Scream

Do you ever have a day
where nothing seems to please you
A day where everything feels like
sandpaper on your skin
Abrasively scraping away
all feelings of contentment
Until you just want to
SCREAM

Yeah,
Me too

When Darkness Beckons

When I am low and broken
By this struggle my life's become
When darkness threatens to close in
My friends are there to see me home

A cooling rain on fevered brow
Gentle caress to my tortured soul
Beacon of light in my darkest hour
Supporting hands when I'm feeling low

I thank you all who stand beside me
Through all my dark times of duress
You are my trusted cooling rain
You are my life's gentle caress

Lost Time

I want to spend some time with you
Just us
No agenda, no one else
to account for
Just us
Some time to sit and talk
Laugh
Get to know each other
and share what we
will
To say I love you
without words
just time spent
Laughing
Talking
Learning
about each other
building trust
learning to be
at home
I want this
so badly
affirmation after
loneliness
and despair
Hearts uplifted
by caring
Let's make this
Happen

Over

She stares at his face
as if to memorize
And wonders if he even sees her

Does he see she is drowning
Does he even care
Can he tell that she's leaving
Will he notice she's not there

When she's gone will he miss her
Will it matter in the end
Can't he see that it's over
Her heart's broken,
time will mend

Warmth

When I snuggle
Up to you
It may seem
I only want

To steal your

Warmth
That I only want you
For the comfort

Your warmth brings

Not so

You are more
To me
Than the sum of

Your warm parts

But
Oh
How I love
All of
Your warm parts

Remnants

I know that you don't want me
To put my cold foot
On your warm one
Over there 

On your side of the bed

I understand

I don't think you realize
I am just as happy
To put my cold foot
In the warm spot
You just vacated

I am content
With the remnants
Left by
Your warm body

Tree

He stands
Silent sentinel
Holding up the edge
of the mountain
Stately bones exposed
by time and elements
Majestic limbs
Pointing home
