I hold my breath as waterfall tears flow down from my eyes
The overbearing emotions take control of me, imprisoning me.
As a prisoner at your whim I tried to submerge into thoughts of joy.
I put my all into you, my trust embedded in every kiss.
Only to result to the consumption of all your lies, excuses, and alibis.

You built me up, only to shatter me into a million pieces.
Now I surround my heart around soldiers prepared to fight.
Take this as my last goodbye, a simple adieu.
Thank you my soon forgotten lover,
for teaching me that I deserve someone better than you.

Wind brushes upon my skin,
I kiss the day goodbye,
Hello sky, hello to starry night.

The stars come out to light the sky,
Making it luminescent as the day,
I become so mesmerized.

The sun kisses the tips of my fingers,
I live within the depths of the day,
Hoping that the light lasts, lingers

To lay again to dream sweet dreams,
And to wake up in a world,
I call reality.

My heart skips a beat to the melody that I call love,
Every hug, every kiss, every touch melts into my skin
And after all these years I stand by your side,
Forever always, only as a friend
I wish you would see into the depths of my soul
So you could perhaps understand what I truly want.
But see you are blinded by the world and all its lust,
And I know for a fact, I will never compare
But if you would just see the diamond in the rough,
Then maybe, just maybe, you would see
How much I hopelessly love thee.

Dear Stranger,
Hello to you as you walk by,
a head nod, a smile, or wink of the eye.
Black, white, brown I see,
but through the depths of your essence,
it is the soul that I seek.
Laughter and struggles,
we unknowingly shared,
at a moment's glance we tend to compare
the "you" and the "I",
the day and the night,
or the wrong and the right,
Only to be strangers again,
at a blink of an eye.
