Yet To Be Written


I am neither
a mind reader
nor do I have
any magic
to offer you
I push forward
when I feel
weakness in
others but pull
and withdraw
when I feel
my own
wasting too much
time on my fears
and maybe this
time I care
too much that
it will risk me
too close to
the edge
in the novel
you say I want
there is no novel
there shall be
one day
but it is
yet to be written
but when I
look straight into
your eyes
I see the future
in clear words

"i wish your room had room for two" John Mayer

and stained the water clear..."

Look what I've built, it shines so beautifully now watch as it destroys me."
