Some people are like stars,
so close yet so far away.

Some people are like the moon,
Shining so bright, but rarely noticed.

Some people are like comets,
They burn so bright and so fast that they don't last.

Some people are like constellations,
They look so put together when really everything is far from it.

Some people are like the night sky,
They look so dark far away, but really are filled with light.

They're calling me
The trees, the wind
beckoning to join them
They're taunting me
The ferns, the streams
whispering and boasting

It's what I need, yet cannot have
And yet still they call me
They urge me and tempt me
Promising joy and peace
But yet, I stay away

Songs of birds and warmth of sun
Begging me to join them
But responsibility keeps me still
I shy away from my desires
I turn away from lasting peace
And turn instead to dullness

The trees and wind will quiet
The ferns and streams will sober
The birds will stop singing and the sun will stop shining
As I resist the Call of Nature

Once again, alone.
And I have been for the longest while, not physically but spiritually. I stopped believing in God a couple of years ago when everything broke inside of me, and now that I'm not alright but at least not that broken, I am alone.

It is not that kind of loneliness that could be fixed with tequila shots or drunk kisses at the back of some bar. I've done that. Alone as of having no one. And I have people in my life.

I really don't know what I'm looking for. Maybe it could be someone to fill up all the cracks in my soul or someone to renew it all entirely. I don't mind either.

I just need a person.

I just don't
Want to share
You with
Anyone

I need you
I want you
I think about you
Is that my fault?

Others treat you
Like you are nothing
And pass you around
Like it's a joke

That's why I stay
Inside
Don't let anyone
See me and you hide
