eggshells that I walk uponhave always been my own. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/messydaisy/556816/ A split in the sky slices graying clouds in two.A trail where man's machine has reached the

for bet.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/messydaisy/551877/ It onlyworks when I never need it to.Until then it spits up.Cracks up.Freezes up.F***s up.It only breaks And throws out a final sparkWhen I need a bit ofProper functioningTo make it through the day. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/messydaisy/551875/ My soul screams out for splendor.It's a high-pitched wailThat tears a hole in the night.Oh, I have longed for beauty,To hold it in my hands,But it always whispers         -In that fleeting voice-There's none for me out there. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/messydaisy/551871/ Oh, love me.Love.Me.Love me in completeness.Hold meWith the careYou'd show yourOwnSoul.SlipIntoAll of my well-being.Right into meAnd stay.Oh,Stay with me.Always with me.Always.Always.And I willGive youAll of me.No pretenses.Just.Me. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/messydaisy/508672/ There you go,A firecrackerWaiting for a match.There you go, I could have burned     (for you)Should you have given meThe time. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/messydaisy/508337/ I canonly see theway things arenever meant to be.I have led myself toedges of disappointment -A hobby, if you will. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/messydaisy/508334/ i lied awake.i lied in your wake.that night, that night,still as my breathing,lays in my mind,replays itself inside my head.don't run, don't run.they're faster than you imagine.i cry for you.don't crash, i'll meet you.i feel your heartbeat,i swear it moved with mine,once.no more, no more. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/messydaisy/501630/ The midnight is hanging tough over our heads tonightWith shadows waltzing in and out of the light of the car.I love the nights like thisWhere I feel we've made it and there's nothing left to do but be.Be here, right now, with nothing in our way.Your eyes are surprised and your mind is fighting demon.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/messydaisy/501623/ So fix me up,Although I am not broken.Make me, mold me,Show me what you need me to be.I am not aware of anythingOr any wayTo make you hang around.So pick me up,I've fallen.Bandage all those woundsThat I no longer feel.I don't really need youTo save me,But it's such a lovely thought thatSomeone would.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/messydaisy/501518/ I've tried to believe in you for so long,tried to hold on -so tight-to a faith I find heart-breakingly intangible.And, I wonder so often if its me,specifically,who is numb, or ifyou're just not speaking to me?I think about you constantly,wonder when you'll come my wayand I look for you in images of ..

me.I believe in it.Suddenly,A glimpse,A spark,A sort of torrid downpourAnd I believe we’d danceInside a blanket of rain.And, I believe youWould come to me,Awaken all the sensesThat I’m sureAre tired of being dormant.Oh, I am sureThat you wouldTake me into yoursAnd lay a.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/messydaisy/501406/ I feel restless againAnd I wonder when you’ll come to me.I wait for you in dreams,In waking,In the chilly night air.Alone, I wait.I don’t know whyOr whatOr howOr when,Only will and I only hopeI hope for something tangible and indescribable.A conundrum for a dreamer.

http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/messydaisy/499591/ Do you knowThat you belong to me?That every moleculeThat you consist ofIs property in my name?Hair on your arms, The length of your throat,That fallen eyelash lyingQuietly on your golden cheek.All mine.I’m happy to own the wayYou walk into a roomOn long legs, lean and sinister.I have rights to.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/messydaisy/499590/ I crept along the wall Positive the shadows would conceal me From the eyes of a hundred Passers-by Who knew not what I am here to do. My shoes provide the silence With a click Clack That resonates and makes my heart thump harder. I feel the cool paper Against my back, And I imagine the sw.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/messydaisy/499589/ And I swear to GodI’m nothing like I used to be,Covered in scars and razor-marksThe likes your band-aidsWould never cover.And I am not the personThat you fell in love withWhile we spouted SpanishAdjectivesWe found amusing at 16.And I hold lonelinessCloser to my half-beatingHeartThan I used to .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/messydaisy/499588/ Sensible, I'dthink it was the way.Your heart grew clawsthat latched on to my skinand I wore your obsessionlike an overcoat that smells likemothballs because I was ashamedto wear it for so long.And I wrote youeighty page love notes filled withall of my nonsensical prose justso you'd never know exactl.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/messydaisy/499587/ I wish that you would sayLovely is a perfect wordThat shoots its way across your mindEvery time you think of me. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/messydaisy/499585/ I swear it feels as if I walked along a road for quite some time And didn’t really know which way I should be headed But kept on walking Anyway.
