The physical strain of an emotional Demon...

She haunts my body,
The empty cavity that acts as if breathing.
Yet a heart, still beating.

Is it the act of a machine?
For standing alone, it is a dark hole.
Strings, drawn by a puppeteer.

A shadow lurks, and tiptoes, in the shadow I cast alone.
She takes form of my own, and is close enough to capture my breath.
She makes me weak.
Stealing the sweet exhale from my lips, and hugging me tight as I
Try.
To Inhale.
Short.
Gasping.
Breaths.

She teases me with questions, leaving answers unturned.
Health, or Demon?
I know she is attached, and near
But physically?

Breaking down strength,
Until dark dreams, purpose a scare.

Worth

Lost in translation,
It's the truth, the love, the reality.
Taking the worst from the past.
Making it applicable.
When reality is better than the past.
The future is bright,
and the love is true.

Teach yourself to breathe, child.
Because you are just that.
A fragile child, in the body of a woman.
Still seeking acceptance, love and eternal self.

Focus on yourself.
You are beautiful,
You are strong,
You are a lover, not a fighter,
so stop wasting your strength fighting for no reason..
This life is YOURS
Explore the world.
You are young once.

And She...
She will love you until the end.
Because, when you are happy, she is happy.
And when she is happy you are happy.
So be happy in all that you do, and at the end of each day,
You BOTH will be waiting for eachother.

Whether it be a kiss, making love, or a simple phone call through the miles.
Love is worth it,
But never forget,
That LIFE is worth Living!

Singers.

To sing.
 To laugh.
To love.
To reminicse.

Blessed

As I lay here,
Naked and nuzzled up in the warmth of a blanket that your scent lingers on,
I think.
I remind myself that I am blessed, that I am whole with you, and that you
are my One and Only.
The bed feels bigger, the walls are caving in-
yet I do not shake.
I don't shake because I know, you will return.
I know that no matter the distance, the miles, or the time-
We are one.

Our travels may cross paths, but in the end-
You will come home.
The the warmth of my arms, the beating of my heart.

This heart hibernates while you are gone,
My body goes into Auto Pilot,
yet the mind races and races.

I am blessed.
I am blessed for your love, and your efforts to make our life something grand.
I am blessed for the things that I have, and the everyday things I take for granted.
I am blessed each morning that I wake up next to you, and I am blessed when you are gone, because I
know that you are doing this for us.

I shall close these eyes soon, and
drift to a land of Windmills and Waterfalls
like I do each time.
Let's meet.
Underneath the waterfall this time,
close to the edge so our faces get wet, as we cry tears of joy
for being reunited.

I am blessed.

"You" are Several.

How are you?
I'm fine.
I think about you from time to time.
You may be here, you may be there.
But one day, let's be real
You diminished in thin air.

I feel your presence while I'm in the hardest
of places.
I hear your whispers in my sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
Although I taint it with my drugs,
my life for once is more than dull.

But empty is my heart right now,
Our home is echoing- for somehow.

I realize that this letter drags,
but there's more than one I'm screaming to.

I count the stars, and pick them out of the sky.
Put them in a jar, that my tears collect in.

Colored Wishes.

Numbing, beautiful, colors.
They creep into the room as my body relaxes.
Addicted to the self pity,
addicted to the beautiful imperfection,
addicted to being human.
Perfection is expected in this life I live,
so I escape.
Rarely,
but deeply.
It's so surreal- yet makes time fly faster than a jet.

I whisper in the silence, knowing that you are listening.
Knowing that you are there.
And I just wish.

Settles in.

Pop
Pop
Pop.
Sip.
Sip.
Swallow.
Settles in.
