Boulevard of Broken Dreams

I walk alone. I walk alone. It is the darkest day I've ever seen. My clothes and hair are dripping wet in the somber rain. I left my jacket back three miles with my broken heart. While I shiver, I see the goals I never went for. The weaknesses I never overcame. In the middle of the street lays a piano that has never been mastered. A wet paper is crumpled in the gutter--a song never sung by my voice. Dance shoes never worn are in the trash. The chances I never took are fluttering around my head. I walk alone. It's dark and dull and silent. Cluttered. Blurry. No color, no life. I never wanted to end up here. Maybe if I keep walking, maybe it'll disappear. Then there are people, but it's like they don't see me. I'm invisible. I walk alone. I see all the people who I didn't give a chance. I see all those I didn't give my time to. I see those i didn't love as I should have. A paper filled with important words never spoken, flies away in the wind. I see the reflection of what could've been in a muddy puddle. A dark window reflects the dreams I never pursued. Still, I walk alone. I see a flower and it seems to be the only beautiful thing left. But it is drooping, drowned from the downpour. Most of me wants to drop onto the soggy mud and curl up. But, maybe if I keep walking? Or maybe I will be forever walking through my regrets.

Thinking About You

I'm thinking about you. I'm thinking about you like bare feet think about the warm sand on the beach. Like sand thinks about the foamy waves. I'm thinking about you like rainbows think about colors. Like thunderstorms think about rain. Like the 4th of July thinks about fireworks. I'm thinking about you like monsters think about closets and the underside of a bed. Like children think about monsters. Like teenagers think about sleep. I'm thinking about you like February thinks of spring. Like spring thinks of new beginnings. Like hearts think about love. Like people think about the future. I'm thinking about you like songs think of lyrics. Like sweet lovers think of the first time they met. Like you think about me. I'm thinking about you like the sun thinks of meeting the horizon of another day. Like mountains think of meeting the horizon of a sunset. Like lovers think of walking hand and hand in the dying light. I'm thinking of you like that song I can't get out of my head. Like a regret thinks of only if. Like a song thinks about being sung. I'm thinking about you like I think about the rest of my life. Like every other girl thinks about being your wife. Like I think about being your wife. I'm thinking about you like the night sky thinks about stars. Like I think about the stars in both of our eyes as we gaze at the stars. I'm thinking about you like I can't stop thinking. Like you are the only thing worth thinking about all the time. I'm thinking of you. <3

Direct Orders

You are under direct orders to rock the heck out!!! Rock out like you've been sick your entire life and you have miraculously healed. Rock out like it's 2:14 and it's the last day of school. Rock out like it's your last day of high school. Rock out like you are graduating and you thought it would never happen. Rock out like it is 2012, the world is ending, and this is the last chance you have to rock out. Rock out like you never have to do homework again. Rock out like you just did something you didn't imagine you could do. Rock out like everyone is proud of you. Rock out like you have a chance to relax and breathe from the craziness of life. Rock out like it's the weekend and you don't have to babysit your siblings. Rock out like it's been the longest day and it is time for bed. Rock out like you thought you forgot something but you actually remembered it. Rock out like you will always remember the greatest memories. Rock out like time is up but you had enough. Rock out like you have been flirting with him since elementary school, and he finally asked you out. Rock out like she said yes. Rock out like your parents just gave you permission to be out all night. Rock out like you had the chance to easily see every single person you missed right now. Rock out like you finished a project early, like you finished a project barely in time. Rock out like it's all you have left. Rock out like no one is watching, like everyone is watching. Rock out like you just got a hug from your favorite person. Rock out like you are in love. Rock out like you met David Archuleta and he wants to be your friend. Rock out like you have cancer and they just discovered the cure. Rock out like you have accomplished your goals. Rock out like it's the happiest moment of your life. Rock out like you just finished the hardest thing you thought you would ever do. Rock out like you've discovered a new passion. Rock out like you're happy with yourself. Rock out like you're genuinely happy for a friend. Rock out because you can.
