lipless
i want to rhyme up some lyrics
or to compose a poem
or maybe to draw that which i think is beautiful
but my words and methods of expression feel inadequate
to explain things i do not understand in myself;
how i want, and do not at the same time.
how beautiful dreams i would like to weave for others,
while always staying in my solitude of broken wishes,
romantically untouched and unloved.
afraid to say or do anything that would jeopardize
any love or innocence that still can cry.
and thus longing for a segregated life
that the happy may stay joyful
and i unaffected that they would not see,
would not empathize my emptiness.
maybe i'm a hypocrite, for loving the sound of loved surprise
by silence upon another's lips or by muted tears of an embrace
that belongs to anyone but me, i blame my ignorance and myself
for my inability to accept care with composure and respectful poise
and with this understood,
i am fully ready not to accept it at all.
so for another to give what i am ready to let go of,
it confounds me mentally, emotionally and spiritually;
it confuses me thoroughly,
where then is mercy enough to give... that which i cannot express.
