&ldquo;Sure, I can talk like you, but I choose not to, It&#039;s like an art, you know? Picasso had to prove to the world he could paint the right way, before he goes putting both eyes on the side of a face... See if you paint wrong because that&#039;s the best you can do, you just a chump. But you do it because you want to? Then you&#039;re an artist...You can take that to the grave and dig it up when you need it.&rdquo; <br /> ― Neal Shusterman, Unwind


When I miss you
The stars don’t shine
And the birds are encaged in shrapnel.

When I miss you
Every little note is flat,
Every word is meaningless and floating.

When I miss you
I can’t breathe, can’t speak,
Can’t even move.

When I miss you
I am not me,
But somebody else,
Someone slow-witted and mild.

When I miss you
I am morbidly ill
I’m an addict in need of a fix
And all my plights are sentenced to failure.

You are the part of me that is soft,
Kind and passionate and splendiferous.
And when I miss you
I am blank
Lost
Lifeless
Alone.
