The future is the hipbone of our relationship. I try my best to enjoy the moments we have together now, but they're so few and far between. So I look to the future, but the unknowingness doesn't bring me any solace.
Thinking of the future isn't working either, but that's the only place that I can think of where we don't have to hide.

This is just become a place I share my personal feelings, excuse this if it isn't actually poetry.

The Phantom

Seems I've found myself in someone else, and now that those embers have gone, my shadow goes with it.

Once again, who am I? Am I the lovelorn insecurities? Am I caring and compassionate or have I just convinced myself I am?
Am I true and trife, or am I just a masked phantom, waiting to drop the curtains with the chandelier, and say I love you again?

Kicking and Screaming

Maybe we aren't meant for each other, whatever that means, but I still want to be with you.
Whether fate or god pre-ordained it.
I will protest god and fate kicking and screaming.
And even if I lost you, my love for you would never fade..

The Dog and the Cat

Like a cat, you like the attention, and when it's given, you turn your tail in disdain. I hold on tight, hurting you and hurting you. I haven't wanted to let go.
But you need someone more graceful, more patient, someone of stronger will.
I'm not that.
I'm a dog, in need of attention. We're opposites. I gnaw on your tail and you only see my teeth.

I will miss you..

Fear

Sometimes I wish I was scared of something other than losing you.
Lions, tigers, or bears.
But none of those things compare.
