I was lost and alone, wondering in the dark. I came to the banks of a river. The water ran swift and deep and dark. No light shown on the water, clouds covered the stars and moon; just as the clouds of my life had blocked out all light and warmth from the sun. Did this river symbolize my life? The water was dark and the life within the water was cold blooded, just as my soul felt. It felt as if I had been in this dark place all my life, was almost comforting. But I missed the feel of sun on my skin, the feel of a soft breeze through my hair, the scent of rain in the air. I missed living but I...

We live in the same house
We sit in the same room
We eat the same meals
We watch the same television shows

Do we talk?
When we do talk
Do you listen?

When you look at me
What do you see?

Am I happy?
Am I sad?
Am I hurting?

I know what I see...
I do not see me anymore
I do not know who me is anymore
I see what the world wants me to be
I see what you have made me into

I need to see me again
I wonder if there will ever be a ME again
I think she is lost and cannot be found again.

My box is small
Wrapped in shiny silver paper
With a black ribbon bow on top
It is a pretty little box
In this box is where I live
This is where you have put me
But you forgot to put other things inside my box
You forgot to give me light
You forgot to give me space
You forgot to give me air
In this box is just me and death
Just like the firefly
I may have once shined and been pretty
I may once have flown free
You have put me in this box
My light has gone out
You cannot blame me for my light going out
You forgot to poke holes...

I miss looking into his eyes and giving him that look.
I miss moving in close
I miss that moment when you catch your breath, wet your lips and close your eyes right before the first kiss
I miss the soft sigh of joy when our lips touch
I miss running my hands up his sides, around his neck and through his hair during the kiss
I miss feeling his arms come around me, pulling me closer into him
I miss pulling back a bit from the kiss to kiss along his jaw line and to just press my cheek against his
I miss the deep breath and the feeling of contentment of just standing...
