Prototype (Outkast)

Allies in Anticipation

I was going to reach out to you.

But I didn’t want to overstep my boundaries..

Or make you upset.

Wanted to let you know

That I feel closer to you-

I share your pain.

I don’t know how you’ve been dealing

With this for so long-

That dreaded unrequited Love.

I feel what you feel.

And now I understand why you

Do the things that you do-

It’s all a distraction.

Trying to keep your mind off

Of the one person you want

But cannot have.

And sometimes in the process

We fall victim to bad decision making

[ I’m guilty of the same.]

Doing things we aren’t proud of

Just to forget about the hurt-

Even if only for a moment.

So, how do you do it?

How are you able to lead

A seemingly normal life ?

I feel as if pieces of me are

Missing and I do not know

If I’ll ever be whole again..

Is this the reason you go after

Unattainable people-

To be sure no real relationship will form?

Leaving yourself available for

The day when he chooses you..

Doesn’t seem like a satisfying life to live-

Waiting.

Although,

It looks like I may be joining you.

God damn this heart of mine.

And yours.

I Wanted to Write You a Nice Poem

I wanted to write you

A nice poem-

About fireworks and

The fourth of July..

I remember standing with you

In that field,

My arms around your waist

And you leaning back into me.

It was one of the happiest moments

I’ve ever shared with you.

We were totally connected..

Almost as if it were only

You and me out there and

Those fireworks were just for us.

A declaration of our Love-

For everyone to see

And for us to feel.

So, yeah..

I was gonna write you a

Nice,

Sweet poem

But then it happened-

The Fighting,

The Crying and

The Devastating Realization.

Although,

It kinda looks like you

Might have gotten

That nice poem anyway..

Please Don't Go (Mike Posner)

Keeping Everything Lovely, Like You

I’m attempting to do my work in vain-

All I can think of are your lips.

Small yet Soft and Sweet

And they fit perfectly with mine.

My lips,

Hungry for yours,

Did not want to let go.

They have missed each other.

I try to focus but

Can still smell the deliciousness of

Your hair as we embraced.

Thirty days since I’ve held

You in my arms-

The longest time we’ve spent apart

In nearly four years.

My arms long to be wrapped

Around your tiny waist once more.

“We shouldn’t be so familiar,” you said.

But I disagree.

We should be this close;

In fact we should be closer.

Today,

Tomorrow

And the day after that.

And the day after that.

And…

Well, you get the idea.

I’m not going anywhere.

I will be waiting for

The day when our

Lips

Hands

Arms

And

Hearts

Can be intertwined again.

Virtual Insanity (Jamiroquai)

Sleeping While Awake ?
My dreamland
Does not reflect
My reality.
Reality is what I see-
But what can I believe ?
[who's to say that this is real..]
Hard to distinguish between
Here and There.
The lines are beginning to
B l u r .

Gravity (Sara Bareilles)

Brynwood Gardens

I passed by our old place today-

The cozy one bedroom apartment

That we used to call home.

It was a bittersweet moment

That caused my heart to get

Caught in my throat..

I was doing pretty good.

Or at least I was getting better at pretending

Not to think much of you..

Or us.

But now I’m missing all of it-

I’m missing you again.
