Speak How can I live but when you smile? A part of me dies even now. The silence cuts me Worse than a dull blade. Can we fight? At least that is something. I don’t want to hurt you. I’d rather die than hurt you But this silence kills me even now. Ever now This moment moves so slowly And cuts me down. Please speak What your heart longs to tell But your mouth refuses to release. Just tell me.

Descend Descend the stairs, one by one. Hit the bottom Turn the corner. Instantly the purpose of the trip is forgotten. It’s importance floats away. Lips brush, The space between is eliminated. It doesn’t matter why we’re down here Alone together, Just that we’re here. Alone Together.

Counting Sheep One, Two, Three. Sheep keep me company. We spend our nights together, So much so I can barely keep my head off My desk when we’re apart. Some are white and fluffy; Others are dark as storm clouds. All, though, are star athletes. Jump, Jump, Jump Over that faithful fence. With its old cracked and flaking white paint. It never misses a beat But steers my fluffy sheep friends in their prancing Until Dawn comes And guides my night time friends To sleep Sweet sleep. Until at night we meet again. Rinse and Repeat.

The Scars No One Sees I will build a wall to keep you out, while I collapse on the inside. Quietly.  Don’t draw attention To the scars you silently scream out, Cry out, for someone, anyone! to hear or see. Quietly, don’t draw attention. If you give in now and Cry out, for someone, anyone! to hear or see, There’s no going back. If you give in now and Share your tears, There’s no going back. You will have taken off the mask you constructed so carefully. Share your tears. To the scars you silently scream out: You have taken off the mask you constructed so carefully And, exposed, wonder what is left beneath?
