When I Left.

I had to go
I couldn't stay
My feet began to move
Before my mind caught up
I knew it then
I would hurt you
Deeply
It's not a natural thing
For me
When I went
I felt alone
Deeply
My only companion being
The crunch of ice under my toes
It's the only thing I felt
Cold
Like the frozen rain
The falling chrystals
The melted snow
The shoes that didn't fit
I ended up on a street
I didn't recognize
It became clear then
What I was running from
I had to go
I couldn't stay
When my feet began to move
It was from myself
And not from you.

Life.

Done
seen
FELT
Full body in
Only to this thing we CALL
life?

Compromise.

It will always be a compromise
Never a demand
It will stay
Always in
Thus I promise
Sweet the dreams
We have given
Shattered our thoughts
Because when two becomes one
It's slightly tragic
Because a lives destiny
Can exist with both a dream
And a compromise.

I'll be Seeing You.

When I'm alone
That's when I see him
He doesn't know I exist
Maybe he does
Like a bird in the night
With my thoughts of you
I wonder if it reaches him
Delivered nicely
Wrapped with a bow
Did he receive it?
Will he know it's from me?
Often I see him
He doesn't know of my deepest
I know what it's like to kiss him
He's imagined what my lips feel like
That's not enough
For me
In the dark
I see your face
When I'm alone
That's when I see you.

To Dream

Pain to your chest
Feeling that it could be
Everything you always hated
It can't be
Everything you always saw
No
Beautiful life we live
To know
We always knew
A feeling
A pain if you don't do it
It will disapear
A beautiful passion
That will never go away

You are Love

When you ask me about it, I say I don't believe it
I have seen
I have tasted
I have witnessed it
Can it be?
its a thing called love
when you are on the out
how can you get back in
when you have seen the thick
Love
I say...
has to be here
deep within
it starts from a seed
grows like a weed
how can one be sure?
with some much excessive greed
this world we love in
it just grows
when you ask me about it I say
this I have seen.
its been sown.
Grows
In a baby
In a child
In you, I see
You are love
We are
this I know this I believe.
Where are you love?
Have you gone away from me?
I still see you
I still believe
it will always lead you back to me.
Because you are love
I just know it
It can only be
however flighty
however tested
however tired
When you ask me about it I say
you are love.
Its the only thing I believe.
anymore.
