Just So You Know...

When I’m frozen and rigid
I still wholly love you
I’m just so overwhelmed
I don’t know what to do
It’s not that I’ve simply ceased to care
As a shield, my thoughts end up everywhere
 
I’m not tuning you out,
And I’m not at all fine
I try hard not to pout
So you won’t see me whine
 
I’m lost deep inside
And every piece of news
Makes it harder to stop;
Put yourself in my shoes
 
When every breath
Is a change of plans
It’s hard to keep up
With what life demands.
 
That’s all I really want you to know
When my very being seems to slow
I don’t want you to think I’m hiding in fear
I’m just looking for the words that will keep you near

(2013)

Lots of poems up recently...seems the only way to tame the rampancy of my thoughts.
