Sleepless Thoughts

I sat talking across from the person that knows me too well.

She is the mirror that I can’t avoid.

I have been fooling myself for so long,

I don’t normally get away with it this long.

Trying to justify my inner feelings

It’s normally a breeze to put feelings on paper,

But I’m having a hard time admitting those words.

“You are not that type of person.”

How do you ignore that statement?

They are words that seep into your psyche.

None of this makes any sense.

But I suppose it shows the truth,

Of how my head is truly working.

One last thought before I go,

I want to forgive you,

But I’m no longer that person

I’m the person you made me become.

I don’t know how to change that.

Embracing Comfort

To me

You’re just a blur

In a picture

That won’t focus

Giving a migraine

Of longing pain

That digs into

My one weakness

That is always

Looking back

Giving the comfort

To know

You are close enough

For me to go

Running back

To you

So I can

keep walking

forward.

The Uninvited Truth

I mean no harm when I speak the truth

I’m just trying to watch out for you

But now all I hear is silence

Knowing my words did not come invited

So I sit holding my breath

Till I hear the familiar tone

Of your message on my phone.

Euphoria

So much joy

To be expressed

On paper

Can’t find the words

to show the feeling

of my heart

skipping beats

of exuberant delight

at the thought

of my life’s blessings

as I sit

in pleasurable denial.

Feeling Yes

Sometimes you have to say no

To the nibbles and kisses

Before opening your eyes in the morning

Making you smile before the day even breaks

Sometimes you have to say no

To the walk in the park

Love that is ever so easy to see

In the reflection of their eyes

Sometimes you have to say no

To the life you thought you’d live

To search for the person

With eyes that don’t reflect you

But stare in a way

That makes you feel the warm glow

Of their love upon your skin

So that you can sometime say, yes.

Hitting Pause

What a week!

Or was it a month?

Everywhere I turned

So many emotions

A business venture

A funeral

Late nights

Early mornings

So much joy

Yet so much sadness

Mentally exhausted

I never let myself stop moving

In fear of a mental lapse

Even in sleep

Wheels keep turning

Needing a way to escape

My world

So I thank you all for writing such beautiful works

Allowing me to take a few minutes

And take glimpses into your worlds

While hitting pause on mine

Not That Simple

Someone said to me today,

“How did you do everything right?”

I keep doing things that make me happy.

Simple as that.

I can tell you though, happiness is a full time job.

Now that you mention it, it’s not that simple.

The Reveal

Before you can move on,

You have to admit what went wrong.

Do you know how long that took?

Before the guilt-ridden feelings,

Stubborn-ness and anger passed,

Allowing my mind to finally,

Believe what my heart was telling me.

I turned myself into someone you needed,

The rock that you could always lean on.

I was being pushed into the ground,

Not being able to come up to breathe.

No longer a rock but a pebble,

Being tossed around by someone’s shoe.

All the sad and broken feelings,

The passive aggressive revealing,

Must seem dark,

Getting a glimpse into my heart.

But through the year of self imposed torture,

I knew my heart was still pure,

I still wanted to apologize,

For leaving you without your rock.

I just –

Couldn’t take it any longer.

A Heart Cleanse

You won’t think this is about you,

Because why would you?

There is nothing in mind,

That would say you were mine.

Who knew a heart could ache,

Even after it breaks.

The past is the past,

But the feelings still last.

So I will try to be civil,

Tell my head to give a little.

For I still think about you,

For a moment or two.

I mean this in the nicest way,

**I hope, my old friend, your life will be as amazing as you say.**

Just Look Into Those Eyes

The sudden rush of emotion

Blood surging to your cheeks

Its like nothing else in the world

When you’re feeling something so sweet

You wonder if it’s true

Maybe your mind is pulling tricks

But when you look up into those of eyes of his

you couldn’t live with just a trick

To know that you are someone

That someone wants to know

Is something that can’t be taken

Or ever be mistaken

For we dream of love

Fairytales feeding our cravings

Leaving our minds full of hopes

And realities that aren’t quite the dreams

When our dreams and hopes

Fall from their high pedestals

We begin to learn

Love is not for the ungrateful

When that feeling comes around

We try to leave all skepticisms behind

Instead of questioning it’s motive

Just look into those eyes.
