Sex

If I designed something so sacred and so beautiful, I would hope that those whom I designed it for wouldn't desecrate it so...

Sixteen

I feel like I've been dressing up my whole life for the date that never shows up on a Friday night.

Play

Can we a play a game? 
Can we play that game where I trust you and you give me your heart?
...that game where my heart is yours and I hold your hands?
...that game where everything I touch is yours and everything you hold is mine?
...that game where we don't lie?
...that game where we kiss goodnight but we never really stop kissing at all?
...that game where we never forget?
...that game where we never stop?
...that game where you and I both win?
...that game where when you fall I pick you up?
...that game where when I fall you lay there with me?
...that game where we get caught up in each other?
...that game where we forget there were ever any other people?
...that game where we realize we're the only ones?
...that game where we realize that we've always been the only ones?

And once we have found that we've always been the only ones, we'll realize it's not a game. 

Believer

I'm a skeptic and a cynic, yet you make me not want to be either.

Nothing to Lose

If you're not willing to risk it all, then give up now.

Starlet

If you define her by the drugs she's addicted to, then you're not defining her at all...

The Green Door

There is one door you like to keep shut.
It's green with brown edges.
It's become quite dusty over the years.
It creaks when you open it even slightly.
You like to open it real fast and slam it shut.
You don't like to peak under this door.
You don't like anyone to.
In fact, you don't want anyone to see this room.

But I'm going to tell you right now that I will soon open this door, and when I do, I'm not going to close it, I'm not going to run away, I'm not going to hide.  I'm going to walk in and sit down on whichever chair I choose.  And you will walk in behind me and discover that the healing has already begun. 

Teller

I think the world wants you to keep your secrets.
But at the risk of someone else's freedom, you must tell your secrets.

Self--

Just let me know when I'm convenient for you because our relationship revolves around you, right?

Once

I will walk away...

Trust

"The day I started to believe in you was also the day you let me down.  They are one and the same."

Recovery

It's not that rehab isn't an option; I'm just used to relapsing. 

patera

You don't understand why I do what I do right now.

But one day you will.  One day you will. 

Wren & Her Friends

You are lovely.
You are so precious.
You are the most fragile of souls I've ever held.
You are the most beautiful, yet you are so insecure.
You are quite happy.
You are quite knowledgeable.
You are on your way to being free.
You are on your way to bigger things.

Yet I can not help but feel that your hardest days are ahead of you, and because you are in my hands, because you are my own, I will protect you from all harm, from all danger. 

Tight

It's getting hard.
It's getting scary.

And I'm not sure I can carry out the task You've given me.

He & I

"You're a hell of an addict, and I'm one hell of a drug..."

When

There will be days when you don't know...

Please don't be afraid when these days come. 

Restore

If I have given them anything, I have given them hope. 
And hope isn't something you come across everyday. 

Far Away

I didn't break your trust. 
I broke my vow. . .

So, I understand why we must part.
But I want you to know how painful it is for me--

It's not painful to let go of you.
Yet it is hauntingly painful to know that I betrayed the One I love.

Alone

It's actually quite easy to live without you. . .

One Time

Why did you save me?

Because I know the treasure that you are...

Around here. . .

You can't come around here and tell me you're not over me.
You can't come around here and ask me to be yours.
You can't come around here and tell me that you were always mine.
You can't come around here and ask me those questions.
You can't come around here and tell me that you never found anyone like me.
You can't come around here and ask about me.
You can't come around here and tell me it's okay.
You can't come around here and ask why I don't want the same.
You can't come around here and tell me that I miss you.
You can't come around here and ask why I don't want you anymore.

My Sunshine

There were days when I didn't think I'd get better, but you were there.
There were days when I couldn't make it, but you were there.
There were days when I wouldn't wake, but you were there. 

Where are you now? 

Angels & A Ladder

I can't keep fighting you because if I keep fighting you, I will lose you.

And if I lose you, I lose everything. . .

A Week Ago

Things in my life are starting to make sense. 
It's weird because they started to make sense when I met you.

I only met you a week ago. 

Was

I feel as though I'm releasing the pieces of myself that got brushed under the rug when I wasn't looking. 

Paradox

The paradox of Your love is that it lasts forever.



Nothing else does. . .

Human

. . .made to be broken.
Longing to be whole...

Confessions

I'll tell you something new about me everyday. 
And I'll draw a picture, too. 
What I tell you will be a lie, and what I draw will be true. 

The Thing That Happened

I think when humanity fell, art rose up.

If it's True...

If Desire is the opposite of Death, then I understand why not so many have life let alone have life more abundantly.

More

I always asked you to unlock the door when we arrived home late at night because I always wanted to look at the sky a little longer. 

I just wanted to believe in something that was bigger than me for just a little longer...

Love

I know you think you know better than to love again, but you don't know me. . . 

Lie

"We're not all imposters walking around in your world..."

'Til . . .

If I can't sleep in the winter, I'll write 'til daylight peaks through.
If I can't drink enough to forget you, I'll look at pictures of me without you. 
If I can't dance enough to remember you, I'll add extra leaps 'til my turns lay me on the floor.
If I can't drive far enough to get away, I'll stay in our special place 'til you have a diffent face.
If I can't scream loud enough to stop you, I'll whisper 'til you begin again.
If I can't touch you so that you know I'm near, I'll stand in the background 'til I'm the only one you see.

If I can't find your heart, then I'll walk down the hallway 'til I see your ghost...

She Has

The Other Woman has feelings...
She has broken dreams...
She has foolish thoughts...
She has weak ambitions...
She has unresolved issues...
She has dark places...
She has unrecognizable faces...
And she has a bit of hope that will only last as long as her next breath.
 
So, if you please, I'd like it if you wouldn't refer to me as the other woman...

To Hold

You are mine, and you are lovely.
You are my darkest wine.
So, if you end up leaving, I'll be fine.

I promise you, I'll be fine. 

Change of Season

"I'm a little chilly but nothing uncomfortable."

Are you not...

Are you not supposed to lose complete control?
Are you not supposed to be angry?
Are you not supposed to lose it all?

Are you not supposed to try to keep everything in your hands even though you know it's all being taken away from you?

Over

"Today was the first day that I didn't think of you..."
