I keep giving you chances
Over and over you swear you're done
When I catch you lying I try to leave
Yet always return because you're the one
I'm finally beginning to realize
That the day you change will never come
Sometimes we wait too long for things we know aren't coming

whilst the plants during winter wait
they wait for warmth and springtime rain
whilst they do so,
the ground welcomes the quiet snow:
if they, so I.
the snow embraces the ground and trees
singing soft and enamoring melodies
the trees do not fret or cry spitefully,
but instead appreciate the cold beauty:
if they, so I.
there is pain in the wait, but joy as well
a chest for two reasons could easily swell
with anger or laughter and it is a choice,
we the tuners the tone of our voice:
if they, so I.
what does that mean?
why love the snow that hides summer's green?
why must we wait to enjoy the sun?
so I say, the flowers still bloom when their time come:
if they, so I.

Tea
While the bread rises,
I grab my loose leaf green tea
Brew to my delight
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HERBAL TEA!
Green tea, especially!

He wrote serotonin
On his brainwaves

Made oceans to swim
Inside fascination
And wandering eyes
Instead of demons
At play

He willfully
Passed his away
Shared with another
Calming every wave

And on those days
His mind took haze
And the tools were overlooked
And instead Of giving
he took
Us
They say when you meet the one you’ll know
That from the moment your eyes meet
Everything falls into place
A weight lifted off your shoulders
Singing, this is it

From the moment our eyes crossed
I felt everything all at once
I knew you were all I ever wanted
I still feel that
I still know that

You’re not there right now
You don’t see what I can
How good us can be
So for now I’ll wait until your heart is ready
Because my heart tells me it’ll always be us

I held myself together
Through the fire
Through the cold
I held my heart together
Through the lies that had been told

I let myself unravel
Feel the darkness
Feel the rain
I let my soul unravel
Giving patience to the pain

I stitched myself a new life
Always dreaming
Something more
I sewed my hope together
Stronger than I was before

And he will think of me,
actually
maybe he won't

I want him to
eventually
possibly
I don't

I really shouldn't
probably
needless to say

Get out of my mind
I want you to stay
fearlessly

I'm so tired
terribly
uselessly

I should get some rest
finally
really

Tomorrow will hold more
hopefully
surely
Constantly trying can be very tiring sometimes. I hope you all have a good night. Tomorrow is going to be easier. Probably.

Why the urgency I just do not know So much angst Thinking about waiting so long Why can’t you tell me now? Why can’t you be here now? What’s the difference between then and now?
Now  Now Now Now Now Now Now Now Now Please Now You tell me you love me That you have things to sort I tell you I understand And that I support But I am lying Although I am trying I don’t want to loose you So I won’t push you

(gasp)

Because I love you - so if I have to - I'll sit here a little anxious

Wait...

Is this patience?
