I am thinking of you
Thoughts of you swirl throughout
The recesses of my mind
Bitter-sweetened torture
...

I honestly feel like
I'm losing my mind
Without you
As time keeps on passing
...

So enchanting,
Watching, as you begin to steal my empty heart
Away from me and fill it in with brand new dreams
And memories
...

My heart is filled with the ashes
Of our love burned away
I've emptied out my soul
Until there's nothing left to say
...

When you are truly alone
No one answers your questions
No one holds you
Until the trembling stops
...

Autumn is a slow
Decaying death
Winter burdens you
With its gloom
...

If you saw me lost-
Alone
Would you call out my name?
If you found me
...

The very moment after I'd spoken,
The second the words left my lips,
I wished with all of my heart
That I could take them back
...

The passage of time
Speeds up, slows down
With emotions interwoven
And meanings profound
...

I had a dream one night
In which i walked through a meadow
The sun was blazing an intense heat
My heart was pounding
...

You dance throughout the galaxies
Trailing stardust behind
Twirling in abandonment
Within non-linear time
...

The broken ones cut their feet
As they walk upon the pieces
Of their broken dreams
Ghostly figures in the shadows
...

In someone's shadow
I can speak real loud
While standing behind
I can still stand out
...

When we are face to face,
And I look directly at you,
It's almost like looking at my own
reflection in the mirror
...

In the moments after you had gone
It seemed as though time had
Gathered together
To stand beside me,
...

The lure of our becoming
Pulses through the universe
Our heart is the dwelling place
Of Him,
...

Why do I allow myself
To think back to those times
Of warmer, brighter days
While I'm stuck here
...

Whenever you look at me
Somehow its me you never see
You're glance glazes then grazes over me
Although I've always seen all of you
...

He is a whisper away
In a breath of fresh air
He is wherever you are
And everywhere
...

As minutes turn into hours
As days turn into years
My children grow taller
I start to feel smaller
...
