Jan 2011
the bright light it's robbing me from my sanity.
prepared for the end of that rope.
sun, linger close to earth once more.
it yearns for the tickle of your rays,
lingering upon its surface.
it's so cold.
never leave me as the sun does...
continuation remains unclear.
terror coats my every thought.
heart beating as fast as my love grows for you.
instinct,
pushing against it, as if it were trying to slow it.
instinct, eternally victorious.
my ignorance puts up a steel wall against it,
hurting myself.
trust is absent.
please don't surround us.
with those bars of trust,
that will allow you to so easily break me.
fear of you leaving grips my heart
with it's icy claws, and it's perpetual stare,
warning me:
don't fall for him
it's telling me.
my little bit of reassurance
grasps all it can with it's minuscule grip.
i'm barely breathing.
just let me go home…
put my whole future for grabs
just to stare into those eyes once again
before someone takes them from me.
those eyes,
the only gateway past the facade.
i see you.
i just hope
you'll stay lonely long enough
for me to come home.
i shouldn't need to tell you
that it'll be worth it.
if i do,
i can forget about you in an instant
i tell myself
