My Endless Thoughts

My endless thoughts
conjure up your face
thay bring to mind an image
I can't seem to replace
my endless thoughts
remind me of how I'm changing
I'm falling for you
and it's happening daily
it's rapidly proceeding
to a state I can't imagine
far from the place
I already fail to fathom
my endless thoughts
have no known destination
after all they are endless
and I show no desire
to replace them
they reside in me
but derive from you
so inside of me
alive, is you
you are the object of my desire
an object so true
you ignite the flames, that create the fire
which burns in me
my love you've acquired
unlike any other person I've ever admired
you are all I've got
whether you return this love or not
I don't see a stop
to my endless thoughts...

Whats To Mend

I'm in this world alone
locked in a cage
location unknown
everyone is against me
I can't resist fate
I still pretend to be
in this hell
I so vividly taste
Can't this be a dream?
An image in my mind?
Or is this reality
If I seek
Will I find?
It's there for me to grasp
Though I cannot touch it
I'm on top of it
Though I seem above it
Desperately, I reach for my existence
Searching for hope
or resistance
unable to find
what I'm looking for
I end up far behind
staring up from the floor
warm blood on my hands
is it mine?
or is it yours?
Confusion suffocates me
in circle I roam
Illusions penetrate me
deep in my bones
I cannot go on anymore
I've reached my end
Unaware of what's in store
Still unaware
of what's to mend...
