pressed softly against my cheek,
and you hum
a lullaby of gentle breaths
until you are sleeping
in my dream.
Behind closed eyes,
I watch myself twirl
under a blank sky
and lift my arms
to color it blue.
Your lullaby fills my mind
and you appear to grasp my waist,
holding me high
above the clouds.
With your help,
I clutch the air and smile proudly

and the comfort you endow.
A gentle breath
escapes from between your lips
and you murmur
what I imagine to be my name.You reach for me
and my body trembles from
the warmth of your touch,
the brush of your hand
against my cheek.
A sigh escapes
from my own lips

billow over chutes of bark
that scrape our backs
as we clutch the aged grooves with haste.
Your arms drape around my shoulders
from behind,
blocking raindrops as if
they were fatal
and holding me as I grasp the trunk.
We laugh
with the realization of our youthful
existence.
You spin me around and I face you.

ripped to shame
as we await our entrance.
The stage is lit
and we enter,
cued by the uproar below us
and the company
that remain blinded by the illusion.
You bow,
appearing humble and innocent
to all who stare.
Our eyes meet as you straighten
and you indulge me with a flash
of betrayal.
Your hand extends,
and with ease
you present me to the sea of blurred faces

dusting gossamer webs
and compelling my legs to cover ground.
Whispers you endow
embrace a newborn,
my ringing ears
sensitive to the sound of your words
and the silences between.
In one swift motion,
your mind enters mine
and I am entranced by your thoughts.
I empty myself,
my world in your hands
as you dance around the simplistic idea
of our coalescence.
Drifting mindlessly,

You laugh;
titillated by this sensational defeat

I close my heart
and shut your door,
each affliction fading,
my scarred mind
making you disappear -with no memories of you,I'll forget how to cry.

there's a home in my heart,
these eyes are vacant;
a soul torn apart

far out of my reach.
Your accusations

slowly, gently,
I have begun to break
in the slightest ways that I wish
you could see.
Your invisible standards
are now clear as day
I fear I've lost control

wander blindly in the darkness
as eyes shift restlessly,
searching for a single glint
buried within the fabricated midnight.
A once certain heart
beats fiercely,
caged behind marrow bars,
and memory recedes
into blank trepidation.
Facing the black abyss,
stiff hands tremble,
awaiting a single spotlight
to streak the dark.
A flash.
Expectant glances blur into focus;
captivate me,

You're GoneWhen you're gone,
my heart shatters
as I sit waist deep
in thoughts of you.
This empty home
has left me alone.
I'm waiting for you
to open the door.
Save me,
I'm drowning in shame.
If you're gone,
maybe life will start anew.
Memories will collapse
in the wrinkle of endless time,
opportunity will knock
at the door of my hollow heart.
I'm home,
emptier than before.
