The catalyst of you

Can I leave?
Can I walk away and not feel like I've abandoned my friend?
All the hopes and the dreams that were the only glue that bound us together
Have begun to dissipate into the atmosphere.
And we are left standing here, misinterpreting each others words
Mishearing each others desires
Still trying to form the other into what we are hoping for
I am not what you want, you are not what I need.
Do we have the strength individually to be the adults we want to be
and say without any hurt feelings that it's time to move on now
It's time to let go.
It's time to be the people that we are, alone, and maybe someday
meet somebody different
who is compatible.

Enough

I've had enough
Nothing is ever enough
What is the point of staying in love
When I can't love
Your life as is
Not enough to keep me feeling satisfied
I am sick with hesitation
I've been hesitating for 6 months
We don't have enough to talk about
When you're away
Your plan is to stay away
I can't wait
Not when there isn't enough to hold me here

When Mountains Fall

You can step out of your height
I could never climb you anyway
You were unreachable
I fell to the ground from trying
and when mountains fall
the crash is bright
So walk away and let me build my mountain

Wavering slowly on a rapid decline
You just left us here
to fight over your body
To wallow in pathetic horror
To be forced to be together when we hate each other so
We love each other some
Not enough to stay together
Not enough to stand the pains of years laid wasted

So you got out early on good behaviors
she thought she could go on vacation
but she was mistaken
because all she got was psych ward and more medication

I want to break the cycle of the man who isn't available
The alone that drives me crazy
is enough to cause an ice age in my veins
So now with him, will I be alone again?
Is he available in a different way that no one else has been
Even if physically he is often not really with me.
But he loves me he says
As if those words were enough to cover over the other stuff
the stuff that never seems to move fast enough for me

I want to be free or tied to someone who wants to be tied to me
someone who will watch over me
Someone who doesn't cower from the idea of devotion
I need to be in trust, not just in love.

All these reflections on the lake of my valley
as I bend over to see clearly
my stones begin to topple over
Then I crumble
the crash was not so bright
This mountain has fallen.

Prayer

Dear Goddess of light
Send a beam of radiance through me
To carry a brilliant glow
The life that I have always known
I will live with again
Return to grow
Thrusting into the world this love

Catholic Rebirth

What is it that could make you believe?
why can't you see the disparity?
Those things you need can be found in the most sacred of places
It doesn't have to be something that is forbidden
It is beautiful as I think of you
To think of the rawness of nature
We are an animal species
We are not above the most basic of senses
It is the experience of these that drives me
What keeps the fire in flames
But that which keeps the world burning
The fusion of energy
Is the vision I am surging
