I'm not going to rant to you as you may not understand You have always said promised to me, over and over again that you will be there to talk to if i ever dare feel the need In a moment of weakness i try to use the words that i know you will not understand english is a harsh language With hard, stiff, stone letters Sharp words Blunt The tough, callused hand better at beating you down Than helping you up Other languages A way to comfort you in a relation a way to turn these stiff ways of the tounge to silk and fresh water to something easily, gentally, softly felt As smooth as a cold, gliding glacier's stream English is the langague for facts, explanations plain, blunt topics It's hard to have words for feelings Emotions ways of the heart But other lanauges don't have words for such things They have words, phrases, exchanges, dialects, customs for moments for memories for dreams, almost out of reach So when I try to explain to you What i am going through behind the "I'm fine." "You know what I mean?" "Uh, not really" Well **** Now you know the thoughts inside my head Twisted by your interpritaion your intake of me

You don't understand, do you?
Pull the sheets up; Let's hide under them. No one can find us here. Sure, no one is looking, either. But I want to be with you, no distractions. Take my hand in yours, Can you hear my heart racing? Can you tell my soul is aching? I want to let it go. I wanted to let you know, Because I'd never let it show. Would you stay with me, after the fact? Could I share with you the truths of my past? I don't want what we have to be ruined by that. I don't want what we have to be ruined by anything. Is it better I keep my secrets hidden, That I keep inside where I hurt? Or do you wish to lick my wounds. Can I be myself with you, Or only a percentage..

A Percentage.
The fire building inside    Should cause an alarm But no one sees     Nor feels the heat It rises and grows     As no one listens Then finally you'll hear     There she blows

Fire
You told me in a hushed voice That you are actually a very insecure person And I agreed a little too quickly A little too much in the know. It doesn't help That you whispered it to me That you seemed terrified of what I would say You paint me a picture And find yourself amazed that I know the artist. But I caught you red handed With the brush Still between your shaking fingers.

The night and I are best friends. Our darkness coincides and I find myself confiding in the moon more than I ever did with anyone else.

Dissolving Secrets In Night Skies
I speak to the trees about my qualms; knowing they will keep them rooted and hidden from the world above. I cry with the rain about my dysphoria; so that it's curved drops might cleanse me and wash away any anguish. I whisper to the burning fire about my desires; so that they may ignite and transform into something unquenchable. I confide in the wind about my loneliness; so that it might blow someone onto  my path so that I would be given a reply to all the things the trees, rain, fire, and wind have heard but could never give me an answer.
