With the wisdom of the ancients
You speak in clues
Your depth, beyond comprehension
With a cracked smile
The distance peeks through the stars in your eyes
Souls united cannot be fooled
With weight enough to suffocate, you sigh
As my heart tries in vain
To lift you to the sun
I will hold you tightly
Space, nor distance, nor time
Can make us falter
Can make us doubt
You sigh, and my heart is heavy
I love you
And you smile....

Tonight the gray in your eyes
Is the color of the skies
In my dreams

The clouds and the rain
Match the pain
It isn't as it seems

The miles can't hide
The love we feel inside
My heart is in your hands
It's been too long
Since those gray eyes sang a song
Your wish is my command
I'll be home soon

Your picture on my phone
Isn't close enough to home
For my needs

The distance is too great
Need to find a plane to take
Desperately

The miles can't hide
The love we feel inside
My heart is in your hands
It's been too long
Since those gray eyes sang a song
Your wish is my command
I'll be home soon

The miles can't hide
The love we feel inside
I'll be home soon

I'll be home soon

Song for Him
PrttyBrd Mar 2015
I listen to you breathing in the darkness
A sound that turns my lips into a smile
A soft rumble like the purr of the sweetest kitten
There is no denying that I am wholly smitten
So I listen to you breathing in the darkness
For just a little while

For just a little while longer
I am lost in the slow, steady sound
The sound that makes my stress falter
And I pray that life doesn't alter
For just a little while longer
I bask in the love that I've found

The peace that your slumber affords me
Is more than I have ever known
The hope that used to elude me
The joy that once seemed to exclude me
The peace that your slumber affords me
Makes it so I don't fear being alone

Tonight as I listen to your sleeping
I remember how life forges through
Embracing the unknown connections
The comfort in emotion's reflections
Tonight as I listen to your sleeping
I am lulled to sleep dreaming of you

In my nightmares
I repel
Even the best of intentions

The pain seeps out in flashes of insanity
I do not doubt you love me
Though I will always wonder why
In my shattered self-image
In my innate ability to be unseen
Was born an adolescent desire
A desperate need
A yen to be quenched of doubt
To be noticed
To be seen
Both within and without
In that longing to be alive
To be sure that I am a tangible being
In that way I push limits
I test boundaries like a child
Taxing the last nerve of an exhausted parent
Pushing hard until something breaks
Proving I matter enough
Or proving I can bend reality
Until I matter not
To anyone
For surely there is a reason I remain
Unseen
Unheard
Invisible
Intangible
Irrelevant
And Unnoticed
So I push when I'm hurt
Because you promised you won't leave
And I believe you
You said I meant everything I always wanted to mean to someone
And I believe you
You said you'd do anything and everything it takes to make me smile
And I believe you
The pain seeps out in flashes of insanity
I test boundaries like a child
Not because I doubt you
Because I need to always believe

My weakness is not a reflection of your strength. I do not doubt you. I only doubt myself.

I heard him say
"I love you"
Like he used to say to me
Like he just said
To the universe, by my side
Screaming from the rooftops
I heard the words
Impassioned
Meant for some other heart than mine
Without a hint of warning
A back turned
A faded smile
A hole in my chest
Where his heart once beat
Me, without a word
I watch the words fly on the breeze
I close my eyes
And hear them just for me
One last time
As the tinkling laughter
The sound of being loved
Glides off in the distance
Now, all I can hear
Is the wind howling through
The cavern where our hearts once lived
