I Believe

I am here even if I do not say anything,
I silently want your well-being,
they would deem it odd to be so crazy,
if I were to shout it aloud.

Someone once told me to reach for the stars,
I am-reaching for you,
I see someone better than maybe you see yourself,
and yet you are so different.

Faux pas and pleasantries aside,
who are we left with,
would we then be equals,
that to decide comes in time.

You seem to feel and write the same things I have,
writing the words only those close would know,
always about wanting and mourning love,
only if I had the chance.

Lay It Down

I am not one for drama-I leave it where it lies,
I do not look back when I say goodbye,
I do not know what to say-so I will say nothing at all,
a different angle just might shed light.

I respond in like manner to what is shown to me,
crying victim when you were the one causing the pain,
I am still who I have always been,
you were the one who changed.

You lend yourself to a short end,
you rely on secondary sources and call them truth,
take it from the primary,
the miscommunication lies with you.

Now you feel and say the same things I have,
and hide behind your written ranting,
you turn from the one who was worth the fight,
and so I leave you an uncrossable divide.

Patience Through Suffering

Funny how things change,
tables turn and solid ground shakes,
know that growth hides in the broken,
and comes patience through suffering.

I have moved on - it is over,
there is nothing left to say,
I am neutral - I am happy,
and so you will be someday.

Spinning out of a life crisis,
take some time to reflect,
allow yourself to properly heal,
you owe yourself and the next that respect.

Look ahead and what do you see,
God gives the desires of the heart,
you have the tools to do as your please,
there builds no character in calm seas.

Like A Poison

Love is like a poison,
never can get enough,
the heart is an addict,
needing even more to fill it up.

So here I am searching,
for the fix that will let me be,
keep my nerves from screaming,
calm the perilous sea.

Then come the ones who hurt me,
target me from every angle,
hit me with their best shot,
but I have always come through.

Here I move on,
not as easy as it seems,
I take a step into the wild frontier,
until my next poison appears.
