Out To Me

Silence speaks
Louder than words
..Louder than the lies
But,   I can bare them..
(so much)
Better in silence
 (..better than the truth)
this time..
All those little things
All those little ways
All those little voices
       they paint the sign.

I know where you are..

at least,           in your Heart..

For years
I've seen this same web
Whenever
I close my eyes
inside
and behind
everything
At times
Reaching out to me
And other times
Simple Clarity
But only now do I see
That web
For what it really means..

Wires
Allowing the heart to float
Reaching out
But all the while
Isolating..
Insulating..
..Fragility
..and copper wires
Flesh shaped

Cavities

But It's okay
Because I know
That all the things 'I lack'
No matter how much I'd like to
None will be given
Back..
But
Its better this way
And yes, I know
That sounds like something
She would say..

We're all liars
Only some of us Free
And the rest,
Just afraid to be..
But as much as I'd like to keep fighting
This is where
It (all)
Ends
For me.
