Seeing you when I did not expect to
Is the best surprise of my day
Knowing you worried
Noticed my absence 
Cared.
Your smile lights up my day
Making you laugh is always a goal 
Seeing you watch me
Stare.
I crave every second and
Look forward to the next.
You dizzy me to distraction
Wanting the unattainable.
You’re so good
If you touch me I’ll ruin you
Corrupt you
Sully the purity I love.
How do I have you
Without destroying you?

Awake

I don’t sleep anymore
I can’t 
I try every fucking night
Instead I lay there 
Imaging things that will never be.
Your body against mine
Your hands on me
That the smile you give is just for me. 
I’m boring everyone 
I’m boring myself. 
If I tried I could get what I want
But it’s not worth the risk.
So I torture myself
Every sleepless night,
Every exhausted day
Dreaming of you
Awake and dreaming.

Stuck

Waist deep
In a thick heavy
Mud.
Tar.
If I struggle I exhaust myself
If I give up I’ll drown.
I’m frozen and I can’t breathe
The molasses oozes through
Every channel.
No breath I can take
I sink.

Unsaid

About a thousand
That’s the number
Maybe a million
Billions
Do I even know billions?
That’s the number. 
Words I wish I could say
Moments I want to touch you.
I have to settle for glances
Inferred meanings
Dreams.
Hope;
It breeds eternal misery.
