well here i go, i havent written in forever, as if any one reads my blogs... but tonight is the night...tonight its all about me.. i am...i am me, and im going to write what this broken heart is saying, so loud im sick of hearing its screamsfamily: 1. A fundamental social group in society typically consisting of one or two parents and their children. 2. Two or more people who share goals and values, have long-term commitments to one another, and reside usually in the same dwelling place.hmm sounds just like mine...all statistics and logic that fundamentally make up what we call the foutch family, but no one sees deep into the surface and stares at the inner justice that continues to murk inside each one of us....we are all together messed up in our own way held together by the common goal that one day...some day...it will all work out and we will be stronger...ofcourse the mother of this family is not willing to admit to change for any long periods of time, half the family is flunked out, the other striving for perfection to match the appreciation bestowed upon the prodigy son....if one is forced to respect another in terms of due process do es that make it work...does that make it right....or does it just make us low?then theres the relationship the one that continues to grow with each new spark i fall in love again every day and yet im still searching for my perfect romance, even when its staring me in the face, and yes he is the one...im quite if not completely certain, of course there can always be the arguement that yes i am young....but i also know what i essentially want out of life...andrew is part of that moldhow bout friends....ha to dig deep into that inner core you would find nothing more than a broken heart that was broken too many times by too many people who i stupidly gave my trust to and my heart....i always find myself somehow doing, running headlong into something i want so badly to mean something but in the end proves itself the opposite of my burning desires....but then i meet her, and she can save me finally from the pitfall of destruction, the problem is im not willing to give her anything because i have so little left so now she is the victim and im the heartless friend...ironic must i sayand what about jake.....ive forgotten about you long enough to forget why i need tothen there is the busy part of my life the school that i desperately need to go on, i love to learn its a passion of mine that broke out of its shell this year, its not so much a priority anymore than it is a strong hold in obtaining my sanity...so why am i fearing college...i fear its too hard buti know thats not right for what can be harder then what i set my capacity mentally and allow it to be...nothing...im recieving BULK mail i mean at least 5-6 letters A DAY...and my dream school Denver University actually wants me to chekc them out...but the problem is i also havea nother dream that sadly doesnt include andrew. agnes school for women..o god how i would love to thrill in their intelectual delights...but its in georgia and andrew is in colorado and im screwed...if i left him i know he would feel id idnt care enough to stay, because i cane asily go to college here...grr decisions decisions! and work, i am unable to promote the hand gesture i would attach to your portion being this is writtenso i wrote about my life but i didnt write about me, something i always ends up doing when someone asks how i am and what im doing....what i would really like tot ell them is how lost and confused i am, how each day to bring myself out from underneath my bed is a constant struggle , to put on each layer of clothing as if i was covering the open wounds that scrounge my soul...but ofcourse thats giving them more then they ask for..or so it seems, and i reply with, ay imdoing great and tell them about work and school family(which no matter how much they dont want to hear it i tell them is in sorry condition) and sometimes i show them the promise ring andrew gave me....but i dont ever dare to tell them about me...but i know each day when i close my eyes and try to drift off to the time in my life that i actually dont have to think....thought i hav ebeen getting painful dreams....i know that the next i will wake up drag myself from my cold bed and cover my wounds, for know one needs to see them....and know that as long as no one feels them...im ok..and thats all i need

i love my readers though
The morning sun's about to break
I'm looking in as you create someone
You lift your head and brush your teeth and make your bed
As if you won't sleep again
You fix your hair and tie your shoes
And tuck your shirt and now you feel new
The glass is full, the glass is broke
And every day desolves and there's no hope
Of ever leaving this temporary life
Of ever leaving this temporary life
Life, life, life, life
You may ask yourself: is there anyone so alone
That there's no beep before the dial tone
When you pick it up to see who called
If there is, its probably your Mom
Oh the rising sun brings little change
To this city with a stolen name
And you're wondering who's bright idea
It was to pack your things and leave your friends and move Down here
well let me turn this table around
and sit down to face this unknown
let me gaze into those brown eyes
tell me your secrets, even if they are lies
dont scare me away with your spurious decisions
that affect my every move
are you here with me
or have you lost that motive
ive gone away for the night
i might stay there forever
lost in this dream of life
and trading my future for never
come fly with me
isnt that what my future is adding up to
i dont wish to fly
i dont wish anything but to be where im suppose to be
but where is that
i cant seem to drag myself away from this melodramatic consequence
im sleeping too much
not crying enough
im holding onto what ive believed is true
but im losing it all
ive lost it all in you
i just got back from brazil
it broke my heart
and made my life
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain I like watchin the puddles gather rain And all I can do is just pour some tea for two And speak my point of view but its not sane, its not sane I just want someone to say to me I'll always be there when you wake Ya know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today So stay with me and I'll have it made And I don't understand why I sleep all day And I start to complain that theres no rain And all I can do is read a book to stay awake It rips my life away but its a great escape...escape... All I can say is that my life is pretty plain You don't like my point of view Ya think that I'm insane Its not sane... its not sane I just want someone to say to me I'll always be there when you wake Ya know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today So stay with me and I'll have it made
i dont miss you, i miss who i thought you were.....
im walking away, and thats the easiest part, the hardest is knowing you wont be running after me...
I thought I saw a man brought to life
He was warm, he came around like he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
Well you couldn't be that man I adored
You don't seem to know, don't seem to care what your heart is for
But I don't know him anymore
There's nothing where he used to lie
My conversation has run dry
That's whats going on, nothing's fine I'm torn
I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
You're a little late, I'm already torn
So I guess the fortune teller's right
Should have seen just what was there and not some holy light
To crawl beneath my veins and now
I don't care, I have no luck, I don't miss it all that much
There's just so many things that I can't touch, I'm torn
I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
You're a little late, I'm already torn. Torn.
There's nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That's what's going on, nothings right, I'm torn
I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel
I'm cold and I'm ashamed bound and broken on the floor
You're a little late, I'm already torn.
im buried so deep in this ashen puddle
im yearning for more then what im given
im falling deeper then i was into a grave distant, and future heartbreak, and manipulative crossing road. im hurt im crying im broken
but worst of all
im cutting
Now and again it seems worse than it is, but mostly the view is accurate. You see your breath in
the air while you climb up the stairs to that coffin you call your apartment. And you sink in your
chair, brush the snow from your hair and drink the cold away. You are not really sure what you
are doing this for but you need something to fill up the days. A few more hours. There is a
dream in my brain that just won't go away. It has been stuck there since it came a few nights
ago I'm standing on a bridge in the town where I lived as a kid with my mom and my brothers.
And then the bridge disappears and I'm standing on air with nothing holding me. And I hang like
a star, fucking glow in the dark, for all those starving eyes to see, like the ones we've wished on.
But now I'm confused. Is this death really you? Do these dreams have any meaning? No. No, I
think it is more like a ghost that has been following us both. Something vague that we are not
seeing, something more like a feeling.
today is a new beginning
im still blurred by yesterday's old
im hurting for this new feeling
the one ive burned into my soul
this life is less then ordinary, a frequent reminder i set aside
but im still lost in the extrodinary
everytime your looking into my eyes
im totally perplexed and have fallen from blissful peace to anxiety like no other...i have this knot that swells inside of me and im unable to find the directions of untying it.
i passed co 36 tonight, that blissful highway that once lead me to home when i was so lost...no becomes my friend again, but one i want to travel to run away from everything im stuck battling at home
rain rain go away come again another day, because im too tired and im to cold to last through your pouring vain
Carlos-
remember when we first heard this song with timmy? never thought i would picture your face when i heard it....
I see the picture clear now, the fog has lifted.
The wool you tried to pull over my eyes was clever.
Yeah you're gifted.
But you forgot to dot some I's, and cross some T's along the way.
I'm better now despite you baby.
I'm stronger these days.
Stronger.
I survived the crash.
Survived the burn.
Survived the worst, yeah baby, but I learned.
Survived the lies.
Survived the blues.
Almost killed me, but I survived the truth.
And when you wrote me off like I was doomed.
I survived you.
I can look in the mirror now.
It's been a slow awakening.
Haunted by a heart full of you, couldn't help mistaking.
That you could ever care for anyone.
Anyone but yourself. Hey.
But you would have to have a conscience baby.
Good luck I wish you well.
I survived the crash.
Survived the burn.
Survived the worst, yeah baby, but I learned.
Survived the lies.
Survived the blues.
Almost killed me, but I survived the truth.
And when you wrote me off like I was doomed.
I survived you.
This heart has been torn in two.
Cut and bruised.
With too many bitter endings.
I'll be damned if I have thoughts of you
Rain on my new beginning.
I survived the crash.
Survived the burn.
Survived the worst, yeah baby, but I learned.
Survived the lies.
Survived the blues.
Almost killed me, but I survived the truth.
And when you wrote me off like I was doomed.
I survived you.
Joshua-
o, baby, how i want to hold you now and whisper to you that everything is okay, but thats the thing everythng isnt ok, and probally wont be in a while. when i read about your cutting i wanted to cry, just knowing my own personal struggle, its so hard to see someone else and realize they have that pain too. i dont feel sorry for people most of the time, but my heart longs to you, just knowing i cant help you. reassuring words in the end are just.....words, they arent going to fix a broken heart, mend the seams of others decietful work. your too far away right now to hold, to kiss, 'to crawl in bed with', but remember the want is still there. what i want is too offer some peaceful chrisitian advice, but i know i hate that when i hear it. so what im going to say is i wish icould kiss each scar away, dull each sharp object, and hold both your hands so you cant do anything....and since im not there right now to do, imagine i am each time you pick something up, when your tempted, imagine im holding your hands, or im right infront of you....would you deliberatly hurt me by cutting yourself...look at it that way, your hurting me by hurting you.
life is a mess, when is it not? ive been at peace with myself once, and guess what that lasted o about less then a month. life isnt ever going to be easy, but trust me it gets better, just wait....be a patient person my love.
imgoing to bed now because you didnt get on or call back, im sure nothing i said really affected you any, but i pray that it did. i wish i could crawl in your lap and just hold you, rest my head against your shoulder and take in your scent.....remember the beautiful things in life still exist and are longing to stare you straight in the eyes.
always,
Qwyla
"TO BE IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD IS TO BE LOVED PURELY AND FURIOUSLY. AND A PERSON WHO THINKS HIMSELF UNLOVEABLE CANNOT BE IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD BECAUSE HE CAN"T ACCEPT WHO GOD IS; A BEING THAT IS LOVE. WE LEARN THAT WE ARE LOVEABLE OR UNLOVEABLE FROM OTHER PEOPLE THAT IS WHY GOD TELLS US SO MANY TIMES TO LOVE EACHOTHER" ~Donald Miller, Blue Like Jazz
I lay down
And I close my eyes
But I won't go to sleep tonight
There's too much on my mind
Holy God
You seem to be twice as far away from me
Than you have ever been before
Hold me safely in Your arms
And clear my crowded mind
And whisper words of peace
In the dark
Whisper to me
Oh, whisper
I'm afraid but they don't know it
I feel so weak
But I can't show it
So here I lay
Crying out with hears
Hold me gently in Your arms
And calm my beating heart
And whisper words of hope
In the dark
Whisper to me
Oh, whisper
Whisper
Make the day sleep
Make the noise cease
And give me peace
Whisper to me
How I need to hear You whisper
Whisper to me
Oh, Whisper
Hold me gently in Your arms
And calm my beating heart
And whisper words of hope
In the dark
Whisper to me
Words of hope
Words of peace
Whisper to me
can you see the way i shine from far
a melody untrue
but you dont know what i hide
is a secret so corrupt
my very being shrinks in self pity
im unaware of these hurting lies
the ones i tell each day
waiting in a new form of breathing
my own eternal passion
undergo my self blame
The seed of death grows slowly within me. Painlessly, whispering to me in tiny, choking breaths.
I'm not listening.
Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight
Everything, it felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong
Now I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these broken eyes
I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright
For once in my life
Now all that's left of me
Is what I pretend to be
So together, but so broken up inside
'Cause I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hangin' on
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these broken eyes
Swallow me then spit me out
For hating you, I blame myself
Seeing you it kills me now
No, I don't cry on the outside
Anymore...
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these broken eyes
Heaven bend to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight
Truth be told I've tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear
Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...
We all begin with good intent
Love was raw and young
We believed that we could change ourselves
THe past could be undone
But we carry on our backs the burden
Time always reveals
The lonely light of morning
The wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
That I have held so dear.
I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...
Heaven bend to take my hand
Nowhere left to turn
I'm lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turn their heads embarassed
Pretend that they don't see
But it's one missed step
One slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed
Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...
I'm having a hard time missing thises and thatses. The world is moving too slow for me. It makes me lazy. And days go by without an accomplishment, it seems.
I am stretched across hardwood floors, popping my lower back and shaking off the effects.
Drinking orange juice from the carton and trying to screw my head back into place.
All my fault. All my fault. All my fault.
