lost letter epidemicyou got this lost letter epidemic  and i've been beginning to wonder  what you would say  
if those twenty six postcards  ever found my doorway.   
(avoiding the question is its own sort of answer  since all you've become are hollowed out memories.)   
-   
before you left, you used to stand  on the edge of the seventh floor balcony  with your feet on the wrong side of the rails  always leaning slightly forward  and as i looked up at you  
the sun would strike gold in your eyes  and the angles of your cheekbones  and i couldn't help but think of you &nbs lost letter epidemic

beautiful mess 
you promised me this is love.   
you used to write messages  
on paper hearts  and hang them from the ceilings  and all of them would make my real heart  beatbeatbeat a little faster.   
lately we've been looking for love in unlikely places  and we've forgotten the words to say.   
so we're breathing in dust that tastes  
like bad intentions and guilty consciences  and i'm stuck searching the shelves  for self help books or envelopes full of apologies  anything to end this silence.   
this isn't beautiful. no, this is a mess.   
my name alway beautiful mess

I can barely breathethere is this wonderful man.  a man with no discernible face.  a man whose words  make me feel like a princess.  he is trapped within the confines  
of a text message.  and sometimes, he leaps out at me  
with  
a silver tongue  and a golden mind.  to take me,  head over heels,  away from thoughts of empty promises  and even emptier years.  toward thoughts of a life  full of optimism.   
I can barely breathe,  
and I fall far too fast.  my mind weakened  by beautiful words  and the thoughts  of a perfect personality.

wallflower 
1.  under her bed, collecting dust  there's a photo album with plastic sleeves  and metal rings  filled with six hundred  and seven scraps of wallpaper  one for everyday that you loved her.   
so last summer  when you called her a wallflower  she couldn't imagine anything more beautiful  until she found out what it really meant  as she faded into the background.   
2.  all of her clocks have stalled  with 11:11 sprayed across their faces  like skies full of stars  but she doesn't make wishes  since she knows that sometimes  they're just wallflower

Thanks! Yes, comments were disabled for that piece. The only in my gallery. But your comments here are quite okay, thank you.

And yes, that song was my anthem about... 7 years ago. :D I'm a different person these days but the name stuck and it's still fairly applicable. I'm glad you know it.

Searching my heart for it's true sorrow
This is what I find to be:
That I am weary of words and people
Sick of the city, wanting the sea.

No apology necessary. :)

Yesh, some classmates and I sang it as part of assessment in both drama and English. 'Twas awesome. :D

Hey, that's cool. I have to say, though, Jewel disappointed me with 'Intuition'. It just seemed... all wrong.

That's because it was. She was experimenting with the pop sound but... um... no. I heard an acoustic guitar version once - that was more familiar.
