From you,
I felt the most genuine love,
And yet,
I cant be any nearer to you..
I fell for you,
as the best version of myself,
And yet,
I can’t be any closer to you...
I forgo,
as I search many a mans eyes,
And yet,
I can’t be there with you...
I could praise, laugh, support you,
And yet, my arms cradle myself tonight?
I do not,
seek love,avenge, or beseech
the warmth of touch...
And yet, I still fret..
Like a claw of a hammer
to a nail in a board...
How tough,
does this soft hearted woman
have to thrash,
As, I watch you lash out...
How many feelings do I surpress?
And yet,
my emotions feel abashed
taken out like trash...
Is this all a facade?
Feeling like a fascist
I could watch our love,
crash and burn
Then build a bon fire to keep us warm...
My co-dependency lights up like an ugly Christmas sweater
I know better,
But my heart is mute
I know the fate, of us,
Is moot
Hope feels minute
But how do I tell my lungs to quit taking in air?
How unfair to see, you through a screen-
and still never really feel seen...
