Act 1: 'Love Caged Us All'

its just a disguise, just a way of pulling you in. this trap i have set, i set it so well. never noticed, never questioned. its a perfect plan of mine. its thicker then the welded steal that holds you there. its colder then the nights you are left alone. so sudden it all happened, still unaware of the outcome. i can see it you your eyes, the shimmer of hope began to fade. so slowly your body becomes more lifeless. draining you. i know it hurts. its my pleasure my dear.

swaying from side to side, looking at you, so helpless, so pathetic. your try to speak, try to plea for a chance. its unfortunate that things dont always work out that way. i watch you, i stare deeply at the person beyond those beautiful eyes. its tragic really. how frozen one can feel when they realize they lost everything. your hands tied to each corner of the cage, your head is so limp. even your ribs have began to show more. this is my magic trick my dear, the one that will out do them all. i will make you disappear. i have never seen you this weak. it fascinates me.

for every tear that falls from your brittle body, my smile grows greater. you see my dear. i came to you because i needed a partner, don't say i didn't tell you thats what i wanted. we both know its true. baby, look at how wonderful your doing. your helping me complete my illusion. yes, i know it hurts, but its just an illusion baby. you never existed.

we have been together for many years, we spoke of our dreams, our hopes, and so on. i told you i will become bigger then Houdini, i will become the most remembered illusionist in the world. text books will speak of me.

Your brittle body, your failing lungs, they will complete my goal. When we arrive on that center stage, wheeling you out to uncover my creation. The illusion of lost love. when we begin our performance, i shall give you one last kiss. and slowly you will fade away. chained in a cage of welded steal you will vanish from those who walked around you once, and a few years down the road. you will be forgotten, vanished. because you mean nothing to no body. your identity doesn't even exist anymore. i took that gift away from you long before things became clear.

you see dear, i say i will be bigger then Houdini is because while on that stage, in front of thousands of people. I will be killing you slowly. With a smile on my face, and a blessing in my heart.. for you. If only i meant that. It will be a night to remember, it will be called 'Love Caged Us All' and you, you are my love. Its time to set you free.

Forever in death you can be happy, maybe then you will find what your looking for. Until then, in this cage you shall suffer. You will be tortured in so many ways, but most of all baby, im going to play with that wonderful mind of yours. I will bring many men over to fornicate with in front of you, making sure your breaking down faster. you see, if i give you no reason to live, im just helping you with your suicide, so it wouldn't be all my fault. just picture it as though you are a canary. your in your home where you belong. at least nothing ...else.. can hurt you in there. and you cant simply fly away.

good night

the sun sets on another beautiful evening, again we must part. slowly slipping away from you for yet another night. i always hate this part of the day, the part that makes this end. i spend my nights after you leave writing, i sit here with my open heart waiting for the day you take it away. im reaching out to you, waiting for you to grab it. i can see it in your eyes when i look at you, i can even hear it in your voice when your words roll of your tongue. the way your infatuated with me amuses me. i hold on to your words, without them i would fall ever so far. fall into a river of tears.

often as i sit here and write the words are hard to find. something isnt connected. somethings missing. the thoughts arent as fluent as they used to be. could it be all this silence? i didnt want to leave you again tonight. i didnt want to have to say good bye. i know its not forever. its just till tomorrow. but just once, i would love to wake to your smiling face. even though, if it was just once, the night after i would be sitting here wishing i had that every night. i do want that every night.

we danced under the stars. you held me so tight. it was just me and you, and the moon lit sky. i wanted to be lost in that moment forever. i still am, but only in thought. its so wonderful having you on my mind. to have a reason to write, for someone to hold. if only the words could explain my feelings.

so another night i lay in bed, with you in thought, soon to be in my dreams. one day you shall be beside me. that one day will come soon. for you i would to anything. this life is to short for me to express my love. but in the time that we have. i will take you to the moon and back.

one at war

its dreary out again. this world is always so twisted. thoughts of one thing then another. things change so often. my thoughts are so cluttered. its so cold here. here in my head. its full of confusion. theres a tiny box in the corner, that is where i hold my hope, my dreams, even my wishes. its very dusty. it looks like i haven't even acknowledged them in years. its been to long. to long i forget what i even want out of life. layers and layers of lost hope are stacked in the other corner. they look as though they have been handled to often, mangled. sorting, searching. unsure of whats to become of this. gathering all these thoughts, theses ideas, plans, dreams, hope, love, hate, wishes, feelings. i am breaking down deeper. falling into this cavern of my soul. my being. the person i was once still resides here, i can see her looking at me laughing. giggling that i wish to finally be set free. to smile. i cant look at her anymore. she brings me back to those days. if only i was as strong as her. this clutter in my thoughts is caused by her, she doesnt understand its times to go. she seems to get a kick out the pain im feeling. hovering over me as though im a stranger, but this is my home.

i want to escape. start fresh. rebuild the woman i am. throw away the old, and bring in the new. forgive myself for all the pain i caused. release myself of this all. slowly accept that this is who i am. and slowly learn to love it. it would be so nice to look at myself, and to say that im happy. happy with who i am how i am and what i am. but i dont have control this all yet. we are at war. and she has the upper hand. but soon, soon she will weaken. she doesnt know that i am ready. i am fully ready to take on this challenge. with this will i have, i can do anything. i can be anything. which means i can be happy. just taking the first step on getting her out, and moving myself in. that is going to be the hard part. it shouldnt be though. its just her way of tricking me. i dont want to spend the rest of my days saying "well i could have done that" i dont want to hold my self back anymore. i want to be on top of the world. i want to feel it. i want to see it. and better yet i want to know i did it. i want nothing more then to better my life and to make the best of it. trust me, chest pains and tears arent fun, she doesnt seem to care when shes in charge, it gives her a reason to whine.

it will all crumble down, slowly. and she will fall with it to. and from that day on. i will smile like no other.

a night under the sky

music's playing in the background, its a dull night, the stars are shimmering less then normal. i stand here alone on this balcony - thinking- its always so painful when they dont twinkle like they used to. i often reassure myself that they will again. its just the fog over the deep blue sky. looking around me, there is no fog, its simply just a sullen evening. with my hands on the railing i lean over, i breathe as deep as my lungs will let me. taking in this freedom. even though this sky is dull and the stars aren't shimmering as they should. i still feel you near. i can see the ocean from here, the waves are faded in the nights mist, but i can hear them. they bring visions of you to my eyes. staring at the sky, staring into the blue, sinking into my thoughts. its amazing how this world is so beautiful. its only this beautiful because of you. each being, each object, each gust of wind, drop of water, it resembles you. its just my memories playing games again, but it keeps me here, smiling.

slowly i walk down the stairs on the left side of the balcony, making my way to the beach. the sand slowly sinking between my toes, my dress blowing in the nights wind. tears begin to fall. if only you were here. as i walk i think of you, i think of all those lovely things you would tell me. i play them over and over again. its my prescription for my depression, yet its also the cause of my tears. sitting down in front of the crashing waves, i in vision us how we should be. its still so hazy to me. but im pretty sure i have it all figured out. leaning back, letting my body hit the floor. i spread my arms out as i look at the sky. i can feel you looking back at me. i know your thinking of me. its the dream of all dreams, to finally take away this distance. the tears are still falling but slowly fading away, its as though you are here. consoling me, ridding me of my tears. i know i shouldn't cry. the wind is blowing my hair and dress every which way, i feel your warmth around me. i just want to lay here till you come back to me. i know you know where to find me love.

its nice being so far from street lights, even though its a hazy night, but im sure in time, these stars will be shimmering again. and with just having that hope, i will lay here all night, waiting for it, if the sun rises before they shine again, i will be here again the next night, waiting.

and some day soon love, when they are shining ever so brightly, you will be here, covered in sand as i am now, laying next to me staring up at the same very stars that i waited for you under.

i dont wanna get paid for this

sometimes i just cant stand it, sitting here waiting for something to change. i feel like im waisting away. most people would say, and have said, at least your getting paid for it. but honestly, does money really matter that much? to me it doesnt, i rather enjoy my day. its 1:11. how funny. well at least it is on one of the many clocks in this room. each of them read a different time. you would think some moron would fix them. honestly i dont care. fuck it. i just get to experience 1:11 another 4 times within a few minutes, arent i lucky.

this week has drained me in so many possible ways, yet, im rejuvenated. things are often going up and down. i even try to force things out of alignment so i can get it done already. well im keeping this one short cause this one is me babbling. i want to be creative now, so im gunna post this and then write shit that might make sense.

forever-longing-forever-love

with out the pills she thinks of you all the time, she couldnt stop if she even wanted to . but it doesnt feel right to her, she wants to pack up and go- to wake up with that look in your eyes, the kisses of your lips. the taste of your body.

leaving isnt as easy as it sounds, even though happiness would come much more often. she wishes he wasnt in the picture sometimes, or even if she just felt whole, here at home. she takes her pills and enters that wonderland

she is feeling slowly better about who she is, how she is. even more open and daring to the thoughts and the world around her.

the bottle always empties to fast, to fast for her happiness to go away. she dreamt she didnt need such things to help sooth her mind.

but baby, with you , you are there, there a distance away.
im scared.
im frozen.
i want to smile.
because of you.
not because its mandatory.

the things you say to me.
should be published in a book.
my heart melts
and i fall deeper into you

the drugs make it.

every night i spend lost in thought is for you to blame. i don't want to have to fade away from whats real. this never seemed to feel this real until i noticed something change, change about myself. you know love. i smile more with you in thought. laying there, under the stars, i can feel you looking back at me.

never has the thought of tomorrow been so pleasant. never did i think i could wake up with a smile on my face. but like all good things, some must fade. the shade is thickening on my horizon dear. i can still feel them in my system. the drugs that draw me to another time, another place. where everything is slowed down. sluggishly i gather myself, and i hope for that sun to brighten my days. someone will take my hand and help me through this. love, will you guide me? i cant say that it will be easy. im not as wonderful as they say. maybe we are foolish to even think. to think life would lead us to the right thing, to give us hope.... finally. finally a chance to smile. to be happy. to finally be on top of the world.

if only i didn't need such false thoughts to keep me here. smiling. i see you looking to perfect, sitting on the counter. your cover is still tightly sealed. i haven't been greedy today baby, i haven't indulged myself in you. not yet. i been to bad love. i use you up way to fast, if only you didnt make me feel so good. without you here, im different. slowly i begin to open you, holding you so tight, the perfect grip around you. slowly opening you, listening to your words, my words. taking one at a time, like i said baby, im not greedy. i just loose count.

my eyes are feeling swollen, a warmth has engulfed my body, and you love, your rushing threw-out me. my thoughts twist and turn, im on the slowest roller coaster ever. yet this is the thrill of a life time. im unsure of what i just did, but i wont hesitate baby, your here, holding my hand. if i ever need you, i just reach out, and help myself to a little more of your love. how sweet you always are, giving pieces of you away to me.

dont forget baby, im waiting for you, im always waiting for you. never has anything made me as happy as you. your just a little harder to control then my addiction for diet coke. but you both go pretty smoothly together. dont distance yourself from me, it didnt take long for me to realize it, but i need you dearly.

im sick of the radio

i find my self reaching, reaching all to often. it seems like you are so far away from me, yet love, your standing right next to me. why cant i seem to get threw to you, somethings cluttering my thoughts, they aren't coming out clear. just hold on love. things will fix them selves, i think i can see you more clearly now. but its fading around me slowly. all i can see is those eyes of yours, im drowning in the man behind them. hes taken me to places i have never been. but as i look deeper in to that man, he begins to change, he is no longer the one i recall. he is different, but yet still quite as charming. he reminds me of you, but theres something i cant quite grasp. why doesn't he hold me like you do my dear? he tries so hard to fill your shoes, but the shoe never fits. is this that new love you spoke of dear? is this why that man cant hold me like you do? where did it go? i wish we didn't have to worry about this. but baby, how else can we be truly happy. looking at him - through you- i was scared to fall farther away. don't turn away from me, from us.

the haze becomes thicker, your bottled feelings are seeping out.
if only you would let them flow. and when you do baby, when your ready to tell me all it is thats on your mind, i will be there, listening, right beside you. always.

its really sad when you don't care if you miss 5 years of your life. its even more sad when you wish you didn't have to wake up. sometimes people just want to choose the days they get to be alive. right now, i wish i wasn't.

silent dreams

its another evening, but this one stands out from the others, finally i saw you there, you were standing so seductive - your body engulfed me. i didn't want to pull a way, but there was so may people around, i didn't think we should continue. sitting on top of you hearing you tell me its ok, it felt so natural, soon the people began to fade, it was only me and you. the stars seemed to sing your name, they would shimmer to your aura. never has life felt so compete till the winds sang your name. i can picture it, a field, me and you, the sounds of the wild life rummaging threw the brush, its always so peaceful with you in thought. i loved to dance, dance in the sound of the wind, the wind signing your song. that song stood for power, for pain, for love, for loyalty, but most of all it sang for one's own being. it made my heart feel whole, finally to feel whole, its been something i been searching for way before i knew what certain things meant. its a gift to me, a gift that only some one dear would give me, you became my drug to life, you became my inspiration. you became the best part of me. the part that i never knew how to grasp. if only it wasn't a world i only spent my dreams in, maybe then i could truly redesign my destiny. i see you, me in the far distance i was standing in our home, you know, the one we spoke of my dear, the one by the beach, with the forest surrounding the perimeter of our house, but that's when we aren't traveling, this once is were we would spend all our time, the RV cause we love to travel, 'setting my alarm clock for and hour and a half after we pass out, just so i can wake up to watch you sleep, drive, drive down to the beach, just to cook you breakfast and make a few screwdrivers while we watch the sun rise. laying in your arms falling so deep into them remember the first time we met, but remember my love, this is for you... the wind keeps us together, in such sorrow my dear, i part with you again for another night.

you still come to me at night, telling me that things should change, change doesn't come easy for those like me, you see love, i dance around that- fact: life is simple, things come on platters with little pieces of freshly cut Romain lettuce. i wish that all problems got voided out like the extra box of condoms i told the lady she rang up twice, but then again im glad she didn't noticed, you don't know how many people can fuck you [over] with out you even noticing.

you know baby, this whole time, i knew this was what is should have done, if only my mind was loud enough. its sad i cant hear myself over you, but then again, you been here all along, you are me my dear, we are as one. its time we should see this, and accept it, and learn to come out and say it. you are what holds you back. be true to yourself.


the end.

food for thought

im at work on lunch bored as always, its seems like a nice day out, but how would i know. i love cubicles, i also love sarcasm. but you know what i love even more then sarcasm, its you. yes you. your probably thinking, why? well why not. why should you even care why i love you, your loved. yay for you. i really wish i didnt have an hour lunch, i don't need that much time to eat, most of the time i don't even want to eat, i want to get out of here asap so why would i want to waist more time eating? honestly, work sucks. time sucks, schedules suck. even more so, im not at home, with you. yep, im talking to you again. isnt it wonderful? we should go out, maybe a hike under the stars, or a lovely dinner on the beach. o wait, you cant? well why the fuck not. your mean. hahah im losing it. but don't worry, i still love you. yes you silly, stop asking, and just accept it. im going to love you forever. better get used to it. rawr!

on another note

im looking for some decent after effects tutorials if anyone would happen to know a site. [ha like anyone reads, or will read, this] i realize that if i can get better at that and loose the fear of working with things that aren't 2D i can make more money, and that means, more happiness, because we all know... money buys happiness. o golly gee, i love america... [note: read beginning of first paragraph again]
