Inside My Mind
34

inspired in the dark
held up to the light
beautiful
after shedding the heartache
scraping off the last of the worry
eyes dry
lips matte
green eyes made darker
secretive
squinting at the suspicious statue
in the mirror
bright smooth
all seeing
glass
a reflection
but not of her
she looks in to see a girl
hurt mysterious
matured but naive
not her
12

handmade so she would be everything they wanted
"pride and joy" exactly
raising her to be the shooting star everyone tried to imitate
she suddenly dulled
realizing that this type of star was not what she wanted to be
but what they ordered
trying hard
to change
but they kept her in the mold
and she could not escape.

-----------------

stuck where she wishes to burst out most
with a hunger to move on
to otherwordly places
waiting for her to take them by storm
and greater experiences
hoping to soon be called past
by the girl trapped in the mold
27

just showed interest
so you could get
close
enough
to push me aside
onto the ground
conquer my world
and make it yours
7

fooled me
tricked into thinking i was
the only rose
in your garden
of weeds
but you stopped
stepped
broke
me
dug me out of the soil
dried me of my emotions
replaced
me with a brighter
richer
more painful
rose
cycles

your voice smothers me like the air on a humid summer day
you take the pillow from beneath my head
your eyes pierce through me
neverending
you wake me hours before the alarm to tell me i kicked you in my sleep
so sorry
deparately wanting
aching for your love
you bury it inside
grasping for light
you smother
i gather my strength
say my last goodbye
tears fall on the pillow you once took from beneath me
crying for you
but more, crying for your love
my voice needs a partner
my love needs a recipient
my shoulder aches for your head
my body cries for your touch
the phone rings
shall we try it again?
it will be different
I love you.
my soul gives in once again
of course i will
I'm always here
the cycle begins once more
