I want to tell you
How I’m feeling
But don’t want dependence
To weigh you down.
I want you to see
That I’m hurting.
It should be obvious
Without words.
I want to know
Why nobody is around
When I’m hurting the most
But I don’t want an audience
For my tears.
I want to be heard
But can’t help
Soldiering on in silence.

I thought
I did all there was to do
Yet here I stand
On unsure footing
Stopped on a road…
Leading where?
In the end, there’s just
Me
Allow yourself to see it from my view:
Love is something you lose yourself in
Regret is when you realize, too late that
Everything has changed
And instead of losing yourself, you lost me.
Dreams are haunting your waking hours with
Yearning, but nothing can be changed.
Go on, move forward. There’s
Only so much more that can be done when
Never means forever and
Everything we had is lost.
I’m holding on to you,
My dear,
I’ll never let you go.
But what if space
Is what I need? I may be
Here, physically,
But my presence isn’t present.
I love you
Don’t you love me?
Yes, but I
Love myself more.
Thrust into the adult world
A child
With growing responsibilities.
And so began a torrid love affair
With words
With life
With myself.
Don’t look.
Just walk right by-
Quickly
Before your eyes lock
On the reflection
That isn’t yours.
She looks like you,
But she’s grinning a toothy smile
While your lips are pressed tight.
Her gaze holds you-
And before you know it
You’re leaning closer…
Hands reach out from the glass
Grab you
Force your head to make impact with the mirror-
Shattering
Rings in your ears as
Your
World
Crashes
Down
Around
You…
As we stand in a room of puzzles
No puzzle more intricate than us
With your eyes trained on me
Searching for a reaction
But what am I supposed to do?
You always had a way
To make my knees weak with lust
You always had a way
But what am I supposed to do?
Searching for a reaction
With your eyes trained on me
No puzzle more intricate than us
As we stand in a room of puzzles.
It drives you
Moving upward
And onward
Fueling your energy
With enlightening ideas
On greatness
As you grow
And grow
Until the day
Your high spirits are so large
You can’t fit in your wallet
And you move onward
And outward.
http://www.napowrimo.net/ prompt for day 28
A child’s mind cracked open wide
For learning and growing
Walking all alone, their own stride
With confidence showing.
But soon they will grow much too big
And forget their own self.
They will have to search hard and dig,
Wiping dust off the shelf.
They will look back with a smile
On all the things they learned-
How could they forget? A long while…
My, how the tables turned!
http://www.napowrimo.net/ NaPoWriMo prompt for day 25. Catching up! 😉
There are many things I’d like to say to you
The fact that I was lying
To your face
For the majority of my life
That I loved you
And hated you
Equally and simultaneously
That I wished you were more
Than the man you thought you were
And would become the man you always dreamed of
And I want to
Be honest with you
For the first time in my life
Tell you that I care
About every hurtful word
You threw my way
And I would
Change the past
To change the future
And make the present right
But I can’t
Because
You’re
Not
Here.
