There was this thing I did....

Once. I wrote a story, I wrote a poem, I wrote a song, I wrote anything that came to mind.
Here's a song I wrote:

I haven't been out since God knows when
And I haven't seen you again.
And it's been so long since you left
And it's been too much that I've wept

So I sit here alone
Thinking on my own
I sit here alone
Staring at the phone

But I know you won't call
I waited through the fall
And I know you won't come
In a day under the sun
And it's been so long since I've seen you
And I haven't a clue what to do

So I sit here alone
Thinking on my own
I sit here alone
Throwing words like a stone

And splash, they go
But still you don't show
And splash, I know
I've hit an all time low
And it's been too long for me to wait
And it's been too much for me to take

I sit here alone
Thinking on my own
I sit here alone
It's time for me to go

So I'm going away
Where? I won't say
I'm done today
It'll be two years this may.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~


So I have a poem as well... I know it's weird. But these are the things that I write when I'm bored.

Picture perfect
Nightime sky
Swift sailboat
Stifled cry
Black water
So serene
Cut cleanly
By the knife
And me

Stay rad,
Riley

So I don't know if I need to tell you how much I love your writings.
But those two, are something new. There's something really different about them (in my opinion) from what I've last read by you....which was written a while ago.
They're super powerful, even though the second one is super short. I absolutely love it. And I would like to steal it. And you reminded me how much I'd really like to write now and how I haven't been able to, so off I go to write something and then compare its terrible-ness to this genius-ness :]
