Enduring Friendships (Cinco)

WHY are we here?
WHERE are we going?
WHAT is happening to us?
WHO am i when i am with you?
WHEN will we be at peace?

Paper

a blank paper
LIFE
strokes of paint
slowly adding color
whether deliberate or not
add depth to LIFE
an unfinished portrait
each moment, adding paint
winds blow the portrait away
dust falls
LIFE is ruined,
crumpled paper

If

if only we had tried when the time was right,
or was it?
for we seemed to drift apart even when there was
nothing between us but   the    air    of    possibilities
and your voice telling me unspoken thoughts and dreams
if only.
i do not speak so freely as i do with you
words do not flow out of my mouth as beautifully
as they do with you
my thoughts, my words, my whole presence of being
is illuminated just by standing next to you.
yes, it's true, but do i have the same effect on you...

CRAZY

CRAZY, 
               DERANGED
YOU SAY IT'S THE SAME
TANGLED UP IN DEMONIC LOVE.
SIX FEET 
UNDER IS WHERE THE REAL TREASURE LIES
STAND THERE AND DIG UP YOUR PRIZE.

Change

i heard the only thing constant in life is change,
but if trying to not remain the same
is in the game plan, then put me in.
i'm determined to win, for this is
not who i want to be.
tied down by what you initially thought of me.
i'm too strong to act passive,
you're too small to act massive,
so just let me leave and create my destiny

Pieces

u hurt me, u broke me
u had me, u told me
words that i longed to hear
about how you cared for me
and would never want to hurt me.
u held me and showed me that love
had no worries, no care of life
it can be expressed as loudly or as
softly as i'd like.
u cared for my thoughts, feelings
and listened when i spoke
but somewhere along my words
you heard your own and decided to 
follow that voice.
our bond is not the same
our love is not the same
you and i are not the same
i'm free to let you go, while
dissecting myself to find out why 
i'm so free...
it's disconcerting at times to know that
i let you go
you, the person who knows all my secrets
you, the person who knows all my faults
you, the person who i trusted with my heart
i showed you bits and pieces of my soul
hoping to unveil the canvas of my life
but we could never get there
due to your misconceptions of my artwork
i'm not hurt enough to shut off 
from the world,
but broken.
the pieces lay at my feet, waiting for me to
get my life back together.

How convenient of you to show up in the night sky and guide me into your light, which shines for all to see...
