Auction it off To the lowest bidder Your heart Still warm from my cautious embrace Mine Freshly ripped from my chest I’ll stand at a distance Wishing I had more Than my everything
All I want to do is kiss him But he doesn’t sleep well So I guess I’ll wait I’ll lie here envying the air visiting his lungs Making sounds of polite shutters on a slightly breezy day
When I listen to this man I envision a house A house loved, lived, strong The gentle breeze entering through spacey windows Encouraging reflections embraced The shades failure to with hold the sun in its weakened hours
My past has left wounds not yet scars Rooms filled with desire Just to be wanted No one else can feel the suffocating pressure Their world is unknown to me The mysterious and haunting sense of belonging Alone. In a crowded room.
Im hurting in deep dark crevices Their voices at varied volumes. I scream stop. Please stop Sometimes until I fall asleep. They sparingly listen when I angrily tell them to shut up They throb as reminders force their way into my head I’m ok. I’m ok when they stop. I’m ok when I’m with you. I’m scared of the moments I’m left alone Your voice speaks louder You remind them I am loved But beneath you they continue to whisper Reminding me of what limitations that have been set on me. Who and when I cannot love Setting timers and dates Taunting Expirations You unknowingly have joined them Reinforcing how long I can love you I’m silently screaming Trying to make my voice louder Remind you that I love you Stop. Please stop. I’m ok when I’m with you
