My words spill over my lips with the grace of broken glass
I read through every word that I had written
It is beautiful
It is full
It is life
Thinking back over heartache I reach for my pen
my lifeline
My only living friend
Skating around on the pages
So filled with lies and decite
The ink slides over as I watch the candle light flicker
It beckons me to the words I want to write down
The very heart beat in my chest slows down
As I think about the times I want to record
the art is in the words
The words are crafted in the letters
The letters come from my mind
I rock back and forth against that old,red pillow
Toying with thoughts that yearn for paper and its comfort
The escape for my thoughts are lying there;
A thin strip of release that calls for me
The time passes as I walk
through the remminisent plagues of regrets
The poetry of irony
The ironys of it all
It consumes through my body as I scribble down hopes
My heart to paper as I let go of the pain that has held me
Hostage for so long
This thing
This art
Engulfing my thoughts as I cry to little blue lines
Intriguing speech prettied up and beauified
Made into my own work
The sole survivior of things I want to forget
Held into folders of things I love
The memories I write have saved me
Saved me from myself
This act of mindless thoughts placed so carelessly on record
This is my life
My death
My reason to live
The day I found poetry
I found myself
Wrapped up in plastic
Ready to write
