You

You are the reason my blood runs

For my heart beats inly for you.

You are the light in my eyes

For the stars shine when I see you.

You are the spring in my step

As I hurry to get to you.

You are my sweet smile

From the joy when I talk to you.

You are

All the best in me.

Think of me

I speak to you

About you

Shows I care.

I share with you

About you

Shows I'm here.

You

You never even think of me.

Do you?

Situation

By Carly Floyd

3/25/10

This out of body feeling

Took me by surprise.

Is this me I'm feeling?

I can't believe my eyes.

This isn't me- it can't be.

I'm not this kind of girl!

But still, I know, it's happening.

This thing, I know, it's real.

Through the fog around me

I find the will to stop.

To leave this situation

And find which way is up.

Cold

Spring is here

Walking home

Only weeks left in school.

Trees sway.

Sun shines.

God smiles upon the earth.

But I,

I am hurt.

And I promised myself

I wouldn't cry until I got home.

Away from all these people.

Usually

This weather fills me with joy

But I can only remember

All the things that were said.

The comments people made.

Like I couldn't hear.

Like it didn't even matter.

As the wind plays with my hair

And warmth fills me

I want to scream.

I don't want to cheer up!
I can't forget what happened,

Just because the birds sing.

Just because I hear children laughing in the park.

Even though the sun beats down on me,

It doesn't touch me.

Inside, I am cold.

Sighting

When I dream

I dream of you

I see your face in solitude.

And you're here

Standing there

See the wind flying through your hair.

And suddenly, it comes to me

I remember all we used to be

And I wonder

Do you ever think of me?

And yet I stay

Out if sight

And you, none the wiser.

But I was there

In the shadows

Seeking proof that you really do live

Outside of my imagination.

Walking in a haze of my own

reality

Listening to my soul-song

Ahead, my friends

I want to pass them

invisible

to avoid the

inevitable

"What's wrong" the

caring glances.

When I'm fine.

I wear this face because it's beautiful

but they only see a frown.

Brace yourself.

Butterfly Kisses

A veined blue-purple

Shot through with cracks of white

Like I'm inside a crystal

Or behind a wall of

Colored Glass

Chill inside my sanctuary

There's nowhere left to go and

A silent tear

Travels down my cheek

To fall on the marble beneath me

And I wait for months

Wait to emerge

To Become

Something more than what I am

More than me

And I sit

Bated breath

My only distraction in

The fragile butterfly wings

Brushing against my cheek

And finally, I can see beauty
