Night Time

i bought this journal to write in when i find myself up at night and unable to sleep...

i've written five entries so far, and they all end the same way they begin: you. 

was i too open?

was i too proud?

was i too loud?

was i too giving?

was i too needing?

was i too fast?

or, was it even me? perhaps it was you? but that's irrelevant now that there's no us. 

is it, for the best or for the worst? 

who knows...

the only thing i'll ever know is that i never really knew or will know. 

and it feels like... laying your hands on the last copy of a great book, and it's the last one left in the world, and you're forced to watch it burn, page by page, before you get to finish it.

and then you have to make up the ending in your head... and be content with it.. but you're forever forced to deal with the, "what if?". 

what if?. 

i have pages full of what if's ... 

and the what if's are what keep me up at night. 

i'm up tonight. 

Give Me You

give me you. give me you raw and unfiltered. you in all your explicitness, and no, don't touch up your edges. those edges... your edges cut me like glass... and i've drank glass after glass, but your taste i can't wash down... see i drank you like the antidote, but you turned out to be the poison.. you're going to be the death of me.. guess it's only fair; cause you brought life to me... now you have me talking like i lost it, but in reality i just found it. "what are you on?". i'm on you. you. you. you.
