When hurt
I may break
Like a figurine
May scream
Like a banshee
In gritted teeth
Curse fiercely
Like there's no tomorrow
When it's too much
And I am shaking
All my resolves
Crumble within
I may shed
Niagara of tears
May plead the gods
To send me
A little thunder
To match
The pouring rain
It's given
For my heart,
It is fragile
May shatter a bit
Like a glass
Scattered
On the floor
But what it won't do
Is knock
On your door
Beg for affection
Yes, when hurt
I may roll
But you will never
See me crawl
While I force
Together pieces
That don't fit
If I am not wanted
I will leave
It's that simple
-Simple
(Soon enough, I will learn to love the sound of my footsteps as I walk away from everything that hurts...)

You, you, you!
I feel it in my bones
Crave it in my lips
As it runs wild in my blood
There are things in this life
Euphoric moments stuck
Like they're gonna last
And for me it's all
You, you, you!
So welcome me
In your arms at last!
-Welcome me at last,
Katie, 21:00
Trapped between
The devil
And the deep blue sea
Hear me
Your name
Is all I can utter
Save me from the dumps
As though I am worthy
Of the touch of your hands
Of the glimmer of your eyes
Of the beauty of your smile
Of the shower of your love
Everything you can offer
The whole of October
If you may,
Stay with me
By my side
As though I am worthy
To play with destiny
-By my side,
Katie, 11:00
I hate falling asleep
I stay awake
As much as I can
Reality, it is more beautiful
Far more beautiful
Than my dreams
Now that you're here
With me
-Stay awake,
Katie, 11:25
I used to say
I
Singular
Selfish
In every way
I
Didn't mind
Walking on the pavement
Alone
At night
Ignoring
The cold wind
And the eyes
Darting behind me
They're strangers
Thus unimportant
I
Just walked
Straight
And sturdy
Like
I
Owned every beat
Of my heart
Then
I
Saw you
Oh, my eyes-
They lingered
On your silhouette
Taking shape
In the verge
Of the darkness
You
Materialized
And all the walls
I
Built around me
Crumbled
I
Am exposed
Vulnerable
To the cold
You
Held me
In your arms
Kissed me
Like you know
Where my scars are
At first
I
Was scared
But
You
Blew
My fears away
You said
We
Will traverse the oceans
Discover how deep
Secrets could get
Measure how far
The horizon could stretch
You said
We
So I smiled, undaunted
Trusted
You
Took your hand in mine
Offered my all
Selflessly
You're mine
This time is ours
You
Me
We
Forever
-Of love and pronouns,

You're a little scared? Great. It's a sign from the universe that what you have in mind is worth fighting for.
Proceed.

Sometimes my heart is empty
Sometimes it's full of you
And all the moments in between
I cling into a string
With every gust of wind
Gently, I swing
In my mind I hear you sing
And I am lost
Between the lyrics
Oh you are
A song I can't forget
You're stuck
Deep inside my head
A persisting memory
Your voice resounds
I am lost
Between the emotions you evoke
When my heart is empty
You fill it up again
With feelings more profound
Than the last one it kept
The austerity
Of the lines you sing to me
Stops me from running
Mesmerized by the melody
I am not
The kind of person
Who admires
Singers
And all their poignant lines
But for you
I will make an exemption
For you always fill me
With waves of euphoria
That I forget
The chaos in my head
For you silence
The howlings from the dead
I buried beneath the sands of time
Oh you fill me
With your spilling pieces
And yet
I feel empty
Like I can't get enough
So I spread
Myself like a giant sponge
I'll absorb you
All of you
Until every song you sing
Becomes one
With my poetry
-One with my poetry,
Katie, 22:30
