Unseen

Completely in touch
Every emotion is felt
Maybe too much
Everything makes sense

There’s no rhyme or reason for it
It just happened over time
But one thing is unchanging
It is always hidden

And there’s no winning in it
No silver lining at the end
There is only the most beautiful thing in the world
The one thing no one will ever get to see

Finding my way North

It was simple
The walls were down
The roads were clear
Nothing was in our way

Today was new
Today was different
Then tomorrow came
And everything was carried away

I miss the stars
I miss my north
I can’t live in tomorrow anymore
I’m going back

Back to the beginning
Before I fell apart
Back when I was yours
And you were mine

Like you mean it

They turn to me
To comfort them
To reassure them
To give them peace

They don’t realize what lies beneath
So close to the surface
If they stopped for a moment
And just looked at me
Maybe they could see

But they’ll never see
Because they don’t want to
They don’t want to see me broken
They don’t want to see me undone

So I keep smiling
I say it’s ok
And then I wait
Until they look away

Passing words

The room is still
There's dust everywhere
There was life here once
There may be again

The wind blows in
Lifting sheets from their place
The whirlwind surrounds me
I can almost feel them with my fingertips

I fill myself with words
I let the words pass through me
Words I can never say
Words I wish to hear
Words that will never linger here

Maybe it's ok
Maybe it's not supposed to make sense
As the words leave me
I disappear once again

Surrounding

Every detail captivates me
Feeling the sidewalk through my shoes
Glances of white light as the sun hits my eyes
The smell of grass after the rain
The wind passing through my fingers
It gives me peace
It keeps me sane
In this fleeting moment
I feel joy
And I get through another day

Fog

I lift my hands
And they disappear in front of me
I can barely see my feet
But I can’t stand still
I have to try
I walk for a minute
An hour
A day
An eternity
I keep walking
But I know
I can’t see past this
And I never will
You won’t see me
You won’t hear me
You will never feel me again
To you, I am lost
Forever

A place called Home

Here I share my thoughts
Here I share my dreams
It's a place for me
Where I'm not afraid of being sad
Where I'm not afraid of feeling lonely
In this place
I am whole and broken
In this place
I am joyful and sorrowing
In this place
I am safe and vulnerable
In this place
I am bare
I am nothing more than myself
I am with you
Here you see me
Here you are with me
In this place we built
Together
Brick by brick

Empty Sheets

I sit alone
On empty sheets
Waiting for words to come
I'm so close, I almost see them

But they don't come
There are no words
Only whispers
Whispers that taunt me
Whispers that haunt me

I look down
The sheets are soft
Smooth and fresh
Ready to be unleashed

But I only disappoint them
I have nothing to give
Words don’t settle here
And so I wait
And so I remain

One more day

Just another day
One more lie
One more smile
A smile that says
Everything is alright
There are no problems
There is no pain
And the promise of tomorrow awaits
But it’s not real
It’s just part of the deception
But it seems real
Real enough so it’s not questioned
Real enough so no one suspects
Only you know
Only you see
Nothing seems to fit
Nothing feels right
And nothing can be done to change it
One more smile
One more lie
One more day

Pouring

They drop
Tip-Toeing at first
Heard here and there
Seen in the asphalt
Between the creases
Staying is tempting
It's considered, only for a moment
Suddenly, it's surrounding
They drop heavily
Uncontrollably
It's suffocating
It's blinding
It's mortifying
It feels like the end
Until it finally becomes clear
It is inside
It always was
