Noise
Not The One



Noise

I elude the sounds of despair around me

and dilute the sights that trouble

my derranged heart.


For my troubled soul must

hide beneath this shell,

and my 'self ' must stay under a

covering, concealed forever.


Like bubbles in champagne, only

little gasps of air can escape to the surface

and only specks of true flavor can

be found in a fermented grape.

placed on your tongue ever so gently


I lock my door so that ghosts cannot into

my reality and close my closet so

that my skeletons cannot escape.


Traffic, music, and life in general seem to be noise

enough to block out the reality and

keep my world a fantasy.


A dream hidden and disguised as poetry,

art, and song. It is all but a sound,

noise, to protect me from what I do not want to hear.





Not The One

An opening paragraph to the story

that's mine, beyond the reaches of my mind,


But my soul within me tries to surface

through the lines on the page,


A world so real to me that reality is but

a dream . I try to realize why this lack of affection

has brought me to where I must be.


Holding on, that's what I do, since I met you and

It won't be long would you notice if I

Left you?


Decisions are left like obstacles in my path,

blocking me from you and you from me.


I see you standing there. Were you sickened in time ?

Distinct pictures were put in my head. We

belong, we belong together.


Relative to my feelings, I'm wishing you were here and

mutual feelings are not being had for the

wanting.


And plans that waltzed through my head time and

time again are now flung back in my face

with a violent push.


And tears that were not desired were shed over the

corpse of our friendship.


And if I died tonight would you hold my hand? Or would

you understand?


And it's fine for some because you're not the one, you're

not the one, here.
