I want to be

I wanna be the river that catches the waterfall storming down from on high despite the force , ill welcome the fury as long as it ends up with me , and we finish the ride together
I want to be the air that holds up your wings in flight , despite the distance or how often , ill carry you wherever you want to travel , you just have to know that I'm their to hold you
I want to be the other end of your hearts echo,  whenever you call and the first and last smile you see every dawn and dusk , just my love filled gaze , here because i want to be here
Loving you because that's all I want to do
Growing old , because that's were I want to be
, anywhere , anywhere you are ,
My love , I simply want the job !
I love you ,I love you
I love you my " first last and forever "
And I want the job !

Later

She said she'd get it later ,
when she saw that he had called
So many things she had to do tend ,
to on her few days off

While she's out and galavanting
His thoughts would cross her mind
Even though it would take a few seconds
She just didn't have the time

Serenades had all but dried up
She no longer heard him sing
He doesn't text her half as much
Cuz she's so busy with everything.

***** dishes , and running errands
For those who don't put her first
And then free time to Netflix
She had no idea how much it hurt

Before she knew it another day gone
Another handful of moments missed
Although her day was full of things done
None if him to reminisce

She ignored his texts till later
She decided not to answer her phone
She didn't realize he was calling
Because something was feeling wrong

When she finally decided to call him
He wasn't waiting anymore
He was calling to say goodbye
Because he'd been called home to the Lord .

The tempest inside me

So much love, my insides tempest fury
Reciprocation a road not traveled
My mind , heart, and soul,they  play the jury
Until the rendering judges gavel

A waterfall of affection given
An arid stream ,it seems in return
Only to her heart, that mine seems driven
Tears from her apathy makes my eyes burn

A pleaded case, seems to fall on deaf ears.
The tempest bellows, making my ears ring
Knowing the verdict can realize my fears
To give in so much, and leave in nothing

Can she not see, whats on the horizon
Can she not see, the red storm is rising.

" I show you the evening stars at night and whisper , that's everything I love about you, then I show you my empty hand, and say these are all the things I don't "

A sand filled footprint bares no weight on the shore at all
And so goes the distant memories into the wind
Apparitions , they leave no remnants
Leaving us to wonder, if they ever were
Or just our own delusion of a sentimental heartbeat
Until we are left only to question ourselves about the reality of it all in the first place...,,,

Unfamiliar murmurings

alone in the darkness, the secluded  sound makes its presence known
Unfamiliar murmurings seem to ripple the swells of your very own breathing
Something different amidst a routine endeavor
And yet it still has not come clear
until the chill
An arrow straight through the ***** poisoned with the revelation that its the echoes to your own heartbeat that were made anew
Because you chased his away
And he just always was
Maybe she will miss me when I'm gone

Afraid

I see the fear , hear it in her voice
She need not say but I know , she'd rather keep the norm than chase the moon.
Ride a bicycle with her past and leave the future left to uncertainty.
A shining love destined for shadows.
Unwilling to let go,and trust the roads paved for our affection.
A behind the smile lay a lifetime of wishes shared , fantasies daydreamed , and even memories made.
To much to lose , and everything to gain.
Stick with the safety of what she knows , rather than take a chance on what she doesn't.
True love only passes once in a lifetime , and she's willing to let it pass for a piece of her past.
She hides the ring , but doesn't bury it , she hides the love but won't pursue it.
Under the cloak if darkness I find her waiting , I want her to take my hand , step into tomorrow together , but shell never truly say goodbye to then , she wants the now , but she's afraid of tomorrow,
A tomorrow that my never be , because she's afraid
