He's on the shore
I'm beneath the sand
He has my heart
Beat in his hand.


-- Eleanor

I tried to write you
A letter of love
But I could see only him
In the stars above.


-- Eleanor

I want you more than I've ever wanted anyone.
But if you must go,
If you want to go, I want you to know
That it's okay.
It's okay.


-- Eleanor

You were a petal of a rose
That settled on my palm
And I blew you away.


-- Eleanor

I sit at the same table as you
and wonder.
Do you miss me
half as much as I do you.
Is there any chance
you would think of the past
and hope you had me
in your arms again.
You have seen all of me.
My best, my worst,
my regular sorry state.
I have put you everywhere.
Dreams, nightmares,
the past and the future.

I wonder if I ever meant anything to you.
But chances are, people love and they forget.
They forget the sun when the moon lays low
and when the dawn breaks it all,
they forget the night
and cherish the day.

It is okay, you owe me nothing.
It just hurts because you are everything.


-- Eleanor

In your vacant look
Dwells my end.


-- Eleanor

Love poem
Never read
In a letter
Never sent.

Self-inflicted torment.


-- Eleanor
