you and Itogether
breathing the same air
separate
distant
apart
__________________________________________________________________
you are too deep for me
rise to the surface; share my air
you are too deep for me
I cannot live in your depths
come to my world
of bright colours and sounds
where passions reign
and music swells
you are too deep for me
I lose you in dark shadows
you are too deep for me
too remote to comprehend

The bright butterfly said to the dull greeen caterpillar,
"Come fly with me upon the breeze. Come flutter with
me among the flowers and the grass. Be free with me
in the warm sunshine."
The caterpillar said, "No."

Tears On My Pillow
"Why are you crying?"
You don't want to know
So you never actually ask
The words hang between us
Unspoken.
I'm crying because I'm afraid
My heart has been hidden for so long
Safe beneath the scab I've grown
And your touch is peeling it away.
I'm afraid to be vulnerable
I'm afraid to open to pain
It could be good
But is it worth the risk?
I don't know.

Despair gnaws my soul
Like winter's breath
Hopelessness washes over me
Like the unstoppable tide
____________________________________________________________________
I am dashing myself against the rock that is you
I am bruised, cut, and torn by your indifference
