Please,
let the rope go
run through your fingers
until they burn.
I have a good grip on it now
pulling my direction
until you burn.
Should I give in or should you?
All of me is yours, you had me whole
waiting for a sign
of love on the other side.
You never gave me your heart, only a peice
holding back
from my end, and the pain of losing it all.
Are you lost forever, I ask,
knowing that forever isn't real
only defined by love and death
life continues.
I will see her again.
I hope to have the strength to wave,
instead of the half smile,
that I expect from her.
I will half smile.
Pretending like we are distant friends,
instead of lost love[r]s
I ask one question.
Can you love again?
My attitude is dogmatic, screaming 'yes',
but logic on this one seems more sound
than emotional thought, or a subjective perspective.
The old argument, logic vs. love.
Where logic shows the failures,
and love shows the hope,
giving in...
to love again.

and take your words

into your skin,
like warm clay,
and pale.
You melt around me
while inside me.
My body heat
climbs.
My eyes roll
Snatched me up
From a bored volcano
Washed me down
Scrubbed my soul-hole
Of sincere shame,
Rejection and dejection
Knelt down
by Brianna Dill
I rise higher into the screaming air
Yet, I sink lower
Drowning in a pool of despair
Hatred wells up from my innermost being
Praying To See The Light
In the hours I'm at my weakest, darkness falls upon me.
without the light, I fear what I can't see.
