Deceitful Feelings

I can hear you calling 
Calling for someone 
Calling for me 
I can’t see you 
Through the thick fog 
That is my love for you 
I can only hear you 
I’m so close I can almost taste you 
You’re only a few steps away 
I know it 
I reach for you 
Are you reaching for me? 
Reach for my hand 
And grab on tight 
Don’t let go 
You pull me towards you 
Envelop me in your arms 
I feel your heartbeat 
I feel your warmth 
I look up into your face 
Into your eyes 
You look down 
A smile on your face 
Your eyes meet mine 
Your smile fades 
They are no longer bright and longing 
But filled with confusion and hurt 
Confused because I’m not the person 
You thought I was 
Hurt because you know 
Of the hurt you are causing me 
I start to back away 
Realizing the mistake we have both made 
The smoke has cleared 
I see it so clearly now 
You say you’re sorry 
But you are only sorry for you 
Not for me 
I’m sorry for you 
For the love I had for you 
The love that you just threw back 
It seems so unfair 
You throw me 
Heart, soul, and body 
To the sharks below 
Yet I would have thrown myself 
In order to save you

Hear Love

Can you hear it?
Are you listening?
My soul is open
Like a wound
My thoughts and fears
Flow like crimson liquid
Yet you turn away

Can you hear it?
Are you listening?
My aching heart
Lies in this conversation
Between two humans
But only one person hears it
With every word
My heart beats louder
Yet you turn away

Can you hear it?
Are you listening?
My teardrops hit
The hardwood floor
Like shattered glass
The sound…spine tingling
Yet you don’t even blink

Can you hear it?
Are you listening?
My love is screaming
For you
Yet I’m alone in this feeling

You can feel my love
But can you hear it?
