Maybe, if you didn't cling to material things

Maybe, just maybe, you wouldn't have to suffer.

Maybe, I'm just in over my head

And maybe, this fire I tried to burn out, afterall, isn't dead.

Scraping my bones, to claw through the marrow, to seep through my veins

And I feel for you. In and out, out and in, lost in ink on my fingertips

Out and in, in and out, break free from the seams that tell me where I begin.

Maybe...Maybe...Maybe....

Maybe looking at the river, outside of my window

And begging it not to come to my door

Will wisk it away, and make my wings grow

So I can fly again, so I can breathe again, so I can soar.

I don't see the point of cellphones

But this is sacred to you

Cause when she calls...your heart beats faster, making ivy grow

Ivy grows, with its thorns so sharp, I can't pierce your heart.

And you wonder why the steam of frustration grows out of my weary eyes.

Maybe, maybe this will end

My suicide, on the inside, decaying flame.

Afraid to begin, to think my fire is tamed

Maybe it still sparks from within

When the answer, all along, is at the end.

I was so tired today, jet-lagged in fact. for those of you even reading my poetry, still reading it for some of you, you'd know that I always get my best inspiration in Spanish. I don't know why, that class...maybe it's because I have so much to do in there and then I wander off into this cathartic, lethargic thing inside of me, I have no clue. Some people cling to material things, in this case, the person I admire got in trouble for having their cellphone out in class, and I felt crappy when they said they were having a crappy day, even though it wasn't mine and even when they got it back and was having a good day. I don't know what's wrong with me, it was weird. Maybe they'll notice that I suffer when they suffer, I laugh when they laugh, I love what they love. Maybe.

Good symbolism. You've got a way with words that never ceases to amaze me. :)

And, empathy is a powerful drive. I've never been particularly empathetic myself, but for a few people. Then again, I don't make friends easily in the first place. Something tells me that if I were closer to more people, I'd be more empathetic. :P

98% of Deviants don't know the difference between "your" and "you're." If you're one of the 2% that wants to punch 'em, put this in your sig.
