Rebound
I know I have a voice
My question is
Can no one else hear it?
I feel I'm screaming
at any and all
Trying to get a reaction
But I just continue to fall
Do you not see me?
do you chose not to call?
I try to pick myself up
But I've hit a wall
When it's all about you
I'm at your beck and call
But now that I need
Some hope for me
You aren't to be found
So I will try to
Stop my descent
Before I hit the ground
Would you catch me
On the rebound?
My question is
Can no one else hear it?
I feel I'm screaming
at any and all
Trying to get a reaction
But I just continue to fall
Do you not see me?
do you chose not to call?
I try to pick myself up
But I've hit a wall
When it's all about you
I'm at your beck and call
But now that I need
Some hope for me
You aren't to be found
So I will try to
Stop my descent
Before I hit the ground
Would you catch me
On the rebound?

the beach
The sunrise reflects
Off the dancing waves
The seagulls circling overhead
in the dark blue
Morning sky
The breeze carries
The sound of your laughter
straight to my heart
Laying on the sand
With my eyes closed
And my face to the sky
I can feel the
Warmth of your smile
As you bend over me
Your lips capturing mine
creates a moment in time
that I will always rewind
Off the dancing waves
The seagulls circling overhead
in the dark blue
Morning sky
The breeze carries
The sound of your laughter
straight to my heart
Laying on the sand
With my eyes closed
And my face to the sky
I can feel the
Warmth of your smile
As you bend over me
Your lips capturing mine
creates a moment in time
that I will always rewind

no way out
You tell me I am not the same
No I'm not
I would think you would
Rather I was not
But I guess
My emotional mess
Was what was needed
For you to be attentive
My misery was
Your gain
My insomnia
Was your game
I was your pawn
To play with as you liked
To be seen
And not heard
To be used
At your convenience
Well the time has come
For me to say....
I'm done.
The end of us has come
Turn about fair play
Don't come to me
Wanting to say
What you think
Will get you your way
Your way...
No I'm not
I would think you would
Rather I was not
But I guess
My emotional mess
Was what was needed
For you to be attentive
My misery was
Your gain
My insomnia
Was your game
I was your pawn
To play with as you liked
To be seen
And not heard
To be used
At your convenience
Well the time has come
For me to say....
I'm done.
The end of us has come
Turn about fair play
Don't come to me
Wanting to say
What you think
Will get you your way
Your way...

You
How fast my walls did fall
How high I had built them
So no one would get in
How hard I became
Until you said my name
I was well on my way
To a place
No one else would stay
I was done
I was leaving
I was coming undone
Your voice filled my days
Your words filled my mind
Yet we had never met
Still
you entertained my thoughts
Made me want to stay
Got me to stop
And
Admire the way
Someone who barely knew me
Knew me better than them all
How high I had built them
So no one would get in
How hard I became
Until you said my name
I was well on my way
To a place
No one else would stay
I was done
I was leaving
I was coming undone
Your voice filled my days
Your words filled my mind
Yet we had never met
Still
you entertained my thoughts
Made me want to stay
Got me to stop
And
Admire the way
Someone who barely knew me
Knew me better than them all

morning addiction
Your scent lingers on the bed
On my skin
In the air
I breathe it in
Missing the feel of you
Next to me
Laying in the warm spot
You had just been
Through sleep filled eyes
I watch you
Warm, wet and naked
Get ready to leave
I can feel your eyes
Linger on my own
My fingers entwined with yours
When you bend over the bed
For one last goodbye kiss
The taste of coffee and toothpaste
Have become my morning addiction
On my skin
In the air
I breathe it in
Missing the feel of you
Next to me
Laying in the warm spot
You had just been
Through sleep filled eyes
I watch you
Warm, wet and naked
Get ready to leave
I can feel your eyes
Linger on my own
My fingers entwined with yours
When you bend over the bed
For one last goodbye kiss
The taste of coffee and toothpaste
Have become my morning addiction

sleep
The turned down bed
Invites us in
Your scent on my skin
as you slide in
Next to me
The warmth of your skin
Next to mine
the rise and fall of your chest
Under my hand
My breath warming the back
Of your neck
the murmered " I love you "
Accompanies me to sleep
Invites us in
Your scent on my skin
as you slide in
Next to me
The warmth of your skin
Next to mine
the rise and fall of your chest
Under my hand
My breath warming the back
Of your neck
the murmered " I love you "
Accompanies me to sleep

sunrise, sunset
The rising sun kisses your skin
Reflects in the warmth of
Your blue eyes
I watch your hand
Holding your coffee
And smile
Remembering the feel
Of that same hand
On my skin
The setting sun kisses your skin
I watch your hand
Holding mine
And hope
That this is the way
All our days will end
Reflects in the warmth of
Your blue eyes
I watch your hand
Holding your coffee
And smile
Remembering the feel
Of that same hand
On my skin
The setting sun kisses your skin
I watch your hand
Holding mine
And hope
That this is the way
All our days will end

to start the day
The quiet of the dawn
unbroken but for the sound
Of your breathing
I am content to listen
watching the first light
Of day
Make its way across the bed
To caress your face
The peace I see in your features
Is reflected on my soul
The weight of your arm
Across my stomach, a welcome warmth
The naked expanse of your back
A sight I never tire of
Your head on my chest
A good way
To start the day
unbroken but for the sound
Of your breathing
I am content to listen
watching the first light
Of day
Make its way across the bed
To caress your face
The peace I see in your features
Is reflected on my soul
The weight of your arm
Across my stomach, a welcome warmth
The naked expanse of your back
A sight I never tire of
Your head on my chest
A good way
To start the day

the inside of my mind
The sound of your voice
Repeats in my head
Phrases and snippets
Of conversations past
Some near to my heart
Some like to shred
Me apart
The sound of the waves
I pray
Silence the sound
of my mind
Going down the path
From which I
May never come back
You have given me back
The feelings I lacked
yet
You seem to have
A knack
For
Making sure
I never forget
From where those feelings
Came from
Repeats in my head
Phrases and snippets
Of conversations past
Some near to my heart
Some like to shred
Me apart
The sound of the waves
I pray
Silence the sound
of my mind
Going down the path
From which I
May never come back
You have given me back
The feelings I lacked
yet
You seem to have
A knack
For
Making sure
I never forget
From where those feelings
Came from

just take it and go
In my head I hide
In my mind I scream
Inside my body
My feelings have turned to ice
You have seen to that
You have made it your goal
To quash the little
Bit of self esteem
I was able to muster
I thought I had things
Well in hand
But I see you made sure
I was wrong
Again
I lay at your feet
And bleed
And you
Are just of the mind
To
Tell me To kindly
Not make a mess
I'm too tired To care
Anymore
Take my pride
Take my mind
Just leave me alone
And let me go
You only...

at it again
There you go again
Just when I thought
We had gotten it right
You're at it again
Like a slap in the face
Your personality shift
Hit me from out of the blue
A trouncing of my ego,
Always good for a laugh,
A stomping of my pride,
Best to make sure
I swallow it all,
Save nothing but the fall
In your passive aggressive way
You take the blame
Reading between the lines
I know that means its all mine
So in my straightforward speak
Let me be clear
I know you meant
Every word that was said
So feel free...

goodbye
My veins bleed with your disdain
My heart you can have
It's dead now anyway
You made sure of that
You never let up
You never stopped
It was your goal
To build me up
To tear me down
Every time I thought
I knew the rules
You changed them....
Well fuck you too
I don't need you
my emotions have bled out
Onto the floor
So baby, please don't mistake
my leaving out your door
For anything other than
Goodbye
My heart you can have
It's dead now anyway
You made sure of that
You never let up
You never stopped
It was your goal
To build me up
To tear me down
Every time I thought
I knew the rules
You changed them....
Well fuck you too
I don't need you
my emotions have bled out
Onto the floor
So baby, please don't mistake
my leaving out your door
For anything other than
Goodbye
