INVISIBLE

INVISIBLE

Intelligence tells you I am here,
Not your eyes, nor ears.
Very soon you will notice
I am not really here at all.
Sorry I am, for having
Invaded your life so deeply. I can
Barely keep the tears from falling -
Leave me alone.
Everyone knows, I am not really here.

CHAINED TO THIS FEELING

CHAINED TO THIS FEELING

Tender-hearted at best, when
Every word spoken rips the heart
And burns the Soul,
Rendering this once rich love
Simply dust.
Anyone else would run.
No one should stay,
Denying their own soul.
Sometimes, though, the best
Option is not available.
Running, requires energy.
Running, evokes a destination.
Only, my destination has always been
Where ever you are.
