your smile
filled with happiness
flashed by my mind
are now engrained
there forever
i can never forget
what it felt like
when i saw it
your smile
stopped my heart
put me on pause
your smile
said to me
so much but so little
what you require
what you want
what you strive for
are all there
with just a little smile
a force enough
to make time stand still
a look so pure
of love or contentness
with a simple smile
make me smile
its contagious
your smile

early in the morning
when all is still
i lay there thinking
about life and all else
i see so much
i feel much more
my mind swims in thoughts
and my heart hurts
in my head there is darkness
and my heart is black
each missing its own element
neither knowing what to do
inside my mind is a storm
wind blowing fast
rain coming hard
trees falling everywhere
animals scurry around
trying to find some cover
inside my heart is angry
red like the blood
fire blazing high
burning everything in its...

what does it mean
love?
how to you do it
can you explain
what your heart feels
when you say
love
is it enumerated
by the ammount
that is given by you
or another person?
can you judge
is it available for consideration
how do you love?
by touch or words
through actions or
well wishes
these are questions
that must be answered
but what if they cant be
what if you cant answer
because you dont know
or maybe because
you refuse to
think deeply on the matter?
what does it...

i wish i knew how
to figure out myself
how to translate my thoughts
and how to show how i feel
to explain myself
i wish they'd understand
that i hurt
my masks are numerous
im not happy with myself
i wish i could sleep
without dreaming
and thinking constantly
about what i've done
i wish i could live my life
without fear of hurting
or hurting someone else
in happieness and cheer
without my masks
holding things in
i wish i could let go
of things that made me
who i am
what influences me...
