Jaded. Fragmented. Fallen.
Always Rising.

it's all over.
time. time again for another round.
it's only 9 am.
baileys 'n' coffee-
i need sumthing to drown out this voice.
this voice in my head.
telling me to risk it.
telling me that this is a good thing.
it's not.
it never is.
but i'll do it again.
break out of these chains.
tell the world to fuk itself.
well, its done most of that anyway. stupid world.
today.
today is going to be peaceful.
positive.
today i will have a smile plastered on my face.
today i will find my way.

every love story ends in tragedy eventually.
eventually every love fades.
every dream fades-
eventually the child within us gets fed up
and retreats.
stops pestering us.
and then we live.
here.
this world.
as adults.
and wonder why we don't feel fulfilled-
the child within us is pouting.

i see you.
in my mind's eye.
in my heart. in my smile when i'm hardly breathing.
or wrapped up in a calculus question.

it's not romantic.
it's not romantic at all.

and i don't mean to be insensitive-
but he was my ideal guy.
the one with the matching ideals.
and morals.
and personality that was cookie cutter.

he was the one that i thought would be my forever.
it lasted a week.
well, a week to me and a lifetime to him.

that was only the beginning-
i can't believe i walked away.
and not only just walking away,
but slamming-everything-down-and-trashing-the-house-and-stomping-out-the-door away.

and you?
i wasn't watching where i stepped.
you're not wat i like stuck on my shoes

or anything that i ever thought i wanted.
but yet, here i am smiling.
smiling like a fool.
i know i'm going to fall.
that's wat i do-
i get hurt.
but this time i'm going to forget about my shoes-
about my heart.
my life. my dreams. my ideals.
and all the ideas of me.
and just be me.
me.
that's all i can offer you.
can you taste me like i can taste you?
i've heard that smile in your voice.
i'm not sure if it's for me-
you are hidden to me.
and tho that's intriuging.
i'm falling.
and doing this.
maybe more for me than you.
because today-
tonight?
tonight i don't just lose myself in the moment
and forget about the world.
Tonight.
i come to you with the world.
with these scars. and not mean to scare you away.
to drive you away.
but to show you me.
me.
who is smiling right now in a ridiculous way.
