shatter
Time moves in slow motion as you watch your version of a perfect world shatter around you.
The two little girls are growing older, and growing apart.
There are not more shared secrets under covers with flashlights,
hiding from parents who have long went to bed.
There are no hugs from boys who love you no matter what,
who are armed and ready to protect you,
from any boy who dares break your little heart.
The one who always scared away the monsters
and wiped away your tears
is now the one who cries herself to sleep at night
because it didn't go the way she planned
There is no knight in shining armor,
or a prince on a white steed
who will kiss you awake, call you beautiful
and save you from your nightmares.
There is only realty and her harsh truths to see you through the night.

but
I wrote you a poem
but then I threw it away because I thought you wouldn't like it
-
I drew you a picture
but I erased it because it wasn't very good
-
I wrote you a story about us
but I crumpled it up and tossed it away because was afraid our endings didn't mesh
-
I wanted to give you my heart
but then I locked it away because I was afraid you wouldn't accept
-
I love you so much
but I don't want to tell you in case you don't feel the same

evanescing
Some days I just wish I could bottled you up and keep you with me forever
I don't want you to go, but I know that one day you will
you're nothing but a fleeting presence in the none reality of my own making
but you're my everything, and my only
you're the other half of my soul, even if you refuse to acknowledge it
and when you disappear, so will I
leaving nothing but the wisp of my past
and the fading stigma of my love on your soul.
