Still you're here-
The clock struck 11:21 a.m. on 2003-09-02

She quiets down my busy mind
When I feel troubled
From the dreams that haunt me
Breaking down my outer walls
I built over time
That exterior foundation
The keystone beginning of my survival
Where I used to feel safe
From pain and heartache
Trying to find a hiding place
From being lost in the crowd
That one voice... one sound
That One single sting...
Of my inner fears
That developed into my demise
Please be near me to the end
Open my heart
And let my spirit see past the relativity
Of my own private personal hell
Say you're still here,
Right beside me
Open my mind
Translate my thoughts to meaning
Instead of limmericks and verses
My nursery ryhme of assonace
Draw closer to my open wings of passion
My misplaced support of poetry
Experience the tingle of shivers
That occupies my mind with episodes
Of silence that turns into tremors of absent contravention
Becoming my emotions
That washes over me in tides of misapprehension
That breathes upon me
As I feel her touch in the gentle wind
Caressing my lips at night
Sometimes I find it's easy to be myself
Then I find it's easier to be someone else
How we have been standing
For a long, long time
Open my mind and let me out
There's just so much to say

Before Won't After
