*RITUAL*
i laughed and i didn't mean it.
i cried and it didn't hurt.
i'm angry but i can't hate you...
i've known you way too long
i smiled but i was numb to the feeling.
i tried but would not succeed.
i cringe and i go through the motions...
lock the pain up tight inside.
i looked but managed not to see.
i fell while sitting on the ground.
i ruined everything about it...
that's just my way of doing things.

*ENVY*
filtering through what was left is now, right now
beyond empty spaces and what used to be can't blame that any more, and won't
forgetting it all and understanding that's just why it was
why it was that every thing came apart then
so that what is could be now, right now
extending out expanding - falling
mystery abounding and no question why
just accepting that it is - now, right now
(c)kate
*ALMOST*
when i close my eyes the world forgets
where i am and so he disregards my existance
at least that's what i wished
when my sky was purple yours was grey
and you lost count of the directions
and lost count of my missing pieces
pull closed the blinds
hold back the sun
light the way with darkness just like always
it's easier to not see
the things that you wish weren't there
how simple
how convenient
when you can't get up i'll be there to sit beside you
but you won't see me
because i'll close my eyes
and being my world, you'll forget.
(c)kate
*Face It*
I've finally decided that from this day on
I'm not going to take it from you
not from you or from anyone else in this small town
such narrowminded pettiness
on the outside looking in
what a load of bull
why would anyone want this for themselves or their children.
I'm being cynical and bitter today
just like a few days ago
a few months ago
when i was pushing it down like vomit
that's what it is
just a smelling mush of what life's suposed to be about.
When I'm with him i feel like the rest of that is gone
like it doesn't matter
that life's something to be embraced
not crammed into a thickly sheltered brain
FORGET ABOUT IT! MOVE ON!
is anyone going to care 10 years down the road.
I want to run away and go to where he is
i watched him sleeping and i felt like if i died
right then and there that everything would be okay.
maybe i'm crazy
maybe everyone thinks i'm not right.
But ya' know what? I DON'T REALLY CARE.
at least not anymore.
(c)kate
*If you Couldn't Tell*
i'm sick and tired of talking about it
about how good it is and how great you are
about all that mushy love shit no one explains to us
yes it happens but the breaking of hearts is so much worse
than twisting nails and broken glass
it has another side that most pretend doesn't exist
it's the dark part
what appears when you lose every single thing you work for
it's cheap
so damn cheap
so what if i'm not happy
that's how life gets sometimes
and it's not about clothes or music or money
or any of that petty bullshit i could live without
and here i go i'm a constant contradiction
of everything i say and believe in and at one time or another
it's all been questioned
but i won't tell if you won't.
(c) kate
*Living Again, And NOT On The Moon*
life's so damn confusing like you
being so sweet how could anyone not fall
what a smile what a smile what a look you gave
maybe you tried and maybe you didn't
but i caught it and i kept it for myself
and now i'm living on those moments
when you care and i get a tiny taste of what i was missing
all that time was just a waste before
now what i want from you is too much to say
the sad part is
is that i don't think that you're trying
and i'm making it all up in my mind
the sad part is
is that i want you more than anyone
you probably don't see because no one knows but me...
if you found out i don't know what you'd do
and it's so close i could almost reach up
and feel your lips
but we won't go there
because it's all for me to know, and you to find out on your own.
(c)Kate
*Last Hint*
it was lost in the gap of so much time
between forever and never it sat for days and weeks
lonely
as a heart could bare to be baring all
open and wounded
but suddenly it came again in different form
although i seem to be the only one who feels it's there
in certain moments
overestimated and overshot but still
a beautiful place to want to be
driven to that point where you can't let go or move on
(yet times have come when you've had to let go)
it seems, though, that the epitome was found and now
it's too hard to pass up
even though it's quite possible that the chance for it all
could never come again
but you don't know
because i haven't said.

c r y i n g
again
when it left for a m o m e nt
it was enough once
and it will
always & forever
be
just that way
enough at least for a teardrop or two
on flowers
at midnight
in the little snowflakes, the really little ones
and memories come
when they really aren't needed
again and over again
a tight throat follows with her signal of salty calvary
down a burning
stained face
that doesn't match her hair
and in pictures she's happy and she's laughing for real
looking almost beautiful....
in a way, it's all like it should be in an unexpected
clattered puzzle
that some bad kid messed up
while everyone else (herself included) was at recess
on the playground
in the snow
as little snowflakes, the really little ones
dance around the sun
and the stars close their eyes
somehow they might get burned,
and they forgot their sunscreen.
(c) Katie
*DECEMBER - The coldest winter yet*
AND in that same moment
it was gone
grantedhadtakentoomuchtime
now...it was just plain
canvas
someday when true happiness returns
somehow
it would be okay again
*with or *without
(c) Kate
*12:42*
where did the wind go capturing time so we think we've misplaced it
under old books and unwashed clothes and forgotten pictures of never again
beneath weeks of dust and worries closing in on unsolid ground
beyond the horizon somewhere
with hidden pleasures and glipmses of severe happiness
wrongs and regrets beside moments when we wish we could take it all back
to say what we didn't get to say, or laugh when it meant the most
to steal away all of the hurt and hide it way up on the top shelf
where we ourselves could never reach it, or for that matter, use it on anyone else
those times are so far behind us
full of memories and life we never knew we lived
yet, we know not just how much time stands beyond our breath
even then we take for granted the sweet and innocent time of our youth
and bend it to break
then we forget the time....and today is just a yesterday gone.

*AFTERMATH*
out of this world a heavenly state of being not only who i was but who i've become
a different way but the same old smile...the same taste
better than anything before that moment like the first
left and right interchanging and such beautiful confusion
remembering everything that was filling the cold sky
it all comes rushing back like nothing that has ever consumed me
a ball of energy quivering and shaking and spinning from it all
you've gotta feel it gotta be there to know exactly
like listening to those songs that make you cry every time
just because you can't see it, doesn't mean it's not there.
©Kate
*FOREVER*
where did all of this time come from
born so that it could come and go so quickly
like tiny grains of sand slipping from a pale hand
struggling in the water for some purpose to remain
sunsets come and go so quickly
leaving no traces of beauty as they fall
darkness made worse with lonely hours piled high
a sunburn on the eyes leaking tears that long for something
trust laid out like a pathway barely traveled
everything is missing...everything is different
from the times spent gazing towards unknown stars
breathless and strangled by the night
so perfect and untouched by corruption of those minds
thinking that all good things have endings...
but still, there is no believer here
where all good things can forever be etched in memories
and when looking back, they speak to eternity.
©Kate
*JUNE*
like a rose needs the rain, i reach for you
the sky's too far away
breathless wind haunts with echos of memories
sorrow stricken deep within a restless time
i can't hold back the poison that surrounds and forces my eyes to close
and remember everything that was, and will always be there
sun-scorched red velvet...dying without you
i never believed summer could be so cold
or my mind so empty; my page void of words
this feeling so unforgetable and so hard to erase from my skin
but with the rose, i'll wait for the rain.
©Kate
*Disorder*
Totally fake
outside & in
wrongly accused right
lies and
empty affection
in those
hopeless eyes
broken bones and
chunks of soul-less flesh
bottom-less
dark ash holes
unplaced blame
chains and torn
minds that can't see
anything horrible
starving emotionally
and
physically
no life food to
nurish
the
unfinished unthought untrusting
words where
fear is deeply
rooted
to nothing
but marrow and skin.
©Kate
*plain*
driven crazy
like nails
on a
chalkboard.
chills
heat
hands
eyes
locking
looking
holding
there
in that moment
world spinning
left us floating
dropping
falling
no turning back
the walls
will
soon crumble
up from hidden fire
confessed
to truth
behind the lies
they can't see
what
we
know.
©Kate
*don't be*
I'm sorry
I'm not beautiful.
I'm sorry
I'm not the girl i feel like.
I'm sorry
I cry too much.
I'm sorry
I'm so confusing.
I'm sorry
I can't even figure me out.
I'm sorry
my heart just won't quit making me like this.
I'm sorry
I can't be okay.
I'm sorry
so much is going on.
I'm sorry
I don't know what to do.
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect.
I'm sorry
she sits and smiles
while she has never been here
trying..losing and gaining.
She smirks at me.
I'm sorry
I feel like a ghost.
I'm sorry
I can't quit breathing.
©Katie
*Frustrated*
you feed me the same sweet words
for the millionth time in a row:
I know how good they should taste
but all that's there is bitterness.
my eyes are swelling again
tears i love to hate
an old accomplice to a new-found pain.
there goes my heart again
squeezing the life out of my soul
stinging with each pulsation
making me angry with you-
that you could do this to me.
is it too hard for you to comprehend?
is there some kind of connection that you just aren't making?
i've tried to spell it out as clearly as can be
but i still feel like you're trying to push me away
like you don't want me to know any of the bad things-
any of the secrets
that's what i'm here for:
to confide in.
Yet you still think that one more moment by myself
couldn't hurt.
But it does.
It hurts like hell.
It hurts to know that you're there, when i'm just over here.
It hurts when you've got to suck back tears because you've already cried too much today.
It hurts because i guess this is what it is to miss you.
It hurts because I'm frustrated with you. I'm trying, ya' know?
I'm just a little lost, that's all.
©Kate
*Explanation*
An angels
tiny
wings
left a
sweet
taste
in the
cold
night air.
God's tears
frozen
in forgiveness
rained
down and
told us
it
was
all right.
Magic dust
falling -
glimmering
on
a natural
high.
Unexperienced,
melting pot
overheated.
Left of
the
middle
but still all
there...
lost
in
the moment but
found
in the same.
©Kate
*Make Me*
Make me tremble
Within your arms
Make me restless
In my sleep
Make me scream
Beneath my skin
Make me stumble
When I need the language
Make me courageous
Even when I'm scared
Make me truthful
When I see your face
Make me sin
As the stars ascend the sky
Make me beautiful
In the way only you can
Make me laugh
When I need some strength
Make me want
You
And only you.
©Kate
*Inside*
Face

face
and in-between...
under

below
behind
beyond..
somewhere...
caught up
left behind
harmed
hurt
hated
sworn to be true...
trusted
tamed
worn-out
old
new
small
above it all...
screaming
screeching
howling
crying
holding
wishing it weren't....
forgotten
remembered
touched
but not felt...
believed
knew
saw
tasted in the heart...
needed
falling
bent
left for dead...
gone
vanished
disappeared
lost
goodbye...
forever
and
a day
isn't enough...
time
is
too late.

*Reaching Distance*
Gliding and spinning
twisting
and bending
Pushing and pulling
falling
and reaching
Dreaming and hoping
searching
and wanting
Grasping and holding
finding
and losing
Caring and hating
loving
and fearing
that the world you know
could someday turn upside-down
and everything
you hold dear
will be gone.
But if you're careful
and always keep trying
nothing you have
or need
will ever be too far out of reach.
©Katie
*Frightened Heart*
my throat is tight.
my eyes are watering.
my tongue is thick.
my hands are shaking.
my heart doesn't know.
she thinks she's wrong.
she thinks she's true.
but when it really comes down to it,
she doesn't know who she is
where she's going
or where she's been.
i yearn for what i recieve.
feeding off invisible pray...
myself.
i am my own victim.
i turn my heart away from all that i've known
and all that i want.
she's tired
and worn,
although every now and then
she skips a beat
and makes me smile.
how can it be
that i've done this?
how could i do this to someone
i've always tried to be true to...
me.
i am my own protector.
i could only save my heart
from the things she doesn't need to be saved from.
©Katie
*What's going on?*
Blank.
From the brain down.
Fumbling numbly
in a space filled with nothing.
Tripping over my own thoughts.
Stumbling over the words.
I corner myself.
Let out a deep, echoing scream.
Let the burning tears
follow a rippling stream
down my trembling face.
I convulse.
confusion rips my throbbing heart
in the most horrific ways.
I need to go on.
The memory won't let me be.
Why?
Why is there such a power over me?
Was leaving a mistake?
Were we supposed to stay?
Time can only tell the future.
Not what should have,
or might have been.
©Katie
*Within*
Put your superficial face forward.
you know,
the one that's beneath that makeup.
beneath the skin.
beneath the truth.
Look not at your faults
but at the things you think
are wrong with other people.
Things that are different from your views.
Things that you know you could never achieve.
You're scared because
maybe
someone
can do something better than you.
Maybe someone is so unique and beautiful
that you are too frightened to admit
that's something you could never be.
Deep down inside
the very marrow
of what makes you tick,
you know that what you've been doing
has been wrong from the beginning.
Sometimes i think
that i've become something
i've always warned myself of.
Because i've seen my world
from the outside,
i know
how fake it actually looks.
It's tough.
it's hard to maintain.
you think you know who you can trust,
but realize it's all just a scam
that's hidden behind the superficial
faces.
They smile
but the true pain lies within.
