Hand in hand, they walk on the beach.
He whispers something in her ear, she laughs.
She turns and smiles to the sea and the beautiful sunset.
She says "How gorgeous is this view?"
And he turns to her suddenly, holding her gaze.
A silent moment passes as their eyes remain locked.
Finally he says,
"Nothing in the world could be more beautiful than what i am looking at now."
Her face flushes as red as the sky above the setting sun,
And she is left speechless in the intensity of his gaze.

Love is powerful, the most beautiful thing left in this world.
When you find it, don't let ANYTHING ruin it for you.

Trapped within myself,
Struggling to stay together;
It is difficult to maintain my hold
When nothing more is here for me.
I cling to reality
After losing all my sanity:
The one thing that held me here is now gone.
Someone, hold me down
Before i float away
From this empty world.
My heart feels like a black hole;
Sometimes it's like it's not there.
Sometimes it feels so cold,
Like lead sitting within my ribcage, resting on my heart.
Why does everyone want to hurt me
When I am already hurting?
Why can't they just let me be?

Beauty.
It is in the eye of the beholder,
And in my mind everyone is beautiful.
I am beautiful.
When people complain about how they don't have the right hair,
Or the right skin,
Or the right body,
It upsets me.
There are many kinds of beauty,
And in my mind, we are all beautiful.

Sunlight plays on the water
As the wind dances the trees lining the shore,
And the surface of the lake ripples from God's tears;
The rain.
Impossible as it seems, it is raining,
With no cloud coverage.
It doesn't make sense, and yet it is truly real;
Not a dream.

Secret Words

 

Secret words

Exchanged between the girl and her lover.

As he gets ready to leave again,

He steals one last kiss from her smiling lips.

Secret messages

Sent through their eyes, telling one another

That no one can know about their exchanges;

If anyone knew about their love,

They would be separated forever.

This is our secret,

They tell each other silently.

His lips touch hers again,

And they walk their separate ways,

Promising to meet again soon.

I am crying.
Plip, plip, plip;
My teardrops mix with the raindrops in the puddle;
It is raining.
Is God crying with me?
Does he feel the pain that I feel?
Does he taste his own tears
The way I taste the saltiness of mine?
Or, is there even a God at all?
Is there Heaven and Hell?
Is there anything after death?
The only way to truly know is to die,
But I do not want to die if there is nothingness after,
Even if sometimes I feel as if
Everything would be better if I was gone,
That people would be more content.
It sometimes seems as if my life has no meaning,
As if I shouldn't exist.
Depression still haunts me like a ravenous monster,
A monster wanting to eat out my soul
And leave behind my empty shell.

(In)Sanity

I wake up to a bloodcurdling scream.

After endless moments of hearing it, the scream dies;

I realize that I was the one screaming.

Why did I scream?

I cannot remember;

The fragmented memory of the nightmare slip through my fingers

Like water seeping through paper.

My paper-thin fingers

Cannot hold the liquid pieces together,

And they seem to evaporate from my mind.

I cannot remember what had caused me to scream in terror,

Waking myself up.

And there was the frightening part of it;

I am afraid of something I cannot even remember,

And that fear eats away at my mind gradually,

A few nibbles each day,

Slowly but surely taking my sanity;

It will evaporate the way the dream did,

But tormentingly leisurely.

And once the shard of sanity I still maintain is gone,

I will be, as well.
