Gone.

 Maybe love was never meant to be mine,I try too hard, so much so, love almost feels like grabbing at air through a thick fog.... Other times it feels like walking on a tight rope, Where the only place I go is down. Love feels like shards of glass, rubbed against raw skin Or like the train that left without me, even though I was only 5 minutes late. I sing a song that no one hears, a colored TV, stuck on mute. Interesting to look at, but not good enough to want. Maybe I do try too hard. Offering comfort like a giant, cotton quilt and then being tossed aside when the draft passes. I want to be alone now, in shell, a cacoon, I want to close my heart shut and hide my emotions deep into the recesses of an empty abyss.

Fragile

A million drops on my rooftop, I listen as I lay in bed, Cold and sick  I think about the the face I hide The facade made to parade behind, Mobile screens, Thunder reminds me I cannot sleep My chest heavy,  But I do not cry, Just one of those days  Emotions hit louder My fists balled and tucked under, Hair that's become entangled Like thoughts of unrealistic expectations  Caught amongst moments of lost ambition, Time goes on, But my mind remains stuck  Disassociate, I can't stand myself And maybe with luck This will all mend.
