You Have No Clue?

despondency echoes in your eyes
like dripping plight resonating across a baron wasteland
bound by your own hand
held captive by words on your own lips
but it is the very words unspoken
haunting your thoughts
obscuring reality blackened by self mortification
i found you as the moon
waxing and waning your personality
periodically receding as if your spirit was on low volume
the oscillating on high frequency once again
a never ending cycle of pleasure then pain
and like a sapling beaten by a summer thunder storm
i still stand in the morning ready to receive the suns healing rays
and again await the arrival of the next overcast
how can passions fire still aglow
with icy storms of pessimistic turmoil
but it lives, for it is loved by a living heart
you can choose who you choose to be
whether you do or whether you don't
will depend on your priorities
think, all the days you could have said something
all the times that you were needed you were busy
in some way you could have done something
a thought, a word, a simple smile but you were selfish
take a look at who you are, so open wounds will bleed
when i'm melting in your eyes
one look and i fall, will i be the last to fall
and dance the night away
a walking example of intoxicating beauty
hence forth safely for nothing visible in light
and walk with eyes wide shut
sleep with open eyes
close the door and turn your back
or reality overcomes you, your living a lie
am i confined by my senses to really know who you are
for i have felt you with my spirit
and i know the love you hold
so why the invitation
if you weren't gonna be the catch me
when i fell in love with you
and i might be an apple at the very top
too much work for you to reach
are you afraid to fall
and i don't mean to be a nuisance
i just think we can do better than this
that is only my two cents
you can take it or leave it
