For Izik

Nothing can console me like a dose of you.



I came into this with a broken heart and shattered expectations. A young girl on the verge of everything, reduced to shameful. The soothing echos of your voice fell from the sky...and I stood, reborn.



Flashbacks of waves crashing down on the shores of my life, each one includes you. Sing alongs in the moonlight, I fell in love each time. Drive into the dawn...once more for old times sake.



A song. My song. No one ever made me feel so real before, and the echos return. We were made for eachother. Me on my mountain, and you climbing the highest peak to meet me at the top. I miss you so much it stings sometimes- bring me back.



And still you remain, oceans away; Feeling change circulate in you veins. You are mine and I yours, but they say: If you love something, set it free.

What is this? A rhetorical question that I never intended anyone to answer. It is made up of road trips and tear stained shoulders. It's the ability to look through virgin eyes and feel no pain. It is...someone elses ideal of forever. Let me cry for a minute please.



I can feel it now. The pressure to understand the unknown. The hurt of the unloved and the shadow of the sinner. Sins. It's all I'm made of yet I can taste your grace. Please rain on me in such a way that your wine will leave me lifeless and pure. It all seems like an illusion if you ask me.



You. Where is your understanding? If time is all we have now, you've wasted it on someone else. If I am the thread that locks in memories then I guess you've cut me free. Why then, am I...not free?



Rhetoric. It messes with my head.



Bitter. The taste won't leave me because I know that your intentions are flawed.



Prove me wrong, friend. This song will be sleeping on your doorstep...

Sweet Like Candy

...To my soul

When you care, you care genuinely

She said

It pierced me

Puncturing my flesh

Allowing emotion to drip down my back

Like the juice

From a ripened peach...sweet.

Balance the world on my shoulders

She said

You expose me

Unearthing my fears

Holding my breath long enough to understand

Like a poem

From your soul to mine...deep.
