Why are the shards so eager to attach to my skin?
To make me bleed, then rub it in.
Red canvas,
I'm for sale.
Wet you palet.
Yes it lingers, long after dark.
I'll race you to the spot where the sun meets the stars.
We'll linger knee deep in the dew of this kiss.
Fragile, far beyond what you would expect.

Morning falls hard upon your eyes,
promoting a flicker,
tempting your foilage to catch flame.
But you turn your back and beg the moon for a second chance.

You looked in the mirror and I took a picture.
So I could know how you saw yourself.

Cotton canvas, gentle strokes.
Tommorow kisses yesterday in secret.
Today is born through sin.
But isn't everything...
Isn't everything broken?

Wow. This is the first one I can absolutely say I love.  It has attitude and desire of determination deep within.  Im definitely adding this.  Hell, I might even print it out!

All that is great once was small.

If nothing is something
then everything is
our thoughts and feelings
and all that exists.
