like fire

I've been on the straight and narrow
The road is winding again
I'm not who I want to be, but I am trying to be true
I reach for something
No one is there
No one can hear or feel me
I am too much to be contained within this body
Did I open the door which cannot be shut long ago?
Why do I care so much
When everyone else cares about nothing that matters
Exhausted from feelings, humans, desire
Am I human because I breathe?
Or is it merely because I need?
I long for more than just words to comfort
Star filled skies and moonlight take me under the wings of my unseen angel
You have kept me here on this earthly plane of existence to love?
I shall dance on the breeze of this warm spring night
my thoughts and dreams drifting toward him...he sleeps
I am left behind when I look back, and yet I am here
Who am I even?
Why do I feel my heart break into a thousand pieces over my self inflicted disillusionment.
Fully aware of my self torture...I step back and gaze upon the looking glass
to recognize and realize...I have changed and yet am still the same in so many ways
I love.. I desire..
my hearts runs wild and burns like fire

No one else can hear me

I could never go back
I have to protect me from myself
I don't know her sometimes
I've taken my life again and again
but I'm still here.
No one else can hear me
don't see anyone who feels me
I've chased them all away
because they can't understand
I speak the truth that they can't handle
it's lies that keep them together
I don't need them
I just want to be needed
Every time I get closer
You turn and walk away
I am surrounded and yet alone
If I did not have my light shining on me
I would run off into the darkness
