Luke James - Dancing In The Dark

...when I opened the door

it was pitch black 

only the eyes of a cat

 staring back

Making my way

 to the kitchen,

I lit every pilot

in wait for them 

to hot

RED

I placed my hands

on each burner

fingers dancing about

gripping the flames

a rush flew through

my hand black in burn

this beautiful feeling

to hold fire

tickled my brain

as I doused it

with a glass 

of white stain...

Sam Smith - Leave Your Lover

...A smooth sail

into the stars

my heart felt 

something new

with this man

by my side

would he hurt me?

walk away from me?

like the one before?

I don't know,

but in that moment 

I didn't care

I stopped being scared 

of what might happen

I stopped being scared

His music sailed along
classical, jazz, Sade
with drops of Whitney
I smiled when she came on...
for reasons he'd never know
but it's ok
it's just one song
one singer
and more than one man
can love her too

It got late
we drank some red
and my world changed
the balmy air, the ocean's voice

He grew closer to me

sailing deeper in the night
His hand on my thigh

His blonde hair paled

under the moon

and his eyes

those eyes

looked like

he already knew me

as though he's been waiting

for me

his entire life...

-Note To Self-

...fly...

And the day came when the risk 

to remain tight in a bud 

was more painful than 

the risk it took to blossom.

-Anais Nin

Taylor Swift - Shake It Off

...I colored outside the lines

and I don't feel guilty.

years ago I would

but I'll burn my old self.

I put him on sale, remember??

I ask,

was I meant to do this all along?

I black-swanned last night

Feathers creeping from my back

my lips

I've never seen an S-curve

so beautiful

shoulders so strong

a body 

just for me to own

blue eyes

melting into me

lightly pulling your hair

blonde

my name repeated 

in whispers...

MDNGHT - Breeze

...I just go where the breeze blows

and the thing is I don't care

I'll lay me head down anywhere

nothing really matters

I'll just go where it feels right

your balcony

your hot tub

your bed

speaking about pop-up

fairytales and moods

you stared at me 

and asked what I was thinking

You didn't touch me

and I didn't care

because holding you

was all that mattered

because 

because

nothing really matters

windows down

moon roof wide

I sped home

feeling new

just for the night

or maybe forever

I'm unsure

all I know was that

I was consumed by the atmosphere

far away from here...

-Note To Self-

...Can I really go through with this?

I have to...

Neon Hitch - Yard Sale

I need magic

I need magic

I need magic

I need magic

I need magic

...People have tried to kill me 

a number of times

and I'm sure there are others

that want me dead

I owe no one 

nothing

nothing at all

and for some reason 

their eyes 

still matter

but...

I want that to change

Maybe,

I'll put myself

on sale

rid myself

of everything

I thought I loved

to begin again 

to reclaim my magic

and flower

wetter 

than before

then...

they'll really want me 

six feet under...
