I miss you

It's an everyday occurrence

And easy to say

But it doesn't lessen the pain

I turn into

Waking moments without you

This is my existence

Missing you is part of my routine

[sanddollarpoems]

I find your secrets

Tucked away because

You struggle to tell me

Love was never

Something on the surface

But there's a well

That runs so deep

You hide it from me

But I catch glimpses

And every so often

You relax your guard

And let me wander free

[sanddollarpoems]

Nightmares

You make the nightmares fade

Sleep slips within my eyes

And I find myself

Drinking in the stars

You settle my pain

All the doubts crumble away

And I swim through the background

Of lost hopes

You make my nightmares fade

Like the soft morning light

I find myself holding onto

Every sound you make

I find myself unafraid

[sanddollarpoems]

Someday

Doing the same thing

Each day another day through

Another step in a direction

No closer to you

I wished on every star

I've waited patiently

But the bed is still cold

On the other side of me

I'll keep on waking and sleeping

Keep staying in one place

I just keep on praying

I'll find you here someday

[sanddollarpoems]

Dear Love

I'm catching my breath

Because I still can't believe

That you belong to me

Seems that even on the bad days

You always know what to do

How to get through to me

I've never felt this valued

I've never felt this heard

You're some kind of magic

And the way you make me laugh

When I'm swimming in tears

How you always find the light

You always bring the smiles

I'm catching my breath

And falling more in love with you

[sanddollarpoems]

Watching the way that change

Plays roughly with my face

Lines drawn around tired eyes

I'm half truth, half lies

I'll take the winter sunlight

Fading slowly into the night

And I'll pretend that I don't miss you

As golds bleed into blue

[sanddollarpoems]

It's Possible

It's very possible that I was scared

That the thought of loving again

Left me searching for an exit

It's very possible that I tried to fight it

That I made up reasons to be unavailable

That I tried to walk away, run away

I have a history of running away

You were just the first person

Who cared enough to chase me

[sanddollarpoems]

Gum

Can I wrap you up

Like chewed gum

Stuck back in the paper,

Carry you with me

In my pocket,

Get so comfortable

With your presence

That I forget

And send you through

The washer and dryer,

And end up with you

All over everything I own?
