Doing time
heart shackled to the moments we’ve left behind Lock me down in this space
The confinement of you
The chains may rattle
the cage may shake
Yet nothing will unchain the love locked within us
Come what may
Some things remain the same
I wish to be in your custody
restraints I will never fight to undo..
screw in the bolts
tighten the locks
Held captive by us
Doing life with you
my prison of love..
the tighter I hold
The looser the grip..
slowly slipping away
Words sound the same
scenery looks the same
Smiling familiar faces
running circles in the same places
but the ground is shifting
Drifting.. can’t be stopped..
Airwaves are deadly
currents sucking me in slowly
until I’m giving into the pressure..
Being carried away involuntarily
thrown about aimlessly..
until I glide away
we lit up the paths behind us,
burning so bright with each venture we’d race to..
each new door we’d dare to jump through
Unafraid where we’d land.. knowing we were hand in hand
embracing the unknown
Fearless in our quest for life..
it now blankets our insides, suffocating our outsides
the darkness of fear eclipsing the light that shined so bright
the silence so eerie, it is all we hear..
Let’s start a fire
Burning up the apparitions that have become us, burying the ghosts we hide in
watching till fear is no more
Awake with me
Let’s ignite the trails till they roar..
We will always be the unfinished story
the hope of lost moments
unspoken dreams
the taste of sweetness throughout me
it lifts me when I’m down
pushes me to go on
take my hand, let’s carry on
my mind renewed as the heart leads the way
writing what it knows
fascinated, captivated
the pen comes to life
etching out details to beautiful to share
real love is messy
it is blissful madness..
We are everything¬hing
the blank page will remain so
the ending always changing
as our story goes on & on..
thoughts steady as I go
Love without depth is weak
succumbing to the many distractions
running its’ course until it’s undone
without softness it
lacks a fragile tenderness leaving it hollow
the emptiness hardening as it covers up the hurts..
Be vigilant
It’s the little things
The unspoken thoughts showing through in actions.. that silent love – the most beautiful sound your heart has ever heard..
little things mean a lot more in love..
A connection, a bond
The smallest of ties..
A story behind every story
A reason, a why
for the smile
for the pain
An overlapping of the unknown
A string that draws us in
making all of us a part of the other
Our ups, our downs
our triumphs, our losses..
so simple, so complex
so wonderful, so not
with everything in between..
Let the strings that connect our thoughts & our hearts
create a link so strong that our differences will fade
And love will be the reason and the why
of a you and an I..
Somewhere in my brokenness I’m whole
The brand new me wears a new coat of paint
Splashes of color filling the empty spaces
happy to never being the same
New shades of peace cover me and the rain will not wash it away
uncertainty is nothing to fear..
Nothing to explain as I step out onto this new plane waiting for the lines to join..
The many puzzle pieces that have become me
I’m intrigued
stepping strong i move on
courageous in the unknown
I can do this on my own
I see the shadow of your smile
Mesmerized..it lights my way and I like where it leads..
inside the demons hide
and the moments are colder
yet love blankets my bones
it’s so dark
the bright not seeping in..
I feel the howling whispers of defeat
the booming silence in this empty space
bores into my soul
The mental breakdown breaking something in me already wounded
Rising- I will face it with a steadfast perspective riding the ever changing tide of emotion and circumstance..
For now I will learn to listen in the dark
Knowing each moment holds the chance of a fresh new start
You, her, me,
them, they, us..
scrutinizing each other until the words decimate the soul..
lies become truth
Wrongs become right..
The silent war is on
It’s lethal
Fatalities high
Jealousy causing a disease within us..
rotting to the core until we are no more
Critiquing never ends
So much hurt
desensitization real..
Intense pretty blue eyes
shading the hate
Brown eyes dull with pain
green eyes no longer sparkle
ridicule has had its’ way far too long
shredding her along the way, tearing you down
Until we are a wisp of a shadow of who they once were..
though the smile is present, her laugh out loud,
she has decayed inside
The smell unbearable
The pain crushing
until she can fight no more..
No one wins
as we all disappear within the mirror of fear we’ve learned to hate..
Distinct
Exceptional
Courageous in your uniqueness
You make me better
No pretense
Loving freely, honestly, completely
You’ve awoken a gentle rage within
It moves me
Wonder if you’ll ever understand
All I need is your hand
There is no bondage
No chains, no rules
Hope can be a weapon
Go ahead ‘n’ pull the trigger
It’s worth the fall
For I haven broken free
