Can't even join the
        rat race

Lonely, sitting here
          caged.
Silent-
   Still-
Listening-
   Observing-
Reasoning-
   Waiting-
For the right moment-
    For the right distance-
Precise timing-
    Then--
LEAP!!!
Attacking the unsuspecting prey!
    clinging!
To my socks-
Kicking!     
   clawing!
Running away.
   hiding-
Behind the sofa
  
My cat-
BRIE!(as in cheese)

There's a leak in the faucet
It drips your name
The right pedal on my bike
Keeps coming lose
Like the way you tugged at my heart
I let it fall apart for you

You ripped up the floor boards
Stripped me to naked flesh
And bleached bones
i looked away
While you stared in silence
Uncovering the person beneath my shell
Time to change has come and gone....
Watch your fears become your God....

It's your decision?
It's your decision…

Overwhelmed, you chose to run....
Apathetic to the stunned....

It's your decision?
It's your decision…

You feed the fire that burned you....
To feel the pain that spurs you….

It's your decision?
It's your decision…

No one plans to take the path that brings one down...
And here you stand before me and say it's over...

It's your decision?
It's your decision…

Yes, it might seem to be your first thought...
Yes, it hurts to you know you're bought...

It's your decision?
It's your decision…

The lies we tell ourselves to overcome...
To **** those feelings of what we want...

It's your decision?
It's your decision…

We sit and watch the clock...
Waiting for the feelings to die...

It's your decision?
It's your decision…

Nine years since you went away,
I still think of you,
I still love you.
I often wonder if I make you proud,
Do you think of me?
Do you love me?

Your body is a map and I have red pins in my heart
Who said distance is easy?
When I cry rivers that I can't sail into your arms, my brain turns into a multifunctional machine to develop new ways of feeling less empty when I only hear your voice through my headphones.

I think to myself, has this got no end?

I only long for your sweet smile coming across me not separated by a screen and thousands of miles
I only long for your arms as you cradle me, I as a small bird looking for warmth and peace
I only long for what I already have but cannot seem to reach, like a vision, or a dream

You are the bright stain that overlooks all the other dark parts in me
Nature would bow in glory to how beautiful your soul is
You are as far away as wishes upon a star and I am as hallow as the ones that fall
I cannot contain the dreadful silence and the loneliness that comes after your voice is gone and I am left to face the world alone

Tell me, has this got no end?

Bruises around my heart that long to be cured by your hands are turning into a masterpiece
What do you call it when you miss someone so much it hurts to remember their scent?
What do you call it when you crave something you've never had to begin with?
How can love be so painful yet so wonderful?
I wonder if in years I will be smiling in your arms, kissing your beautiful lips or crying on my bathroom floor holding one of the only physical evidence that you once indeed existed

Are you only in my head?

You will never know
The peace of acceptance
Once you are finished
Put to earth
Life was harsher than the dirt
Parents made you feel worthless
Cause you wanted to wear a short dress
Because you felt different
Cut off
Disowned
Disavowed
One friend after another disappears
And no one hears
The sobs
No one feels the salty tears
No one holds your hands
Or offers you a hug

You were ******
By the those who demand
You conform
Where there was no  warmth
The clock cuts you bitterly
Condemning you to be lonely
And I cry all the more
Knowing you won’t be the only one
Not the only daughter wanting to be a son
Not the only male that wants to be female
Not the only soft face harden
Or hard face softened till the sorrow overflows
Till everyone you know closes the door
And you disappear forever more
I wrote this in December.
