How long have I known you
I feel you in my bones,
always right behind me
I know it, I just can't see
You,
and you are so wonderful and loving
soft kisses on worn out skin
I look,into your eyes
as pure as freshly planted rye
you really love me,
don't you?
In every touch,
am I too much?
not enough?
you alway smile, reassuring
oh, and how
curing it is
your love is felt
My only wish is to melt into
You
what, I wonder, have I ever done to deserve this?

The heart
painfully shy.

Longing for acceptance.

Reins in its desires.

Believing nothing good
can ever come to it.

And therefore refuses to try.
 
Hurts the one it cares for
then begs for forgiveness.

But can never
forgive itself.

Lives in the past now
where dreams become
a way of life.

 
Tries to find
the right words to say
to somehow
make the pain go away.

 
And remains forever  
one beat short
of dying

from
regret.

All I did was blink
and suddenly frail and forgetful
had stolen the vibrancy
I’d taken for granted.

Your look still bears that familiar smile
which sparks an ebbing life
and brightens dimming eyes.
But when you think
no one’s watching,

I am…

Everything rang in their ears all at once
Not having time to process anything, they acted on instinct
A finger on the trigger
Three more bodies crumpled on the soil
Like tissue paper

Before One could open his mouth to articulate his thoughts
Two had started screaming
And Three had his head cradled in his hands
Four met his stare fiercely
And One was glad to be reassured that his rifle was pointing downwards
