One of the greatest feelings I have ever experienced
was the feeling of invisibility
I sat on the floor in front of the auditorium
waiting for the class before me to be let out
just reading a book and listening to music
A few minutes passed
The class was released from their professors grip for then night
a swarm of kids left the room
I stayed on the floor reading
not being noticed
Alone
I watched from over the peripheral of my book at all the legs passing by
No one noticed me
No one tripped over me
I was ignored
I felt like I had stopped time
I felt like I'd mastered the art
of being invisible

I want to feel stellar
I crave the feeling
of your skin
when I feel my worst
your fingers tracing
the profile of my hand
will make my grayest days
vibrant

to love is one thing

to be in love is another

Out my kitchen window
I see the barrier surrounding my backyard.
And the backyard after that.
And the one after that.
And the one after that.
And so on...
Wanting to keep people out.
Guarding our things
and guarding ourselves.
I see your barrier.
It's made of the thickest stone.
There are barely any cracks or breaks
just signs that someone tried to get inside
and holes patched
from their effort.
I wish I could make all the hurt go away.
I wish I could provide the comfort you need.
I wish I could tear down that stone divider.
I wish I could shatter your wall.
I stand at your barricade
my hands placed on the cold, thick stone.
Projecting all my love and warmth into the tips of my fingers.
I want nothing more
than to rummage through this rubble
so that I can find you
and hold you.

Often times when I need them most
my words will runaway.
Confounding me, leaving my mind to coast
while I can't find anything to say.
I have all these ideas I would like to boast
but in my mind, they won’t convey.

My heart is a rodeo
and when I draw my last breath
I will finally win
my gold buckle.

I look at your countenance
so close to my face
and it takes every ounce
of self control
to not discover
what you taste like

Give me a heartbeat
and I'll show you what I
can do.

You are stuck in their world,
you are mommy and daddy’s little girl.
Once you are in the wild
you will drown,
the second your feet hit the ground.
You will be scared
with no family to be found.
That is when you will reach out for those that were close.
But hey look at that!
Are they around?
Nope.
And when you look back to see who is around,
there I will stand
with my hand reaching out,
to pick you up off the ground.
