When talks become superficial
And feelings turn artificial
When you think twice before you call
Then do, yet say nothing at all
When you feel empty all the time
And all your poems start to rime
When you miss someone who's not there
Or is around, yet does not care
When you try hard to make it last
Yet see yourself part of the past
When you fail the tricks in your sleeve
Then it is surely time to leave...
I know not how to lift your spirits
Nor do I know how to make you smile
Even so, I pray night and day, day and night
That you can make it through the trials
When it comes down to you and me
There is a difference much too large
You and I stand on the edges of two cliffs
Between us lies the vastness of space and its stars
Yet you, with your sky of blue, can see me
And I, with the tears I cry, can see you
I wish I could send you the brightest pair of wings
Package them in a box and send them across to you
To you, with your sky of blue, as a small gift from me
I wish I could help you soar with those wings
Maybe then you could smile again
If only I could help you, with your sky of blue
Perhaps you will be able to smile then
But there's a distance here on these cliffs
And it lies between you and I
It's much too large, much too big
It's just as vast as the sky
Yet you, with your sky of blue, can see me
And I, with the tears I cry, can see you
I wish things weren't so awkward or so odd
So that I could send my care without second thought
And maybe then, just perhaps, it wouldn't be so hard to talk
I think there is a chance, perhaps, maybe
I just really am taking this in too deep
I'm lifting up my hopes, higher than the sky
I'm going to lift my dreams because I can fly
This distance cannot be crossed
There's just no possible way
Even if I could have wings
There's no chance I would be safe
For you, with your sky of blue, can see the truth
And I, with the tears I cry, can feel the truth
I love you because you want me to be me
and no one else.
You give me confidence to be who I am.
You appreciate me.
I love you because you support what I choose,
despite whether it's what you want or not.
I love you because you are willing to try,
and you don't give in to "what if"s that float around.
I love you because even when you aren't around,
you make me smile more than anyone I know.
I love you because you call me gorgeous,
and when you say it,
I believe you.
Even if I didn't feel gorgeous before.
I love you because you treat me like I'm someone,
not an object,
Like I have value,
and I don't have to prove myself to you.
I love you,
because whether you realize it or not,
you make me feel like you love me too,
And you don't even have to say it.
Close enough
Yet far away
Acting tough
Yet feeling grey
Winter feeling
Cold as ice
Do the dealing
Throw the dice
No more bluffing
No more games
Swiftly snuffing
All the flames
Close enough
Yet far away
The hunt is rough
I'll spare the prey
No more I's
And no more you's
I fear the prize
I need to lose
I'm lying there
Inside a pit
It's quite a scare
But i need not to quit
To make someone else happy
Do I have to feel sorrow?
And will I have to suffer
To be happy tomorrow?
Are two hearts broken
While another one mends?
If you lose the beginning
Do you start at the end?
If I laugh 'til it hurts
Will I still feel sad?
By being true to myself
Will I make others feel bad?
If the sky fell in
Would the earth still stand?
And if the clouds toppled onto me
Would you grab my hand?
If I screamed in pain
Would you run to my side?
Skid to a halt
Turn like the tide?
But my heart's never been broken
Although you do not care
I'm not covered in clouds
As the sky is still there
I'll stop asking me questions
You won't break my heart
The signs were always there, you just failed to notice. And life is difficult, so why should one have to face it alone? This feeling in my heart beckons me to admit the truth, yet my soul is lost in confusion while you seem so oblivious to the signs. Certainly you must have noticed something by now? Maybe that is the reason you seem silent towards me. But it hurts me inside. And the longer I hold it in, the more you seem to not see it… or do you ignore it? Truly you are not that cruel. Though I have to admit, you certainly don’t reply to me in the way I want you to. Maybe my wants are selfish. Maybe they are futile. But are they meaningless to you? I wish the answer to that was more clear than it seems for I Am lost.
Can’t you see the ‘wanting’ that I feel? I long for more than just the fragile feeling we hold. We started off so much better than we are now, and it has been such a short time since then. Am I being too rash?
I know of your pain. I have heard how painful your life has been (from you, of course) . My life has been a woe of crying and wanting too. Yet you seem to refuse yourself from freeing away from it. Or am I the one that is blind?
That void of uncertainty peels at my heart. And yet I do nothing, but wait. Waiting for that moment. Wanting for it to come sooner, yet when it gets here I will be alone… Not knowing what to do or say. I will be isolated. That feeling makes my heart burn, yet with a cold so bitter..
I know what I must do now. And I know that watching from a distance and just hoping it would happen, that would not help. So I have to do it. The moment will come far too late. I do not want this, I need it instead. The burning desire of a lonely soul is to much of a burden for one to hold alone.
My words can be meaningless or meaningful. So which is it to you? I just need to know. Your silence is like poison to me. It kills me. And I am dying. So please… just hear me out. If it isn’t to be, then let me know. But you cannot decide until you hear what I have to say. So please listen, listen to my tears and ‘hear’ me…
My dearest one… Life has me trapped. I want you to see that. So please, take me by your touch and tell me what do you want from me. Hon, I love you… Do you love me too?
