there have always been words just beneath my skin, haphazard sentences stitched into my veins in ways that never truly made sense until you now they curl around my wrist in secrets whispered at 3am by sleepy lips they wind through my fingers and drip into being, trailing each gesture their every letter shimmers in the air around me encasing me with the glint in your eyes as we smile in the dark at things only we two know they snake across my chest till they twine into my heart and engrave it with the only words I have ever needed I love you they say it with such fervour that it knocks me off my feet, all the force of a hurricane stam

Each night he watched her, her gentle silver glow kissing the edges of the world as he padded through the shadows on silent paws He saw the way she hid her face, hiding from her own loneliness, her melancholy heart shrinking from the world below, for who could love her, cold and distant as she was His heart broke for her Each night he climbed the mountain, a silver streak in the darkness, a lone figure in the stillness until he reached the top, where he could sit with her and slowly coax her from herself He would sing to her of the summer winds as they brushed through his fur, or the feel of spring snowmelt cold again his muzzle He would

You and I, there's so very much more but you took all my words, when all I really wanted to do was say them and now I am left here, standing on the edge of this swirling galaxy the glitter of them so thick I could scoop them up between my fingers All these constellations look like you like the curve at the edges of your mouth, the shadows in the ridges of your nose that little crinkle beside your eyes that lets me know you're happy to see me you've destroyed me you know I was perfectly fine drowning in my dark little ocean then you came the lantern in the lifeboat with soft fingertips that brushed the sea salt from my lips an

Because's she's my sister I stood on her heels because I was   always a little too eager to follow her footsteps I had shoulders to stand on when the world made me feel too small I had smiles to give me courage when I was afraid I had fingers to dry my eyes when they were filled with tears I had laughter and secrets and fights and memories and dreams I had friendship and love and all the world had to offer All because she's my sister

If only I could dream Create visions so enticing and Alluring of a world so New, undiscovered, unexplored Teaming with all the possibility that never was Sweet ecstasy, escape Lured to a realm unknown Ever to wander and create, Explore, express, engage Please, just one wild dream beneath closed lids and peace

I am not a pretty girl, My eyes are too far apart and crinkled at the corners and no matter what they always have the most peculiar shade of purple under them Even so they see the most beautiful things, the pale pinks and subtle golds that rise each morning with the sun, the soft blush of wind kissed cheeks on chilly autumn days and the sparkle of a thousand stars reflected in a rivers slow waters I am not a pretty girl, My cheeks are sallow and my nose is too large and always seems to be just a little bit too pink Even so they sense the most beautiful things, the touch of a mothers kiss lightly saying goodnight and sweet dreams, the war

Little scrap of broken heart found lying on the bathroom floor I left it there without a second glance as I made myself shower for another day, the water so hot it leaves beautiful red scorch marks across my back, so hot it almost, just almost, wakes me from my fog Little scrap of broken soul found lying by the dressing room mirror I left it there without a second glance as I painted on the doll face you expect to see, a little blush and lipstick to fake a happy smile, bright eyeshadow to fake a twinkle in a dull eye, maybe they won't notice I'm crying without tears Little scrap of broken mind found tucked under a messy bed I left it th

Listen! I am screaming, HELP! And yet you hear I'm fine I repeat it like so many little birds, squawking back what you expect to hear Look! See me, the bruises and tears and little red cuts And yet you're blind I smile and paint myself, no one sees the thorns if the flower is pretty enough I am drowning, sometimes I get so sad that I can't breathe And how am I meant to tell you about my demons if they are sitting on my lungs You don't care anyway no one does, but that's okay Me and these monsters, well, I guess we'll keep dancing

I am made of words and burnt out stars and all the pieces you left in the wake of your destruction there are bits of me strewn across the ceiling like those faded glowing stars you said were our very own universe you lied you see, our universe was far too big to ever be held up by double sided tape and wishful thinking I guess that's why it destroyed me so, your burnt out stars left me trapped here in the pale greenish glow with all these words racing through my blood leaving scars I wish you could see You would know how to heal me, you would know how to find all the pieces I lost when our universe collapsed you would hear all the wo
