broken reflection

every time my phone chimes i secretly wish it is you
i lie awake at night wishing your arms were around me too
why can't i just walk away?
why won't these feelings fade?
hearing your voice brought me to tears again
i still am in denial of us coming to an end
lying to myself i pretend that we can be friends
why wasn't my love enough for you?
why is my heart so confused?
no one understands the pull you have on me
it's like a magnet that no one can see
you sucked me in with all your finesse
and then left me in a broken hearted mess
when will i learn that you won't ever be mine...
when the time has passed and my heart isn't blind?

camouflaged

trust is embedded in broken promises, deceit, lies and false alibis

mistrust is clouded with love, lust and happy endings

everything is a twisted paradox that is never what it seems

black and white is always a shaded gray and just when you've got it figured out
things begin to change

open house

you hold the key to this safe house of mine
one that is decorated to a hearts content
warm, red, slightly acidic like wine
unlock the mystery that lies within

inside the room my walls remain quiet
the dust softly settles, it's been a while
it took you forever to come and find it
the story of us and how it unravels...

sea shells spill over the counter
as sand sediment fills between your toes
and memories begin to make you wonder
when did you first begin to fall?

fast into a splendid spiral
farther down into a happy oblivion
delighted with a sappy smile
this is somewhere you always want to be
