Love is to see the forest through the trees
And the mountains beyond
When the land is obscured by fog

To feel the presence of another
And to feel her desire

Love is to embrace the coldest winter nights
Empowered with faith the thaw will come
And spring will warm our hearts

To listen to the rain against your window
And know that everything is alright

Rain, the source of life
Each drop blessing the leaves
The soil; The Earth
It cleanses and renews
It brings hope
And on the darkest of nights
It provides a calming respite

Sometimes it just takes time

Ice melts
Frost thaws
And a frozen heart burns once more

The storm passes
The sky clears
And the sun warms my life once more

Sometimes I just need to give it time

I was blind once
Deaf too
But realization was soon to follow

I didn't need to see
Didn't need to hear

I only needed to speak
And to be heard

I can see my future on the horizon
And I can hear it calling my name

It just needed time.

It's funny
It's so easy to tell myself
Words don't matter
What they say can't hurt you

But you can say whatever you want
Nothing really matters when all you are is a facade
Just an emotionless wall on the outside
Slowly rotting away on the inside

Their words are my own now
Echoes of the emotions trapped within the void inside me
Unable to escape
Trapped in the black hole that is me

I'm okay
          I'm okay

                              I'm okay
          I'm okay

                    I'm okay
    I'm okay

                                              I'm okay

Blank screen, as usual

It seems I never know what to say
Never know what to do either
I just sit here, wondering how I can even
Begin to let my thoughts spill out

Just words without a purpose
Thoughts without reason
Crumbling vestiges of what I feel
Lost in translation

Like trying to go to work
But being hit by a bus in the crosswalk
Never reaching their destination
Much to the feigned dismay of coworkers

Life continues
I'll just take another sick day, I guess
