Dancing in the living room

Blue lights beaming around

Joyous music singing

Steps flowing with no sound

The music turns

Our minds to gold

Our bodies to waves

Distracting from the-

Chaos

In the world around

This lively living room

This moment in time seems to

Live as if eternal

Then suddenly

Its over....

I don’t know if I’ll enjoy this

It could be

boring

tiring

lame

“It will be what you make of it”

You get to decide

Will it be a bad day or on the sunny side?

Every day remember

No matter what you’ll do

That how your day goes

Is really up to you...

Happiness seems to be the goal but

How am I supposed to get there?

Having a crisis of identity

Has me questioning reality

Home has never been here

Here has never been mine

Hours. Months. Years of confusion.

Hopefully one day I’ll find who I really am...

He said

You’re everything to me

I love you

I searched my heart

For the same words

But they weren’t there

Not for him

Not for anyone

Would they ever arise?

I haven’t known love

Love hasn’t known me

Perhaps that way it will remain

For all eternity...

He said

You’re everything to me

I love you

I searched my heart

For the same words

But they weren’t there

Not for him

Not for anyone

Would they ever arise?

I haven’t known love

Love hasn’t known me

Perhaps that way it will remain

For all eternity...

He said

You’re everything to me

I love you

I searched my heart

For the same words

But they weren’t there

Not for him

Not for anyone

Would they ever arise?

I haven’t known love

Love hasn’t known me

Perhaps that way it will remain

For all eternity...

What should I do?

Where should I go?

Who should I meet?

There are swarms of questions

Drowning me

I have no answers

Beneath my feet

To earn a breath of air

I run through mazes

Long empty hallways

Dark circular rooms

The echo does not give

A single response

So instead I answer with a question

Does any of this really matter?...

Out of the dark sky

It gradually emerges

Crossing the horizon

As time continues forward

A blanket of warmth forms

Surrounding my soul

The prickling burn on my skin

Fills my heart with passion

Drawing me in for hours

Until it sets below the trees

Behind the mountains

Under the sea

All that is left

Is a faint memory

Of the light between you and me...

Laughter echoed about the room

I turn to find the attacking eyes

Then quickly bow my head

Were they laughing at me?

I’d assume they were

What for?

Oh, I’m not sure

They could laugh at any of me

My shoes

My face

My hands

Or all

I’m a joke

Why wouldn’t they laugh?

As I meet those eyes again

They don’t notice me

It seems that after all

The laughter was never of me—

But of joy

Friend...

After years of pain

destruction

conditional love

Nothing to live for

Time without purpose

You showed me

There is plenty to live for

From the dew on the grass

To the rain in the sky

To the curiosity of music

To the smile of someone I love

Love

You taught me

Is unconditional when true

You don’t expect anything more from me

And I don’t expect more from you

Just as we are is exactly all we ...
