faint

making decisions
based on eyes
ears
voices
control with no remorse
guilt woven without consequences
lingering doubts
relief nonexistent

l walked to the bridge
the water rippled
caused by the rocks below
like life
we cannot move
without others
using a paddle
to create waves

a thread

so i pulled a thread
and not thinking about the end
or the beginning
just a thread

and as i pulled
i found tangles
and knots
and some of the thread
pulled easily
so i continued
to pull

there were shades of black
colors of red
and blues
some yellows
a lot of white
as the string came lose

my life became
a line
only distinguished
by the start
and stops
the shades of color
but i continued on

and all of a sudden
i saw the end
and i knew
just as i had pulled
through
i could not stop
and i continued on

almost naked

this picture is deceiving and sad
such is love
almost an acquired taste
what have i shown you?
because pain was the primary color
covering me
portraying weakness instead of
strength
sometimes plain words
are all we need
truth
stark
which is why black and white
should represent
a
relationship

the heart

as i start to run
i see your feet
running with my stride
and your heart is beating by mine
i reach for your hand to cling to
matching beat for beat
this support is all i know

glance around
feeling
the power of love
arms open wide
but no one to run into
so let me be
set me free
i hope for the best
you can be
except for me

if i fall through the cracks
but you still live
let me go
if i fall through the cracks
to save your life
set me free
let me be
