Where We Belong

I was dancing on the moon,
No rhythm, no gravity
You already reached the stars
Oh, how blinded you were by their light
I gave up on my moon dance
I returned to gravity
 There was a meadow; green and empty
It became my new home
So I could watch you from afar
Making sure whatever star held you captive,
Didn't burn itself out,
Didn't turn into a black-hole,
Didn't consume you completely
The moon was never my place
You mistakenly thought I belonged to a constellation
So you went out star hunting
I am only a light to guide you home
You belong to your heart
And I belong to...mine.

Elegant oblivion

Some perfume, the lovely dress
One last look into the mirror, a smile
Not what you would call elegant perhaps
But the closest she'll ever get to elegance
Was here and now

She walks knowing they await
Never truly needed
A presence that's merely reassuring
Brushed aside, an afterthought
She was done aching over all of that

Greeting them, a kiss on the cheek
Accepting compliments
The small talk, their pains,
Her prayers offered silently
Sincerely

Stolen moments from her private world
Into theirs
Back in the sanctuary of her room
No one else mattered, everyone else mattered
She lived in contradication more than anything else

And so,
It merely ended,
To start again. 

You

I saw you carrying on with your life
Though I knew there was a part of you waiting for me
I knew it yet I always doubted that fact
How can this be?
Don't ask
Just listen
I watched you, smiling hoping my smile changed something
Praying that it did
Made you smile
Lifted your spirit
Washed away the pain
Gave you hope
Saved you from self-doubt
Engulfed you in compassion
Took you away from the world
Brought me to your mind
Even for a moment
A moment can last a lifetime
What about forever?
What is wrong with wanting forever?
Now's enough
And a forever promise is...
Empty
Yet desired

Render me helpless

Pass me by
Heed me no attention
Don't bother smiling
Don't answer my questions
Don't listen to my words
Don't think of me
Never cry for me
Never plead my case
Never need me
Kill whatever thought you have of me
Forget me
Abolish me from your world
Ignore my efforts
Lie and deceive me
Tie me down
Lock me
Laugh at me
Think me worthless
Take my everything
Forsake me
Render me helpless
Answer them
Tell them what you never told me
Tell them what you exactly told me
Give them the world
Be there for them
Laugh with them
Reach out to them
Whisper in their ears
Crave their attention
Hurry into their arms
Burden yourself with their pain
Bring them joy
And when they've had enough of you
Find others
Just keep walking down the path I never took.
