"Under My Skin"

You let me in
with your silly grin
and gentle hand
you always have
a way with me
tell me
do you notice
what this does to me
when you let me in
then walk away
maybe I'm a fool
trapped inside
your gated doorway
just facing the facts
I'm caught up in
your mystery
but just tell me
am I wasting
wasting your time
feel like I'm wasting your time
I didn't know
I'd feel this way
I am here
I am there for you
but you are far away
oh it feels so good
but it hurts much more
you tease me
do you know
that you tease me
just don't hide
from me anymore
act like it's
just another day
when you look at me
oh please
dont look at me that way
is it just your
gray cold heart
I try to stay away
but I keep coming back
coming back for more
won't you feed my dreams
pastel skies over me
and this play
keeps me on the edge
just one more encore
do you know
I can't take it anymore
won't you please
be free with me
dance with me
please me
oh let it be
you and I in the spotlight
don't let it end
just want to be
your friend
be close to you now
hold me close
trace the clouds for me
and humor me
don't close the door
on me now
and lead me on
the more you do
the more I cry
desperate songs
are faint lullabies
clinging to the inside
do you feel it
or is there nothing
oh this just
keeps going on
a thousand words
won't say how I feel
so just let me bleed
but don't let me die
under my skin
you keep sinking in.....

thanks! I've had writers block for quite a while but things are starting to flow again.

here's one more:

She is dancing all alone
swaying to the sound
of her own heartbeat
with tears falling down her dress
can't imagine
she's got the world at her fingertips
as they scale the empty air
although she's got
all that she needs
there's nothing she can feel
her mold is breaking
the ground is shaking
but there's no escaping the pain
she lifts her hands
above her head
and falls down to her knees
she's all soaked with sorrow
and cries out to the silence
the darkness numbs her
and all that's left
is the spotlight she's in
but no one is there to see it
taking her sweet time
letting the sound of her breathing
repeat itself in her mind
the light is dimming
as she feels release
and dreams of perfect skies
surrounding her body
a wave of promise
rushes over
she stands up tall
and then she steps out
without looking behind

Your use of skies and imagery in both those poems is just amazing. I especially like the "humor me/trace the clouds for me". Thanks for sharing!!!!

I've had all the tears I can cry
as big as the sea
now I am drowning in it
for you
everything's lost
but you're still here
I ask myself why
the pain I've given you
oh I feel it too
like wax burning through my soul
but you still kiss me
it feels so good it hurts
patterned traces of yesterday
fall into my heart
while you're away
I'm scared of tomorrow
but you say you'll stay
that leaves the sun
for me
you're too good to be true
that I was blind to see
can you just hold me tight
can you just sink into me
tonight
under the broken moon
I'm stupid
but I know that I love you

This last one is really really good. I have read it 3 times so far, and will again. It speaks to me. Thanks

my life is a dream
full of things so bad
they don't seem real
full of things so good
they can't be true
my life is a dream
landscaped by me
rough and unedged
torn and unkept
but I find a way
my life is a dream
parallel to the night
tainted with pain
stained with tears
covered in love
my life is a dream
in and out I drift
but I don't lose sight
of my waking soul
singing to me
my life is a dream
perfect with scars
feeling surreal
chasing away boogiemen
and hugging the stars
my life is a dream
a thousand nightmares
to sleep in peace
carrying the dirt
from the shoes of my heart
my life is a dream
so don't wake me
