Am I

Not someone worth talking to?

Am I just always going to be the one who supports you but gets no support back.

Is there something wrong with me?

Or am I just someone everyone just gets tired of quickly?

Will, it ever be different for me or will this cycle be around forever?

Those are questions I can’t answer now

And well no one else seems to notice anymore that things aren’t the same or they never really cared.

I’m just a space-filler until someone better comes along.

Bringing just the right amount of entertainment that no one notices me walking out the door.

How do

I get closer without

Getting burned from the heat.

The heat that just keeps going up and up.

To walk outside is like getting to close to an open flame and not expecting it to burn you.

I’m not sure where this is going

But it all seems to die down and melt away like a flame on a candle when the WIC has finally run out.

Not much

To worry about today as I watch him jump in the puddles.

As if getting his jeans wet wasn’t a concern for him.

The freedom of getting so high with his jump and coming down was a thrill.

As the fun things in his life were a lot smaller than the list of things I had to get done were.

So getting dirty to have a moment of joy was worth it.

For he can always go home and throw them in the washing machine and call it a day.

With so much

Going on around me

And well hiding isn’t an option.

For I want to survive

Well being cautious and aware about what is going on around.

And I want to stand up and say something and not just hide behind a screen.

I want to work hard and feel like every step i take isn’t like me tip toeing around because I’m afraid to make the wrong move.

For I know the danger is not just in the streets but inside the buildings.

But to speak ones mind and to believe it will all work out.

Takes an higher power and I know no one can take him from me.

So with him I will survive dead or alive for my presents will not be forgotten about.

But for now I will survive alive and continue everything

And hope he will deliver no matter what the outcome for me will be.

For when he comes and paves the way there will be no human that can stop his victory.

You’ve always

Been my rock through these tough times.

Just one hug

Just one kiss

Just one look

And everything that seemed too much no longer matters.

For you know how to calm me down and when to get loud with me on the subject.

You listen and only once I’m done do you give me your opinion.

You try to be non-bias when I recap something for you.

For you always want to see the good in people and when it doesn’t work.

You drop the bullshit and move on.

Your always making sure everyone is good before you take care of yourself.

You will always be a part of my happiest moments.

For every begins and ends with you.

You are

the only one I can’t seem to shake

The only one I can’t see doing anything mean.

The one who does good and stays focus on the things that matter.

And maybe I’m not used to that because I’ve let myself get distracted by everything that is not right.

And now I don’t know what to do with you because I’ve never been in this situation before.

For your different and your full of light and the darkness isn’t something that seems to be gaining on you.

And lately I’ve felt so angry and well the darkness has swallowed me whole and thinking of you.

Has slowly but surely brought me out and today I will do better for me and you.

I usually

Don’t give in

But when I’m around you

I just can’t say no.

You suck me in with your sweet words

And in that moment I’m special and nothin bring me down.

You have a way with words that make me worry every time.

I want to pull away I just can’t and I truly see how you mean well.

But I’m suffocating from the attention that it’s driving me insane.

For there is always two meaning to what you say and you smile for you know just how to keep me hook.

I thought

I had it all together

Only fall float on my back.

Looking up at the sky and asking for help.

But not waiting around long enough to receive it.

So impatient sometimes but right now I give all you as I can’t carry it anymore.

I’m a fool to have tried to do it all on my own.

For it’s you I always run too, and it’s you I will always depend on.

For God I am I am falling with or without you but the fact that with you I will fall into your arms.

Without you, I will fall hard on the ground, and giving up will be so easy to do.

I lost

My hope that you would come back.

After the usual five days

And as day six comes around and soon ends.

I know that I must have lost my mind to deal with this.

It feels like a dream that goes on and on and then when I wake up.

I can’t go to back sleep because the dream seemed so real.

I felt every touch and heard every sound and feel of it all disappearing left me slightly empty.

As I close my eyes I try to go back

For I know in that dream my body finally got the sleep it needed.

And now awake all I can do is think of you and that just isn’t okay with me anymore.

Your light

shines brightly from with in you as you stand there in front of me.

Yes lately things have been overwhelming but your faith and strength has got you through it.

And no matter what has came or been thrown your way.

You allowed yourself a second to feel the frustration and then you prayed on it.

And soon that peace and calmness has washed over you leaving you with no worries.

For light has won the battle again, leaving the darkness scratching his head again.

Three Line Tales, Week 224

photo by Nick Fewings via Unsplash

something we think we have a lot of until we don’t

But, even though we know there is a end to our exist we sometimes don’t appreciate the time we have now or later because we feel we have all the time in the world to get things done.

To find ourselves and do the things that matter the most and only than do we wake up with the reality that we can’t do everything for time when we were strong enough and had the energy is gone.

I want to

Say I choose you always

But that would be a lie.

For I allow myself to get lost in things to avoid other things.

But it always catches up with me and so truly enjoying things are well not so much lately.

As my body betrays me and I lay awake trying everything to just fade back into a dream or into nothing.

But the minute I close my eyes they are opening again only to discover time has yet to move.

I want things to be a little different right now but it is what it is.

For I have no control over anything right now and I’m not sure how to feel about that.

I don’t

Artist: Unknown

Think you truly see me

With so much going on around me.

I wonder if I’m interesting enough for you

Or are there so much more beautiful things around that you don’t notice me right away.

But I’m here when your ready to look for me.

I will be the girl hiding behind the mountains we call life.

And hoping the waves don’t knock me off as I try to get my footing in this new challenge I’m facing now.

Oh how I wish I had all the answers before that door closes and you walk away before I can.

Who am

I to come after you.

The one who always smiles and spends her time well.

The one who keeps to herself and doesn’t just jump to conclusions.

Even when the outcome may be just like they said it would be.

Maybe giving them benefit of the doubt will bring them around to telling the truth.

Or let them be more comfortable to learn to you more.

Maybe I should have looked more into it before letting you walk through that door.

Hopelessly

in my feelings day after day.

As I sit here thinking about well everything but mostly about you.

Not that I know what to say to all that at this moment of time.

I know that I am running on empty right now as I sit here trying to deny what is going on right now as I feel slightly confused.

But, every time I receive something from you it brings a smile to my face and it really doesn’t matter what it is.

The smile appears and it doesn’t leave for every thought of you brings it back as if our time together is well timeless.
