The box

There are six sides of love
each connected but two
hollow still, needing to be filled
waiting, and wanting for you

the joy i feel when i see your face
and i hold you close to me
the pain when you must leave my arms
and go back to where you must be

The truth of who we really are
beneath the lies of what we seem
hidden from fools who dont understand
and would keeps us from our dreams

a trusting heart that is open to love
a broken one closed off in fear
never touching, always reaching
so close, but never near

Shadows

i know that i have to learn how to let you go.
im not ready to. I dont want to.
but I need to.
You came into my life as
a beautiful light in my darkness
you were everything i needed.
And now that i need you so completely
I realize my mistake.
I was looking for the light. YOUR light.
But you were only looking for the darkness.

...

Everyday is just another until you smile at me.
and then the whole world feels the change.

Alone

My skin feels your absence
Like the velvet night sky with no moon or stars
I feel cold and empty, barren of even the faintest light.
