absent from my life,
but dancing forever in my mind.

preserved perfectly:
idealized and beautified,
immortal, god-like.

yet holding on too tight.

memories, exaggerated:
they haunt me,
notoriously unreliable.

take me back in time…

Dancing at Midnight

Sitting with you is like dancing at midnight;
Quiet, serene, calming, and my favorite thing to do
Part twenty-seven
I imagine that the wind flowing through my hair
is your hand weaving through the strands,
as I stand
in the midnight air...

I imagine that,
alone in the place where I used to hold you close
as my tears begin to enclose me
in the midnight air...

Water flows through the rivers, so does our feelings.
We let the wind bring us through the sky, to make us realize that what we feel is real.
-not only a glimpse of uncertainty

Gaudy, it says.

feelings role-playing
sunny day, depressing night
food, water and sleep.
we should look after things
better. i wrote a thing a while

back. it filled my head with
pictures.

Someone
You once asked me if there was anything I wouldn't tell you.

I told you that I didn't think so.

And, at the time I really did believe that.

But, now I realize that that was just me,

Not telling you the things I wouldn't tell you.

How ironic.

Kindness
Tolerates pain
In the shallows of time
I call to thee
When the weight of this burden I carry
Brings me ever closer to the edge
I seek darkness while the Sun serves
only to more clearly expose
my longing for solace
I know not how to reach you
But I sense you with every breath
Perhaps the next life will be ours
Speak to me once more while I slumber
That my heart may be renewed
That my longing be not in vain
