when i had nothing i thought i needed you
i was lonely i just wanted to breathe with you
now that im okay i second guess you
convenience is confusing
im sorry i might have lied to you
now that im okay i dont think i need you
god has a funny way of healing me
i guess this time he used you
im sorry i might have lied to you
but i promise for a few minutes i did love you
When you
Look at me
I feel electrified
Almost terrified
I know just what
Would happen
If you happened to me  
If I had to
Happen upon you
I would be utterly
Absolutely intoxicated
By you.

it's risky to talk to you
because all i can do is smile
and i'm afraid
that you'll know
everything
that i'm
not telling
you

Silence
It’s something that many people
Can’t handle
In copious amounts
In this day and age
We resort to coping mechanisms
That deflect from much needed
Self reflection
Silence
It scares some to their core
Because they’ve become so disconnected
With themselves
Silence
It entices others
With its alluring illusion of peace
Silence

The poet lives two lives.
One on the outside,
And one in their mind.

When you look in their eyes
You could see an abyss.

If you looked long enough
You could sink into it.

But most people don’t see it.

Take the time to read the words, though,
And you would know for sure.

The poet lives in two different worlds.
A little escape from the madness.
Or maybe, into.
