			<title>Paper worlds.</title>
			<description>It seems my pen will always try to show how it sounded when you said my name, how sweet it was, just rolling off your tongue and into my veins.I do not miss you any longer&amp;nbsp;but my ink still spells out our love,&amp;nbsp;and I can only hope that soon&amp;nbsp;another will find me and fill me&amp;nbsp;with ne..</description>

			<title>Three years too soon.</title>
			<description> I never want to look like that again.I do not want to wish away my petty problems by creating ones that last.I do not want to be ashamed of taking off my clothes and opening up my heartand its red love in a waythat is unlike the others.I do not want to wear my hair down sleeves down shirt dow..</description>

			<title>Sixteen year hopes.</title>
			<description>There I stood,A year later,In a different place than I was then entirely,(Not that you stuck around to watch that.),But everything is the same.I stood crying in the kitchen to my mother,Over words that did not mean a thing,In that stupid shirt(I bet you don&amp;rsquo;t even remember the color.)From that..</description>

			<title>Living together.</title>
			<description>You say you love,But I see nothing of the sort.A hug or a kiss or a kind wordOnce a day do not make upThe kind of love I hope for.Harsh words and bitter tongues,All I hear is anger and disgust.Words thrown as if they don&amp;rsquo;tPain, while I am the one watchingAnd feeling the jabs in my heart.I&amp;rsqu..</description>

			<title>Five years later.</title>
			<description>Love does not end overnightor in the time it took me to drive away.It does not disappear over a hand gone too faror because of words shared in a drunken disaster.It ends when it does not see you,when it hears of another,when a touch feels cold on the skin,when it was scared of your hand.It ends when..</description>

			<title>Holy.</title>
			<description>You speak of His son,Who cured the sick and healed the crippled,Spoke of finding hope in the darkness.His son,Who asked for nothing more than trust.Yet, you speak of denying that hopeTo those who have done nothing wrong,Just to call yourself &amp;ldquo;enlightened.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;So how can you speak of a ..</description>

			<title>The last good night.</title>
			<description>A fresh new page opens.&amp;nbsp;I feel them in my soul but&amp;nbsp;I cannot make my hands write the wordsthough my heart can see it clearly.Our adventures together down roadswe were certain no one else had seen.&amp;nbsp;Pointing out new buildings and&amp;nbsp;laughing with our stomachs.&amp;nbsp;My pen dances on the..</description>

			<title>I heard a song like that once.</title>
			<description>I like the way your lips taste like cinnamonAnd the arrogant smile they makeWhen you do that stupid hair flip.See, I&amp;rsquo;ve found that fall winds are anything but bleak,And even when they turn to winter,Nothing makes me quite as weakAs the smell of coffee in the morningWhile your cigarette smoke r..</description>

			<title>This one's about you (but aren't they all?)</title>
			<description>Nervous or excited,I have yet to determine the difference.We came in from the dark February night,Holding hands, fighting cold.I cleaned and you looked on,Making me laugh straight from my heart.You look at me like I put stars in the sky,And for once, I felt that I did.Those walls, covered in posters..</description>

			<description>There is something abouthis too-loud laughthat makes mine echo;the way it fills the spacethat was hopefuland not awkward,silent but not empty.His toothy smileis too big for his face,but I can feel my ownmaking my cheeks hurtand I wonderif this is just how happiness is,taking up as much roomas someon..</description>

			<title>Dreamy days.</title>
			<description>It&amp;rsquo;s the simple way you take my hand&amp;nbsp;like it is yours for the taking.&amp;nbsp;It&amp;rsquo;s the kisses you sneak onto my cheek&amp;nbsp;when (you think that) I&amp;rsquo;m not looking.&amp;nbsp;It&amp;rsquo;s your arm around my waist&amp;nbsp;and it is not for protection&amp;nbsp;and it is not to show the world&amp;nbsp;b..</description>

			<description>I am so stuck in thoughts of you.&amp;nbsp;I can practically hear you whispering&amp;nbsp;something just for me,&amp;nbsp;and I can already feel your stare on me&amp;nbsp;as I break into a smile.&amp;nbsp;We are dancing around the room,&amp;nbsp;my arms around your shoulders&amp;nbsp;and your hands on my waist&amp;nbsp;and my God ..</description>

			<title>Where?</title>
			<description>I love to count the roses in your eyesas you trace the stars on my back&amp;nbsp;and the roadmaps on my wrists&amp;nbsp;and use them as constellations.You are like an ancient sailor who&amp;nbsp;has no certainty of what if he will findand no assurance that he will find anything&amp;nbsp;that he will amount to anyth..</description>

			<description>My heart can feel the weight of itself&amp;nbsp;and it is an amount it has not weighed&amp;nbsp;since love last took its burden.But&amp;nbsp;your&amp;nbsp;smile is going with you and&amp;nbsp;I do not know the touch of your hand&amp;nbsp;or the feel of your kiss&amp;nbsp;or how you spend your Sunday&amp;rsquo;s.I want to know, I n..</description>

And again.&amp;nbsp;I felt myself sitting and trying&amp;nbsp;to remember your words and your eyes&amp;nbsp;and your smile and the way I swore&amp;nbsp;you looked at me. And ther..</description>

			<description>If only I could consume the sunshine,&amp;nbsp;because it&amp;rsquo;s all they say I need.Maybe it would go down more easily&amp;nbsp;than these goddamn pills.Maybe if I had all the sun inside me,&amp;nbsp;running through my veins,&amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp;wouldn&amp;rsquo;t&amp;nbsp;have to hear about&amp;nbsp;the inadequate levels of&amp;nbs..</description>
