delicately together, like maps laid

Perth against your Melbourne, your
Bundaberg against my Monkey Mia, our
Northern Territory's finally one, our
South Australia's meet again, your Eastern
Standard Time pressing into my
Western Time, my sunset
beating against your sunrise, your
sun rising swiftly from the right, my
sun rising swiftly from the left, your
moon rising slowly from the left my
moon rising slowly from the right until
all four bodies of the sky
burn above us, sealing us together,
make me yours.
The Second One He showed up, "For you", he smiled.The Second One by ~sarahmm
"Your night in shining armour!"
He showed up, with cute blonde curls,
That silly smile, and no bullshit glamour.
He showed up, intent on saving me.
I wish I'd known then that I didn't need saving.
He showed up, strong and unyeilding.
I should have known then, it wasn't me you were craving.
I hope you like what you've done,
I hope it was worth all the times I've cried.
All the times I lost myself,
and all the times I couldn't face the outside.
I wish you'd cared just a little more,
Wish you hadn't shown up at all,
Wish you knew how far I've fallen.
I wish you didn't have the guts to c
Thanks To Many Men I can’t remember.Thanks To Many Men by ~sarahmm
I won’t remember.
I refuse to feel that pain.
You made me hate myself,
You took my love for me,
for a few hours of power.
This is what I am worth to you.
I’m a thing, temporarily “wanted”.
And now I’m dirty.
Tainted skin, tainted heart.
Tainted love.
I won’t feel this pain.
You let me learn to trust you,
You taught me not to judge.
You were my diary.
Now you teach me not to trust,
Not to care, caring hurts.
You teach me to not love.
Now you teach me the truth -
Men don’t care.
I won’t feel this pain.
I can’t help wondering,
Why does this h
Free Fallin by `giladThe Sea I offered the sea my voice.The Sea by *thewesternwoods
It swallowed it down gratefully,
A rare pearl amongst the ruin and
Decay of all those dead bones.
But soon the sea became ravenous.
It devoured my words without a thought
For the consequences, like how their
Loss would be the death of me.
In time it became a writhing mass of
Feasting teeth, quick to devour the
Gifts that I gave it. Quicker still
To turn away when I held my palms
Empty. Only ever a friend for as long
As the meal lasts.
And all this time, the moon, that
Incandescent fool, sneered and snarled
At my lack of movement. My hands
Stopped working.
The pen lay still, afraid.
