Things fall apart.

No leaves move,
Beyond the gust,
I am puzzled,
At the emotion-less lust.

After months,
I realized one thing,
The numbness,
It would never go away.

Dry and cold,
Winter's pinnacle,
It was a lifetime,
Of no emotions.

A tempting choice,
Quickly dried out,
Irony at its best,
A happy place,
Which was not right.

How could I read,
The mixed signals,
How could I go past,
An unchanged expression.

Yell at me,
Scream at me,
I beg you please,
Let me feel
that you are real.

A history has closed you,
It has taken your life,
You are a loving teddy bear,
A small child's addiction,
For a few months in time.

But in truth,
You are purely potential,
A hopeful sight in the future,
An icy smile in the present,
A truly constant past.

I ask no more,
As I forget my teddy bear,
And remind myself, that today,
You are nothing.
With hope that tomorrow,
You will be something.

The light came through, Your peaceful smile, in truth. The surreal was still at bay But I did not know what my words would convey. I heard the silence pedal, I spent the days winning medals Hoping to protect my heart By covering it with metal. I'm trying to explain these walls, The shields and simple fears, I hope they don't reflect you away, But I do not know if you can stay. I buried myself deep within Behind this thick armor My wounds had frozen As I lay there, I burned the roses. A little heat was a sweet reminder Of my burnt past The loving pleasure and pain I ran from what would always remain. So when I glanced at you in disbelief, It was hard to mutter past my walls, But you saw past them with your own, By admitting what I had never known. The vulnerabilities we touch Let us know we are loved They acknowledge our shame And let us play our game With a silly smile, I finally got the courage I finally had the nerve, To yell past my wall...
