Wasting Away

I've tried to hide who I am
To pray each day would pass away
Through Facade, Lies, Pretend
Never knowing what to say

I have locked myself into a room
Shut the windows and barred them tight
Blocked the light to let in gloom
Fraught with unwillingness and fright

Some have talent and let it go
Others only an ember which fuels a flame
Creating a fire filled with smoke
Leading to mastery and fame

Instead I sit to watch the chill
Enter this room to freeze me more
Any warmth turns to ice in the still
Words become taxed, labored, a chore

I've hidden well who I am
I would pray each day yet it flees away
In the thoughtlessness where sadness begins
Slowly leading to my grave

To Be Loved

I wish that I could be loved To hold the hand of God That stars shining above Could ignite a lightning rod Many years and days alone I walked and prayed for you I no longer know my home I have searched to find your truth I sat by you on this shore Upon rocks in the sand Waiting to be adored Yet, refusing to take your hand I hear these waves crash and die Short lifespans savage, then gone I feel so still inside Always a bit withdrawn I wish that I could be loved To believe, to be with you To touch and to be touched As each night and day renew
