Sandy, Half-SoakedAll I wanted was to lieSandy, Half-Soaked by ~Vegetabelle
On the ground, unmoving,
Until I had strength
To walk on my own again.
But I began to sink as
The rain and lowering tide began
To wash the sand
Right from underneath me,
Without resolve in me to stand.
I had been away so long,
Unresponsive to your calls,
And you were growing anxious.
You wondered where I was,
Just hoping I was safe.
When you finally stumbled upon
Me: sandy, half-soaked.
And you picked me up
Though I indignantly struggled
And kicked at first.
You held me,
Cradling my face on your hands,
And told me
What a pretty face it was.
Quietly rocking me in your arms,
I regained stamina and stood,
Though you kep

I Am Ugly TodayI am ugly today,I Am Ugly Today by ~Vegetabelle
But I am not going to tell you.
I can't stand your disappointment
And I just can't bring you down.
I am sick today,
And sick makes me unpretty,
But I can't decide if you should hear.
It makes you sad when
There's a problem;
And there's nothing you can do.
I know you want no secrets,
No feelings packed away,
But I've seen you hurt so deeply
By words like these today.
So should I hurt you by not saying
What it is that's in my mind,
Or should I hurt you by admitting
I don't like myself again?
If I tell you, it will haunt you,
And you'll never let it go,
So I think that it is better
If you didn't have to know.

BalloonI'm am hydrogen-brained--Balloon by ~Vegetabelle
Head lighter than air,
Filled with seemingly nothing,
Although dramatically reactant
To you: so mesmerizing.
Hold me tightly in your arms
Because you take away
All the weight
That holds me down,
And I am carefree.
You sweep my feet off the ground
Every time you kiss me.

Beauty of MortalityI once heard that the beauty of mortalityBeauty of Mortality by ~Vegetabelle
Is the illusion that love can last forever.
While I don't have the illumination of years,
I don't think I've embraced naivete
In believing that love can surpass time.
Is it purely childish dreaming or vain hope
That makes me want to trust in love's reality?
Angel, it it's you that gives me faith in love.
You and your perfect, coy smile, and
The way your fingertips dance over my skin
So tantalizingly; how surprisingly strong
Your arms are when you sweep me off my feet,
Understanding me when I am lost within myself,
And each reminder of your admiration
Floods me with uncomplicated happiness,
And I canno
