Mouth Sealed, Never Healed

I think I may miss you

without knowing you at all.

Your smile pierced my soul

and I knew then I'd fall.

I don't even know you

but yet your aura shines.

You could brighten my darkness

if you'd only take the time.

Maybe if I took the time,

I could make you all mine.

But wait, darling, I don't

want to make you all mine.

I don't want to possess you,

take your liberty, and confine.

I just want our spirits to intertwine.

But I let you walk away moments

after you smiled my way.

Now I can't help but think

about you with each new day.

And it's my fault I miss you,

I kept my mouth sealed.

Now this wound I'm left with,

this achy desire,

may never be healed.

I miss you.

But I don't know you.

But I want to.

Forever more.

Lost at Sea

The waves are crashing;
They're crashing over me
and I'm barely treading water.
But I'm still breathing,
deeply. With this breath
more precious than the last.

This water is volatile.
I can't predict its waves.
It's shakier than my hands
and I'm swimming for my life,
alone. All alone
but I chose this predicament.

A boat floated near me.
Your hand protruded the side.
You urged me to take it,
but I chose not to see,
blindly. And I've been
slowly sinking ever since.

The Darkness

Stuck in the darkness

searching for some light.

Hoping you'll guide me

through my recent plight.

Praying you'll save me

and all will be alright.

Is it so wrong of me

to only seek you at night?

To be fine in the calm

but flustered in the fight?

I just want your light;

I just need your light.

It's so dark at night.

Been wandering too long

in search of your soul.

This journey called life

has taken its toll.

The fee has been steep;

my pocket has a hole.

Why do I feel half

when I should feel whole?

Am I really missing much?

What is it you stole?

Keep searching for your soul;

I just need to find your soul.

It's so hard to feel whole.

I keep on shouting.

I'm screaming your name.

The darkness drowns me

and the light never came.

I hear no echo, echo.

My shouting is in vain.

Is this where I am now?

Am I never to be the same?

Still seeking the light;

isn't that quite a shame?

I keep shouting your name;

I keep screaming your name.

But you never came.
