I don't feel loneliness
I don't feel your touch
Dream of your smell
I am without love
Empty and hollow
I suppose I must wait for these feelings to heal
The emotions will leave
Someday I will be presentable to the world again
Still
As I write
I am in misery
Empty of hope
And I long for you
To believe you would come back riding on a white horse is a ridiculous notion
Thank you Taylor Swift
Still
I can't help but wish someone would rescue me
Seeing as I am beyond the hand of rescue
And damaged
For I am crazy
That is what you say
Brought about with passion
Tempted to destruction
When you have been so far away
The cold calculating gaze of yours
Diagnosing my every move and step
You used to be close
We were friends
Now I terrify you
You can't look me in the eyes
I see your fear and I want to cry
I'm melting inside my mess
No help from outsiders
Everyone has left
I don't want them near
They scare me and I fear
I will go away farther
Run away from all
Elections, weddings, funerals, doctors appointments
I will run away from all if I can get out of my room
It's just too comfy here
Too comfy that I'm crying
re
Shining Hercules
Glorious to all the Gods
Golden in splendor
Warm in the heart
Loving in mind
Caring to all
And I am lost in you
I want to trace the contours of your body
Making every part last in my memory
You are far away
Mulling in your own spite and problems
I touch you
This imaginary happiness between us won't last forever
For soon I will drive you mad
As I drove away others
Watch you pack your things and walk up the hill as if it were nothing
I am irresponsible and merely a child
Yet this moment makes me feel warm and imagine
The cradle of life existing between parent and child
That bond that makes me feel safe with you and you safe with me
It is not for fear that I would not wish to miss you
It is the fact that your eyes are the starlight of heavens
Your face, marble statue
You are the sweet water of the stars
So far, So near
While this fate hangs in the balance
Your liking to me, a subtle question
I wonder to myself it is really of your interest
To take me as I am
To see me for what I am
Not as what I could be
Realizing the situation where I stand
Now, lacking in self-confidence and needing someone
Anyone
To see that I mean something more to the world
More than this dull, womanly business
