Silver Lining

I don't even really know how to put this.

It's a feeling, when I think about you. The way you look at things.

Your eyes. Your mind. Your body. I knew them. I understood them.

My understanding has left a silver lining on my heart, when I see you.

And how nothing in your eyes, your mind, your body, has changed.

I probably miss you.

Or maybe the scar tissue will always be sensitive.

Dreams

Constant hazy eyes

I see you in everyone

I am dreaming of a life with you

In everyone I meet

My heart is in a constant state

 of breaking

What You Gave to Me

You gave me hope
False hope, the truth was true,
And I never knew

You gave me scars
The backs of my hands, third degree burns
Crawling house fire to house fire

You had me dreaming
A love that burned the world down
I wanted to believe

A heart bigger than my body
You gave me life again
I couldn't breathe without you

You are long gone
I will never forget what you gave
And you are loved

?

You are not the most beautiful
thing I have ever seen.
You pale in comparison
to other brilliant things.

Your heart is kind, but it is not wise,
You cannot see with the mind,
I sometimes feel you are blind,

You are not there when I need you,
but you are when I don't.
And that's enough to get me through
the hardest times without you.

You think I'm brilliant.
I think you're lovely.
We think each other good
yet we are still so lonely.

I am loved by you,
and I love you so,
I don't know what that means yet,
and perhaps I will never know.

I suppose in the end
knowing wouldn't be much fun.
Because heartbreak is a curse,
and I'm not sure I'm the one.

Eye of Yew

Communication breaking,

no longer can the words be said

The letters are gone, faded over time

Left with only 6

Even though the letters are gone

It still remains the same

Eye of Yew

Left with only 6

But it still remains the same

The Great Collapse

Bricks crumbled beneath me
It seems no matter the foundation
The wolf will blow it down

Long from the Cave, I see with
Brighter eyes and a softer mind
The lives I've lived like past skins
Molted in the warmth of the sunshine

Rarely speaking, constantly thinking
I am a garden with blooming fruits
and crisp vegetables,
Hidden underneath locked doors
and secret chambers.

I am the moon in the midnight
I watch the children dream
and the adults worry
and the in-betweens cry.

And yet, the moon sets
and the gardens grow dormant
and the sun abandons the earth
and the great collapse begins again

Long from the Cave, I wonder
just how far a walk it would be.

Hard to Cross

Lines parallel
I'd do anything
to make them touch
to make it easier
to wrap you in me

innocent attraction
need to protect
mutual fluctuating opinion
trust and honesty

but I know
I know it can't

no matter how hard I try
I know it can't
