Emotions
No words more honest
Than those that fall
Unbidden from my lips
To a harsh gown of thorns
That encompass the earth
Judged and torn apart
By a one of a nobler birth
Could I compete?
Would I dare to be so harsh?
My sheets thinner
Than the water you drink
Did you catch me
Just to throw me back
Over the brink
Like an arrow
On fire at night
I would blaze out
Into endless night
You can not call me back
But yet I may return
Born and burn and beautiful
Like every other life
Not any brighter
Than you existence
Not any higher
For an resistance
To fight and lose
Or die and win
To make the battles
For you to win
You kisses un-gentled
You scent so torn
Between heaven and earth
All these scars were born
To travel up and down your limbs
Seeking for a harder way
To get within
To thrive under you skin
As thin as paper
To kiss you lips now
And taste it later
Like sweat on your brow
And the blood in your veins
I traveled around
Yet am hard to be found
As desirable as leaves
In a much to harsh breeze
Grown from the ground
Reaching for a sky
That sings and flies
And will ever fake to die
Dark clouds and burnt skies
More and less than butterflies
To not find your rainbow
Or be your sunshine
But to be yours
And you to be mine
A looking glass
You can never clean
Like double lenses
I am trapped between
Caught to a mortal form
Bound by your emotions
Would you release me
Don't just let me go
Push me away
No one will ever know
They are to absorbed
In their own laces
They never looked beyond
To see other beautiful faces
To trace the lines of your soul
To care if you were part of whole
To extend a hand
And grasp another
I found a hold
Hold me close
Tight as a knot
I was neither given nor bought
Just an exchange
Don't let us trade hearts
For you would lose yours
But I will give you mine
So you can bind it inside
Right next to your heart
It will learn to thrive
It will never be lost
And never quite whole
But at least it will live
Next to your soul
Warmer than the cold
And as faded as dawn
Keep me inside
Or let me move on
To say goodbye
To lovers and friends
So ubruptly it ends
And I never knew when
So say goodbye
I never knew
It would be our last kiss
Was it something you needed
Or just something you missed
You can't press me
Between dictionary pages
For when the storms come
Its my temper that rages
Bound by paper
In handcuffs of ink
And when I begin to drown
Its you who lets me skin
Closer than kin
Thicker than water
You stole my father's daughter
She let you come in
But locked the door behind
So whatever happened
The lock would always remind
You of whispers
Hidden oak
To weave them inside
A memory cloak
What is found is found
And what is broke is a joke
