Strange dream
swallowed by the desire
that pushes its way up my throat
and out of my mouth pours my cracked
raspy voice
calling to the ends of the world
with a tune the rest of society has forgotten
the beat of a heart

she felt wrong, they is better. :) 

bittersweet
like the chocolate i try to drown myself in
dreading the day i have to tell you
but yearning for it at the same time
for so long
i have been a prisoner
of these feelings 
trapped beneath a smile

i run 
and jump
wishing i could fly 
but falling 
i find i can't
the feather's i wish for 
elude my grasp
the wings i so desperately yearn to alight on
never swoosh from my sides

sun trickles through the open window
like ice cream on a hot summer day
warming my lazy eyelids
and welcoming my blurry vision to the world of light
as i sit up, the sheets tangled around my legs

melancholy 
swimming in a sea 
of alternate realities
and faded polaroids in a shoebox
buried beneath my smiles
as i reach out for something that's not there
yearning to be found 
but crashing down again
