When negative thoughts run through my head like love runs away from you...
When "I can" becomes the painful phrase of "I can't"...
When I look at you and your eyes dance away like a spark of fire...
When reality slams its reality, like you slam on my soul...
When the one thing I think I want in life is pounded like a nail...
When advise becomes an echo, like water becomes mist...
When breathing hurts because you can't exhale...
When I lack of that one world called strength...
When you are crying and hurt and I don't know what to say...
When I stand all alone in a great big crowd...
When emotions slip through my fingers, like tears down my cheeks...
When a fragrance of mind is found, and a fragment of joy is lost...
When you my dreams are folded and creased a million times...
When you are my light that I can never have...
When you want me to be so perfect because you fear that I'm not...
When I become not an angel but a lust for you...
When a hyacinth becomes a weed...

When I read such a powerful poem, it makes me happy, though the content may be sad!

There's just so much emotion inside your sadness. I could never experience all of it, but I think that I've been ensnared by some of the same bits of it. Keep throwing it out there, we're listening.
