Anybody but ME

Someone who knows how to act,
doesn't over-react,
and NEVER stumbles over, "Hi."

Someone who falls asleep fast,
doesn't relive the past,
no regret, in their chest,
at night


Someone who can walk tall,
like
it's nothing at all,
Someone who likes to be seen.

I just wanna be
Anybody...


Anybody but ME.

Yesterday

Sometimes when it's dark,
she'll say,
 "I had a vision,
of yesterday.
It was pleasant at first,
until the pain,
of remembering,
a Hero,
who couldn't stay.

There are no words,
to describe this ache,
which steals my voice,
and makes me shake.
I know too well,
just what's at stake.
My hero's heart
would surely break.
If he learned the truth,
eighteen years too late.

About the One he couldn't save,
and why she always runs away.
What she hides, and doesn't say,
would make him regret,
going away."

Then again the Hero,
is not the same.
As the One, she recalls,
from yesterday.
Maybe he'd look at the girl
and say,
"I don't care about your pain."
which would surely,
lacerate.
The girl's will to live,
and decimate,
Her treasured visions,

of  Yesterday.

Searching For Silver

I try to see,

The lining bleed,

Silver in the clouds.

But living shadows,

And raging storms,

Weigh me down,

Until I drown.

Even in the shallow end,

Of love I strain,

For breath because,

I’m bound.

Regret ties me down,
My screams make no sound.

Hope runs away

and once again,

I’m searching

For silver in the clouds.
