Memories consume, lives entwine, love can never be caputred, not this, not now...

[Origami]

I don't know where I'm going anymore,
Pictures and letters left to burn away.
Memories of my life, like outdated news,
I know it's not healthy to live in past days.

Stumbling through this hollow home,
Drunken on the memory, wasting from pain.
I have no safe haven in this empty house,
No more soft words to keep my sane.

Like an old photograph you float in my mind,
Refusing to die, never going to let go.
So new, yet so strong, so immortal,
Where this sudden sickness came from, I'll never know.

A faint beating growing to be so strong,
Oh I fear my heart will again lead me astray,
Pushing out, trying to escape from it's cage,
I fear this beating won't slow, you won't go away.

I believe there is no cure for me,
No vaccine strong enough to cure you.
Once more I could have avoided the pain,
Once more I could have never came to.

As casual as it could have possibly been,
Words so softly uttered without meaning before
Now burn like a wildfire so raw and powerful,
I never feared this could become so much more.

So soon, so unexpected I have to let myself go,
Emotions consuming, escaping, wild, so untamed,
I can't bear to see another day like this again.
Oh these feelings have me so ashamed.

This is pretty deep...

Is it really? ): Or are you just saying that?
I was hoping so that it wouldn't be, I knew I let some things out that I didn't want but ugh. ):

I mean... psh...like...deep as a footprint. :)
But it's okay. No harm in expressing yourself. :)

Deep as a footprint? That's quite shallow my friend.

And yeah, I express myself to a limit on VT for reason I won't speak, reasons to remain unknown.

Are you a poet?

[Origami]

By choice. :) Yes I am, why do you ask?

[Bougainvillea]

You should do things for newspapers.
You're pretty good. :)

What kind of Newspaper has poetry? And er I fail at recognition, I'm working on my class poem for graduation, would love to recite it at class day.

Where I live there's weekly inserts for poems. I'm not sure if they still do. But my sister had one in the newspapers. I think my friend said they stopped. I'm not sure if they do it in the southern states.

Interesting, I've never heard of anything like that around here.

Yeah? Well, I live in Nevada so, I'm pretty sure things are a bit different.
