Only human- part 2

“You can tell me,” I whisper to the wind.

“It’s worthless now,” I almost hear, whistled through the trees. 

I can’t, I won’t 

I’m done, and I feel too alone to accept it. 

All I have is myself, and I’m not listening.

Drowning in my own thoughts, 

A pool of notes to self and notes to songs. 

Songs I never wrote, 

Songs that let me relive again,

The feeling of hiding from the girls on the street. 

The girls that once were part of me,

They’re so far away now, their presence disappeared.

It’s hard to respect them now, they forgot how to respect me.

Young but not so innocent; they treated me like I wasn’t human,

But where are they now, and do they have an ounce of care,

For an old friend years later?

    what do you do when you cross the sea without me? 

    on this warm night, I stand outside in the blue dark. 

    I wear a bathrobe over my pajamas 

    and old crocs that are faded purple 

  • pearls

    it's almost night on the Tyrrhenian Sea 

    homes glow like stars on the cliffside 

    and waves of green lap against the side of the boat 

     

    there is a storm approaching, 

  • eyes of a stranger

    there is something about those eyes that kept me chained to this love

    for they seemed to be the first that I couldn't see right through

    as if rather than a window to your soul

    they were a wall.
