faking it...


this last weekend i had an amazing time
there are few times i really let go
living in the moment
letting my emotions be free

few people can truly bring this out in me
my best friend
my wife
a few lovers
my puppies
baby

most times i will only be free when i trust
but once and awhile it's risk
but one i am willing to take
it is usually not worth it
but i have learned to recover quickly...

i took a risk
i had fun
a lot of it

my heart is fine
i think it is numb
and some part of me likes that
i don't want to hurt....again

 i think it would be easier to fake it
all of it
happiness
love
passion
emotion

don't get me wrong...
i am happy...alone
with me
my life
my wife
my friends
the simple life

i do what i want
when i want
with who i want

but something is missing...
my fairytale....
my once upon a time....

and i don't think it exists
but i will still wait
holding on to hope

because without hope
faith
we have nothing...

 and hopefully there will come a time 
when i won't be let down
brushed aside
 they will hold on with all they have

because i am not worth losing
they will chose to stay
and we won't be faking it... 

"and they loved with a love that was more than love" -- Edger Allen Poe


love in a box...

 
it's easy to see how everything is loosely
put into a box to describe how
well it is working
but can you tell me
how did she knock me off of my feet
when she said hello
my name is beautiful
i said excuse me miss but it's time for me to hit the floor
and now this dancing has turned to falling
words can't do justice to this girl i know

and it's those deep breaths that get me through the times
she's standing next to me
she's nothing short of lovely
does she notice that i can't breathe
everything around me is getting hazy

i'll loosen up my tie
no use in being shy

so take one petal at a time
and toss it to the ground
closer now, i'll touch your lips to mine
and feel how we have to hold our breath
to make sure we don't miss one moment tonight

under this moonlight
i can see the mystery behind your eyes
with every taste girl, well i delight in you
and yet this distance
that separates my hand from yours
can only make me appreciate your heart
i adore you

so take one petal at a time
and toss it to the ground
closer now, i'll touch your lips to mine
and feel how we have to hold our breath
to make sure we don't miss one moment tonight

quiet now, she's fast asleep
and to my arm she's clinging
you're mine girl
and my heart is yours

so take one petal at a time
and toss it to the ground
closer now, i'll touch your lips to mine
and feel how we have to hold our breath
to make sure we don't miss one moment tonight

life...

"My life didn't please me, so I created my life."  - Coco Chanel

i have never understood those that are not happy 
with something, someone
and are not willing to change the circumstance  

if i am not happy 
i change 
move on
progress

i create happiness
strive for contentment
and live for myself

if there is anything i have learned in the last 2 years
it's that no one can make you happy
but happiness is within your own soul

chose to be happy
live and love with reckless abandon
be true to yourself

pain fades
friends come and go
relationships end

but if you love yourself
i promise you'll make it through
no matter the darkness -- light will come

and the light -- it always wins...
so hold on
because it gets better

always...

crazy...

i have said many times that girls are crazy
but this week -- i feel completely insane

i want to crawl out of my skin
and totally lose it

scream at the top of my lungs because i feel like it
cry over nothing and everything all at once

i'm ready to just feel normal again...
