Zena Blank

Everything I go through for you
Brings me to tears at times
It seems nobody approves of us
Together
...

why are we built to be with another
why is it so difficult for society to accept loneliness
loneliness releases us
companionship
...

How is it
How in the name of this earth
How is it that when we need someone
Those closest to us
...

Why?
Why do I suffer for you?  
Why do put up with all this for you?
I know what we have is strong
...

You point out all my flaws
Every word pushing and pushing
Until the edge is reached
I break after the fall
...

You
You have torn me
You have made me feel things I didn't know could be felt 
You waltz around in my head like its your playground
...

In this moment
You could be with me
In this moment
Your are thousands of kilometers away
...

Every second
I'm thinking of you
Every second
It hurts me
...

Somtimes
Life hands you little things
Small and insignificant
Most of the time we just pass them by
...

I'm looking 
Emptiness fills my sights 
It's where you should be 
Where you were
...

Its funny
Distance
Thousands of kilometers
Simply measurement
...

I can’t compare you to anyone
No one else is like you

No one else has that jaw
...

See this space beside me, that's where you should be
See this hand, it should be holding onto yours
See these eyes, they should be looking into yours
See these feet, they should be walking beside yours
...

They say ignorance is bliss
They're wrong
Ignorance ruins us
Let's us watch others fall apart
...

No physical damage
yet you are in deaths hands
his clutches tighten ever so slightly
day by day
...

I surrender
my white flag is waving
upon what I once called mine
all my glory
...

Little duckling
awkward and flightless
try as he might
he cannot gain years fast enough
...

one step forward
two steps back

never getting anywhere
a constant vortex
...

we are told to raise our voices
to speak out
express ourselves
let the world know what we think
...

I need to feel
break out of this skin
the skin of a stranger
I don't know my own reflection
...
