When We Listen

There was that time you kissed me. That day you held my hand. When you wrapped your arms around me. Kept me from falling down. Your gaze glued to mine. Your smile so tempting Those lips waiting You pulled me closer ~ Crushed me into your chest. Our hearts beating in rhythm. Your hands slid down my hips. Our fingers entwined then your lips on mine. So much learned from the  beginnings of a kiss.

Do you know how it feels  to be embraced by the shadows? You think the fun is in the light? but in the darkness we are invisible You don't want to see what hides out in here Takes a man without fear to look beyond the light and feel what hides within the night. In here there are no eyes to see. in here no ears to hear. steps taken so lightly~ sound swallowed by silence not wanting to be heard. You wouldn't want to venture in for fear it would consume you The shadows hide behind open doors they sneak up behind you Don't turn  you won't find them the shadows  find you.

Oh my God,  It's been awhile Everywhere you touched Screamed "Yes" for Miles My toes just curled... Oh, you've done that before? for me, that was new. My legs haven't tightened so much Really?  you do have a magic touch. "Um, may we do it again?" Of course, yes please... that was amazing yes, yes I'll squeeze Oh wait, don't let go I think I'm still  ~reacting~  We should make a note  to go there again... Wait, what? You believe once is enough? I think you're wrong! I'd like to dispute...  I think I'd like another No, I know I want another Lets get real close touch me here Oh yes for sure there can you get closer still? O'come on I need you  at least once more Really, You give in? I so enjoy the way you tease. Am I that easy? Oh, you're just enjoying what you've done! Either way What an amazing way to "play" today!

I don't whisper to you so others can't hear. I whisper so that my lips  will bring you near. I whisper  so once you're near I may know your desire. Breathe in your lust. share a tender moment  of  passion between us. I whisper so that I may see that look in your eyes... ~eager Yes, be eager. For you will see just how eager  our passion can be I'll press my lips to you ~a whisper too close? It's just what we need body heat It burns from me do you feel it too? Then close your eyes  and Let me whisper to you

I say I don't need you  ~When you forget to call I say I didn't want you ~When you decided to end it all I thought that I once loved you ~You told me I was wrong. You said, "There's more to love  than what we had going on" I once believed I needed you ~You showed me that I didn't. I hoped you would come back to me ~Then remembered why you wouldn't I couldn't forget about you for the longest time ~Then one day I realized You hadn't been on my mind A smile appeared knowing you were gone ~How weird. I didn't need you at all.

I wonder what would you do If I asked to slowly undress you? Standing there in a suit so well dressed  so refined... I've already undressed you in my mind I've imagined what that shirt looks like on the floor. What's underneath, will I get to explore? May I pretty please trace the lines  from  the muscles in your neck  to the bottom  of your behind? Oh, if you please, just the thought brings me to my knees. Lets continue lets move on the pants you have shouldn't be left on I'll just un-button here  un-zip down to there let them fall mmm, now there... We are getting to the fun we are almost there silly me... I'll try not to stare I take that back I promise nothing I've brought you this far Now give me something I'll leave nothing to waste lets finish the rest... In under a second I'll be out of this dress!

Excuses drip from the walls thick as molasses Lies cover the floor waiting to be believed Shadows dance around the light  that has snuck in through broken windows. Dust covers the frames that once held smiling faces An echo of a child's laugh floats through the air. If not for the echo There would be no sound  anywhere. The spiders and flies   took their dance elsewhere Even this place is too dark  for them. No soul left to fill the void No whisper of any tenant  at all. This place they call Misery ~ No one should want to be. It tries to hold on to others  It tries to belong Misery loves company "They say" But no company would take Misery on!

Once there was a little girl who only wanted to be loved! She looked in all the wrong places just for a hug. She was told she had to give more if she wanted to be seen. She was told she had to be more if she wanted her dream. She gave, they took... she waited to see. Not enough was all it ever seemed to be. So, she gathered her things and turned away, to start a love in a different way. She found her strength, she found her voice. She lived a life of her own choice. She knows if she could choose who she would choose to be. The choice to choose would be... "Me!"

Do you know me? I hide within the shadows I run behind the wind I blend in with the trees Leaves stumble around me with ease. Do you see me? I pass you every day I walk in your shoes I glide behind you as you move I watch you move about your day I wonder what it's like to be you Do you hear me? I reach for you, but I can never get close enough I scream for you, but my words float above you, and are carried away I wonder why you can't hear me I wonder why you wont see me But, I will wait until you do For, I am that power you are searching for I am what you are always hoping to find, but choose to ignore. I am what you have spent your lifetime looking for Once you believe in you, then you will see me Once you find you...you will hear me. Once you know; you can do anything You will have set me free I am that power within you I'm just waiting for you to believe!!

I am a survivor of things no one wants to talk about.   I am a statistic of too many numbers to count. I am a fighter. I am a believer that all things are possible. I have hurt deeper than I thought possible. I have looked up at the world,  I have stood next to the sun, and I have cried tears like rain. I have hidden from life.  I have asked "why" more times than I care to admit. I have spoken my truths and fought for my beliefs.  I have lost, but in losing, I have won. I am human.  I am imperfect  I am as weak as I am strong. I am no longer silent. I am no longer hiding. I am looking for what everyone is looking for...to be seen!
