when it snows i think of you the most.

i thought of you today

and watched little tears fall off my nose

it was a sorry sight to see.

when it snows i think of you the most,

good thing it’s summertime.

i dread the first frost

and that cool september day.

remember?

you couldn’t stop fiddling with your napkin.

i only give you the space you ask for

and the day (i hope) you no longer want it

i’ll be running right by your side again,

holding your hand,

not that i haven’t been all along.

Lord knows we make mistakes,

you and i both,

but that’s what best friends are for.

to see each other through them.

atleast that’s what i think..

a recollection.

let go of everything you are
let go of everything you’re used to
let go of comfort
let go of home
forget the pain
forget the worries
and just BE who you are
without all that other crap

you are original
you are authentic
you are timeless
and more full of expression and love than i could ever hope to be
you are classic
the definition of what should never be forgotten,
ever.

rose red.

i guard this castle with all that i have.
with all that i am.
with my whole heart.
to let these walls shatter would be the death of me.
so let me keep my fairy tale ending.

please.
the slipper doesn’t quite fit.
i’m a queen without a crown.
i’m a maiden in a tower without a knight in shining armour.
i am the keeper of this glass castle.

dear,
name me aurora for i’m falling asleep.
name me rapunzel for i feel you’re just out of reach.
name me rose red for i’m the princess no one knows.

a wonder child.

© 2007 iced.tea.

sometimes, i feel…
my heart is glass.
not cold, not hard.
just fragile.
and i feel it could burst,
or explode,
into a million microscopic pieces.
my small body could not hold it in.
they would dance through space,
catching the light perfectly,
creating a blinding light,
casting shadows of every color imaginable
on the faces of all whom i love.
sapphire.
ruby.
emerald.
violet.
a wonder child i would be.
illuminating the world.
and sometimes i don’t want to.
i want to catch each prism
and put it back into it’s place.
for an act so uncontainable
can make me feel so completely overwhelmed
and exposed.
but i let it go.

because

it’s beauty captivates me.
