Help

It's amazing
How we lie
To ourselves
Sometimes
Because
We love someone
So much

The things
We overlook
The facts
Circumstances
The words
Coming out
Of their mouths

I asked
And never liked
What people
Had to say
I dug my own grave
And now
I'm ready to be buried
Just to stop
The pain

Inspiration

You come
From many places
A dried pattern of liquid droplets
By the sink
(Probably contact solution)
A weather worn wall
With faded graffiti
A painting of wax
Melted in a new way

Inspiration
You are born
Of my heart
And my imagination
Most fertile
When my heart
And my mind
Are filled with love

And lately,
Inspiration,
I've been so full
I've never known
A feeling like this
So complete
And uncomplicated
So simple
And unconfused

And when I allow
Everything else
To fall away from it
It stands gigantic
And gorgeous
Immovable
And so complete
Yet,
Somehow,
Still growing

I am in awe,
Inspiration,
Of this place
Where you are born
And reborn
Rising like a phoenix
But each time
Leaving your mark
Before bursting into flame

I love,
Dear Inspiration,
And therefore,
You live

Stay with me,
Okay?
