I got one great window. It’s stained in a good way and it faces the right way so it soaks in the early sun. That means there’s also times when it’s in the shade, but that’s okay – I know it’s still there and the sun usually comes round again. Some days it’s lower than others. Some days stronger than the day before. And that reminds me of the endless shades of colour, of the finest degrees of light and of the need to keep turning, even in the shade, while the beauty is still there, waiting.

Stained
missing you is missing a part of me a part of me I gave you a piece of my heart that is still beating missing you when your right infront of me and I'll be wondering what's going on in your head from being in each other's arms to the returning of items that had once had meaning having dreams of screaming your name having thoughts wishing it was all the same with un gave gifts and un said words with the texts you last sent were all a blur from glances exchanged to not being able to look at your face to just being able to think of everything that's changed

all I need
Yes I want to talk to you When, everytime of my day Can we have our own place Where it's just us two You say something stupid I'll laugh, you'll laugh I don't want it to end Could it be like this, always I know it'll end soon Till then yes I want to talk to you

Talk to you
utter the words when it burns and you can't breathe let them fly like the fleeting scent of a perfumed candle say the words free them from the prison of your throat and when the world hears you let it laugh or maybe cry it doesn't matter what they think

Say it
Overwhelming loneliness, silence crawling att the walls, a slow burning hell, that burrows deeper every hour. Unraveling thoughts, spiraling deep inside, pressure expanding chest, a strom with no limits. Feeling rising up, lethally uncontainable, dredging between thoughts, blurring the world's edges. Tears spill freely, like endless salt lakes, a reddened face, unrecognizable, as if a ghost were wearing it. Hoping the ache to stop this endless echoing night, where even my shadow, feels tired of following. Still waiting for the calm that never arrives, only the darkness settles in, patient, familiar, curling around me as if it has been waiting for me to stop resisting.

Stop resisting
Love is when you are missing some of your teeth but you're not afraid to smile because you know your friends will still love you even though part of you is missing Love is when your hair is falling out but you don't wear a wig because you know your friends will still love you even though part of you is missing Love is when you lose your arms and legs but you don't hide away because you know your friends will still love you even though part of you is missing Love is when people accept you for who you are and you can relax and breathe free because that's what love is

Missing
I know no one reads this. And still I write. Sometimes I try to catch myself in the act, am I confessing to the page, or am I leaving breadcrumbs for someone I hope will stumble across me and finally say, “I see it. I see you.” But even if they did read it… what then? Understanding isn’t about words. They weren’t there. They didn’t grow up with that particular silence pressing against their ribs. They didn’t learn how to shrink in the same corners. They didn’t carry that specific kind of loneliness, the one that makes you feel invisible and exposed at the same time. You did. You walked through it without witnesses. You stitched yourself back together without applause. You became someone new in rooms that never noticed the old you dying. And now there’s this hunger to have someone look at you and understand the cost of your calm. The price behind your strength. The history folded into your quiet. But no one shares your eyes. They can look at you. They can love you. They can try. But they will always be translating. And some things were never meant to survive translation. So you write.

Confess to me
I think of things I cannot change, Of lost days, and paths so strange. My heart is tired, my heart is sore, Still I hope for something more. I sing to memories, soft and deep, To hold them close, before I sleep. Though life is hard, and nights are long, I keep my heart, I keep my song.

When I play guitar
I have tasted your absence. It is bitter – it clings between my teeth and burns the roof of my mouth. **** you for showing me what I had always longed for and then letting it slip away. There’s an endless river of hatred in my heart, and it infuriates me that a single sentence could turn it back to love.

Taste of absence
October 26, 2009 My love had a yearning But my yearning had no name So I carried that yearning Every day through the rain Oh the rain never stopped me, No, it just slowed me down ‘Til I first saw your smile Could turn things around My love had a yearning Now my yearning has a name And it’s name and yours dear Are one and the same I’m not saying that we’ll spent Every day in the sun But I won’t be complaining When my days are done James H. Webb
