And Falling is for those without wings

Discern (v.):

I don’t want to make roots.

I push you away.

I leave.

Perhaps it’s the reason I don’t look you in the face.

If I don’t see you, you can’t see me

But now,

I’m looking directly at the

Lions tooth.

Florescence (n.):

I could tell you I’ve spent my days looking for things larger then myself; but to be honest things larger then myself are too grand, and in the things I strive for, I’m looking for patches for the absences in myself.

As if something could ever make me satisfied.

As if there’s a patch big enough for this gentle heart.

Maybe that’s the irony. I’m too big and too small at the…

Insomnia (n.):

Another night Sleepless Another hour Spent wondering

I saw your name and couldn’t help but wonder

Do you even think about me? Should I send you a message?

Instead I’ll look at the name attached to your picture on the screen and lay

Sleepless

Inexplicable (adj):

Yo no te puedo decir si siempre voy a sentir así Aunque pueda resultar que no eres el amor de mi vida Tu eres el gran amor en este instante Quiero perderme en tu momento

Insomnia (n.):

I stayed up all night and didn’t think of you once I thought I’ve finally done it Yet here I am. It’s 3am, thinking about you one more time

Submerge (v.):

The same me that wishes you’d come back tells me to stay far away How much longer can I sink before I start to fade away?

Drifting (v.):

I had a dream in which you left me. And deep down I know there is no we. I guess it’s true that people don’t say what they mean.

Engrossing (adj):

I don’t think you’ve realized how much you’ve bleed into my life You’re the stains that seep out of my Watercolor brush You’re the cup that’s over filled, That I stupidly still haven’t stopped pouring into

Clarify (v): You tell me to get over it. How can I? It was you who would not forgive me for forgetting a lunch date. It was you who got angry when I went to your spot with someone else. It was you that flipped when a tragedy meant a possibility of extra screenings to keep a gun. It was you that demanded a birth certificate because I did not look like you. It was you that told me I was on my…

Benumb (v.): You ask me to accept you when you are unable to take me seriously. You refuse to listen to me          when I have done nothing but scream so loud a person a nation away feels a whisper. You intent to hush me         like a new born child. But I am not an apple you can pluck. I am the forbidden tree.
