Jane Eyre

.
I feel my words coming to an end

My feelings have slowly bled draining all emotion from my frail body

There’s a chill spreading from my fingers zeroing in on my pounding chest

A numbness taking siege marching through my veins

My face is wet but how can there be more tears to spill?

Where would they come from in this empty void?

There’s a sharp shrill ringing in the air filling my ears

Bouncing across my brain and shutting down these thoughts

This door I am stricken against will be my tomb

No movement can be achieved from these blistered soles

No hope can be gained from my slowing heart

I open my mouth but I can only moan

Slipping to the floor my body is shutting down

My eyes glaze over and the world becomes dark

There are no words.

We'll See

I don't know where to go poetry wise. I mean, I guess it has to be a comon feeling for people who write, they call it mind block. But the worst thing for me is, I know exactly what I want to write about. There's so much crammed into my head that I feel like I might just explode at any moment. Surely now I should be at my most creative? right now while I'm so vulnerable?
I want someone to listen to me, not see right thought me. I want someone here who really really gives a shit. It stings when you've been friends with someone so long that when your words bounce off their skull you're not suprised but there's no one else out there you want to tell. For what its worth I know people try. But what is it worth? really? I feel like I'm losing them, slowly, gradually. We'll see.

This is Enough

.
Insecurity fills my eyes
my tears coat the floor
you couldnt meet my eye
I was falling away
.
I packed up my bags
I left a mess
you never called me
You left regret
.
We never spoke
words wouldn't work
feeling so numb
but nothing remained
.
Maybe I'll forget
maybe you'll regret
maybe we'll return
Maybe baby this is enough
.

Become

.
Now held and wanted
These warm arms entice
Feeling the heart beat
Breathing the same air
Love and trust begins me
Comfort and safety shields
friendship pure and strong
sisterly affection is what i show you
and family we've long become
Desire and passion hidden
thoughts and dreams gone loose
love becomes a shadow
The cloak becomes a noose

Somewhere between Monday and Tuesday

.
Stretched and worn the day closes
Warm desires for rest wash over
Picturing closing my eyes and sleep
Only dreaming can find peace
Your face undoes the desire
Your words spark a familiar flare
Soothing, comforting conversation
My heart beats steady
My soul settles down
Passion hits the throat and we speak
Agreement and understanding floods through
Gently home sets down around us
Work forgotten and fears put aside
We are warm in our words
Friendly our hearts desire
I can rest
.
