Apathy Or Pain

Who was your first disconnect?
      Your mom? Your brother?

Your father after he passed away?

I did that you know,
     Pushed everyone away.

At 12 I learned that apathy, 
     feigned or real,
          was better than feeling pain.

Is he or am I to blame?

Distance and Remorse

I meant to kiss your scars 
And instead I've torn them raw
I became someone else 
Neither of us ever saw
You are so far away 
The only thing I want now
Is for you to be ok
I hurt you
And made you afraid 
How far from cuddling on my couch
We have strayed
I wish I could say 
I'm sorry
I wish to take your pain away
But all I can do is sit and think
You feel so far away

Losing Sleep

I love talking to you
Staying awake till my tongue turns blue 
Clinging on to every word you say
But things feel different 
When you're voice is away
Staying up after zero two
Watcha doin?
How are you?
Too awake to fall asleep at three
Don't be mad at her 
My problems belong to me

My Faults

I struggle with monogamy
Not due to lack of interest 
Or attracton
Certainly not lack of love

It's out of fear that I cheat
Because I expect it 
When you've learned to overanalyze 
you hear lies in every sigh

Any time spent apart turns to
A guilt filled question mark

I love you, with every part of my being
My heart 
My soul

But right now I'm too broken to be loved
I'm self conscious 
Questioning...

I swear I used to be emotionally mature
But I don't feel so now
I don't know if I'm ready

And it's not fair for me to ask
So I won't 

But I dream that you wait until I am

First Loss

I was starving
in the most middle class, American,
pre-teen way you could imagine.

We were headed to a restaurant 
Applebees I think
I was sitting behind the driver
My mother

A phone rang and someone answered it
I could hear panic on the other line

I could picture her saying the words
into her crimson samsung juke...
"Levi was in a car accident"

We took the next exit to head towards the hospital

Confusion

To this day I don't know if I was being sheltered
from the truth

Or if everyone was as lost as I was

Lost 

That's how I felt as I wondered
How sun kissed cheeks could look so pale

The cramped waiting room they shoved us in
Wasn't big enough for the words the Doctor spoke

"He's gone"

I sunk in my chair

I was somehow worried my actions would be deemed 
Inappropriate 
Uncouth

As if there was an improper way to mourn

How was I to know?

I had never lost anyone before.

Promises

I promise to be honest
I promise to speak the truth
I promise to stay faithful 
I promise I'll always love you
I promise to give you space when you need it
I promise to cuddle you when you don't 
I promise to say what's on my mind
Even when you won't 
I promise that I see beauty through your pain
I promise to hold your hand while you burn
I promise to kiss your scars
About which I care much to learn
Let me untie your knots
Let me gaze into your soul
Let's build a fire from this romance
Blow an ember into coals

Patience

I can wait a day
Or maybe even two
I'll still be here after a week or more
After a month I'll still love you
After a year girls will come and go
They'll keep me from feeling blue
But the last chapters of my life
Are written 
My heart will always stay true

Unspoken Words

"I love you" belongs in poems
"I love you" belongs in songs
There really is no need to say it
After I've held you all night long
I can see it in your eyes
When I bring you breakfast in bed
I can feel it in my heart
Trying not to cry after every goodbye we've said
A hand squeezed three times
Whatever it takes to show 
I really do love you
Even if my words don't let you know

Sunny Day Lover

I don't ony love you when you smile

I want to hold your hand if you cry

Even when I'm angry

It's next to you that I want to lie

I'll walk with you on rainy days

When everything is grey 

I'm not just a sunny day lover

Babe, I'm here to stay

Unexpected

I want nothing more
Than to share my words
With you
And now that you're silent
I guess I am too
