Blind
I read your hidden messages
of self pity and loathing
I was always here to talk to
but that never really mattered
I can tell that I put you off now
that you don't know anymore
I can feel you slipping away
to your own private secret room
Inside becomes hungry and empty
lacking you and your love
It seems I am still a stranger
and maybe I always will be
We speak to each other
in riddles and poems
You need to give me a chance
to show you who I am
Love doesn't lead to suffering
that is something for fear
Love is here to hold you
to keep you happy and safe
You'll never believe me
when I say, "It will be alright."
I wait like a dire wolf
as your hope and love dry up
You are a cat
like a lynx, or a cougar
You know you have only you
and no one will get too close
I see your defenses
to invisible memories
I see your projections
as they fall onto me
I am afraid of your reaction
to my expression
I lack confidence
in my own direction
To turn left, or to turn right
just to keep it simple
I wonder where you went
and where you are
Missing you before there was time
to get to know you better
The distance between us
manufactured by experts
The odds stacked against us
but we try anyway
A dog and a cat
might make a good match
We had power and light
to melt into one
We then tried to survive
ripped apart and bleeding
Like two corpses
that continue to feel
Longing and aching
for past perceptions
I know what you say
is not always what's inside
You want to protect me
from what might hurt
Sadness rules life
confusing our intentions
Lost sight of Light
in our misconceptions
My heart is your heart
is the way it is
Pulling in twelve directions
leaving me torn
Without you, is no me
for me to see
Without your trust
there is nowhere for us
I let you down
by having nothing to offer
You built me up
with your fading hope
Pulling you in
is what I am doing
Keeping you here
is what I need
Control that was never there
is fought for
Understanding and communication
have gone on vacation
This world is at war
and we are in the middle of it all
Together we stand
together we must be
Give up on resisting
on what you know is true
We need us for us
to do what we must do
Fear eats away
at our hope
Being strong
is our destiny
Negative thinking
got us here
Positivity
is the only way out
Together alone
we used to be
Alone together
should not be an option
I made you happy
once upon a time
I am still here
hoping you will see me again
There is no answers
to these wonderings
Magic and miracles
will make it happen
Responsibilities listed
got lost in the laundry
Cleaning and polishing
left nothing behind
Looks really nice
from the outside
Inside it is dark
from the pain
Understandings can come back
if we really want that
Belief in us
is a dance made for two
I am not lecturing
about this or that
I am not a monster
that doesn't love you
I think the roses and the moon
are for us to share
I think about you all the time
wondering how you feel inside
Protecting each other
is what we were to do
Neglecting each other
was not the plan
I run to you
inside my own mind
There you are happy and safe
and you know it
Time slips by
with us on it's wake
We have to hold on
just a little bit more
I wish there were words
to describe what I must
I might not know how
to do it right
I never know
and I never did
I only have evidence
that I could do better
I never meant to make you sorry
by acting jealous
Forgive me and yourself
so we can move forward
These are not orders
for you to follow
These are suggestions
for us
Questions unanswered
by the person inside us
Exposing ourselves without shame
is the right we share
You have the right to know
even when you don't ask
You will be loved by me
even when you don't believe it
I know your words are mine
sometimes
But, these are from me
to you with love in my heart
I see the love in your eyes
as they look into my soul
I feel your love
as it reaches me gently
Can't wait to see you
because I can't see you now
Take down your shield
and let me in
I am yours
like before
Be mine
again
