I can't tell you whether it's the music
That plays and I think of you
Or it's this weather
That always brings me down

Back down to the lowest
Places in my heart that make
My mind think of everything I've lost
Everything I want in my world
That I don't have

But whatever it is I am struggling
Against the tears that well in my eyes
Not to pick up the phone and
Hear your voice, the voice
That was there for me through so much.

But I can't tell you whether it's
The music or this weather
That is causing me to fall down
Break down and cry again
All I know is that I'm lost

Happy and so very sad
At the same time
I am lost and feel like
I am losing my resolve.

Passion makes me tingle
my blood rushing with memories
Recent memories still filled with flame
So many firsts in a world where firsts
are so rare

I run my fingers over a bruise
And a scrape
So innocuous to anyone else
But my blood tingles with the memories
That only you and I share

Brush in hand
Canvas blank
But this time, right now,
I just can't bring myself
to scar the surface.

I am sitting in an empty space that is not mine I hate this space I am cramped and it's almost too
stuffy to breathe and as I sit in this detested seat out of range of understanding others' speaking I
am raging inside The rage is building and has nowhere to go I am sick sick SICK of speaking an
d not being heard like every **** thing I say doesn't mean **** to anybody I say the same fucki
ng thing five times in a row and even then I'm not really heard with understanding There's hardl
y any recognition that I have even bothered to open my mouth God forbid my opinion have any
standing anywhere on anything until somebody realizes too late that I already said this was goin
g to happen And I write these words and I know that if they are read they will still be misunderst
ood Even if they are comprehended by someone willing to read them And this just makes the rag
e boil harder in the pit of my stomach I feel sick I don't know why I even try It's so pitiful It's the f
act that I understand that I am never heard or listened to that keeps me from speaking now. I can
't say these words. But I guess that's the reason I can let them flow onto paper and take frustration
out on anybody who chooses to read what I have to say. My pain in my silence is the only thing
reminding me that in this case, my pain is my silence, better in than out, because nobody gives a
**** and it doesn't matter anyways.

Ever been posed a question
that cannot be answered?
Either way you try to respond
your stomach twists and turns
knots of nausea, so much so that
you can't even touch an answer.
But I guess in a way,
that in itself is the answer.

You are
A mystery
Showing me what love is
Stirring my soul to feel with yours
My heart
Michelle S Oct 2012
As sweet swimming space
Pass my loving gaze
Catch your heart and race
Alas your hazed maze

With this heart in hand
Keep steady and fair
When you cross this land
Please, oh, please, take care

Stumbling blind we are
Fatal gripping pace
Never mind the hour
Forget this, don't race

Go slowly forward
walk - love - evermore
