Truely Pixelated Eyes

You,
Pouting lips,
Straight smooth hair,
Closed gaze averting eyelids,
Texting with baby sized fingers,
Wearing a shirt that says spiderman.

Baby,
So pretty,
Staring, not believing,
Closing your ears completely.

Because:
You are,
holding your face,
wanting to be heard.

Can you feel it in your bones? Is winter coming sooner this year, or is it just the wind from your door you forgot to close...

Bold,
Unsung,
Unsure,
Cowardly.

You are you,
Unchanging,
Unwilling,
Waiting for the sun.

Cold comes,
Creeping,
Rising,
Suffocating you.

Cowardly,
Scared,
Repenting,
Unafraid of death.

Where are we going? I have no idea.

I'm happy for someone who I don't really know,
Possibly because I don't know what to expect,
After giving my honest respect,
What if I find out they don't deserve it?

... Can you take back what can't be held, but felt?

There's a knot that can't be untied,
in the back of my throat,
which leads down to my heart-

If I asked you to help me,
would you untie it slowly,
or would you cut away,
cutting. Cutting. Cut.

I'm falling now,
Falling out of respect,
Wondering how you got so high in the first place.

Beautiful thing, you

Treating me differently,
I suppose.

Because you're beautiful,
Not me.

We're not so different,
You and I,
Except that I'm in love with you,
No matter what comes between us until we die.

What a refreshing breath of air, to breathe from this stale earth

Standing in the same places I've always been,
staring at the same sights I've always seen,
There's something new,
Do you see it?

You didn't know her name,
You didn't want to play this game,
but now it's a beautiful thing to feel once again.

I understand that you're nervous,
uncomfortable, uneasy.

But maybe you haven't gone so far,
to see that things aren't always so green on the other side.

The water's cold here,
Your heart is warm, dear,
Let me see what you have to say,
Inside.

What a refreshing breath of air,
you have given me;
I haven't smiled in so long,
but there's more to come, you'll see.

Simply put,
I think you're special.

Simply gone,
I miss you more than ever.

Enjoy the wait,
Build the suspense-
We haven't grown apart,
not yet;
And I hope we never have to.

I've been silent for too long

I've had nothing to say for a while now.

When there is nothing to be said,
why should I speak?

Wasting breath,
all for the sake of loving yourself.

I am not that man,
I have fallen out of love.

Spoke too many words to people who did not care,
Decided it wasn't worth trying any more.

Learned a lesson,
Didn't want to teach other people, too.

Find your own way.
I am not someone you should look up to.
