i still breathe in all the tiny fragments of you.
just as the taste of bitter coffee lingers on my tongue, your scent stains the air, filtering yourself down my throat and deep within my lungs, where you make yourself at home.
you proved that breaking the strongest muscle in my body will not kill me, and you will not reside within broken walls. so you decided to no longer live within my heart.
instead, i'm reminded of you with every breath that is pulled into my chest.
like that time last july when you mowed the lawn, bought me flowers and swore you would never leave. i never thought i would smell something quite so beautiful as your colonge entwined with fresh cut grass. (or that now it would hurt so much.)
you replace the air with memories.
with pain.
with you.
yet, i still breathe.
(but
only
because
i
can't
forget
you.)

The Loss
I can't think I can't breathe I don't know where I'm going or where I've been or If I'm really here at all is this some sort of dream am I dead am I here does it even matter any more? I'm falling, falling, falling, falling I've hit rock bottom I've found a shovel I'm digging, I'm digging, I'm digging and I've hit gold and I've found riches but I don't need them there's no point in them so I'm still digging and I've hit oil and I'm covered in thick oil and it's dark and it disgusting and I can't breathe and I can't see and I can't do anything because I'm still digging and the oil is filling up my lungs and I can't breathe and I'm still digging

Pretty Soldier
One two, one two
Step in time, step in time
March away, march away
I promise I'll be fine
Fine without you when you're gone
And far away from me
Say it once, say it twice
And true these words will be.
I'll think of you in Air Force blues,
I'll think about it all
Stepping lively, stepping true
My soldier standing tall
I promise I won't cry for you
Well…
I promise that I'll try
Not a tear, and not a sound
As two months pass on by
You know these words are all for you
But also, they're for me
Foolish maybe, selfish too
Can't change the way I see
But know I'll always love you
Until the very end
You are my heart, my othe

so perfectly imperfect you
I've finally realized why I've fallen for you,
before it was so simple to say why,
why I didn't understand
and whenever you asked
I'd reply simply that it was because
you were so perfect,
perfectly you.
"That's cheating,"
you'd whisper,
"that's not a real answer."
Now I've realized that
no.
You aren't my dream guy.
Your eyes don't twinkle,
you don't have the perfect smile,
and you don't have all the answers.
And now I understand
that you're not the guy of my dreams,
you're better than that.
You're real.
Your eyes don't twinkle,
they shine in a constant smile.
You don't have the perfect smile,
you have a lopsided one wi

just.
i don't know what this is. i'm sorry guys!
i haven't written in so long, and i've wanted to so badly, and yet this is all i come up with.
i did this during a short flight, so it's rather messy and unfinished. but, you guys can see it until i decide to fix it.

i quite like this! i mean, i can see there are parts that need cleaned up a little, but those aside it's good. The longer and shorter lines give an interesting effect, especially the one-word lines at the end. Very nice
