jack-14 - Hello Poetry

Where are you The one who could cry Where are you The one who refused to let the world die Where are you now? Did I imagine those days? I remember watching a tear run down your face Wishing I could feel too Your emotion lighting the world around you Pulling me closer Hoping to catch some of your spark I look down on you now And can barely separate you from the dark What happened to your passion? Your thirst to grow? Did you grow old? When did you get so cold?

There are so many songs, but the one thing you always taught me, was to feel every moment and every beat. We would sit, together, and listen to it complete. If it was our only song, we would find a new way to appreciate it each time as if it were our first. How each moment with you felt so sweet. Thinking all of this, while fearing I might say too much, I lay back down in silence, and appreciate your touch.

We are on lost ground Riding around in a revolving spiral Thousands of us Thousands of spirals With no end in sight We spend our time hiding All day and all night Even in our sleep We don't even know what we're hiding from As time goes on Hiding becomes more and more complex We've almost tried everything we can think of Everyday we create a new distraction A new way too keep us from finding out what we're hiding from We don't like being scared But it's a good distraction Cooking is fun, so we eat Singing is fun, so we listen and we dance That'll keep us busy for a while But every so often Thoughts creep back in We can only distract our self for so long Alarm bells start ringing We have been hiding from our self all along We are the hider and the seeker All at once We are every distraction, every song and every game You know it, too You could put all of this to an end You could stop hiding You know you want to be found But you hide for the thrill of it For the escape that exists only inside this endless game we've made You hide for the journey that you don't want to end So you pretend You aren't in control You're at war with yourself One hand hiding One hand seeking Yet when you rub them together You're neither lost nor found You are balancing on a fine line Trying not to lean towards either side Sometimes you might trip and fall Laugh and cry It's all part of the ride And I understand why You are where you want to be Doing what you want to do We are on lost ground Waiting to be found

I am what I am today for all my yesterdays Realities kept hidden deep inside this maze Surrounded by these walls of fear Trapped inside with no escape clear Walking through this foggy trail Exploring my tailor-made jail Searching for a slither of light In what seems to be an endless night Trying to give life a chance All my dreams of song and dance Never given a single chance Too weak to manifest my desires All my fantasies a bunch of liars Thought I had the strength to be who I am Thought I could take on life without a plan Thoughts without action Distraction Every idea clouded by a thick fog My body sinking into an endless bog Slowly consumed by everything around me Falling into the abyss There is nothing easier than this

I know I will live As long as I can write And writing is pretty easy I could write all night...

If you chase it You'll never find it If you think that you missed it You'll never get it If you wonder where it's gone You never had it If you like how these words make you feel Read them and understand What makes life real

The way the night sky reflects off of your eyes and into mine The way the stars shine and fill you with light The warmth of your embrace on this cold winter night A moment has never felt so right With a clear mind and an exposed heart This is where life starts

I like the shape of your face

The way the night sky reflects off of your eyes and into mine The way the stars shine and fill you with light The warmth of your embrace on this cold winter night A moment has never felt so right With a clear mind and an exposed heart This is where life starts

You made me see the best and worst every side of you There is nothing you could do Except make me fall for you We lay together for hours on end No words exchanged Nothing needed to be said No moments changed You break the silence with a silly thought You have a pull on me that cannot be fought Watching you run from place to place Seeing beauty in all things big and small A brick in a wall To the stars in space You grasp to life as not to lose grip I watch to make sure you don't slip You give me a reason I need to move A reason why I need to improve You are the most complex thing I've ever tried to understand Yet no matter how hard I tried I could not keep hold of your hand I did not move when I knew I could I did not speak when I knew I should You made me see the best and worst every side of me The kind, the loving, the cursed I could spend a lifetime trying to recreate moments we will never forget Moments we will never regret I will find a way to pull through While every day Missing you

Missing You

You made me see the best and worst every side of you There is nothing you could do Except make me fall for you We lay together for hours on end No words exchanged Nothing needed to be said No moments changed You break the silence with a silly thought You have a pull on me that cannot be fought Watching you run from place to place Seeing beauty in all things big and small A brick in a wall To the stars in space You grasp to life as not to lose grip I watch to make sure you don't slip You give me a reason I need to move A reason why I need to improve You are the most complex thing I've ever tried to understand Yet no matter how hard I tried I could not keep hold of your hand I did not move when I knew I could I did not speak when I knew I should You made me see the best and worst every side of me The kind, the loving, the cursed I could spend a lifetime trying to recreate moments we will never forget Moments we will never regret I will find a way to pull through While every day Missing you

I could live in my brain for eternity Say not a word and it wouldn't bother me Hold every thought and every breath Just me, a room and certain death
