"Detach"It causes too much confusion
to simply let this go
I want some confirmation
without sounding desperate and low
I know that I'm being impatient
expecting too much too soon
Maybe I need to retract my hope
Before my ego's all in ruins
Was I really that clueless,
reading too much into nothing?
Was it unfounded daydreams,
where my heart was only bluffing?
*******************************
"why"
Why am I a nervous wreck,
why does my heart beat fast?
I lick my lips neurotically
as I reconcile my past...
Finding the perfect wording,
to banish the previous dark,
Sharing love that overflows
without nourishing false sparks.
The fire that was let to die,
it must stay all in my head.
I can have the best of both worlds,
if I'm careful how I tread.
**********************************
"Driftere"
To be alone
and yet a part
to be together
and yet unique
To find oneself
on the tipping point
To start anew
in a well-worn town
To reconnect
and yet to ache
To nourish love
and yet hold back
To know what's real
and yet to search
To see the past
and yet cherish now
