you in my life
i want to be in your life
i want to hold your hand
and hug you
i want your words and i want to feed you mine.
i want to make art with you
and Run out into the rain
I want to laugh with you
cry with you
sigh with you
walk with you
talk with you
Feed you in your heart and mind
like i desire to be fed by you
no worries
no expectations
no promises
no pain
can you understand where i am coming from
or am i crazy to you
passion makes one move
in emotion
to action
but i cant move with these chains around my ankles
keeping me from you
free me from these chains
let me out of my cage
take me by the hand
and take me away from this prison have made for myself
put salve in the wounds left by the shackles
wash me clean of my pain
talk sweetly to me
relate to me
save me from the strains of this condition
as i dwell in this mortal coil
save me from the want
for that which i can not have
give me your words
give me your eyes
if you'd just look at me and see me
you would find yourself a bit of home
i wear no disguise
i am naked before you
nothing to hide
lead me away from this pain
suffering in a morose refrain
your silence
it hurts me
it burns me
it tears at me
Hot tears burn my cheeks
dampen my shirt
and i grieve
damn it i grieve
you could take it all away so easily
But, you are hurting me
You are breakng me
Down, down, down
i retreat to my bed
lay there and rehearse words i want to fill your ears with
imagine you lay there beside me
just talking
Like friends do
holding my hand
feeling comfort
love
and peace
being with someone like myself
someone just as free
and i dream
Its my escape
My escape from this pain
Pull the knife from my heart
Before it starts to bleed
Or will you just shove it in harder by keeeping away
I am bound for the floor
bloody, bruised, broken and battered
unrequited is hell
no matter what its for,
lover, friend, whatever
I am hurting
i am aching
pain rides me like a horse
my fists beat my flesh
i scream and i cry
i beg God
and i deny
The pain, the pain, the pain
its my own self is by who i have been betrayed

Sweet Taste of Grey
Darkness spreads slowly out through my white wings.
My halo, falls to the ground and shatters.
My skin turns pale.
Black kohl ring my sea blue eyes.
I am neither black, nor white.
Saint, nor sinner.
Good or bad.
right or wrong.
I live in that warm state of gray.
it tastes so sweet on the tongue
My heart is black on the outside.
but, very much alive all the same.
I give it to you.
You can cradle it gently in your hands
or you can crush it.
Leaving me broken.
My wings fractured.
and growing darker.
The black creeps like a disease.
Like a shadow over taking.
because, i want you.
You don't even know i am here.
In the shadows
Waiting for your sweet words
You are always with me.
Creeping my shoulder
to the right
like a good angel
not a devil.
Holding me up
Keeping me alive
Until this disease creeping through me
is gone.

Bump, Bump, Bump.
I stand before you.
naked.
unashamed.
As you paint me with your heart, with your mind, your eyes.
I am art.
I am beauty.
In a flawed body.
You could have my heart.
if you asked.
You could have my mind.
If you looked into my eyes.
You could have my body.
if you whispered the right words into my ear.
Softly kissing my lips,
The line of my neck,
My shoulder.
My flesh beneath your hand.
Slow moving.
gentle finger tips.
of kind hands.
cover me with yourself
Every curve.
every peak.
My arm.
my breast.
my waist.
my hip.
My thigh.
Studying what God has made.
Of me.
For you.
For your pleasure.
My love.
My desire.
My passion.
My heart.
Beating, in time with yours.
Bump.
Bump.
Bump.
I breath in your breath.
your scent.
Your warmth.
I give, i take.
You give, you take.
In the darkness of a strange room.
Something new for you.
For me.
Sighs.
Shudders.
Intensity.
Just us two.
Wanton.
Wanting.
Wanting.
Wanting You.

Small town
I'm just a big girl from a small town
nothing can hold me back
You are a small star in a big town
making a name for yourself
I like you
I like your smile
I like the beauty in your heart
I like your words
As they dance upon my mind
They bring comfort
and wanting
To know you just a little bit
I'd like you to come to my small town Spent a little time
Some talking, go to dinner
Walk down by the river undearneath the moon
learn more about each other
be silly
Do the things friends do
Nothing fancy
That is something i can not offer
But i can give my time to you
To see you as a person
Not as something you are
I am a poor girl
so all i have to give you
is me.

Queen of the Unrequited

It hurts to breath when i think of not having you.
I want you.
You don't know i am even here.
I could be something new for you.
Something you have never experience.
Something you didn't even know you needed, or wanted
You just have to try me on.
See if i fit.
Take my hand.
Don't be afraid.
Don't listen to your eyes.
Listen to your heart, your mind.
But, alas, you don't see me at all.
You can't look at me in the eyes.
Afraid you might like what you see.
Afraid you might like what you find in me.
Afraid you will be a pariah for it.
Afraid of real love and romance.
I am real, i am flable.
I am honest and do not hide.
My agendas are not hidden.
My agenda is simply to love you.
The ache, the hurt of your absence.
Where you have never been to begin with.
It drains me dry.
The tears burn like i am too close to a fire.
The fire in my heart for you.
Burning passion.
Burning desire.
Burning down.
Wanting you.

Love in a Jar
Today I put my love for you on a shelf
Because I can not have you for myself
I took your picture down
Because it made me feel as if my heart could drown
I sealed my love in a jar
Because, i can not have you, you are just to far
Thoughts of you used to make me smile
But, right now I need to put you away for a while
So i can protect my heart
Before the wanting tears me apart
You mean so much to me
Something I know you will never see
You are so out of reach
Sometimes i dream of you and i on a moonlit beach
Walking hand in hand
Digging out toes int he sand
Laying looking at the stars
but, you are just to far
I cant dream of you any more
Because it makes me ache to my core
My love for you sits ona shelf in a jar
Byut still a small piece of you lives in my heart

Truest
My eyes are still blue like ocean waters
My skin the color of white sands
My hair the color of a scarlet rose
My smile is wide and open
My touch is as tender as the night
I will make some man happy one day
With a pure heart
A burning passion for life
My strength will only make him love me more
He will be creative just like me
His kind hands incapable of harm
His kisses will warm me down to my toes
His touch make me quake
I will love him and do the best i can
I will be faithful
I will never say goodbye
When we walk
he will always take my hand
I know this as fact
It burns in my heart like the truest truth.

Broken Doll
Once upon a time
I was broken down
Broken, world weary
Tears came more often than not
I always kept my head down
Couldn't look anyone in the eyes
Like a broken doll
Living in a dusty old doll house
Ina dark attic
Lost and alone
Forgotten and not missed
but, just as the world spins 'round
Being reborn everyday
I was reborn
Recreated
I am back in the light of day
I plan to stay here
My bones are built with steel
My flesh is like rubber
So whatever is thrown at me
Bounces off
and rolls right back to them
My heart dwells inside a gilded cage
Protected from slings and arrows
My mind is bold and strong
No longer a slave to your disease
My feet are firmly planted
I do not bend
I do not break
But, I am still a woman
Soft, gentle and kind
My tender mercies
I am lacking for little in this life
Except a little love and understanding
Things that always seem to be beyond my grasp
I am no longer a broken doll
Not made of porcelain
No longer living in a tattered frilly dress.

Hard
I smile a crooked smile when i think of you
Cynical and Jaded
For what i have seen
Where I have been
My heart still glows
With hope, with love and with desire
Despite the slings, snares, and arrows
I dig the tips out, laugh and throw them away
I continue on
My strength is rock hard
Nothing can penetrate
There have been cracks
but they have healed
men with sledgehammers for hearts
Hands making fists
words spilling poison
i spit them out of me
I continue on and i grow stronger for the experience
They thought they had power over me
It was just temporairly insanity
Lost somewhere in pheremones
And a sense of what i am supposed to be
I can be hard yes
but what lies beneath this breast
is kind, gentle and good
Pure of heart
but this heart is wise
This heart is mine
I am not looking for my prince to rescue me anymore
I am rescuing myself baby
but, you can come along for the ride
keep me company
Share a little mind, a little love
And i will make it worth your time
You wont regret trying me on for size
see if i fit
Just look inside
Inside is the key
For a strong woman can still be soft
A strong woman can still steal through the night like a lover
Without losing herself
but, you could make me better, stronger still
And i could make you more
make YOU better as well
You dont need a key baby,
the doors open,
it is all up to you whether you walk in and say
"honey I'm home" or not.
I am not sitting anxiously waiting
Demure and doe eyed
I am living my life
You'll have to catch up with me
because i am moving fast
but, i still want you along for the trip
Pack a bag, you'll be around a while
because, once you have tasted my strength
placed your hand on my heart
You might want to stick around a while
once you have tasted me

Liquid
I am fluid
I am liquid
I am the ebb and flow
I want something of my own
Something for my self
And Lord knows I am trying
Because try is all i have to give
Hard as it may be not to settle in the warm cozy arms of fear
And except defeat before it even comes
Because, it is safe
I am just a girl
untrained in anything
Untrained in life
But, i am strong
I have legs to stand on that do not break
they do not bend
My grip is sure
I see it, want it and I take it
Defeat is for those who get left behind
Too busy staring at the sidelines for approval
From meaningless masses
Who will just sell you for an easy buck
if you do not meet ridiculous expectations
I am fluid
I am liquid
Pour me out
drink me
I drip down over you
washing you clean of the dirt you feel beneath your salt
And i live
My chest pushes out this breath
to make the words that are my art
You are my future
You will see I am yours
We will knock down walls and small minds
together a force to be reckoned with
because together we are one
Two halves of one whole
seperated at birth
by circumstance
not of our choosing
Together we are family
We are love
together
We are liquid

Broken Wings
My wings have broken in your hands
Feathers at your feet
I handed you the power to break them willingly
My halo is long tarnished
I was never that good to start with
it never fit just right
It never was truly mine.
But, I wore it for you
Then you wore me down
Wore me out
Turned my life upside down
I fell from grace mid-flight
Fell into you
You were not love
You were not passion
You were just solace
I took you underneath my wings
wrapped them around you
kept you safe
I let you use my feathers to dry you tears
I made a soft bed for you
Where you could lie saftley from the harsh light of day
The grabbing hands of the world
But, you broke me anyway.
Filled me with a dull aching pain
that bleeds from time to time
And i linger in a state
a state between what i was and what i will be
waiting for the cure to being broken
to come, mend my wings and make me safe for a change
