    Trick of the Lights...
    She's the kind of girl
    with a laugh
    like magic, shooting from an artist's inkstroke.
    The kind of girl
    who swears she wont have kids,
    yet has the names all picked out.
    We'll go on forever,
    laughing at ourselves,
    giggling at the glittering moon
    in darkness as sheer as the
    veil creating the illusion of a smile.
    Obliterating everything on our minds.
    Everything about her screams,
    touch me. hold me. im BROKEN.
    I refrain,
    more for her sake than mine.
    My seatbelt of doubt keeps me from leaning
    too far out in the aisle.
    Maybe I love her.
    Maybe I'm falling for her.
    Maybe I fell a long time ago.
    Or maybe it's all just a trick of the lights...

    OMG! that was absolutely amazing, i would never have guessed you were you from the way you write, you have a way with words the makes me look past your numerical age and see the person that you are... you may not have many years on you but you certainly write with the soul of someone who has seen much... great write i hope to see more like this

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
