Deep complexity embedded in these thoughts
That weave their way through my nervous system.
Pressure rises in my chest.
Threatening to spill these feelings through my tightly sealed lips.

My mind continues to wrap itself in circles around the truth.
Attempting to form the words to explain how I feel.
I long to scream them.
To free them.
To let you know exactly what this means.

These days are growing shorter.
These sleepless nights are becoming longer and longer.
Tossing and turning.
Watching the minute hand pass
Oh too slowly.
The loudest sound in my head.
Echoing in the air.
Taunting me as it goes.

Moonlight shines through the window in a river of light
Casting lonely shadows on the wall.
Bringing to mind the darkness he portrayed.
Clear is the rain that falls on the worst of days.
Like a teenage girl falling in love, it can only fall.
Mess with what it stands for
and its razor sharp edges will become clean crisp cuts to your ego.

Rain that pours in lines and patterns
-Not in nature’s straight lines of perfection.-
Can pour reality into your soul, make you see what I could not.
Protect and preserve the fragile hearts of ones she cares for.
They will not end up like her.

The transparent burst of hope carried in by the wind,
Trying to breathe life back into the shattered world that is her mind.
Clear was the honest warnings she subconsciously heard but failed to heed.
Clear was the patronizing, “I told you so.” In the back of her mind.
The translucent shade that was her nightmare,
Now prevails to be her one and only dream.
It has saved her, it has made her.
I feel myself struggling.
Too much wall
not enough paint.
Trying to roll out enough of me
for everyone.
Crammed in between all the things I live for.
I'm gonna miss this
but I'm not gonna stop wanting that.
My roots are planted.
They won't budge.
My branches reach.
They tug and pull.
These feelings have made a tugging war of my soul.
If home is where the heart is,
why does mine love to venture?
It floats away and strays in the wind.
The little girl in me says stay
where you were raised.
The me i know best
says run.
Truth be told
this growing thing
is getting old.
Little streams of light
sneak past the curtains.
Early Sunday morning.
My internal alarm blares.
Conflict brews in my mind
Rather to wake
or fall back into sleep.
The smell of coffee
taunting my senses.
And sights of you
intriguing my interest.
Where we will be today
I am not sure
It's generally a mystery.
Though your presence
Is a feeling of immense comfort.
I long to feel your touch on mine
So I rise without discontent
And let the sun break trough the shades.
These feelings for you
they have me wound up tight.
I'm young but impatient.
They say I'm gonna miss these days.
I long for that house on the hillside
those late night talks
and good morning kisses.
To rolling over at 2 a.m. with you by my side.
To calling you mine for the long haul.
The faces of children with my eyes and your smile.
When we are young and free
or old and weak.
I wanna feel your love forever.
Every insignificant choice
leading me down another long and winding road.
From the shaking of my hands and nervous tremble of my voice
to the long over due release of a heavy load.
From when my hands were tied
to when my touch met yours.
One thing stays the same
no matter the path I choose.
When I was intensely sad
or unavoidably alone.
You were always around
reminding me of the good I never had.
I find myself pacing and sighing
trying to condense my feelings into words.
My mind recalls insignificant details
and moments accumulated in my memory
that spark my feelings for you.
igniting my love into a feeling of ecstasy like no other.
I translate these moments into reasons.
Reasons that add up to other reasons
or multiply into even greater feelings for you.
But as for words..there are none.
**** it I can try but it will just fall short every time.
These words don't exist.
Words aren't passion or love
they are means of communication.
And passion or love I can not communicate.
In every smile.
In every look.
In every long car ride I spend laughing beside you.
In every day I spend with you for the rest of my life.
Thats where my love and passion resides.
I hope that you find it there
and I hope you find comfort within that.
