I do not wish to seem forward
No disrespect
I say this not of prying eyes
But of open mind
Forgive me my butterflies my stomach is full
For never have I said such to anyone
Your words have sparked my mind
Statements of alone despair
Feelings of seclusion no one knows
Feelings of difference
No one to talk to
No one to truly listen
Trepidation to unveil your creative mind and soul
To bear all for all to see
These feelings you speak of
They echo my own words never before uttered
It does not have to be this way
I see in you an artist
I understand the torment of sleepless nights
Unrelenting restlessness with no answer
I see you speak with nothing but emotion even if subtle
You understand how convoluted emotion is
Like the layers of a song
It is a sum of all parts
I see your wish to convey
Lost in translation in a world that doesn't understand
I too share these tormented nights
Fueled by whiskey and never ending smoke trails of so many cigarettes
I wish to see your beautiful spark unleashed on this world
I too wish my own to be seen
Two artists afraid of the world
Lost and looking
For ourselves
For someone else to share it all with
Support
A helping hand
To learn, live and love in an entirely new fashion
To leave preconceived notions behind
To forge a new path.
I try to find the courage
To speak these things to you
Yet I feel held back
By the very own fear and self doubt we share
