Empty me whole
You will find me full
Brimming over with love..
Holding it tight—I am not afraid
I know who you are when I’m not looking
Better yet
Who I am when I’m with you reveals everything within and then some..
Take me there..
to that land of dreams wishes and hopes..
I want to know everything
leave nothing out..
let’s walk to this place where everything else is erased
Show me where life and love intersect
The place where our hearts connect..
sorrow..
despair, grief
Melancholy woes,
such sadness has invaded my soul..
I cannot see through it
I’m no longer whole
I am numb
my mind has come undone..
I no longer feel
it’s all so unreal..
someone wake me
Shake me from this grief that has caused me to lose myself..
feet moving, arms hugging,
eyes wearily watching life that somehow keeps living..
sounds I don’t recognize escaping my mouth..
It is in the real – the now
So afraid of forgetting you
and somehow so afraid I’ll never be able to let you go..
Words we spoke
Plans we made..
a bonding of our hearts
words filling me with hope..
I’ll continue to dream
I’ll never let them die
I’ll release them to the sky..
realizing
I can love you and still say goodbye..
Your vile
Your cruel
You take no fool
Yet somehow you rule..
Insidious
Terrifying
You bring me to my knees..
so stealth with a wealth of harm in your outstretched arm..
Beckoning slowly,
ever so quietly
you unleash your wrath of rage devouring me up
until I can no longer rattle free this cage..
Blanketed by a stranger that has taken over my insides
as if you own me..
I won’t stay down
I’m up again
the battle is on
I won’t give in to the bile running through my skin..
You can touch me but you’ll never take my soul, my heart or my thoughts..
I’ll fight and fight
I won’t finish till I win it..
For I belong
Hope lives on
I’m warrior-strong..
It’s silent
can be deadly and all consuming
The power we give to thoughts..
The ones that rule our mind
The ones we ought to naught..
The questions,
the unknowns
and all we leave behind..
what if’s
Maybes
With all its’ lost time..
Unrequited passions
Unfulfilled dreams
Broken moments
Dashed hopes..
It is not always as it seems..
The longer you dwell on what you can’t foretell
The hotter the burn from your own hell
encumbered, entangled
crushed beneath it all
if you keep pushing
the harder you will fall..
set loose those thoughts that threaten to own you
Wearing you out
until you don’t know you..
You are more than the sum of your thoughts..
Keeping it safely between the lines
you remain blind..
The walls of your mind so unkind..
shouting, yelling – such a grind
you’re heavy, you’re weary
shaking on unstable ground..
no more running
no more hiding
No more sliding into despair..
Your eyes show the strength of how much you care..
break down the walls
open those eyes – let me inside
What did I learn through your walk of pain..
to love us new all over again..
To love us through & through
I’ll never quit growing,
I’ll never quit showing
how much more I have to pour into your heart..
And there I’ll remain, until you’re ready to start..
You take from me
Keep shaking me
raking me through the coals
You gloat
I mope –
we reap what we sow..
It don’t matter to the world
It will keep spinning
Time will keep winning
No matter that you’ve changed
I may be delicate & sweet in all that you see..
But don’t misconstrue what you think you know
about me..
I will shine again
I will find my sun
I will find my feet and learn to run..
Homesick for a home that doesn’t exist anymore..
I wonder as I wander
what I’m looking for..
putting my hands in
I dig deep
As I seek the mystery from the other side..
my wounds
bare my soul,
dim my light,
expose my darkness,
unravel my madness
and restore my hopes..
I live in there
They make me
they break me
It also sets me free..
no crying over things that aren’t or weren’t
Live life to its’ fullest..
There will always be X
The great unknown
and it may always keep me seeking for my home
but I will thrive as i roam..
Words may escape us
certainty may evade us..
how did I miss it..
The empty smile
Total denial
slipping – we lost our footing
the ground shook beneath us
the world caved in
eclipsing our sun..
tears may fall with the slipping
Bones may be weary
but my heart remains full..
it trembles with the unsteadiness
as it roars with the love of you
all we need is the beating of our hearts to restart..
no more tears, no more fears..
I’ll fall
I’ll stand
I’ll walk
I’ll crawl
As long I’m silently doing it all beside you..
walk with me
I will never forget what it is like to be lost and free..
I will always know what it is like to be found and bound..
we went round & round
until my sounds were silenced
You never understood
My heart was your design
the markings of you permanent..
The ink has dried
yet on & on we go..
even though our song is no longer sung
you are all I know..
Who could blame me
I didn’t want just the flame
I wanted my turn to feel the burn and to
consume me..
You collect the debts of my soul
You paint the pictures in my mind
You paint the pictures in my heart
You will follow me in my new start
As I’m
Blood stained by the likes of you..
Beautiful trauma
what have we done..
How do we stop what has begun..
So bright on fire is our love..
So high on life we live above..
The highest highs lifting us up
Until our cup overflows with the sweetest of love..
something dark has taken control
sorrow has invaded into our soul
overshadowing the light we know..
I’m lost and rambling as I roam-
crying out is my love, as it desperately seeks to bring you home..
Desolate and all alone..
My heart soars and shatters simultaneously
certain I’ll find you –
yet, sure I’m on my own
With no place to call home..
deprived – abandoned
we are now dead..
I hope to survive with you in my head..
