I liked today...
I had a peaceful rest,
Carefree laughs,
And held hands
With someone who cares
It may happen again,
But I want to remain with this feeling,
Just for a little longer...
I hope I like tomorrow as well.

Capturing a moment,
To keep it as remembrance;
A light to run to,
When all else
Falls to dark...
Sometimes to share,
Sometimes to treasure;
For everyone's eyes
Or my heart only to feel...
I'll find you again
To feel happiness,
And warmth;
To be wanted again-
And be reminded of love...

To be haunted
By voices of people
I have known,
But will never meet;
To be drawn
Into worlds
I have explored,
But will never see;
The sheer emotion of reading,
Magnifies and withers across each page;
With ink tearing into our hearts,
Leaving us yearning at each epilogue...

The light is dimming:
Every year, hour, minute
Slowly passes in silence
In distances, lost and forgotten
The light is dying:
Slowly fading in memories
Revisited countless times
By lonely, wrinkled hearts
The light snuffs out:
Tears of regret staining young hearts
Seeking forgiveness for time lost
Words unspoken, love neglected

The light filters through
The cracks of my broken heart,
Crumbling in loneliness;
Decay, eating at the corners;
Within and without...
Slowly the end creeps closer,
Tormenting my tired soul
With memories and nightmares;
Staining my thoughts with hope
To try to live, breathe a little while longer.

In the spaces between
The seconds passing by,
My running heartbeats,
My soul and my mind;
I shall love you always...

I am afraid...
Of closing the space in-between,
To read into words unspoken;
Feel emotions raging, left unexpressed,
Listen to aches ignored.
I am afraid--
Of basking in stolen smiles,
To see eyes shining, hopeful even in the dark;
Witness hurt borne behind iron resolve,
Absorb the tenderness of love unrequited.
Everyone I meet is beautiful,
But I am afraid to look at anyone anymore...

That moment of absolute clarity,
When you can feel
The truths you have always known-
Fit in with perspective
Right down to your bones...
Like a forgotten thought, so familiar
Snaps into place and knocks off your breath;
A weight heavier than Time
Settling on your ancient soul-
Reminding you of your fleeting existence...
We are living through
The consequences of our history;
The light as well as darker shades of humanity
Let's not add to the burdens
Our children will carry someday...

It feels unbounded,
expanded beyond wrinkles,
hammered by swinging pendulums;
hardened, with time slipping by...
I feel bound
by forgotten promises,
lost and unfounded;
with tearful, tired eyes.
In the dark, I find words I can barely see,
feelings I can barely contain;
falling through the cracks,
overwhelmed with disdain...
I see no end to this depthless void...

You think I am a happy person...
I know I dont trust you enough
To show you my pain.
--
She wears a smile
And shares her warmth,
She wipes her tears
And hides her scars;
You see the rainbow she exudes,
Because she doesn't trust you--
With her festering darkness
And the thunderstorm she survived.
She hides her demons
Behind masks of her strength,
And iron will--
While they devour her from within;
You will never get to see it,
She will never let you in...
No one will have the power
To hurt her - never again.
