Writer's block
Constantly looking for the right words
To say
To feel
To read
To heal.
M Turner Aug 2012
So?
So unhappy
So
Unhappy
Stretching out the words
Saying them out loud
Can anyone?
Conquer
Fear
Sadness
Confusion
Maybe. If you say it enough
Unhappy
Unlikely
When you have everything in the world
How cliche
Pathetic
Who will be satiated
Satiation
Semantic satiation
Saturation
Unhappy
Who can be, if it means nothing at all?

Is it true?
That you have to
Lose
Yourself
Before you
Find
Yourself?
Pulling away
and
Pushing towards
Conscious of every feeling, every move
One step forwards
Two
Steps
Back
Deliberately remaining unattached
Or are we?
Prepare for
Destruction
Prepare for
Emptiness
But is that anything new?

I'm not the one
To find your silver lining
I'm not the one
To tear the shadows from your mind
I can pretend for a while
Because I love to see you smile
But you better know -
I'm not the one.

T
My baby!
When you're awake you're
Brave,
Sarcastic,
Defensive,
And bright
When you're asleep, you
Hold onto me all night
Restless, afraid of the dark,
Of lions and of sharks
The two of us together
Makes an interesting pair
We're two orphans
Alone.
Independent.
Scared.
Looking for someone to fix us
Darling, you know I've tried
If I said that I can fix you,
God knows that
I lied

I've covered your metal with ribbons
Little trinkets and delights
I'll put on my new dress
When I see you out tonight
Maybe I won't feel it
Maybe I can grin
When you wrap your arms around me
And when your claws dig in

You always say that I'm beautiful
But I know the truth
Just don't.
Don't.
Don't!
Please, I'm begging you.
Prince Charming -
You're ripping me apart
Stop.

You always say that I'm perfect
But I know the truth
I know what perfect is
It's not me
It's not you
But perhaps we could stay
Forever
Just like this
For the closest thing to perfect was the feeling of that
Kiss
