Sometimes truth comes from the void between words

All we need, all we've ever wanted, is a place to write where no one can judge us.

Stagehand

When you get everything you've ever wanted, You won't remember me, The boy in the shadows, Applauding quietly As you take your bow, Dancing among the lights I have lit, The scenery I have built, The aura I have crafted To perfectly complement you. You live for this feeling, For the adoration of thousands, And I live for that look on your face.

Clouds begin to lift As she enters my sky.

With one final surge of effort, she stood atop the peak, feet planted where mankind had never stood before. As she tasted the brittle air, she wondered why she had thought this would make the loneliness easier to bear.

With me

Disappear with me. Slip from this world. Travel the stars with me, escape from this pain and let our love become our reality.

I think actors and actresses Must be very sad inside. How can they stand to wear so many faces? I know I can't. Who are they hiding from being?

Replaced

Instead of the kind radiance of your warmth at night,

I’m lulled to sleep by the feverish heat of my wracking sobs.

Where once your lips left sparkles of sensation on my cheeks,

Now the stinging trail of tears burns.

My heart will always belong to you.

It’s just a little heavier now,

And a little lighter.

Clarification

Her name is sweet release, The kind that makes me sigh. Her touch instills my peace And clears the cloudy sky. I feel her skin on mine, The beating of her heart, And as our souls entwine, I feel the future start. I'm sorry you've been hurting, I hate that I'm the cause Of problems we've been skirting Around, like all my flaws. I promise you're my princess, The mistress of my life. I love you, I must confess, My darling, blushing wife.

Figurehead

She was a burning ship in the night,

Beautiful in her terrifying glory

As she sank beneath inky waves.

Stellar

When first we met,

We were meteors hurtling in the night,

Pulled by some unseen force

Into each others’ wake.

We skirted with gravity,

Wavering in and out,

Yet ever drawing closer

To our event horizon.

Then she became my sun,

And my entire galaxy revolved around her,

Planets dim reflections

Of her glory,

And I diminished in the shadow

Of her magnificence.

Slowly,

Slowly,

Her brilliance crept into my shadowy mind,

And now we exist as one,

And the universe revolves

Around

US.

She collected her symptoms like others collect bottle caps, hiding behind her flaws and bemoaned quirks whenever anyone tried to call her pretty.

Death has almost always been easier to glamorize than life for me. I think that's what has kept me going. My insatiable need to make things as difficult as possible for myself, My emotional masochism that echos in every "I'm ok."

Where I was born

I was born on a shower floor

With water crashing around me

Scalding my skin,

Dousing the flames in my hair,

Quenching my thirst for reality.

Every day, every moment,

The cool tiles call to me,

Begging me to release,

To slip comatose into oblivion,

To let cascades of red splash over

The tomb where I was born.

This is her world. I just live in it.

I would die for you

In a heartbeat.

In every heartbeat

I have died.

She was a sunbeam And you can't hold a sunbeam in your hand.
