Burn

I melt for you, in the hot sun,
My bones burning as quickly
As my heart.
An unspoken fantasy
As I silently stand
Alone and fall~
Fall away from the one
I never knew to begin with.
The blisters begin to burn.

As she stares
And she waits
I see her hate
It radiates
(Though the room).
See her stares
As she glares
The shimmer of her hair,
As she sits in her chair
(And looks at me).
And she says she hates me,
Someone she'd like to be
But I could never see
It the way that she
(Does).

If he stopped,
And told me to believe him,
I would
     take his hand
In a
     half-fraction of a heartbeat,
And trust him;
Put my trust in
Him like I never have before.
Because in my head,
     he is the one who can
Take me
Everywhere I've ever
Wanted to go.

To You

After he was done,
I put my smile back on
Like I always had done.
I pulled up my chin,
Put away my tears,
And realized it was his bithday.
So the reason was legible.
I pulled back my brown hair,
Turned on the TV,
And threw my heart back on the floor
(So he could step on in once more).
Then I pushed my feelings aside
Where they all belonged.
It was him afterall:
The one who felt so much for me
(As he always said...)
I don't know; maybe he just wanted
To get somewhere
Get something
Get with someone (me at the moment).
Hey it felt good to know that
Someone needed me,
Even if it wasn't for the right reasons.
Because after I had lost everything
I came to realize I had nothing left.
I was empty-and he filled the void.

Empty

An empty cardboard box
Sits alone, in an empty old warehouse
And waits to be taken
And filled with all the goodness
It could want.
A void so existant
That you can see it with your eyes.
