Scared
I know you're scared
Take a walk with me
We're ill-prepared
But let's wait and see
Our shadows will always be there
When the light is shining bright
I know we have our demons
But we can do this right
Will the path lead to nowhere
Will we tangle, hearts and all?
Will we fade out slow and sadly
I want to know it all
Will we ignite what's deep within us
Will we learn to love with ease
Will we wake up in the morning
Without questions, without maladies?
Let me love you
You don't have to hide
If we are moving forward
I'll be here for the ride.
Escape
We all would like to fly away
Like mourning doves on gloomy days
We get in planes
To chase our dreams
Our only means
Of flight it seems
But what is flying
What is flight
It can be love that makes us light
It can be hope or courage or might
It can be simply freeing your mind
So when you think you cannot fly
Think again and you can try
To keep your head and heart up high
And never let your passion die
The Ex
How dare you
Crawl back into her life
Like a feral cat
On a stoop
Broken and dirty
Yet irresistible.
The thought has turned to ash in my mouth
I spit these words
Tears and ash make ink
Upon which I write words
you will never see.
How dare you
Have more of a hold on her heart
Than my hands did around her body
I'm grasping at air now
Fighting to breathe.
How dare you
Make me worry about her
When thoughts meet fears
The semblance of understanding
Stifles the desire
The feeling more fleeting
Than our short affair
I dare you
To treat her with respect
To love her like I would have
If given the chance.
And when you break her
I will accept her
Crawling back into my life
Like a feral cat
Broken and dirty
Yet irresistible.

It can be simply freeing your mind

Her
She's with me in the crisp linens
In the smell of my hair
She's just behind my shoulder
In the wisp of rousing air
She's in the drops of pouring rain
In all the wetness around me
She's in my toes and fingertips
In every pounding heartbeat
She's with me in the morning light
In the sound of feline paws
She's in the feathers that grace skin
In all the beloved flaws
She's in a spot that can't be itched
In hope and thought and air
She's in comfort,smiles and memories
She will forever reside there
Her

In the smell of my hair

In the wisp of rousing air
She's in the drops of pouring rain
In all the wetness around me
She's in my toes and fingertips
In every pounding heartbeat
She's with me in the morning light
In the sound of feline paws
She's in the feathers that grace skin
In all the beloved flaws
She's in a spot that can't be itched
In hope and thought and air
She's in comfort, love and memories
She will forever reside there
The Vault
As I sit with my thoughts
The pot boils over
Scalding my mind with anxiety
The thoughts are hot, piercing daggers
That move from my head to my heart
From my heart to my limbs
Crucifying me where I sit
Unable to move
Frozen in this numbing pain
It's been so long
I cannot move
The weight on my shoulders
As heavy as my heart
I finally rise
Feeling alive
Now I walk with my thoughts
Hot, piercing daggers in my mind.
