Absence brings realizations
i could live without you
but i don’t want to
i've realized in our time apart.
that i could easily and happily
spend the rest of my life with you
a cute pickup truck, a small house in
the country.
just you and me babe.
that's my paradise.
i've come to the realization
that id follow you anywhere
in this past month.
i've seen a completely different side of you
a vulnerable side, a side that was scared to
say "i love you."
A side that was scared to say "don’t leave me."
Knowing your history,
i feel like you've come so far.
too love and trust me the way you do.
i feel really special and blessed.
and i want to prove to you
that i'm worthy of those things
i want to take care of you, and never hurt you.
i never want you to feel abandoned ever again.
i will love you aslong as you let me.
and i will never leave no matter what comes our way
and if you ever decide that you don’t feel that way anymore.
i’ll let go. Because that's how much i love you.
i will never keep you against your will,or from happiness.

the good way to lose a parent
is like this – not that i'm complaining
about your parenting skills or
your eagerness to teach, dad -

but the friend i've gained in you,
at this stage, is worth so much more.

(and you reflect like a mirror)

See my family,
Full of smiles -
They are what the world don’t know.
See my smile,
Signs of pleasure -
Coming to place where anger’s due.
There’s my family,
Laughing together -
Always putting on a lovely show.
Hear my laughter,
Signs of pleasure -
Auto-response when fear is cued.
In a beautiful house we live, love and play,
And I stay in that house, day after day.
See my shadow,
In the tined bay window -
I see beauty outside, but it can’t get in.
There’s laughter in here,
And smiles ever-after;
There’s repression in there,
Behind the dreamy eyes
Of the smiling home.

My lips are sewn shut
By the threads I've woven
Lies I've strung together
Paths I never should have chosen
To walk with you
Hand in hand
Foot in mouth
I've ruined it all
Simply by being silent
When I should have just spoken.
