Laying here lethargically
listless
remote
uninterested
My Heart cowers in the corner
Begs my Brain to fix it
Make it all right again
And it wants to;
It does.
When Heart hurts Brain wants to take up arms
To defend Heart's purity
But here we all sit
uncurious
apathetic
stupefied
Brain is callous to the world
But won't let the world take Heart.
She is still the princess in the gardens
Playing with the butterflies.
Heart will be protected.
So Brain sends out the anesthetics
To try and settle Hearts palpitations.
But when that happens,
The vivaciousness is lost.
And we sit here
dazed
detached
aloof
Maybe tomorrow Brain thinks,
We can try and bring her back.
Make her Lively
Spirited
SPARKLING, again.
But it must be a little at a time
These things can't be rushed
Where Heart is concerned,
They take time.
So for now,
indifferent
melancholy
torpid
is how she must be.

They come from all sides
So many wounds
So much torture
The compression seems endless
As do the tears
Some of the attacks for seen,
But could not be denied
But those to the outlying sentries that always stand tall..
The senseless assault
No warning, no reason at all
Those for seen
Don't hurt less
Just compound the pain
Focus it to a sharp point
To ****** between by *******
There is no breath
To yell or to scream
To beg or to humble
Whisper or mumble
An ask for help
It wouldn't come
It can't
It doesn't know how
Or what to do
To make right
So all the warrior queen can do
Is throw back her shoulders
Stand tall and proud
Knowing she will survive this too
And be stronger for her tenacity tomorrow

Beep
Chirp
Random Melody Plays
Notifications
But none of them say what I want them to say
So much information
And yet I am not clear on the answer
Do I even know the question?
How can we be so unknowing in the information age?
So many places to look
Most right at our fingertips
Lord knows we stare at that small glowing screen all day
We shouldn't need to question anything
Ring
Buzz
Chimes
Too bad our hearts can't just download the perfect app
So we'd know which one is ours
So we'd know what to say
When to say
When it's all okay
When you really can be you
Soft Jazz Tune
Funny Line
Doorbell
Maybe one of them is it this time

Heart beats fast
Blood pressures up
Buzz in your head
Every cell & follicle stands up
Peace on contact
Fire still burns
Laughter in conversation
Passion still churns
Knowledge & ideas shared
Desire holds tight
So much binds them
Yet fear divides
Unknown outcomes
Past mistakes
Current situations
Comfortable yet uncomfortable space
Knowing that now
Liked or not
Seems easier to stay in
Than giving the uncharted a shot
What if it's not
All that they dream
But what if it's more
Than just what's been seen
Should it be bottled
And left on a shelf
To molder and crumble
And shrink on itself
Or should they shirk off
The old ties that bind
And find out what happens
When they give it a try
No one wants to hurt
And no one wants to wound
But what if denial
Brings just what they fear
The loss of someone
Who has become so dear
A favorite line comes to mind
At these times
Fear is the mind killer
Perhaps the heart also withers
