Who do you see?

Who is this person you talk of?
Who is this person you see?
I don't think I have ever met her,
I am certain she can't be me.

You talk of things that aren't there,
You talk of things I can't see.
You must be seeing someone different.
I'm sure that she can't be me.

You say you like this and like that,
But I don't understand what you see.
You describe a nice looking body,
Which cannot belong to me.

You seem to connect me and her,
As if its me you see,
But you must be looking elsewhere.
You sure as hell aren't describing me!

Confusion Again

Confusion spirals on its journey through my mind
Encouraged by the nice things you say
Which make everything seem off centre

Confusion mounts as my heart desires to believe you
But my reflection says it can't be true
And the real truth eludes me

Confusion surges when your words are repeated by others
And yet I remain alone and unloved
Nothing seems to fit together

Confusion echoes through every corner of my mind
As I don't know who I am or what to believe
And I am scared of letting it go

I wish someone would level with me
Tell me the actual truth
Without fear of my response
Without fear of hurting my feelings
But just so that
Once and for all
I would know
And finally understnad
And escape
Confusion

Hope and Hopelessness

He is on the periphory
Always on the lookoutfor a way in
Looking for something to pick on
Something he can cling on to
And when he doesIts like he is glued there
He cannot be shaken off
And when finally his rival creeps in
She somehow loosens his grip
And pushes him back to the periphory
But her grip is not quite so strong
Wearied by the battle
Tossed and turned
And easily dragged away
And he latches on to the gap she has left
And he holds on and holds on
And its a long time before we see her again
She finds it hard to get back
She is afraid of falling off again
And every time she falls
Its a little harder to come back
And I miss her
And I hate him
Her name: Hope
His name: Hoplessness

A Heart's Cry

I stare at this blank page,
And wonder what I can say,
To express this sadness I feel,
But the words have all gone away.

I don't know what to do,
Nothing seems possible now,
I've tried and failed too much,
My mind's become tired of the row.

I know the right choices to make,
But the battle is always there,
I have no more fight left in me,
Its all I can do not to swear.

LEAVE ME ALONE.
I HATE YOU.

Mia

She blew out the candle and made herself boss
She removed the light and I'm feeling the loss
She messed up the image, turned it to moss
Now all is darkness

The candle smoulders, has hope returned?
It flickers a while, my stomach churns
But the flicker dies out and hope is spurned
Now all is darkness again.

Help

Help.
I don't know where to go
Its too much for me now
I'm at an all time low

There's nothing left to say
I don't know when or how
I can't see my way
Help.

Tired

These last few days Lord have been so hard.
I'm in a pit and my body is scarred.
My mind's in chaos, my life's a mess,
There's stuff inside that I just can't express.

I don't know what to do Lord, what to say.
How has my life turned out this way?
What's left to do Lord? Where do I turn?
I think of you and my stomach starts to churn.

I'm all out of hope Lord, there's nothing left.
I'm all out of fight. I'm tired and bereft.
I need you right now Lord to help me to stand,
And to let me stay here Lord, in the palm of your hand.
