Six Was Innocent

Greasy pizza at the flea market
That we lived for
Learning how to write
our names
Ice-cream melting on my shirt
And not caring
It was innocent
Until pizza made me sick
And my name was being
Written on the bathroom walls
And my shirt was soaked
With tears because I cared
And I wish I could go
back to six because
six was innocent.

Anorexia

You used to watch me dance.
I hated it.
My body was your habit.
You captured me
with your power,
manipulation...
And you, like Satan,
entered every soul.
You were always there.
I had no control.
Like mold that spreads,
you were everywhere.
That's when I stopped eating.

Nothing Like Before

With all the confusion in life
I see you so clearly.
Your words calm my heart,
and I listen as if to a lullaby.
You're sweet.
You travel my mind
rather than my body.
You lift me to a higher place
where we can see the world
and keep it at our feet.
Angels reside among us
when we are together
and it was the angels
who introduced us.

Join Me

Come with me and see
how two stories
will end as one
ride with me
the ebb and flow
of love and passion
strength and weakness
where I fall short
you exceed
and where you aren't able
I am skilled
hold me in your thoughts
and I will hold you
in my arms
meet me where our
two paths cross
and let us go on
together
to discover
rapture in
our unity
