Where?
Eli Thurston May 2020
Where? Where will the future take us? Where will we find ourselves when we reach it? The unknown lies ahead. It weaves a tapestry of disastrous beauty. When chaos cannot leap off the edge of order, what balance can we find in the solitude of existence? A blind thought lives in bliss. Open your mind and see.

All I Wanna Do
Eli Thurston Jul 2016
When all I wanna do is see you,
It takes strength to cage that feeling,
When all I wanna do is kiss you,
But need to give you space for breathing,
When all I wanna do is touch you,
I cannot stop my heart from bleeding,
When all I wanna do is love you,
But still unsure of its true meaning.

My Mind Vs. My Heart
Eli Thurston Jul 2016
I stare into the abyss that I call my heart,
Asking for the truth, but getting no remark,
My mind, on the other hand, has so much to say,
But can I trust the words and lies that it likes to throw at me?

I question every flutter of my fragile, silent heart,
I wonder if today will be the day we finally part,
And even though I know that everything will be okay,
My mind pretends to be my heart and likes to mess with me.

The Land of In Between
Eli Thurston Jul 2016
In the land of in between,
Where everything's hidden and everything's seen,
Where the unsure is sure and truth tells its lies,
And where everything's boring, yet full of surprise,
I hate in between because mystery lingers,
When words are a gun and you can't pull the trigger,
I run and I hide cause I want to be free,
But I keep ending up in the dark in between.

Lies Are Like Fire
Eli Thurston Jul 2016
Lies are like fire,
So hard to contain,
They rise and they rage,
And they cause hurt and pain,
Be careful with fire
It cannot be tamed,
So use it with caution,
When starting a flame.

Shadows
Eli Thurston Jul 2016
Do shadows ever go away,
When darkness hits us do they fade,
Or do they stay there hung in silence,
Blinded by the nights pure violence,
Do shadows ever see the sun,
When given light and told to run,
The shadow that still lives in me,
It craves the dark but fights to see.

I Am Your Secret
Eli Thurston Jul 2016
I am your secret,
I am your lie,
Tucked deep inside of your divided life,
I am your secret,
I am your shame,
If this is all real, then why hide me away,
I am your secret,
I am your truth,
But sometimes the lie is still better to you,
I am your secret,
I am your lover,
Choose me or a lie, you would still choose the latter.

Those Three Words
Eli Thurston Jun 2016
Those three little words that I need to say,
I hide them and keep them down inside of me,
And until I know that you feel the same way,
I'll show you the truth of those words every day.

Tongue Twister!
Eli Thurston Jun 2016
Whether one would wish well,
Well wishing with water,
When writing wrong words,
Would weaken another,
I sadly suggest,
A short sentence sees sun,
Sometimes silly sounds,
Start slowly with one.

You Should Know
Eli Thurston Jun 2016
From the dimples on your cheeks,
To the way that you smile,
From the touch of your hand,
Every once and a while,
When I hold you real close,
I don't want to let go,
I miss you the most,
And just thought you should know.

Sail On
Eli Thurston Jun 2016
Bracing for an unforseen storm,
I ride the feathery blue waves that pull me closer to you,
At every whispering cloud I fear thunder,
Only to hear the peaceful melody of the ocean,
Sail on...sail on.

Thief
Eli Thurston Jun 2016
I've traveled down this road before,
It's scary to see you so unsure,
I've been broken once and I let him inside,
Your indecisive heart makes me want to hide mine,
The path that we walk on is two different ways,
Your path is a new one, I've had mine for days,
I want you, I do, but my mind's yelling no,
My heart is so fragile, I'm not sure where to go,
So whatever happens, know this to be true,
My mind was the thief that stole my heart from you.
Sometimes the mind can go against what your feeling. This is what I've gone through.

The Broken Ones
Eli Thurston Jun 2016
I am like the broken ones,
The ones that are not whole,
Like pieces scattered round about,
The dust that once was gold,
I am like the broken ones,
Here in the dark I lie,
And even in my darkest hour,
I whisper my loudest cry.
I wrote this a while back when I was going through a dark depression.
