Runaway Starfish
of a spongy orange
fly through the ocean
like a bird through sky
wait for high tide
like the muscle forests
surrounding you
And just let go
Let go of anger
of any frustration
of anything surreal
and allow the tide
to carry you to
someplace or
someone new
Runaway Starfish
fly fly away
If I somehow
gain the courage
to choke out
"why not?"
will you take the next step
or will you ask me to?
Ill slowly move my body
wondering all the while
if your watching my eyes
or the uneven movements
of my hand to your hair
and my body mimicking yours
"Kiss me"
hopefully someday
those words will vocalize
since the only thing I
seem to spew with you
is silence and more
unanswered questions
The answer is always what
you want it to be
Because I will always
want
crave
and be addicted to
you...
You have stolen my heart
And now its nowhere to be found
(Does that mean you've kept it?)
In most ways
I want you to have it
In most ways
I want you to have me
In many more ways
I want you and only you
(...well maybe not only)
When I thought of her
last night
I felt tears come to my eyes
And I've began to wonder
why?
And the only answer that
replays in my head is
idontknow
idontknow

Help Me Forget, Help Me ...
You force me to love you
But im not sure how
I how know my eyes light up
when they meet yours
even more-so when you smile
I forget everything and
start remembering you
start remembering better days
days when my smile was real
days when I knew what to expect
when I had a plan
when I was a sister
instead of a mother
when I had room to breathe
days when I was yours
and you were mine
(I dont think you'll ever
be mine again...)

Thinking Of Something Good
I dont want to spend the whole night crying
thinking of if you were here
I dont want to spend the whole night trying
thinking of effects of ware and tear
I do need to cry
doesnt mean I should die
drowning in worry and regret
Im thinking of leaving
as long as it might...
will help
I dont want to die
regretting my decition
and starting incition
into my most useful
organs, bleeding out silently
quietly, unknowingly
and softly singing myself to sleep
something I may never
wake from
and drop a bomb
on all thats
haunting my sleep
Ill work hard to get somewhere
whether it be heaven or hell
Why we try too hard
is a mystery to me
but sometimes when we try too hard
we succeed
(does that mean if I
try too hard, I will prevail?)
We build ourselves up
to tear ourselves down
once again
and lay in ruins
thinking of whats to come
and what has happened in past lives
(Humans will never have nine lives)
Watching you sleep
so peacefully
makes me smile
Felling your hand
entangled with mine
makes me smile
Tasting your lips
at midnight
makes me smile
Smelling your shirt
the one you wear
makes me smile
So why dont I smile
when I think of the ruins before
I wish life could be
ironed out
like wrinkled T-shirts
and steam
I wish courage
was something we were born with
so that I could do
those things I only think
I wish someone would
take me away from all this
like falling in love
or sex
So I wait for my shooting star
so far above in space
and sigh
(Maybe now my wish
will come true)
If The Shoe Fits... by RunawayStarfish, literature
Literature
If The Shoe Fits...
You pick away
at the mask you wear
as silence eats whats left
in your state
You leave the pieces
hoping someday
someone might find them
and your cinderella story
would come true
The mask you've worn
makes your sobs moans
and runs your tempurature
past 105 degrees
leaves you breathless
and sweating
looking for the one way out
Capture the princess
kiss my prince
When you say
"Cant wait to see you"
What you really mean is
you two
Does that mean
when you say
"I miss you"
you miss us both
the same?
I want to be enough
just me
I havent slept well lately
is that because of this stress
or you being gone?
yeahright
youwishhelovedyou
youwishhelovedyou
(the thing is, I do)

Literature
Under Midnight's Stars
The smell that comes to mind
is lavender and lemongrass
Because words cant describe it
and I could never explain you
Thoughts of dandelions
and greenstained kneecaps
tickle my fantasies
I see you reflected
in every shining surface
because there's more you
in me than i in myself.
And when I look in your eyes,
and see black and brown
with specks of gold
all i see is you
Even in unconsciousness, your laugh is
like a solemn lullaby
keeping me in this dream world
as my body silently screams
i know in my heart
(which is all yours,
by the way)
i'll never be the same without you...
this time I say
lovelovelovelove
but what im
