let's keep it simple. let's just continue
to talk and share our mangled words, indulging
in those people and memories once
dead to us; let's pretend I'm really a
fabled treasure- because strength
only belongs to those who deserve it.
(you don't yet know
how worthless I am)
and there are things I cannot tell you
because
no one ever wants to hear
what you don't want to be; no one wants to know
you are deteriorating as the world absorbs
what it needs of you, and nothing more.
it wasn't just an accident
that stole my breath away,
it wasn't fate that tempted the stars
to all come tumbling down.
the path to your own degradation
isn't as romantic as promised.
let's keep it simple,
unlike all the other things that bring me
dreams like nightmares about having
to wake up again.
everyone has a breaking point-
I measure my time in lengths
of giving up.

The Smallest Things
I didn't know how To see the beauty in life Until the first time I held your hand. The sun dipped below the horizon Painting our little world a rosy pink. We've grown so much since then. Your touch still makes me just as red As the first time And you taught me how to love The smallest things.
Literature
What Science Thinks of as Small.
It all starts with a quark, just one letter off from quirk
With directions, charm and strange, we know slightly how they work.
Together, they make protons (and neutrons if you prefer)
One’s pretty positive; the other, no charges do occur.
Stick them with electrons; an atom’s what you’ll make.
(Though, make them really large and they’re liable to break.)
With these, the possibilities really do expand
Since they’re really much more numerous than all the grains of sand.
From molecules that lead to life, to stars far out in space
The universe has ways for even the small to find their place.
