The Beautiful Desert Flower
On this very lovely day,
Long ago,
Two beautiful things were born.
In a place far away,
The bud,
A flowering rose of love began.
A century plus one is how much now to pay,
The credit,
This beautiful state began as a desert.
The fiery pit of Arizonan love will last on forever,
For on this day long ago,
Love was born;
For on this day long ago,
Arizona became a state.
In Arizona a desert flower is what truly symbolizes Valentine's Day. Even in its dryspells the flower still lives. It lives through the hardest of times and still blooms. It is a trully beautiful thing. <3 Happy Valentine's Day, and Happy Birthday, Arizona!!!!
My, my what a wonderful day.
It seems as though the blues have gone away.
On this day I hear a friend say,
"It's my birthday!
Hooray! Hooray!"
Though I do not know him well,
It still warms my heart that he can tell,
The story of how he he can live so well.
His happiness and hunger for knowledge,
Makes him the happy everybody knows.
The help he gives,
And the smiles he spreads.
I want to wrap him up and stick on a bow.
Only to end up giving this special present
To a special friend.
I can't see anything
Tiny droplets fall
It isn't rain
There's no ground
Somehow I'm suspended here
I close my eyes
I'm surrounded by a lingering white mist
And a tangle of trees
I'm in a flowing white dress
Wait
No, it's black
No, it's white
It's white
But it has a ring of singed black where it has been burnt
And red stains
I spin around at the sound of breaking branches and a metallic sound
There you are
On your knees
Your black clothes are torn
Your hands bloody
A bloody dagger rests at your knees
You bow your head looking at your hands
The spots of red on my dress are moist
I pull my hand away from one
My hand is bl
I need to get out of here
So many good times
Everything burned by you
You've branded my memories
Just like a farmer brands a cow
I just need to get away
There's nothing left here for me
The tornado destroyed my house
You took everything from me
I have to get out of here
There's a place I need to go
I need to get out of this place of memories
I gotta get out of town!
I need to get away from you!
Get out of my life!
How am I supposed to live with you constantly there?
All you do is shred my paper heart
Every time I escape
Every time you get my attention
I can't stand it anymore
I gotta get out of this town!
I have to get a
I'm not alone
I know I'm not
But somehow in all the confusion of this messed up world
We always think we're alone
But we're not
There's always someone there
It's always a matter of finding that someone
And when you do
It's a matter of trusting them
You need to trust them with everything you have
When you find the person you can trust more than anything
Your life turns
It turns for the better
You aren't alone
At times we all think we are alone
But we're not
We never are
I hope you understand
That there is always someone willing to help you
I know it is hard to be happy
But you can be
Just stop looking at the negatives
I k
It is time
I don't want to lose this
But it is time
Just like everything else I've ever known
It's time
I've never wanted to
But I've always had to say goodbye at one point or another
I never expected it
But just like everything else I've ever known
You are my past
It's time
I don't want to lose you
So I keep hanging on
I'll keep your ring
And the memories you left behind
It is time
But I just can't let you go
You hurt me so bad
And yet I always seem to overlook what you have done
All I can see is what we used to be
I love you
But I hate you more than anything else
I'm so confused
And yet
Through all the love I have fo
Please don't forget
Don't forget me
Don't forget us
We've had some pretty big ups and downs
Don't forget
Whether it was a good time or a bad time
Only now do I realize that we will be together again
I know it
I just know it in my heart
You may not love me now
But you will love me again
Don't forget
Don't forget who I am
Don't forget anything about me
We will only be apart for a short time
But I know
In this time we will grow so much
We will overcome big obstacles
I believe this will be one of the biggest
Don't forget
Don't forget how you told me you would love me forever
Because even though you don't right now
I know you
The rustle
The coolness
A ripple runs through my clothes
Skies of blue
Puffy white clouds here and there
Mountains of purple
Rocks and yellowing grass
Green and brown trees and cacti
The whistle
The rustle
The coolness
A ripple through my clothes
A pause
Warmth
A bright shining sun
Coolness
I am alone
There's nobody around for miles
A presence
Not a person
Not an animal
My heart
It aches
The presence
A drop on my cheek
A scream
Searing pain in my head
Softness
My heart
It's perfect
No pain
What is pain?
Beautiful blue skies
The rare spring wind
The cacti I never liked
The cacti I love for it marks home
A ch
You tore me down
like a piece of paper in a shredder
I was weary to give it to you
You held my heart
Next thing I know
you're throwing it
My sight blurs
A salty drop of water reaches my mouth
And then another and another
I turn
I run
SPLAT
Sticky red stuff hits me
I run into something
Everything goes black
Light
Bright white light
Focus
White walls
White bed
White equipment
Black screen
Green lines
Where am I?
Am I in Heaven?
Door opens
Person
A doctor
"Am I in Heaven?"
"Haha, no. I'm Dr. Heart. We're fixing your heart."
"You can fix it?!"
"Yes, now go back to sleep."
I close my eyes
Life
A million different
I watch, listen, wait
Shhhhh shhhhhh
Kersplash shhhhh shoom
And it's gone, but again
Watch, listen, wait
If you think about it,
Life is like an ocean
You're out at sea and waters are calm and steady
The wave signifies your peers
As the tide comes in, the wave starts to curl over
It crashes over you and takes you under
It overwhelms you and you can't breathe
The wave hits the rocks
Did you make it?

Did you make it?
save you
thats my reason
protect you
defend you
make you feel worth it
thats why im here
to keep others here
to be their shoulder to cry on
to keep them sane
keep them safe
even from themselves
to help them get through
live
my reason is giving them a reason
Here you are again
In my fucking head
Deleted your number
All your texts
The Sim of you
Every poem about you
But still you're here
Never a day without you haunting it
Been so long
But still you control me
I just can't shake it
Shake you
Will you ever give me my head back?
Because I can't take you much longer
This shit you do to me
Even though you're gone
All I want is you out of my fucking head!!
PLEASE!!
Please…
hey jack
come over here
lip to lip
one little slip
you make me so warm
my calm before the storm
hold you close
your scent fills my nose
cant get enough
what you do to me is unjust
Once
Once he was nothing
Akward guy with a crush
Another face in the hall
Now
Now hes my everything
My love
My world
So sweet, funny and cute
Who knew
One day he'd be mine
The one i want forever and always
My prince charming
So glad he talked to me
So glad i said yes
I can't see anything
