\...White sheets with smiling faces,
bodies tightly bound--
the breeze whistles softly by
like the whisper of your voice
gently caressing my ears.
'It's almost too perfect to bear,'
as sunlight pours through the open hatch,
laughter cascading from your mouth
blanketing me in warmth--
you speak to me of dreams...\
Yet sometimes these days
seem so far away...
Inside...I am alone--
I will always be alone...
\"Why do I feel abandoned
even when the world surrounds me...?"\
The music echoes my soul,
shattering the memories of love
as I drift into restless nightmares
where you no longer exist.
There is no one to protect me--
I bring this upon myself...
It is my savior,
and my undoing...
Shivering...but not from cold--
muscles tightly clenched
as fury rages through my body...
How can so many emotions
assault me all at once?
Mind darting from one extreme to another--
and so much hate:
from where did it arise?
I would scream
but I fear that no one will listen...
so instead I drift--
go where I am bid...
But how long do I have
before my sanity snaps?
I'm just waiting for the day
that I'll hit rock bottom--
become consumed by the darkness...
And yet (from out the gloom)
a voice heralds hope's arrival,
as you shelter me from the pain:
\"I've loved before,
but this is different--
a red crayon compared
to crimson oil paint...
more vivid...more real..."\
And as you kissed my tears away,
you kept me safe--
nestled in your arms--
if only for a moment...

*shrug* Some random poem I wrote over like three days...my mood is never stable...heh...so though it may seem not to connect, it does in my mind.

sweet deal
I am happy that you found someone who makes you happy, I really am. I am the last person to give this kind of advice but . . . do not question the good times. They are so much more beautiful then people like us give them credit for. Everything is fleeting, but don't waste the happy times waiting for them to end. It is what we do with the happy times we have and I'll be damned but live and love to the fullest. You have a good thing, do not squander it, it is a worthwhile great thing, enjoy it.
