Shackles
I fooled myself into thinking I was free. I have never been free; I only got better at manipulating the chains. I flailed my hands to distract from the chains through my heart; I laughed and shouted to hide the chains around my throat; I kicked and danced to conceal the chains piercing my guts. Through all of it I cried, "See how free I've become?!" "I've been healed! I've been set free!" So why does it feel like my fighting only further binds the chains? Like I'm choking myself intentionally in an attempt to feel safe? With every move of my tongue And every breath of my lungs, I have only worked the chains tighter. There's no use in crossing

Heartbeat
8-04-10 There's this urge to reach out and leave my fingerprints on your face, like a little, delicate claim to that moment of your life because I don't know if you'll remember me in ten years if I don't at least try now. I think I'm in love. I don't burn the small hours of the morning with just anyone and you seem more than willing to put aside that cigarette to talk to me about your theories on God. Do you share like this with anyone else? I think you are too. You pull smiles from my lips so easily and I almost don't catch them in time to dim them down; you probably already know, but I want to clutch onto this game of a secret
