Mind and Spirit

In mind body and spirit I feel you
Physically, your presence makes me weak
All the strength I hold so dear fades away
The thick skin I've grown peels away before you
My mind can't handle it
All it wants to do is push you away 
It knows that the love I have transcends all logic, all reason
I know better, but I don't want to 
I don't want this to make sense
Knowing the end to every story and the punch line to each joke bores me 
You shock me
You surprise me
My spirit never knew of its incompletion 
Ignorant to what was missing
Until you completed it
Its as if our souls parted at birth
Always longing to be back together
Soul mates???
You make this theory into fact 
Finding you and seeing your soul was like finding a new color
Like feeling a feel that is so rare there is no word describing it
Pure ecstasy

Heart

To love, to hold, to feel, to breathe, to live.......you
Thoughts so natural, but too dangerous to reach for
To be called baby a dream so sweet, but awoken by a reality so bitter
You can not be mine
I won't allow you to get that close
Even if my very being tells me yes
I know much better than to let you in 
My mind holds this truth, but my heart wants to live the lie

To Love, To Hold

To love and be loved by you, all I ever wanted
To hear you say I love you all I need
To be your first thought at dawn and your last at dusk is my truest desire
To be your most cherished hello and your most dreaded goodbye
A love like the one I crave burns like the hottest day 
Anything less only gives me a lukewarm sensation
To hold you, my most treasured daydream
To comfort you at your worst and embrace you at your best
The warmth brought on by your strong embrace a sensation I hold most sacred 
To be entwined within your arms is a form of bliss like no other

Worth It

Why was i not worth it.
Why wasn't I worth your time
Why wasn't i worth your attention
Why wasn't I worth half what I gave you

I don't get it
I tried so hard to forget
I tried to erase you 
But all that did was make your mark on me worse
I tried to forget
The love I gave
The bond we made 
Every little moment I once cherished so much
I tried.
But I'm not sure if I want you or if I want answers 
Why.wasnt.I.worth it
I was there whenever you called
Without stall, would never let you fall,
I was there
I was there when they said you shouldn't
And you thought you couldn't 
I was there....
When you couldn't bear it all
And all your problems stood ten feet tall 
I was the one who brought them down to size
So how am i so disposable.
How can you take me and break me and say it was my fault
You could've tried 
I walked away because i had to 
The worst part is
You didnt even try to make me stay so
A part of me wanted you to stop me
I wanted you to make it all ok 
You can say it was begging for attention 
But shit I think i deserve it
If only you thought the same

Special

Why do you get to be so special
You stand out
You give me feelings i never asked to have
Every second away from you feels wasted
I bend to your every will
No one else does this
No one else does what you do 
If you were anyone else I wouldn't care
But you're you, and for some reason 
That makes all the difference
