Quiet Sadness

I know you see
The pain in my eyes,
I can't tell you
What makes me cry.
You would understand but...
Think I don't see your side.

In matters of the heart
We're on a different level.
You can't fall in love
When your heart's still broken.

My feelings lay beneath the surface
I don't want to scare you away.
I savor what is right now
And try not to wait and expect
Something that may never be.

Zombified

So Numb
I'm inundated.
Forsaken heart,
Time after time.

Tears
Beneath the surface
Remain frozen,
Crystalized.

Off in the distance
Descries oblivion beyond.
Silence consumes me
I'm catatonic.

Longing to drift away
In solitude.
Wrapped in silence,
Lost

Metamorphosis

Stumble out of bed
Rub my eyes...
This life is
So Mundane.

Craving for change
A shift to erase
A timeless episode,
The rerun seen so often.

Life's perplexing ways
Will feed the craving;
A challenge from
The soul.

Knowledge from within
The journey will begin.
Change is inevitable
The comfort zone
is fading.
