Raw Emotion
Emotions pour from your fingers , straight to me ..
Your green eyes ,
So deep ,
Yet so soft ..
I can see them from where I sit ,
Taste your lips on mine still ..
And your smell that engulfs me ,
Shades my senses ,
To the point where my mind wanders ,
Finding only you ...
Finding only the image of what could be ..
Or is that should be ?
The thought ,
of where 'we' could go ,
Is beyond my stubborn mind ..
You spill the words out ,
Telling me things that I don't want to hear
The things I need to hear ...
And I feel I no longer make sense ,
That everything I live is my own false illusion ,
A game that's been played so long ..
That now there are only losers ,
When in reality I am the one who looses ...
So here i sit ...
On the other end of your honesty ,
Stone cold ,
Eyes wide ,
Watching ,
Waiting ...
For the next move ,
For one of us to break ,
For something that may never become ...
Wondering ,
Should I even let this happen ?
Am I even ready for this ?
A thousand things go through my simple mind ,
Making me think things that I know are not right ..
Putting judgments upon myself ,
The same judgments you lay on me ,
When I laid in your bed ..
That night , I felt so free ,
So very afraid ,
In total bliss ..
Yet so alone ,
Confused ..
As I do now ,
As I hide ,
As I pretend I am this bitch who doesn't give a damn ,
This person who has given up on the idea of being 'in love' ..
I close my dark brown eyes,
Run my fingers through my hair ,
Loose myself in my music ,
And try Not to think ..
Of your green eyes that are so clear in my mind ...
Your words filling me ,
Spilling into my mind like the river leads to the sea ..
Your body so dangerously close to mine ,
The taste of you skin ,
Your lips pressed to mine ..
Sighing softly ,
I try not to think ,
Of what could be ....
