I was your shadow...the silence between usall that we could ever know.You had moved through me long agorepairing the cracks in my bonesmade manifest with winter’s grasp.I never knew they were there;your patient nature discovered them.I was your shadow,born as the sky’s flame died;as we walked under the streetlamps,my form was living for yours...Any heartbeat that was palpatedas time brought me to lifewas never acknowledge...

I dream about the girl that makes me smile all the timeThe one who makes me laugh like it’s second natureThis girl takes me in her arms and makes me feel at homeShe is music to me in every meaning of the wordHer silliness lures me in, but it’s her softness that has trapped meThe softest touches we share, unlock each other’s heartsI hold her close so she knows she’s never aloneThis same girl that makes me happy, is also th...

This is where my heart standsAt a crossroadsBetween loving you and moving onYour feelings for herAs strong as my feelings for youI know I can’t have youI sometimes hate myself for loving youI watch you hold onto your dreamsBut why can’t your dreams be meMy selfish thoughts driving me crazyMy feelings get between usBecause I let themI should give upMove onLeave you aloneI turn around to walk awayWanting to be done with thi...

Standing still, staring at youYou return my stareYour gaze winding up my mechanical heartMy heart creaks to lifeSlowly turning into a steady beatTick-tick, tick-tick, tick-tickNo words are spokenBut a soft touch is sharedAs you take my hand in yoursMy limbs stiff as I follow youUnsure how to be around youBut a warm feeling washes through meYou lead me to feelings I’ve never feltThis mechanical heart beating fasterI feel m...

For the previous year, the war had seemed so distant. It was just something you hear on the wireless, or watched at the picture house. For the most part life carried on as normal, but slowly things were changing.  Besides the blackouts and barrage balloons, the first real change that I noticed was the lack of wolf whistles when I walked past the factory gates. The male workers have been replaced by women, the men having a...

If your body is a vesselfrom which your spirit will live on,then I will love that vesseluntil its spirit's gone. I will worship it and treat itwith the deepest of respectnever taking it for grantedtaking care it's never wrecked. As its captain I won't ground iton a wild and rocky shoreor steer through stormy seaswhere it may fall apart and more. I won't maroon it on an Islandand leave it lost alonefor that would be a sinf...

I blinked my eyes a few times in the morning sun. Last night was still fresh in my mind, every touch, every kiss, it felt like a dream. Joel was much more talented in bed than Ryan had been, but I'm sure he had more practice too, on account of he was the older brother, and Ryan had only been nineteen at the time of the accident. I wasn't comparing them mentally, just enjoyed the more experienced touch.I didn't want to wak...
