Soon Be Gone

I can’t remember your face,

Or the way you smile.

I don’t remember your laugh

Or your passions.

I’ll probably die before I realize

What is in front of me—

I’m too austere to realize

What’s before my eyes until it’s gone.

Blocked by fear you are my inhibition;

I’m afraid you too will soon be gone.

Why must I sit here in silence

When you are what I wanted

All along.

Without Thought

With each snow flake my heart sinks

Breathing has become a chore—

Speech is gone long before I can think

Opening my mouth could win the war.

My eyes are pasted against the ground.

Making comparisons to stars and sky,

I’m in my own world, don’t hear a sound—

I have two left feet and a mind that lies.

Years pass and I stay asleep, hibernating

Never will I see I slept through spring.

Stole My Heart

I'll be the last person standing,
When the world comes to an end.

Back in the fire, if only for today--
Let me whisper in your ear, melt the ice away.

I'll be the only person left dancing,
When I have broken every friend.

Back in my head I'll stay reclusive,
Lost in memories of you that are long elusive.

I'll be the only person dying,
When your heart is on the mend.

Back in the fire, if only for today--
Please, please tell me that you are here to stay
