I know what love is
It's a burning Hell
Hands that you will never touch
A feeling that will never be enough
Someone you can't be with
Even though you wish you could
Someone too gorgeous for words
And you don't even care how they look
It's weird how people think
Saying death is such a terrible thing
Have you ever tried being alive?
It hurts more than you can believe!
If you kill or physically abuse
You'll go to prison, but what about those
Who kill someone from the inside out?
Starting with the soul, where it hurts the most
I know I'm an idiot
You know that it's true
I'm just a plain girl
And probably uglier than you
When I was little
I wasn't much better
I just longed for something
To make it all matter
But now that I've grown up
Now that I'm older
I finally know
There's just nothing to find - There's no hope at all!

THE PERFECT WORDS
I wanted to write you a poem
But the words just weren't enough
When I tried to find the flower
To compare to your beautiful skin
The flowers hid away
Because they knew
They could never win
I tried to find an adjective
To describe the look in your eyes
But what word could be enough
To describe those eyes
When they are so sad
And so beautiful
And so lonely
And so perfect
All at once?
What species of butterfly
Should I say flies within me?
I tried to look it up
But the butterflies of love
And desire
That are still invisible
And can manage to live inside of you
Well... My encyclopedia
Doesn't even mention they exist!
I looked for the perfect words
I wanted to say to you
I found only a few
But how do I turn them into a sentence?
Love
Sad
Comfort
Belong
Beautiful
Exciting
Kiss
Touch
Happy
Now those are the words
But how do I put them in a sentence?
Well, if I would draw you a picture
You wouldn't understand a thing
No colors and shapes could be enough
To describe what I feel about you
You are just too good to be true

2009-02-11 MY HEART
I gave you my heart
Now please give it back
I want to give it to someone else
What is this?
This is broken and torn
It's molten and old
This is not the heart I gave you
I gave you a fresh one
Young and full of hope
Full of love and desire
Now you leave it back to me
In this condition
Who's gonna want it now?
Fix it up for me
Heal it
So someone might want it again

2009-02-18 WILL I EVER BE ENOUGH?
If you met another girl
One from your neighborhood
Would you give me up
Or am I really enough?
Am I what you use
Until you find what you need?
What you throw out
When you find what you'll keep?
If I made love to you
Throughout the night
Could I please you enough?
Will you ever be satisfied?
Am I pretty enough?
For a goddess like you
If I was ugly
Would you leave me?
I have nothing to give you!
Nothing besides love
Can that be enough?
Or do you need more?
If I tell you I love you
You beautiful girl
Would you rather hear the words
From someone else but me?
If I couldn't offer money
Or sex or food or shelter
Would you still every night
Lay down by my side?
And would you still tell me
That you are only mine
And belong to no one else
But me?
Is this distance enough
To break up me and you?
Is any distance that far?
I hope the answer's "No!"
When you go to bed at night
Who do you think about?
Whose hands do you imagine
All over your perfect skin?
And whose name do you whisper
Silently in the night?
I'll never be perfect
But will I ever be enough?
