It’s not enough
Your tender kisses
Your tight tight hugs
It’s not enough
As I only exist
When I’m right in front of you
Your pleasantness imbues only the time presently shared
Yet the moment we are apart
No longer do i matter
No longer am i wanted
We don’t need each other
That we both know
But maybe it’s not enough
Or maybe I realize… I want so much more….
I think of what should have been
Instead of what it is now
And realize what should have been
Never would have happened
anyways.
My path meandered and now it
finally moves forward,
With a map that no longer has false
markings.
I guess I’ll
draw them in as they appear…
Unconditional Love
Its unwavering strength
Unnerves the insecure
Its value known only when
Broken or Gone
Realize Before Then
Realize and Repeat
why do i sigh (a little relieved)
when fear comes tumbling out of your mouth
your urgent words collide into each other
in their haste to express what i hardly have the courage to sum up
and therefore reply with silence
(and a deeply quiet marvel)
at how insecurity is such an odd leveler
an overlooked equaler
whatever impends
its coming
when assumed
takes the tyranny out of its tirade
take it in stride
and what keeps you at bay
becomes shallow enough
to wallow through…
keep your fingers crossed
your heart open
your vision willing
your dreams real
@@@
keep your smile secret
your heart willing
your vision sure
your dreams strong
@@@
keep your eyes dry
your heart strong
your vision unblurred
your dreams from fleeting
@@@
keep your head up
your heart patched up
your vision realistic
your dreams as dreams
yet a spectacle
knows no better
than to exult
what it cannot be
by itself.
humanize me
so that i too can spend
my life worrying over
the pursuit green paper.
humanize me
so that i too can fight
battles over borders
not even visible in air.
humanize me
so that i too can know
fellows are only human
when they are not my enemy.
humanize me
so that i too can see
myself as another
who is just a better copy of me.
humanize me
so that i too shall know
of happiness pursued
but never attained…
