Feeling a multitude of emotions, that feel jumbled inside. So I thought I'd try to articulate it in a poem.
I wished upon a star And here you are Standing right in front of me Like kismet Writing words with little meaning
Twirling in a dizzying array of wo… Held captive to the orchestra of t… When the icy breath of winter appr… My dismay is irreproachable Sleeping in the arms of slumber
In a desert land Reaching out my hand To an unknown love Carried by the wind Caught in a whirlwind
Fighting in shades of gray Mouthing words I cannot say Before the battle ends Night descends Falling upon hearts betrayed
Trying to understand But my mind is numb Walking through a land of fog It’s hard to see When your mind is closed
Crying over you In my dreams Chasing you Through countless streams Traveling from state to state
You gave me a promise I relied everything on you In time you let me down You distort my love for you Into a ravenous wolf, a clown
Feeling like a hurricane Burning like kerosene Glistening with a golden sheen I forget everything I’ve seen Hiding behind masks of confusion
Dying a little bit each day I’m a… Yearning for your touch Like the desert yearns for rain Trying to pretend I don’t need yo… That I don’t miss you
Jumping in the sky When I’m in your arms I soar Diving into the Milky Way Trying to make the fear of love ok Flying over rooftops & seas
Chasing dreams By any means Wanting more But what for? Lying on the floor
Reaching in the frigid cold Searching for a hand to hold To give me hope To give me strength In the hallows of my mind
Abandoning logic Giving into my emotions Diving into a torrent of magic Swallowing a strange illogic Dancing in the rain
Something’s changed, like I knew it would. The feeling’s subsided, like a piece of drift wood. Chasing after shadows in the dark. Calling out your name in the stillness of the night. Yo...
Dreaming in black & white Bracing for a fight Chasing shadows through the night Trying to avoid all light For fear of being hated
