You watch a lot of people on TV
Then judge them on their acting
Some really deserve praising
While some I question how they even became actors
They're so stiff
Their expressions so still
Their voices so monotone
I really question their job
I sometimes think I could do better
But who would agree to that
When I feel embarassed trying to be someone else
Rockie May 2015
You smile sadly at the screen.
Watching.
Waiting.

You stare sadly at your thumbs.
Watching.
Waiting.

You laugh sadly at the joke.
Watching.
Waiting.

You watch your reflection sadly.
Watching.
Waiting.
They stand on lines
Made in earth
Their little lines
that follow them
Showing everyone
where they've been
An age of watching lines
The all seeing eye
that hangs within the sky
Watching day and night
As a billion lives go by
Violante Holmes May 2015
People watching is interesting,
At least most of the time.
As long as you don't find yourself
Watching a crime.

There are short people.
Tall people.
Large people.
Small people.
But that's only on the outside.

For if you look deeper in,
If you glance a little longer than accepted,
You'll see something
You may not have expected.

Are they happy?
Sad?
Are they in a good mood?
Are they horribly mad?

Do they love the person next to them,
With a burning of desire?
Or would they rather instead
Light that person on a pyre?

You can people watch,
All day and all night.
But I warn you that what you see
Might cause you a fright.
Violante Holmes May 2015
Standing.
Watching the people pass by.
Their lives all going different places.
Though all of them will find time to die.

it seems, these days
in many ways
i spend so much of my time
waiting

i don't know how
but in the now
i'm never really content
longing

you'd think i'd know
the ebb and flow
but i'm still not quite caught up
running

i look, i stare
just everywhere
to see what the people do
watching

maybe i should
if only i could
start living my own life soon

I'll keep you in my sight
with this lonely light I hold aloft.
I'll ward away the dark and fright;
I'll safeguard when your soul is lost.

I'll keep you from harm within my arms
that circle round your shaking form.
No need for tears or wide eyed alarm;
My arms will shield you from the storm.

I don't mind sharing this lonely cross,
whose bearer's face looked so forlorn,
Let me safeguard those tearful eyes so lost.
My arms will shield you from the storm.
Love is hard when someone can't allow themselves to be deserving of love.
Steele Apr 2015
Enshrouded in mist,
far flung shores requite nothing.
Lonely eyes watch hushed.

My favorite show is
Watching America's Funniest Home Videos with you.
Watching with you
Watching you
Your eyes glowing with delight.
Watching with delight
Watching your delight
A smile explodes across your face.
My heart explodes across my rib cage.
*laughter.
