Insomnia

Sleep is such a tricky devious thing. I have begun to hate sleep, and dreaming. When I am awake I know what is real, what is true. Dreams confuse the issue. I have resolved never to sleep again. I can't bear the mornings anymore. Every time I wake I have to leave a world where you're still alive for the real world where you aren't.  

All The Things You Can Be

Remember, when the world feels cold, when you hopes feel broken, when you heart feels drained, when your resolve feels weak; I have arms to give you warmth, words to mend your hopes, love to fill your heart, and strength to support you. I believe in you, I always have and I always will. You can do anything, and yet if you do not succeed? I promise to love you still, for the only measure I ever ask is that you TRY.

The Door That Opens To A Wall

It doesn't matter what I say, I could be speaking portuguese for all the difference it would make. You are not hearing a single word, and you are so angry for such a silly reason. It's difficult to hear another point of view when you are so busy screaming your own at everyone. Your hurt and suffering is so loud I'm surprised you hear anything else. I wish I could open that door for you, and show you how to get to the world on the other side of it. But each time I open up that door I find nothing but a brick wall, blocking up the exit.

Sparkle

Friendship makes the world shine brighter, friendship will amplify happiness and dull the sharp pang of sorrow by dividing it and sharing it amongst each other. It spreads the load evenly so everyone bears only what is possible for them. Share your life with someone, it will be immeasurably more rich when you do.

Never Treat Others

You think the way you treat people will get you what you want, that if you manipulate them enough your truth will become the only truth. People are not action figures in your life, they don't cease to exist without you there. We, each of us, have a mind and life all our own. I hate the way you talk to people, I swear I will never treat others so despicably. You need to be careful with the way you treat others, because you get what you give. Kindness grows kindness, and if you keep yours all to yourself it will die, like fruit on a vine, it needs sunshine.

Raindrops

I will let them splash upon my windows and clear away the dingy dirt and grime of the recent months. I will let each drop of water take away a bit of sorrow. I will look out with new unhindered eyes to a changed yet familiar world. I will come out into this refreshed world and see the flowers I've been missing. I realize now they hadn't gone forever, it only felt that way when they were hidden from my view.

Simple Math

I'm sure your heart is breaking too, I'm sorry for your bruises. I'll leave a message with the guard at the gates... There was a time I could deliver directly, but the walls are built up so high these days, I'm not sure I'll ever be able to find a way through. I don't love you any less, but I can't count on you anymore.
