I am a gentle rain
On a cool spring day

I will provide you sustenance
Help you grow

Gone as quick
And softly as I came
I never had a very tight grip on the difference between:


Fantasy

And...

******* Reality


Always merging the two into one disaster


The difference between night and day is no more than simply hiding the sun away.


Without you, my day will never be as bright


The stars will never live as long

The world will never spin as accurate

The bird will quickly forget its song


And my heart will never beat as perfect


You are my fantasy and can never be my reality.
Knowing this, I question my sanity


Refusing to admit

Denying how I feel

A downward spiral

This heart may never heal


Can you break something which is not whole?


Does that mean...

Do I love you?


After all..
..
You are my favorite
I want to lose myself
in desert, in jungle,
lost in your thought
repeating your name
like an old woman
recites her rosary
until I start to lisp
and my tongue becomes tired

I want to cry
in your longing
until my throat starts to ache
and stops making sound.

Oh, my beloved,
I have never seen
such a grace
that your face holds.
Don't test me more
let us merge and be one
and become careless
about this trembling empire
called the world.

Just wanted to get it off my chest.
Accept the things we cannot change
Learn from them and grow
Only then, we are whole

To be expectant of perfection
Is our greatest flaw
For we are each unique
And god loves us all

Born different
Even so we all enrich humanity
With enrichment comes knowledge
Which is never a flaw
So no, I will not strive for perfection
I will stand against being the same
I will not flee
I want a world where
I am me and you are you
Don't you see
God never makes a flaw
You asked
What is the scariest part?

I answer
The scariest part
is not the feeling of loneliness
or the darkness that fills you
despite the looming pain
of emptiness

The scariest part
is the realization  
that you have lost yourself
completely
sinking in as you lay awake
at 2 AM
because you lost the ability to sleep
and you can't even cry
because you don't even care

c
Does your kiss
Still taste
Like everything
I drank to forget?
Lay with me
Hold my hand
Just breath
Steadily
I need you close
Without your touch
I get cold
And winters coming
Don't you know
Water flows
Years at a time
Erosion lines
Within my mind
Paths and inroads
Open and close
Places I was
I used to know
Never lost
Yet never home
Ever onward
Will I go
Until I find
My wandering soul
In some ways I feel alright
But always I feel broken
It's not something that rides beneath the surface
It's something on the dark side of my heart
I'm too scared to touch my scars
So I bind my doors with them
& willingly blind myself to love
never to drink of that wine again
//On anxiety//
