See her dance, like a flickering flame. Emitting from a single wick. Flirting with the air, sultry and slow, fluid with a golden glow. Feeding your soul Filling up that hole To the brim Explode.

Dance

See her dance, like a flickering flame. Emitting from a single wick. Flirting with the air, sultry and slow, fluid with a golden glow. Feeding your soul Filling up that hole To the brim Explode.

I'm nocturnal But I'm glowing inside. One may not see Looking from the outside. Upside and down Side to side Confusion all around. Angry in retrospect No longer more I found the confidence To break away from this internal state of war. And to explore, How to love The joys of a stable core. Solitude a welcoming friend I failed to comprehend, I'm sorry dear one It was you I needed to work on all along. Neglecting you were here for the long run, allowing external influences To consume, engulf, dictate, What I was when it was you But you are me and I am you. I shall not forget the mark you leave Because without you I'll give in To all my insecurities. Destroying us, Like a crumbling statue Leaking water and all that spews. No longer will I be whole. Who is you? For you are not a person. Non-exsistent. You're my self-worth, my credence My internal self. And till today you belonged detached, Mismatched, unattached. And I shall obliterate, that cognitive state. For this weak flame shall smother, And burn bright for those who wish to see. You are my definitions My interests, hobbies, passions Replies and reactions. You are the tastes buds I so dearly love. The endless daydreams I conjure My demure, For you are me when I am secure.

I'm nocturnal But I'm glowing inside. One may not see Looking from the outside. Upside and down Side to side Confusion all around. Angry in retrospect No longer more I found the confidence To break away from this internal state of war. And to explore, How to love The joys of a stable core. Solitude a welcoming friend I failed to comprehend, I'm sorry dear one It was you I needed to work on all along.

I wish you could see me the way you saw her. Invest in her hobbies, And all she concurs. Knowing her in and out, The infatuation the adoration. I may be with you There is no difference. I cannot control your point of views My mind refuses to acquiesce. I wonder how you would be, The difference in all possibilities You on my end instead Feeling the pains of an unrequited lover's bed. She is the bane of my insecurities What was once a strong and confident woman Has succumbed and bathes in endless pain. How little I've become to let a lover's past Possess me feeling inhumane. I wish I could see me before I saw her. Accepting you've moved on Loving me Why do I still feel so withdrawn? I wish I could believe you love me more than you did her. Is it my thirst for knowledge The reason I'm broken? Knowing all you've done for her Yet none for me? The time and energy I've always longed for, I wish all you did for her you did for me. I want to be secure with you, To keep on loving you the way I do. Enjoying our friendship and the intimacy we share You care, I know. But I'm struggling to stay happy with you To forgive and let go. I wish you knew how much I love you. The frustration I'm going through To stay with you hoping, You see more in me than what you saw in her. Though I do not know For your feelings are never shown. The truth will set me free And I'll no longer wish you could see me the way you saw her.
