When you build a brick wall to keep people out...

Don't be surprised when you peek around the edge,
only to find that the same people you blocked out...

Have built their own walls to keep it that way.

Pull off the mask and see.

See only a man.

A man who will die.

The dead cannot save you.


Suddenly, you're lost.

Do you admit it?

No.

Humans are inherently stubborn.

We linger.






Screaming into the void, we linger.

I remember
Crisp November air
Salty from the ocean
Sunlight
Dancing on near-white sands
A moment
Of peace
I fell in love with you then.

Sleep is for the weary, and the weary are for sleep.

I have told you to leave me be.

Others have told you to leave me be.

Take the hint.

And where's my money?

The night is never long enough.

For a moment in time you needed me.

I was amazed.

Like a moth to a flame, I could not resist.

Being there for you.

Holding you.

Like I always tried to do.

You spoke of words unspoken.

As though there were secrets left to share.

Were you trying to give me courage?

Or yourself?

I only ever left one thing unsaid.

Instead of pushing me away,

You should have asked me not to leave.

Just once.

All I ever wanted was for you to need me the way I needed you. Somewhere along the way I realized that it's your loss, not mine, if you don't.

Forget This

I avoid the dead of night
For that's when I miss you

The most

Long-distance phone-calls
Lengthy chat sessions
Lying in each others arms

Just being with you
Was so easy and yet

So hard
