All the while, all the ****** while,
she stood there, waiting for me
to unlock the gate in the wall
But I was the fool, you see, 
to think I held the key
For all the while,
the prisoner
  was me, 
not she
I’m adrift in this lonely sea.
Waiting for someone to rescue me.
The water is as cold as ice.
I feel like I am being crushed by a vice.

This is how I feel inside.
Always thinking it would be better if I died.
How can I feel so alone?
All I want is a girl to call my own.

Can I have someone who really loves me?
Or is that something that will never be?
As I sink back into my head.
The future is something I begin to dread.

I’m drowning in a sea of loneliness.
I can’t help but embrace the coldness.
So I am now lost at sea.
I hope someone will miss me.

As my heart looks around
A Sea of Mess to be found..

Cluttered is my mind
A way through, will I find?

Bewildered and unsteady
I begin though not ready..

With no end in sight
Will I win this fight?

Can I stand the reflections
Of limitless imperfections?

Inner space, a safe haven
Yet my world its not saving..

And the work to be done
May not be so much fun..

In me, a child wants play
With tasks she won't stay..

Discipline caused her fear
She resists seeing the mirror..

But perhaps she would find
A reflection not unkind..

Compassion and strength
Companions for the length..

Never alone with the mess
An internal team makes it less..

Of an upsetting event
Echoing so much love sent..

From all goodness known
She will make this her home.

She is a summer and a winter person,
a mountain and a desert person.
The arches of her upper lip come to points
above a bulge that she ***** into her mouth
and picks at with her lower teeth.
A girl once told her she had a perfect mouth.
A boy once told her that her *******
were perfect teardrops.
They would lay together as one.
He would kiss her stomach
while sliding his hand under her lower back.
She would weave her hands into his hair
and pull their faces together
not to kiss but to stare
into his pale blue eyes.
She has green eyes, dark hair, and pale skin.
He was similar only in skin.
He was fall and spring,
forest and river.
Together they could have spanned the seasons.
She loved him like the flower loves the soil.
His eyes could see forever
and she would watch their distant gaze
and feel blind.
The soil does not need the flower.
