I am alone, beginning to realize
truth and death
are preferred, than living in
between the spaces
Shauna Bendel Feb 2018
you and I,
burn in moonlight
darkling skies of a devil's sleep
a lust for love, attend the desire
for the flame is fiercer
beneath...

let me dissolve in your ocean
blue
somewhere, someone
belongs
where waves crash
the same
and the tide doesn't mind
gentle, now
this movement touches
bare skin
at the shoreline,
she dances too often
tracing footprints in sand
before he washes hers
away
leaving but a seashell
behind
a lonely goodbye,
and a smile to drown
beneath
"lady in blue"

to lose slowly
drift further into
shadows and fade
behind some goodbye
because some return
and never leave
the forgotten face,
an eerie atmosphere
of kept chemistry
thought to defy
time’s condition
a passing of fate
followed by chance
caught between
maybe and what ifs
the last waltz
they must dance
alone
for love has died
years before,
but
words taste alive
feeding the falsity
to which forever
burns with
Shauna Bendel Jan 2018
it felt good,
but lonesome
to be composed
of what you wanted
once
a lonely
feeling, that
claws at your insides
undecided
whether to belong
or fear
being misplaced
Shauna Bendel Oct 2017
the sun glistens
feel the gentle weight
of our world beneath
perfect stills,
replace
stranger times
and leaves fall softer
as people move free
silence brings
together,
what words
can't speak
my dearest day
lasts with you alone
in the safety found
between,
there is only
forever
in time shared
with you...
