What if it's all just in my head?

What if I'm completely off the mark?

If
What if I make a fool of myself?

What if I'm totally wrong?

What if I'm a complete jackass?
What

What if I messed it all up?

It's Simple
It's simple really
Somehow
Some way
You manage
To make my heart smile
Even if you aren't around
Even when you're away
It's strange really
Because sometimes all I have to do
Is think of the last time
The last conversation
The last time I saw
You
And
It makes my day brighter
Makes me forget my troubles
Makes me remember
Reminds me of you
It makes my heart smile
And, eventually

My Funeral Ritual
Like a thousand
Bright
Red
Burning Chinese lanterns
Set free in the water
I let you go.
Like the
Deceased
Like the ones who can
Never return.
I didn't cry.
Couldn't
How can you cry
When it's you that's died?
I let go of you
Like sand to the hurricane,
Tiny particles
Become part of the gusty wind.
Scatter
Like my dreams.

When Words Aren't Enough
I don't know what to say...
I know,
When does that ever happen,
Right?
But,
You've left me speechless
And,
I don't know what to say.
Sometimes,
There is nothing
To
Say
Because
Words can't convey
Can't soothe
Don't help
Aren't enough.
There are those times
When
Silence

Alone With a Ghost
Sometimes,
It's just me and my reflection,
We sit and talk
Just the two of us..
Me with blood pumping in every vein
A heart that beats..
Her, with no life in her
Yet,
She sits across from me
I'm always the first to speak
She mimics what I have to say
I'm not sure if it's in agreement
Or
Because she has no choice..
After all,
She wouldn't exist
If it weren't for me...
She is devoid of emotion
She feels nothing..
Until I cry

I Miss You
I
Miss
You.
So easy to say, these three little words
Yet, so complicated.
If I utter them, they leave me vulnerable
Exposed..
I
Miss
You.
It's true, but maybe better you don't know
Just
How
Much
I miss you.
The utterance of this simple statement
Changes things.
Makes it real..
Scares me.
But, it doesn't change the fact

The Things You Say
Words
Said in a careless huff as you walked away
Hurt
Words
Said in a whispered excited voice
Caused electricity in me
Words
Said in a caring loving way
Were a balm for the wound in me
Words
Said in an angry menacing way
Felt like daggers thrown at me
Words
Said like sugary sweet morning due
Caused my knees to go weak
Words
Words, Words, Words..
Your words have so much power over me
Words
Said like a magic spell

Blowing on a Dandelion
I blew...
The dandelion fluttered
Then
broke...
Particles hovered
In the air around me
Floated off in directions
I could only dream of traveling to.
Perhaps one of them will land near you,
In your backyard
And plant itself there
And grow.
Like my love did for you
Then one day, you may see it
And decide
To make a wish.
I forgot to..
I just set it free.
Will you blow a whisper of wind
Gently set the tiny seeds free...

Is It YOU
Is it you..
You who is the you that I know you to be
If it is you
Have you been trying to communicate
Your you...ness to me
I know I've asked
In the past
And maybe
You think I can
Clearly see
The you in the you..ness
But
It hasn't been apparent to me
Sometimes I think there is a you..ness in the you
But other times
I second and third and a hundred second guess
And I get lost in the guessing
Think about the probability
I take a step back from the you
That I thought I could see

I Don't Remember
Remind me again,
Why I loved you?
Remind me again,
Why it didn't work out?
Remind me again
How you left me
Broken
and searching for love all over again...
Let me remind you
Of what you lost
You walked away
You made the mistake
You're sorry..
I'm sorry
I don't care
You're sorry
I'm seeing better days
You're sorry
You left me
Broken
