Check

Standard

I go to the other room

And in the quiet corner I

Check to make sure my heart is

Still beating.

I get dizzy when I am overwhelmed and begin to think I might be dreaming or not real any more.

A heartbeat means I am real right?

Or maybe someone else needs to check it and tell me I am real because i could be tricking myself.

Sinking Ships

Standard

We were two sinking ships

Who could not quite

Reach each other in the squall.

Too

Overwhelmed and lost;

Arms too weakened to hold

Anyone but ourselves

Above the crashing waves.

Oh how I loved you.

And the crashing thunder

Roared pitilessly

Drowning out the sound

Of my breaking heart

As I,

Myself drowning,

Helplessly watched

You drift out of

Sight.

Instead

Standard

I dreamt a dream of times past;

Of you and I.

And I was overwhelmed with

Emotion.

I began to weep.

How can my heart be light yet heavy at once?

Thinking to capture you

I reach for pen and paper.

To write you down.

To read you forever.

But,

The ink had run dry.

To tired and weary to rise from my bed

I kept the memories

Lit inside me.

I placed my head on my pillow

And went back to dreaming instead .
