How can a glance
Possibly determine your stance
You take one look
as if I'm a book
And then you'll decide
if I'm a worthy guide
How can you possible determine in a glance
How you'll feel about me without even a dance

I can hear the blood in my ears
a steady thrumming
I feel my body succumbing
To the steady pulse
of my nervous habits
Lifting and picking
It's itching
begging
pleading
To come out and play
"Don't lead to my dismay"

The world seems so dark
But peer into the night skies
You might need to squint your eyes
or look far and wide
But if you wait long enough
Twinkling stars will appear
Shining diamonds in the night
Giving you even just a little light
and if you focus and connect the dots
You'll see what can connect nations
You might even see some silver constellations

What do I do when I'm left to collect dust
to be surrounded by and breathe in the scent of must
All I can do is sit here and rust
and watch a once shiny surface brown and crust

I can't forget
and I won't forgive
But what is left
When I can't even live
I'm so empty
Hollow
and broken
All my cries are left
u n s p o k e n
And if I were
To scream
Kick
and thrash
The darkness swallows and bashes
Until all that's left
are the ashes

I've seen the dark side of the moon
and I never want to go back
All light was cast out
Nothing could escape
Not even a shout
I wanted to scream
But I was held down
Mouth on mouth
I didn't enjoy it
No, I wanted out
And I wanted it now
I was being strangled
With cruel words disguised
and the fear I felt inside
I tried to escape
but was always pulled back in
A moon stuck in orbit
One full of sin
I don't know if I believe in God
Or Jesus or Mary
Especially if when you "repent"
all is forgiven
I can't bring myself to forgive
and I can't forget
What happened a month after I turned 11
and you were only 10
But you,
You don't have any regret
We were so young
I see that now
But you knew it was wrong
but did it anyhow

I love the little messages I get
You read my words
and I read yours

I suppose I'm "gifted" and "mature"
at least that's what you tell me
So much that it's engrained in my brain
After all, you can't wash out every stain
You say "gifted"
I say trapped
I just want to fall into the endless black
They won't judge me there
I promise I'll make my way back
I want to plummet
and feel the rush
Without worrying about having to claw my way up
You say "mature"
I say scarred and insecure
I can't look at her face
But I see her in every place
I want the ground to swallow me up
But that would bring it all back
Her hands on me
Pushing me down
No, I don't want that
I would rather fall and fall and fall
With no feeling at all
Into the endless gray
So
yes
I guess I am "gifted" and "mature"
If that means trapped and insecure
Your empty words mean nothing to me
Unless they can see what's hidden underneath

I can't shake that feeling
That something I have is slowly fleeting
I can't see it
But I know it's leaving

Bits of me are scattered about
Wisps of smoke from a candle that's been blown out
Floating up to the heavens
Something I hadn't thought about till I was well past my sevens
I don't understand where they came from
or where they will go
All I can do is watch them and crow
I feel whole
But that must not be true
It must be something my mind made up
A new shade of blue
