I can feel you
Through the rhythm of your writing

It may be
That you are singing in the rain
Happy and free
Or living in agony of deep pain

The beat,
living through each word
Your diction,
dancing among the syntax
The tone,
amplifying to every phrase

You,
I feel.
Through your writing,
I can feel you.

Your expression,
Deserves more than any appreciation

I love you
Always wishing to be there
For you
Showing you, I care

So please
Keep on writing
Continue moving me with your sound
Allow me to advance along
The flowing of your words
Surfing through your sentences

Please
Keep telling your story
Continue writing with your feelings
Allow your thoughts to develop
Into the beautiful river
Of your writing

You mistook my hurting for weakness
I don't know how -  but you made me feel this
Love was a vague memory until meeting you
Blinded by your lust
But now I can see through

I see all the way through you
Through the clouds in your head and the lies in your eyes
Your mask I see right behind
And the truth i do find
I know your inner most secrets
The thoughts you buried deepest
The fears that occupy your mind
I know if I look harder more I will find

Don't underestimate my divine power
I see and hear more than I desire
One step ahead of your next move
I know which way your going to choose

It's not me that's caught in your web
My spell you be under
Come at me
And I'll bring the thunder

I had a sinking feeling in my gut
But the words I could not muster up
The image of you and her sitting upon the martial bed
Did the thought of me even enter your head?

Pandora's box had been opened
Feelings spoke about but they were too hardened
Bringing it all back to the surface and I cannot handle the emotions

Too many questions I have unanswered
Your efforts more and more substandard
The fire in our love fizzled out
From the very moment I started to doubt

I had given you all of my devotion
And you buried it all, all in one motion
You made me talk about the things I had buried deep
You mended me piece by piece

And now I find myself back at the beginning
The love inside of me thinning
Back to square one
Empty and  undone

She's never thought she was beautiful
She saw beauty in everything
From the tall pines
To the withered down bricks on the side of our home.
She saw beauty in me
She encouraged and supported me,
When no one else dared.
All I've ever wanted was for her to love herself as much as I do.
Because she's shown me so much along the years,
From what it means to love and be loved,
To how it feels to run my hand down her hair,
And have a true promise of eternity.
I hold her tight through the nights
And chase her fears away
As she does for me.
And I will love her until the day comes
Where we're withered and gray
And the feeling of her insecurities go away.
And even after our final breaths,
I'll love her after death

The rising anxiety
Flares my insecurity.
I clear my throat,
The words just
won't come out right.
And I stutter and avoid
Staring at my audience
And I bit my lip,
Remembering hours
Of memorizing my topic
Only to forget it
Right on the spot.
I gather my courage and do my best
I finish my presentation
And they clap politely
And the relief is my refuge as I sit
With something of pride in my eyes.
