Paralyzed with fear
Yet itching with
This kinetic energy

I want to run
But I'm too afraid of
What's ahead

Don't look back
Can't look forward
Just watch the footfalls

Inching onward
Wanting to discover and yet
Paralyzed with fear

Nothing but fragments
A picture frame with no picture
I can't see you, yet you remain
In the back of my mind
You remain
These thoughts don't connect
Don't flow
I can't seem to make sense of anything
Anything but
*You

I'm having a rough time with it again.
It's like mountains and valleys.
If I'm feeling great
I can make it to the top of a mountain.
But right now I'm down in the valley.
And looking at the next mountain,
I don't want to climb it,
Because I know that beyond it there lie
More valleys.
So I may just stay here.

I remember our innocence
You would slip your hand in mine
Telling me we would be together
Forever

Now looking back, we were children
We didn't understand then world
The battles we would fight
Uphill wars to be just
Us

And yet, here we are, still lost.
Lost in our beautiful innocence

Together

Forever

Far from insanity.
   Thoughts in a down-
       Ward spiral. Falling hard
            For the one I cannot have,
               But wondering what awaits
                   When daylight comes again.
Do  you  recognize  my  sweet  agony?

It pounds in my head
Those three words
I don't know if you feel the same way, I just pray you do
But I could never
Ever
Tell you
I love you
