Writings from the past

Oh, it’s cold again and I think it’s going to stay like this for a while. Mom is home today, and I think that’s going to be that way for a while. Everything else is the same. My obsession with Jonathan is apparent today. He keeps calling me but I’m always asleep. He’s never home in my waking hours. I wanted to see him again so badly but fate just wouldn’t let it happen. Why did fate let it get this far and then cut me off, reject me from the only thing that made me feel like I was changing, that the world was changing, that maybe, for once in my life, something good was actually coming my way…but I was wrong. I felt it so much this time. 

I felt so many things that were true

But this is the end

Or is it just the

Cold weather going more 

than skin deep

Feeling it, the cold

Coming out from within

In my heart and in my head

Sending my smile into hibernation

And leaving only timeless thought

Wandering around in my head

Making me wish i was dead

I only want to curl up in my bed

Forget all the things I know and have seen

And dream, just dream

Of the tomorrow I’ve been waiting for

Finally coming today

When will all the things I see in the future

Become a reality

I know that time passes and I’ve

Seen it happen

But why does it take so long

I think about the seasons changing

And how sometimes I never

Thought I’d see the sun again

I realize just how wrong I

Really was about time

Time passes quickly

In nanoseconds, to the gods

So many things can happen

And we don’t even realize

I look back now and wonder

Where the past year went

It all happened

So much, so quickly

I don’t even know where the past four years went

It all seemed so clear then

I can’t even imagine that

Part of my life these days

I can’t even imagine what

It would be like to not be alone

I’ve always been alone it seems

But wait, there was that 14 months when I wasn’t

Or did that really happen

Was it just a dream

I dreamt a long time ago

That was so good and so impossible

That I held on to it for dear life

And letting go would mean total despair

I’ve always got to have hope

For the future

And what has the future 

Brought me so far

Sure, I’ve been around a few places

And I’ve been around a few people

But come on, isn’t there something else

Something better

Why can’t I have 

That one summer night

I always feel

With the lights and the city

And the perfect man in my arms

Oh well, I’ll get it someday

I always say

It’s the only thing I have

To look forward to

God, I’m going to have to face them someday

Although I’d rather not
