friends are the world

friends come and go
but some stay

forever

if i was alone right now
life would be awful

you make it amazing

smile

camera on

flash

if i had tears
they'd fall

i'm out

so please let them know
that life is better than its been in awhile

Awful Truth

It's hard in this position

Vulnerable

Powerful

Someone had to stop

Wordless

As syllables struggle to leave

my finger tips

like nails in the coffin

of a restless soul

freeing them only spells

tragedy

poisonous romance

It lives and dies with me

You were amazing long

before we met

I fear I was only an anchor

on a boat attempting to fly

You are free now

Tell him

I'm sorry

I would never want to someone

to do

what I did

To me

Knowledge

My grandpa used to tell me that

when there was thunder

God's angels were bowling

In grade 7

I learned the magic of mythology

and my teacher told us

about Zeus and his

mastery of the lightning bolt

At university

I learned the science

Negative an positive ions

colliding

Thunder is its sound

My grandpa believed beyond

all things the power of God

And

when my mythology teacher

was diagnosed with cancer

I used to see him at the church

I attended

My professor

is a scientist and will

not be swayed

Faith VS. Facts

Me?

after all these years

all this heartache

all these hurts

When I questioned God

When I cursed him

for my mistakes

I was lost

Now

older

wiser

believer

and working on

picking up

A 7 - 10 Split

A willingness to quit

You say it's over

as if those words could possibly

exist

between

me and you

The planets cannot stop

revolving

The stars will continue

to shine

But even stars fall

I guess
