Kilig

My heart is reaching for you
While my mind is putting up its roadblock
It may startle me, or it may not
If on my soul you did knock

Scared you are really mine
Just feels silly that I would deserve
Hard to wrap my head around
How you wrap around my every nerve

It's scary how one could feel your presence
Days before you even show
I see a stranger im in love with
While your eyes say…
all about me you already know

While I feel a longing for your touch
I am confused, I am terrified
What if you end up being just a live dream
And to my own existence I have lied

Doesn't seem real, you being here
Yet I know it's this way or nothing
I want it this strong or to just remain alone
Yet now I can feel our lives already blending

Did God cheat you out of how wonderful you could be
By placing you to be in love with a kalopsia like me?
I feel so cheap, then I feel so ataraxia about myself
It would be mild to say whats between us is a kilig

But for you I’ll stay…its so simple…i see no other way.

Soul's Loophole 3

I just want to go home
Yet i know, for now, i belong here
Just at Peace with missing my real Peace
I’ll just have more Grace with myself
Try to have less to do
For this life is tiring
Just the drain from the distance from you
Emotionally anemic, mentally bulimic
Always searching for whats just true

I just want to stop hiding
But i dont want to deal with peoples reaction
Not from fear, from being tired
Tired of the same cliche human 
I try to make the most of it all
While im constantly sensing ‘so…this is it’

Be much more interesting with you here
And i dont know why we cant meet in the middle
For some reason you never made me wired
To figure out that riddle

And i know you love me
I know you do
But you have to understand
This reality says ill never ‘see’ you

You made me forget
To avoid how hard it’d be
But you cant erase the whole heart
For the soul lives inside of it
And the soul always lives on
I will hang on
I just wish i knew for how long

Just one stronger dose of a memory.
Let that come to me.
Havent i earned it way over here?
Let a smile be truly due to you
And not just in my mind
What you would do

I dont care if i am crazy
As long as i am not like them
Why am i near them?
One conversation with me
A loop hole somewhere…
I know whats connecting us will always care.

Soul's Loophole 2

I just wish i could hear your voice
I wish i knew on what you’d now be making a choice
To be a part of your conversation
That would last me a lifetime
Its scary how much you mean to me…
In my fantasy
Like the emotions are even past Heaven
And the only time we’ve been apart
Is getting through those biblical layers of seven 

You understand every word
Patience like no other
Presence never wavering
For a soul like mine, the ultimate shelter

I feel like i need to forgive you for something
Maybe thats why forgiving people while im here is so annoying
Because all i really want to focus on
Is fixing whats wrong between me and you
Somehow even in my fantasy…
That feels so true

I dont fit in here
Why am i here
Why am i placed where i have no where else to go?
Somehow i feel like meeting you
Will answer every single question, ill finally know

My moods are back to so all over the place
Back to highschool days, my crazy phase
And i’ve come too far for this to happen
And i dont know how to make it stop
My kids deserve a more normal mother
Yet they still look at me with such delight
For how will they look at me, truly, when they are older?
Its quite a motherhood fright.

While I Look Up

No change has come quicker
Made me forget i had a tongue
While you stared me down
And i stared you up

Tall and dark and handsome…they say
How shallow a definition next to you
You looked at me “that” way instantly
As if on perfect souls cue

A never failing love no matter what i do
A never failing set of shoulders to lean on
With even frowns that send my way a heat wave
Knowing If it meant saving you, I’d lay in the deepest grave

Their crazy is our normal
Yet you understood I was not prepared
And at the same time…
Wasn't fool enough to think me scared

You fed my courage, filled my strength
You held onto me as if we were never separate
All the wrong doors that were opened for me…
You knew to instantly slam shut

Those eyes…the world is gone
Those eyes…my vocabulary an instant delete
And in those eyes…
I am far beyond complete

Knowing where you go I follow
Knowing where I go, you protect
Always there, and forever here
Surrounding me even when from afar

If its a scar from you
It's worth every second I’d bleed
If it's an ocean I have to cross
My courage will never be at a loss

You make me feel finally…completely fine
So many others have just judged so falsely
For the me, who I see inside my mind
For you to see, I never once had to plea

The world was full of bluff
And you never cared for that stuff
A whole man lives a whole life
My subconscious already knew i was your wife

And here we are…so many years apart
Lifetimes we have forgotten, memories faded
And here we are…never to part again
Everything we’ve missed out on…no matter
Our realities together again now, we will catch up
Never again having to let go of you looking down at me
Those eyes…
While I look up.

Caught In the Middle

The best of us don't make sense
And it's hard to show all the corners of us
But there is no one to blame but our nature
When what's inside we are supposed to nurture

And it's a case of good vs bad
For some, evil vs the taste of the devil
For that fool likes it more than sour
He make a minute of fear feel like an hour

The best of us see what many others don't
The best of us go through things we can't explain
And the best way to handle what others consider “crazy”
Is to just stay sane. So damn sane. 

He may seem so strong, she may seem so soft
Yet it's the talkers just trying to find themselves…
Through words
Yet it's the weak ones who choose to cave in early…
As if suicide doesnt take strength. 

And no matter what we go through
Some part of us always stays the same
Some part of us just wants to lay down and rest
While the world wants to continue on with its game

And you don't have to tell a soul
How you really feel about anything
And you don't have to let anyone help you
Even God waits for you to ask
Its called free will, and in it you should bask

And you can change all you want
But you can't replace your womb-given soul
Us women, we literally grow a soul in our core
Only a fool afterwards would strive to do more

And i get sick of being here
Yet i know i have been put someplace safe
Still…yet still…while my heart can calm down between these walls
Something else in my mind just continues, to me, call

And i try to listen
It's just so distant
And don't know how to meet it halfway
For some reason, it also wants me to stay

Whatever or whoever it is
They have all the patience of the worlds entire existence
To let me be still and caught in the middle
They let me feel completely excused
From a place where i was probably abused
They led me to “here”, where I can be left alone
Yet i fear, i deeply miss them…right to the bone

Even though it's like a distant dream
For it i just want to scream
So i just lay here, close my eyes
And keep it in my dream…

That’ll have to do
Since you won't let me come to you
Giving me a long life
In exchange for what, i don't know
But thats whats protecting me
The mystery
In some way…this is all for me

Soul's Loophole 1

Dont take it for granted
Those skills you’ve been holding
Those gifts he keeps watching and waiting…
For you to use
Knowing with Him within Faith inside of you…
You wont lose. 

Its okay to take a break from taking steps
Its okay to focus on being still and slowing down
Its okay to have more off days than good
Less smiles, more frown

No one gets the chance to be you
Everyone is stressed over feeling empty now
If only they knew…
What you let me be born with
If only they had your Peace closer…
I truly wonder if thats what it’d take
For me to have more friends
Because i feel like everyone is empty
And they try to steal what they sense in me
Like a slave behind a gate
Eyeing free little me

I just wish i could hear your voice
I wish i knew on what you’d now be making a choice
To be a part of your conversation
That would last me a lifetime
Its scary how much you mean to me…
In my fantasy
Like the emotions are even past Heaven
And the only time we’ve been apart
Is getting through those biblical layers of seven
