I like you.
There,
I said it.
To myself.
You still don't
Know.

I sat beside
the waters edge,
and pondered
the life in the riverbeds.
I wondered how
it all began,
the fish,
the tides,
and the small
grains of sand.
It seems to be
a question to me,
just how exactly
it all came to be.
It's complex,
yet simple,
and began
with a ripple,
from the birds,
to the turtles,
to the small
little minnows.
This world is a circle,
a never ending cycle.
What lives always dies,
but secured with a tie,
will return back to live,
only to return back to die.
I wrote this, as I sat by the river, and watched the sunset.
Sings like a swallow
Hummingbird flutters deftly
Fierce as an eagle*
.....

Who can guess which bird this is? ;)
I found my heart today;
   buried underneath smoke
   & sorrows not meant
   for this world...

Edges sharp as razors,
   cold to the touch;
   ice would be warmer
   but I'm so ******* cold.
Oh, the sheep have fangs!
   They have buried them
   within my fickle flesh!

They tear and gnaw until
   I am, to the bone, broken.
Woe to me!
I hear the ghost of you, again.
Creeping up and stabbing my heart,
but never killing me all the way.
There's a lot left to say;
Not a lot of time to say.
I'll be dead before I'm 30,
And I wish I could stay.

I have given you all of my heart,
For I have loved you from the start.
Your eyes look through my soul,
You see your name on my heart.

I don't know when, where, or why.
I know one day we'll be together.
I don't know how long, but I'm sorry
That you'll have to live with losing me.
Written in one of the few times I have clarity. All the noises of life became still, and I just wanted you to know that I still believe in us. I'm a tormented soul because there's bigger things going on then I ever tell you. But one day I'll show you everything about me, and I'll trust you like I once did. For now, we'll bear our scars and carry our crosses until you finally decide to take a chance and I finally decide to be faithful to only one.

I love you.
