It’s not the quiet that’s killing me, it’s not knowing what you’re thinking.
I’ll hold my own thoughts for the time being.
Lost a firm grasp now I’m barely clinging to what’s left of what I would have said
If you hadn’t left me on misread, we’d be together instead of pretending we’re impervious
Like we’re prepared for this kind of impermanence.
Almost but not quite, entirely unlike me to leave.
At most out of spite inspired by pre-emptive worrying.
Instead it’s everything in due time, when it’s time you can have mine.
I’m here to be an ear, to help you unwind.
Don’t undermine love unrefined.
Your efforts are not in vein, I believe in your pain
Doubt only remains when we try to compare gain
change so sincere we forget from where we came

One Piece

I could talk the same way to someone else who feels the same way
It wouldn’t be the words I say, the plans we made or didn’t make
That make the difference here because this is different.
It’s how we take all day to make sure we both have intentions to say
what we mean to say.
It’s how you nestle in slower and yet closer, taking over any fear of severance.
Keep in mind I need you in one piece
Don’t rush, observe and conserve
Your lush preserved in tender nerves
Take your time getting super comfy
Patience and anticipation could make all the difference in how we proceed
Relations with no obligations, built through persistence reimagines what we believe.
Sometimes when it feels right, it is right despite past slights that still haunt me.
So ask me to weed out these inconsistencies in my innate tendencies.
Try to get some sleep.
Tomorrow is waiting for you and me.
If daylight doesn’t bring you healing
I’ll prolong the evening, honestly whatever you’re feeling.
I could lay here for an eternity,
Just you, your dog, and me.
Grass bed and blue-sky ceiling,
No phones no social briefings.
Be here simply being beings.

The Real

Believe in true love, love. Believe in sharing that same love with other people
Believe other people see you how I see you
I feel like I see you, like the real you, the real.
At the end of the day, I’m still me
Through the dead of night, you still me.
We all need these forms of intimacy
through shared transparency.
I learn something new from you everyday,
Somethings uncomfortable but still so valuable.
Your perspective challenges all skeptic dismay,
I’m appreciating how we all love in new ways.
Although I find love in my main arteries,
I learn the flow from other bodies.
It flows through my memory like beautiful melodies,
Synergies kind of like symphonies.

Weary

What causes this stagnancy? A lack of air left for me to breathe.
I found comfort in ambiguity while you settle for bad company.
What if you lose interest or catch me counting down the minutes?
I flipped compliments to avoid arguments and discussions I doubt we’d finish.
Conversations we couldn’t have in English.
Impressions revisited often times resurface with new purpose.
Talk with your eyes like there’s nothing to be said.
Maybe it’s all in my head, this is how you empathize.
Is this how I say goodbye? Constantly checking the time.
There’s things I’d rather say instead, things I need to vocalize
I think I’ve been thinking way more than living lately
It’s affecting how I’m connecting with people close to me.
Took years to change my attitude, took tears to change my point of view.
Took from me a willingness to pursue friends that speak in half truths.
I tend to see my tendencies as excused to be elusive
Practicing transparency through keeping my emotions lucid.
