Breathe In

Breathe in,

Breathe out.

Let in,

I drown.

I want that love.

I survive without it.

The kiss at night

Within the silence.

Brush your hand

Against this soul

Do you feel

The cracks so old?

Remove the words

The unsaid and spoken.

Listen to the heartbeat

Please, take action.

Thump.

Flutter.

Still.

Together.

Slip Away

That’s it.

I’m done.

Us?

You’re gone.

I don’t believe the three words:

I love you.

Let’s not.

Gave you chances,

Let my feelings show,

Yeah, I was wrong

Once more.

Like the devil

You pulled me

Time

And again.

Seasons change

Just like them,

You come and go.

Give me words

And kindness…

I don’t know the truth

Of if you’re here or there.

You don’t know how to stay.

Stay? Is that a reality?

Nay.

I’ll believe it when you act.

Come in and remain,

Or else…I’ll slip away.

If You Will

You said that you're here now,

But you're proving my need

To not hope

Because I never know for how long.

Don't profess your love

And speak the sweet words

Of misery

And longing

When at the drop of a pin

You could disappear for what seems a century.

Stay awhile, if you will.

Hold my hand,

Pull me close,

Never let go like you did before.

Pull the hood down that you hide within,

Reveal the character that strikes at my heart...

The one which drives me to the balance of insanity and sane.
