The Ghost Of Too Much

There's not enough soil in the earth for how deep I want to be buried.
There's not enough water in the oceans for how slowly I want to sink.
There's not enough fire in the sun for how brightly I want to burn.
There aren't enough words in my head to say all the things I can't.
There's not enough blood in my body for all I need to bleed.
There's aren't enough couches in the world for how long I want to sleep.
There's not enough life in me, for all I want to live.
All I've had enough of, is you.

  2. I check what you post like a religion. Probably because your words have given me hope again. Thank you for letting me know I'm not the only one who feels the way I do.

  7. It seems like it doesn't take me long before I learn about a friend...enough to just detach myself from them just enough so that they can always be happy, yet close enough they can always come to me if they need help.
