simply...

magic's fancy
dark wind blows
thru nights of mist and mystery...

soft lips long
for the hard press of he
but he is elsewhere far...

her heart beats pain
her breath is forced
laced with lover's sweet poison...

to know why the game
to understand is beyond her
she simply wants to love him

that's all her wanting-
waiting-reveals...in the end
she longs simply to love him...

declaration

bent, battered, bruised-
but never, never, never...
broken.
you test my resolve-
play games with
this fragile heart-
make light my perceived
weakness-
you underestimate me-
you have no idea the depth of my love...
and in this love i find my solace.
in this love dwells my peace.
i revel in knowing that
what you don't know is this-
my fragile heart beats strong
and will never, never, never...
be so broken...
that i can't rise up and love again.
so do your worst...
i will only show you my best-
i will stand in this love
and i will look deep into you-
and i will see what you so
desperately try to hide...
i will see you-
and i will love...
you...

love you...

keep your conditions,
your expectations,
your thoughts of what should be...
all i want is to love you...

somebody else's somebody

tryin to be somebody...
according to somebody's rules-
somebody else's idea of what it takes to be
somebody...
when all i want-
all i really, really want...
is to be
me...

weakness

strong-
be strong...
how the fuck should i be strong?
when my heart is so strongly-
pulling me to places
that glorify my weakness?
how weak is my weakness?
really?
when it can tear my resolve
to pieces...

always more...

If only you could grasp
the depth of what I feel-
from where I see you.
You are so much more than
the pain you delve in.
The dark you wear merely a cloak-
for there is a light...
it's there-in your smile-
in your laugh-
as much as the blackness you are...
there is always more...

my name is...

my name is...
does it matter?
i didn't pick it...
you want to know me?
or just my name?
would you like me to introduce m'self?
i am...
nervous, neurotic-
anxious and sad...
i am...
hopeful, happy-
idealistic and real...
i am all this and more-
do you really just want to know my name-
or do you want to know...
me?
