people think differently then how they talk. i think in french when i speak english. when i dont think french i think in old english. and when i started thinking in old english, i finally understood why Shakespeare and all the other writers of old wrote the way they did. everyone says 'why didnt they just say what they mean. he basically said the three words 'i love you' but took 5 pages to say it and describe it in unnecessary detail.' but i say...why not say it like he did. why say exactly what you mean. when you can elaborate and make it sound so much more dramatic. that's what it's all about isn't it. just making it more elaborate. this is a time when love isn't just love. it is a burning passion hotter then a thousand suns about to explode because the universe isn't big enough to sustain the feeling that is so overwhelming that it cannot simply be described as love. no. it takes more then just one word. so why say what you say. when you can say what you think and make everything so much more dramatic?!1
why would i say that i was so sad i stayed in my room and thought about you2
when i can say:
i was locked inside my room for a million years
'cause all the locks were rusted by all my tears
trying to drown my fears
to love someone
like you
so i threw away the key
because i didnt need it anymore
and kept all my dreams of you
deep inside the pool that is my head3
why say that i love you4
when i can say:
i woke up one day
underwater
and realized that i needed air
so i started to swim to the surface
and when i got there
i was trapped in a clock
and the ticking almost drove me insane
so in my attempt to stop time
the hands strangled me at noon
when i finally got out of their grasp
i realized i was 6 feet under
ground
i tried to dig my self free
but then realized that with every handful of dirt
that i scraped away
gravity changed and i ended up going in circles
finally i made it to the center of the earth
it was burning hot
and i realized that you were the center
and i was in my heart
and i realized that my heart
was the worst thing
and i had held you there
a prisoner
for far too long
so i decided to let you go
just to see if you would come back
how selfish could i be
so i sat there
in the pits of my hell heart
and realized
that this is what a day in my life is like
without you
and i realized
that to stop the endless cycle of torture and hell and indecision
i need you in my life
now and forever
so here i am
in the pit of my heart
begging you to say
because you are the one that can bring me the light
you are my sun
you are my everything
you are my life5
why say that i am bored when i can say:
i found no use for time
time is something that cannot be understood
nor meant to be understood.
so one day i decided to stop time
so i went into a clock
the clock of the world
the ticking almost drove me insane
and when trying to break off the hands they strangled me at noon
so when i got loose of the hands
they finally stopped
because my soul was wrapped around them
so forever and ever i had nothing to do
but who cares
so now that time is stopped
i have eternity
to be bored
and sit in my room
lokking up at the stars
thinking
where the hell did my ceiling?6
Please tell me what you think

Cheese and crackers, girl, where do you get these words? Why does everything you write feel and sound so poetically perfect?
In other words, awesome write.
