unwrapping

The mysteries of me, unwrapping carefully for the world to see. Save your song and dance; give only simple truth and honesty. Pay no attention to the words dripping echos from my lips, spinning cotton candy wisps effortlessly. Catch yourself holding on momentarily to the delicious exctasy. Close your eyes. Don't look my way as I'm thrust through the currents, carried away into reality. Dusty benches where lovers played their games, paths that bear no sign of tread, all rusting from the rains of my tears. Spring arrives to bear her mark of beauty, but I remain lifeless.

looking

I am looking for you, are you looking for me?
Your soft lips glazing my neck and face until they find their happy place.
I am hiding from you, are you looking for me?
Search in places you wouldn't expect. Lost places. Search for lost faces.
I am looking for you, are you hiding from me?

hiding me

Is it so difficult to be me? Happy or unhappy, something is always too much. Keeping my thoughts to myself and quietly being me, or speaking my mind, each outcome seems the same. Rejection kills me. What I view as natural seems over the top for most.

clear view

That was the last time I'll think of you.

Every glance behind shows a different view.

passenger

A backward glance and tears spill relentlessly on the inside. Trying to focus forward as ghostly figures catch the corners of my view, reaching for the me that used to be, that no longer remains. Outside I remain cold, indifferent to the pain, aching not for what was left behind but stepping fully into the present that will build my dreams to come. Hope carries me forward while old memories attempt to drag me under. Desolation lingers along the path I have walked. Fate cannot leave me abandoned to the destiny of destruction which has seemed to linger for so long. The answers lie hidden amongst today’s choices and tomorrow’s opportunities while the timeline of life beats raggedly, leaving a stumbling trail impossible for most to follow. Exhaling the breath of hesitation that I’ve held for so long; my lungs breathe in air laced with traces of happiness as confusion clears and the future changes shape.

Oblivion has released my secret pirate ship and I find that I am not its only passenger.

rescue

Can I tell you where I've been? Hiding in the shadows. I've been here all the time. Mostly. Maybe just partially. Was I ever here? I have never been.

Lost amongst the memories. Found between the stars. I told you to find me. We stumbled into each other. Neither looking for another. The greatest treasure found.

One last request ... rescue me.

subliminal

Moments slip by unnoticed. Today becomes yesterday and tomorrows never cease to be the future. All while the moment passes by unfinished. Easily released as the next eagerly awaits.

Awake to find yourself wandering aimlessly as the wrong turn seemed the right turn ... in the moment ... but that moment is gone and the next flashes by while wrong answers haze into right answers ... but a moment too late. Always a moment. Always the wrong answer.

Here I am. Vindicated.
