Lulled by the thick, rich sound
Bleeding out from the strikes of the bow.
Such enduring pain is music which cannot die,
Long after
The violinist is forgotten.

The clouds were pretty that morning, and I even had the urge to take a picture of it, paint it, or do something that would capture the dream-like moment. But then in the corner of my bed near my feet, I saw what seeme

i envy your freedom. i envy your thirst. i envy how you are able. i envy the fact that you have a direction to take, and that you've tread it successfully. i envy your choices. i envy how you speak your mind. i envy the ray of sun in your art. i envy the shadow it casts. i envy the colors and the way they are put together. i envy your courage. i envy your fears. i envy your love and passion. i envy your triumphs. i envy your downfalls. i envy your youth. i envy every inch of you. you may not know it, but i wish your life were mine. not this unfamiliar abyss that is eating me from the inside. i love you, though you do not know me. but i envy t
