UnKnown

Your favorite color was blue when you were seven.
Your favorite color is now green.
Your first hangover was spent all morning in my bedroom.
And I promised not to tell your mom. 

She has a lot of questions...a lot of questions that your cold face in a coffin just can not answer.

Sleeper

I can forgive you for waking me up while I am taking a nap.
Yet I can not forgive your for waking me up while I am dreaming.

Uncertainty

The irony of the situation is that the very hands that made your heart also broke it...

Tripp

The stones in the building on 8th Street are a lot like your heart--hollow, empty with weight, and designed to break apart.  You are designed to break apart. 

Why won't you just follow through?

Fall

I don't like knowing you're down the road skipping rocks in the pond while I'm doing the same thing on the other side of the pond.

The End

And maybe this is it...

Uncertain

I often wonder why I am the one who has been left haunted and in pain over all of this...

Ache

"I think it hurt because it mattered.  And I think it hurt because I lost a piece of me..."

Secret

One day you will find that being human is not your weakness but rather your strength.

NightBeats

If it's 2 a.m., and if it's spring 2006, then I'm out for a walk to clear my thoughts on the streets of Los Angeles. I'm walking with angels, I swear--that is until you come chasing after me. You always felt like you had to protect me, so you'd ride your bicycle behind me following me and telling me that it's not safe and that I shouldn't be out this late by myself.

All the while I was telling you that I'm not safe, and you shouldn't be out this late alone with me.

Best For You

I'm not the type to walk over.
Because you'll trip, you'll fall, and you'll be done.
 
Just ask all the flames that have burned before you.

Prayer

I've asked you a thousand times to take away this pain. . .

Night

I think the sun will shine again.

It's just taking it's time.


She's never lost a thing in her life.

June was named not for the month in which she was born but because she came a little too early. By the time she was twenty-three, she had more money than Albert Einstein had genius. Her success isn't measured by plaques on the wall, and her failures aren't scored by the rejection she has faced. She drops little hints here and there about how she'd like to meet her biological father; she's heard his name was Jimmy. But her stepfather has always told her that Jimmy left because June came too early. If she had held out for one more day, he'd still be around.

Nothing is ever understood, and lies are told only to later reveal the truth we all know but can't comprehend. There is an amazing distance between two people that are as close as you and I.  I can only wonder if I came into your life too early... 

Knowing Better

"Maybe it's time you believed in love again..."

Black Boots

Forgive me for running. 
I was not scared. I was not afraid.


I just knew you were starting to feel what I've felt all along...

Cold Night

Sometimes our addictions get the best of us...

An Evening in August

Did your soul forget the promises your body made that night?

Relapse

"I thought I was stronger..."

Before It Sets

Remember to kiss the sun before it sets, and remember to wish on three stars before bed.
Remember to tell the sun "Good Morning", and remember to take your pills before breakfast.
Remember to pack an apple for lunch, and remember to drink juice at brunch.
Remember the five dollars in your pocket, and remember the wine in the trunk.
Remember your coffee break at two, and remember your heels in the back seat.
Remember your yoga class at four, and remember to close the door.
Remember to wear your white dress to dinner, and remember to sip slowly.
Remember to mind your manners, and remember to ask questions.
Remember to make eye contact, and remember to hold hands.
Remember to make it home early, and remember to kiss the sun before it sets.

Tomorrow

"I know that you are at peace far away from here, but there are still things I am struggling with..."

Not Today

"...And when you are strong enough, we will walk through the valley."

Loss

Tell me when the sun sets.
I need to know when to expect the darkness.

Hold

Moments do not last forever.
I would know because you are not here anymore.
