Tick... Tock

 You tick the way you tick... I tick the way I tick. What if, the way we tick was intended to tick together and the reason no one else gets how deep we are, is because no one else was supposed to match with how we tick. And instead of seeing that our brokenness actually synchs, we're too busy looking at it's flaws. We're therefore diverted, distracted, disillusioned from the fact that we were made this way so that we fit!

So we go around ticking to the wrong people's tock and thinking it's us that need to keep modifying ourselves, when all along, my tick was meant for your tock. Too busy thinking we need the perfect tick to tick with the perfect tock. So we end up passing each other constantly in the night thinking every light in the distance is the lighthouse to paradise. We held hands before, and beyond words, beyond norms, we saw how we lit each other up. That was the only symphony we needed to hear but rose colored lenses kept us blind and fighting, when all we had to do was shut...them...out. If we quieted the noise you would see how beautiful you are to me. If we quieted the noise you would hear how our "broken" ticks fully synched and worked in it's own intended perfection. Our unmatched depth would find their home, but only if we quieted the noise. What is the story you want to write? That you denied me because the world said so? Or that you found where you belonged and got the live the rest of your days being folded in the arms of the home meant for you? It's time to stop standing outside in the rain. The clock is ticking.

Gemstone

 You expect me to discard you,

Because others have stepped away.


You expect me to look passed you,

Like a better option on the shelf below.


That's why you hide everything, 

Because everyone who looked, didn't see anything they wanted.


You keep checking the clock,

Because everyone said your time is up.


And you keep expecting me to find better, 

Because everyone made you feel you're not good enough.


But if you saw how I see you,

You'd know you are a more precious than anything in my life.


If you saw how you made me feel,

You'd know you're the only one for me.


If you saw my mind when I kiss you,

You'd know that I want everything about you.


If you knew how deep my love grows,

You would beg the gods to live forever.


If you knew why my hands never tire of you,

You would know that as you are, you are enough for me.


No one saw your gemstone, 

because it wasn't meant for them.


No matter how they looked,

No matter how much you offered it,

They would never see it.


It isn't something in you.... it's you.

It isn't a piece of you... it's all of you.

The prism of you has to be taken as whole.


I see my gemstone

I see you.

Fine

 You don't want me to tell you I love you

Fine

The sun looks for the moon everyday,

The same way I look for you.

~~~

You don't want me to tell you I need you

Fine

What is gravity without something falling for it,

The same way your hands need mine.

~~~

You don't want to tell me you love me

Fine

Your eyes tell me of a world where you only exist for me.

~~~

You don't want to tell me you need me

Fine

Your kiss has been a portal you've been fighting to get through everyday.

~~~

You say you'd be ok if I left

Fine

Your hug is always a slow fight trying to crawl inside my chest.

~~~

You're right, your words are an insecure bravado

Fine

Your eyes, your kiss, your hug, already sing to my spirit.
