I'm just a number on your list
Just some addition that you can brag about
No second glances or second chances
Just a number....
No more a person with a name
When reduced to double digits
No emotions nor humanity
When labled with a number
I lose my face
Forgotten; with the next addition

We all fall down sometimes
And need to be,
Picked back up

All it takes, is a reaching hand,
Arms outstretched
To break the fall.

But no one's there
To catch my fall
So, I'll just keep

Falling Down

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
( And I built my wall supported on you)
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
( You let my wall tumble)
All the kings men and all the kings horses
(At least Humpty Dumpty has people running to put him together again)
Couldn't put Humpty Dumpty back together again
( Like Humpty, I don't think I can be fixed)

Deep, unending pools of tenderness
Clouded, by the confusion of untended emotion
And swirling thought,
Windows into his soul,
Betraying what lies beneath;
the still surface of our lives
At times, orbs of embracing warmth
Flowing forth, with clarity
Sometimes, as cold as ice
Trapped; within a vice of chilling fears
Frozen there, I see the tears, begging for release.
I can see you on the other side
of these frozen walls of your own design,
Staring through those clear, unending pools
I lose myself, trying to find
The meaning behind, the feelings that I know are there
Only hidden; behind those clear and caring eyes
And now I find, that I just can't survive,
Unless I see myself reflected there
In the caring, unending pools of your eyes.

People lie and People cheat
They'll leave without a warning,
It's a lesson we all must learn.

I've been their; twice
Just this year.

And why, I keep returning
To this life, the only one I know.

Rooted; Just standing there
The impossible, immovable
Tree.
With your roots so deep,
Branches so high
Forever reaching and reaching
For the sky.
Trembling fingers lost of leaves,
Tracing the phantoms of dreams.

A reaching hand
That goes un-noticed
A conversation, left lingering in the air;
Between us...

All that is there,
A faint light within the dark
Wavering, just before being swallowed;
Can't you see me...

I am waiting
Just beyond, the walls
Erected to protect
Against me?
