~*~ life ~*~

I was thinking that I might fly today

Just to disprove all the things that you say.

It doesn't take a talent to be mean;

your words can crush things that are unseen,

so please be careful with me, I'm sensitive.

And I'd like to stay that way.

I have this theory that if we're told we're bad

Then that's the only idea we'll ever have.

But maybe if we're surrounded in beauty

Someday we will become what we see

I'd rather see the world from another angle.

~*~

I have a smile stretched from ear to ear as I see you walking down the road.

We meet at the lights, I stare for a while

The world around us disappears.

It's just you and me on my island of hope

A breath between us could be miles

Let me surround you, a sea to your shore

Let me be the calm you seek.

~*~

Please don't say I love you.

Those words touch me much too deeply, and they make my core tremble.

Don't think you realize the power you have over me.

And please don't come so close, it just makes me want to make you near me always.

~*~

I love the time and in-between the calm inside me in the space where I can breathe.

I believe there is a distance I have wandered to touch upon the years of reaching out and reaching in holding out and holding in.

I believe this is heaven to no one else but me and I will defend it as long as I can be left here to linger in silence, if I choose to would you try to understand...

The quiet child awaits the day when she can break free the mold that clings like desperation.

Mother can't you see I've got to live my life the way I feel is right for me, might not be right for you, but it's right for me.

I believe this is heaven to no one else but me and I will defend it as long as I can be left here to linger in silence, if I choose to would you try to understand...
