Do you see my silent anguish,
Do you hear my unuttered plea?
When no one else can see me languish.
Are you aware of me?
I read the Psalms and I say my prayers,
And I know your love is true.
But when I keep secret all my cares,
Do you know what I'm going through?
I know you remember the tears I cry,
and what each one was for.
But do you know the pain when my eyes are dry
Do you feel it even more?
When I'm just sitting here, on my own,
Not even thinking of you.
Are you thinking of me when I feel alone,
Are my thoughts what you're listening to?
This torture is too much for me
But not too much for you.
Will you come now, will you hear my plea?
Will you carry this burden too?
Do you hear my unuttered plea?
When no one else can see me languish.
Are you aware of me?
I read the Psalms and I say my prayers,
And I know your love is true.
But when I keep secret all my cares,
Do you know what I'm going through?
I know you remember the tears I cry,
and what each one was for.
But do you know the pain when my eyes are dry
Do you feel it even more?
When I'm just sitting here, on my own,
Not even thinking of you.
Are you thinking of me when I feel alone,
Are my thoughts what you're listening to?
This torture is too much for me
But not too much for you.
Will you come now, will you hear my plea?
Will you carry this burden too?

Oceans Under Eyelashes
You know... you and I never cried at the same time,
but if we did I think that I would just cry harder.
In my heart of hearts I know that in the dark we could be mistaken for stars.
I know you are the sun to me,
the reason I know it comes up every morning.
Once upon a time, your door was the only one that opened,
that opened and actually let me in
instead of chasing me away.
I was a wilting rose with the petals falling one by one,
and the wind the shutting doors made only made them fall faster,
but when you opened your door, the last petal fell into your hand,
and when I felt the warmth,
I knew this was a great place to fall,
if I w

Discover Suns and Halos
I feel like I am falling and falling,
but how I wish it was a "fall from grace"
just to know what grace feels like.
But I know I have never spent a day of my life there.
Do not give up!
Not before this sunset,
not before this beauty that goes even beyond
what the eyes can see.
But my eyes can only see fear,
all because I dare to take the first step,
or rather it was dared for me.
All I really wanted was to stay
in a shell I have long since overgrown,
to stay in the waters that do not even
touch my knees. I did not want to step
into a new world.
But now I have.
It is summer, but I am shivering,
and debating on whether to turn on the heat,
Literature
Starry Eyed
You make maps to ceiling constellations,
and I wanna lie here and trace every line,
until we're lost in the dark matter of your mind.
With arms cooly tucked beneath your head,
you navigate an escape from nothingness.
There is a brilliance spilling from your lips,
as your mouth rambles on and on.
You have long drifted alone with starry eyes,
but now you've found a passenger.

Though this poem is beautifully tragic and I could say so much about it I am sorry to hear you are having such a hard time. I'm not sure what you are going through and there is probably very little I can do to help but just know you are not alone, never truelly. There will always be someone you can turn to, family, friends, even people here on DA. I'm sure what ever is happening it will soon pass, even if at this moment the pain feels as if it will last forever. Just stay strong. Maybe find someone to talk to. If you are feeling alone know there are plenty of wonderful people here who will be willing to help.
