Through a distorted lens I look
As tiredness pushes through
I look around this empty room
And all is visions of you

You’re in my thoughts all day and night
I can’t escape these emotions strong
I don’t know how I even breathe
But this feeling I do prolong

My thoughts of you do time embrace
My humble life is much too short
Spending waking moments with you
Will always these feelings support

Do we have a connection?
Or is it mirrors and smoke?
Do you also feel it tug?
Oh what does this path provoke?

I dig so deep inside me
That at times I want to scream
Do you feel the same as I
Or should I dare to dream?

We play at the edges
Of thoughts unspoken
The ideas in our minds
Words become broken

Emotions we show
Though not in our words
Our thoughts are betrayed
By the things we’ve heard

Needing to open
Our minds seek solace
In security
Love becomes flawless

Do you wish to know my mind?
The deep dark places within
In nooks insecurity abounds
Does nothing to soothe the din

Open to you do try to be
Insecurity holds me back
Faith in this situation
That is the anchor I lack

Never before felt burdens
To open myself so complete
To one who already knows
The mind inside me concrete

Together we must be
Lest my mind go insane
This start and stop in plans
Causes to me such pain

I hurt deep down inside
Only you will I let see
Bitter disappointment
Welling inside of me

Disappointments inbound
Outbound ire becomes real
Moodiness rises higher
Only you do that repeal

Make an effort we must
To try to see this though
So finally my heart
Can feel complete with you

Look forward to being with you
To have my hopes dashed yet again
I try to determine the reason
But, dear, just where do I begin?

Thoughts that are going through my mind
Of things that may or may not be
Where does this wayward train stop?
Can anyone really help me see?

Irritation and anger caused
By circumstances past control
If only I could be around you
Could this situation be made whole

The timeframe of my unjust wrath
Is thankfully so extremely short
All it takes is a message sent
And a terse and witty retort

No anger against you have I
Can not to you hold any wrath
No angry bone can I obtain
With you I can’t walk down the path

Never madness against you suffer
Irritation abounds within
My mind argues against my heart
A battle which it can not win

For my heart is yours to take now
It has been from the very start
Be gentle with this lovestruck man
As together we block these darts

Why do I feel so down?
Another Saturday lost
Nothing ever goes as planned
And my heart feels the cost

We try to work a plan
To see each other soon
Something always impedes
Plans we create at noon

Try to see each other
With plans we laid out now
It’s another waste of time
For something impedes somehow

I propose to you another
A binding plan for we
To meet no matter what
And cause the banes to flee

Give me a sign you’re real
Show me that you’re alive
Not just electric bits
Against which my mind strives

Give me a good portent
Of things that are to come
Show me those things you feel
As beats my heart like a drum

Should I ask about your dreams?
Or should I let them lie?
Would tell me what they are?
Or greet me with a sigh?

To see inside your heart
To know the dreams you dream
A window unto you mind
Isn’t as scary as it seems

If you choose to let me in
I’ll try my best to see
The woman inside of you
And show the man inside of me
