You

Poetry Challenge: 7 word story

Wait

Wrong

I know it's a lie but I want to be strong enough to let it go. Strong enough to stop wanting what I can't have. Strong enough to not care...but I do...

Little Heart

Pity

Time

Sometimes

Taste

Arguing With Myself

Watch Over

Watch over, from afar

You could be closer 

But it's just who you are

Hold onto the distance if you must

Even if I wish you could leave your heart to me, with trust

 

Keep watching, even if you can’t say

Though, I hope you will someday

I’m okay. 

So long as you stay

Please don't quit your watch

Even if you have found a more appropriate match 

I'd feel your eyes disappear 

creating a void I could not bear

We can pretend forever 

As long as this connection does not sever 

So watch over and know that I know

And that I promise to never let feelings show

Unless someday you ask

Until then I will wear the mask

Pretending to be blind

but knowing your eyes are never far behind.

If You Knew

If you knew

What I could do

What I would do

                   To you

My hands and my lips would tease you, please you, know you by memory...and worship every last inch of you, until you could take no more.

If you knew 

My body craves

My body needs

                       You too

There would be no going back once it had a taste. The hunger would be insatiable. It would have to have you constantly, wanting you anywhere and everywhere, pulling you into closets, locking doors, pushing you against walls, pulling you onto desks...flames would consume us every time.

But

You don't know...

                         Do you?

Words

Words without meaning, thoughts without words. Why must we fear what cannot be unsaid?

Longing, sweetness, and tiny lust. Not forever. Just now. Is it really so wrong? 

But words can't be spoken, so we may never know if the warmth would be worth the stakes. 

Always, always off limits. Why can't the trip ever be a reasonable destination?

Why the moon and not down the street? And now you've got gibberish. 

Words without meaning. Thoughts without words...

Leave it Behind

Write 'til it hurts

Cry, shake, ache, want be...

Be who you are.

Love yourself through your 

self loathing.

Don't die inside, 

by letting the zombies of the world, eat at your pride.

You are valuable.

No dollar can define you,

no lover can mangle you, 

and the lack of either, 

shall not drown you.

Sleep like a sloth,

think in a mess...

Then

Get up, "head up...get to the other side," (A Friend).

Keep safe,

and leave self hate,

behind!

Burn

Heat, searing beneath the skin, aching and burning alone with no fire.

You be flint and I'll be rock. Let's make a spark, build a fire and burn together...forever
