i would be

to see where you are
to be where it starts
to understand the place where you parked
to see where the sun sets
to be where the sun sets
i would be fine
i would be fine
to know that everything had its course

to love and be loved
to be where the world starts
to feel all the beat of hearts
to be calm and assured
to see where the horizon line blurs
i would be kind
i would be kind
to know that the world begins anywhere

to feel with the wind
to keel in emotions
to keep on holding
to keep frozen frozen
to keep heat hot
i would be whole
i would be whole
to know that the world is spinning

Holes

Creeping on a tree
A lonely vine
Holding on to something
For support
For their life
Something was amiss
Something was awry
Why does this become
Why must our minds lie
To know everything
And nothing
All you are is gone
It doesn't really matter
It doesn't really shine
Holes in the floor
Holes in the roof
Holes in the walls
Holes in the proof
they eroded
And decayed
Without a second glance
And now they are left
Forever sitting ducks
To the erosion
To the hurt
And now all that is left
Is to pick up the mess
And hope it goes quickly
And turns into dust

Tired

I keep feeling lost
I keep beginning to hope
Just to get squashed again
I keep running in circles
Getting way over my head
I keep wanting to shout it out
But it always stays in my head

My eyes are dry
My feat are bare
My life lives on without a care
And I stick to it
And I breathe it
Always around
And I feel in it
And I dream in it
Always without without making a sound

I can here my own voice
Talking in a monotone
And I can hear the desperation
That I know that they hear
And I know they want to help
And I know that they can't
So I am stuck in square one
Where I know I can't get out

And I am tired of it
Just tired of everything all the time
Tired of being here
With images assaulting my mind
I want to let go
I want to live
But it's just holding me back
I am so tired of it
Just tired
Tired
Tired of it

Alone

hello
i see this grave place
i see this empty space
i want to begin to understand
to hold on tight to anything else
but there is nothing there
besides the wait
and the dripping of heat
as the crack grows wider
and the feeling grows
the emptiness expands
until it consumes
and undermines

hello
i see the growth
i see the destruction
raging inside me
calm, while breaking bit by bit
all i can do is wait
but it is strung so delicately
and i don't know how to wait
it might not ever come
when do i start to look
if it snaps then i am done
forever to be in this expanse
of never relenting pain
until i shrivel to the dust

hello
i see my fate
i see the false
but the pretense
and the fear
i want and i need
to just hold you in my arms
and be safe
can't stand this hurt
pretending to be okay
when all i know
is everyday
how alone
i feel
and hope not to stay

hello
i see this dream
i see my need
i see the feelings i am too afraid to speak
more than lust
or status
or anything at all
just the pulsing
and the waking
and the pull of the waves
waiting to feel anything but the way it feels right now
waiting for it to grow back into the shadows
But the waiting is never enough

meh

Sometimes I want to jump and just feel
And breathe in the the air and discover the chill
Of a warm breeze against skin
The feeling of sun in my lungs
But the feeling of loss is never far from
And the city lights are crying out
For the forest and the sea
They never looked back to wallow
Still they drift farther and farther
It makes me want to scream
To just cry
Why does it hurt like this when all there is to life
Is to live and then die
The summer comes faster here then ever
When I want to be there
But I can't because I am disappearing
And I am messing up
And I am feeling
Feeling lost and alone
Like they told me it felt
But I could have never known it hurt so much
And I had to feel so much
I was so used to just being and not feeling at all
Anger in me at not really understanding
The set way of my feet and the jagged intake of breathe
The music that I hear
The places that I see
The food that I taste
And nothing but a memory
I am singing for my song to live
I am singing to give my heart away
So that I can truly live
Am I just too naive
Or not naive enough
I live and breathe and feel and believe
But it is never enough
I want and I need and I shrivel to dust
But it is never enough
I am gone to this
I am born to this
I will die to this
Do I see myself as clearly as I make out to do
Or am I living here, not having a clue
I am broken to this
I am set in this
I am bleeding to this
And still I feel
I feel so easily

And it is gone
Gone to the breeze that brought me there
Pushed away to be brought up again
Slipping into clouds and textures
Believing in the nothingness
Joy is all I have
But it is going sometimes
To leave me out to drift
But the feeling is gone now
Leaving me wondering what I missed
