About Me

if you want to know about me try talking to me
aside from that here is some beautiful poetry to give you a peek into my mind
.
.
a rivalry goes so deep between me
and this loss of sleep over you
.
two natures beat within my breast
one is foul, one is blessed
the one i love
the one i hate
the one i feed will dominate
.
it's so distracting
always thinking of you
.
tell me am i right to think that there could be nothing better
than making you my bride and slowly growing old together
.
i want so badly to believe
that there is truth
that love is real
and i want life in every word
to the extent that it's absurd
.
we might die from medication but we sure killed all the pain
.
yes i believe in love
yes i'm a dreamer
but i'm not alone
there are more of us than you suspect
and we've got bombs
truth and beauty bombs
.
nod your head if the plans have changed
shake it love if they've stayed the same
smile at me and i will stay
start to cry and i'll go away
just please don't leave me guessing
.
a heart is a fragile thing. that's why we protect them so vigorously, give them away so rarely. some hearts are more fragile than others. purer, somehow. like crystal in a world of glass. even the way they shatter is beautiful.
.
as i sing and sing of awful things, the pleasure that my sadness brings as my fingers press onto the strings you get another clumsy chord
.
my father was there
in a chair by the window
staring so far away
i tried talking
just whispered ...so sorry...so selfish...
he stopped me and said
child i love you regardless
and there is nothing you could do
that would ever change this
i'm not angry, it happened
you just can't do it again
