The lights flicker and glow
The time and the moment pass by slow
I watch the world busy itself
Put myself up on the shelf
I sit with a warm cup of coffee on hand
Looking at this beauty so grand
And then my thoughts drift to you
Wondering if your Christmas would still be blue
It’s near Christmas, I hope you feel the warmth.
I hunger for love
I thirst for kindness
I crave for honesty
You can’t find the words to describe me.
I am known and unknown to you.
I am a familiar face and a stranger at the same time.
You think you know me but you are doubtful.
You look for the slightest touch of familiarity but it’s not there.
You stare and wonder and ask yourself
“Who is she?”
She dreamed wide awake
Dipped her toes on the warm sun
And let her hair dance on the night breeze
On a full moon with clear skies,
You’ll see me hopping around the moon.
Silently watching the world from space
Silently bidding people goodnight.
Many call out to the man on the moon
While I am all but forgotten.
Harsh words keep me from being myself
Although I still try to love myself more
Each day…
Harsh people kill me slowly inside
They devour what little self-esteem I have left in me
Some hearts are full
Some have lost almost all
Some hearts ache
Some hearts break
Some hearts want to no longer feel
Other hearts hurt but then learn to heal
Hearts can bend, break and fall
But hearts can also forgive and under the sun, stand tall
The life you lived was exciting
Your energy was fascinating.
Your voice was one of a kind
Not easily duplicated, not easy to find.
.
And then there were the sad times
The lows came like waves
You struggled, didn’t you?
Despite everything, you felt lonely still.
.
But you found your way
Before you went away
And even when it’s been many years since,
The memory of you will live forever.
I hear people scream
I’m in panic
Where am I?
I don’t understand what’s going on
I cover my ears to grasp silence
And when I open my eyes
I find that I am nowhere
I couldn’t love you for it would be a lie
I couldn’t let you wait on me or let you say you’d rather die
Than be alone and without me.
For what you felt for me was never love, not at all
It was infatuation and wanting, no, not love at all.
To hold your breath if I told you to
That would have been too much power I’d hold over you.
You were wrong for me for I never wanted or liked you
And I truly am sorry for I could never learn to love you.
