The Haunting

I worked so hard to push you away
To push you from my mind
But I find you creeping
Creeping back in

Lurking around
Lurking in my dreams
My dreams before deep sleep
My dreams before waking

Haunting me
Haunting me of what I felt
What I wanted
What I loved more than I realized

Touching me
Touching me in that special way
Your eyes dance with fire
Fire built by desire

Waking me
Waking me from the slumber
A slumber I brought on
And thought I needed to be rid of you

Feeling again
Feeling again what I worked so hard to lock away
Because you didn’t return the same love
Because you didn’t see me

Hurting again
Hurting because of all the emotions
I’m flooded with emotions
Swirling around me

Will I ever be free of you?
Will you ever see me as I saw you?
Will all of this old chaos settle my life?
Will you settle this all or light the flames higher?

Like a moth to a flame
The feelings so raw
Feeling so true
Feelings so rare

A flutter in my heart
Where hope still lives
Silly female wishes
Or where the truth really lies.

Reminiscing......

I was not a popular person in school.  I was more of a loner.  While I may have been true to me, I didn't have close friends, best friend who I could tell anything to.  I was not into the same things kids my age growing were.  I played sports, but in all honesty I was not the best.  Was I the best me while playing sports?  Sure!  Was I a star athlete, NO!  So then I had to have been brilliant, right?  No again.  I was the best me I could be.  Should I have applied myself more?  Sure, but I passed my classes with A's and B's which was good for me.  Then came college.  What an unexpected ordeal.  Not my favorite time in life at all.  Feeling lost and alone, I turned to people who I thought were friends, but not in a true sense.  Because I was out in the world unprepared, I followed like a sheep and almost flunked out of college.  We all make bad choices, but for me I wasn't sure I would live through ...

It's been so long

It has been so long Since you last sat with me Will you sit with me again And for how long will you stay? Twilight beckons as I stand on the porch The porch swing moves in the breeze Chirping of frogs heard in the distance Will you come sit with me? Watching the last rays of sun vanish The porch boards creaking under my feet Wrapped in the warmth of an old blanket Will you come sit with me? I can see your face as if it was yesterday The chiseled features of your face, The way the light danced in your dark eyes The way your hair curled in wild disarray Your hands so strong from a long hard day Yet soft when they touched my soul to the core The deep tone of your skin looking like it was kissed from the Sun Gods every day The curl of your lips when you were being mischievous. Your long strong arms to match the legs that went for miles and miles Looking upon you from my eyes always in a lazy haze That shown just what being with you does to me The lazy haze and longing look displayed on my...
