Longing and Love

Untitled 6
Always a bridesmaid, never a bride
Is what I think as I see the two of you together
You so smitten, not able to let go
She, barely able to stand the sight of you

It’s not that I want you for myself
No, I don’t want you
What I want is the wanting
Someone to see only me

If you can’t be with the one you love, love the one you’re with
Is how I feel when you take me in your arms
But my jelly jar is always left half-empty when you leave
And half of something just won’t do anymore

Knowing that someone would die to be between your legs
Feels good at first, yes, it does at first
But when the inner longing is left unsatisfied
The heart grows cold and curses the body for its deceptions

Untitled 14
I can not sleep
My heart is so full of love
For Him
For Her
How can I sleep when
Every breath
Reminds me of this beauty
This peace that rages in my heart
Like cold fire
To be one with Him
And with Her
My joy
Too much to express
Too painful to hold
This heaviness of fire and ice
In my soul
I am in love with Me
And with He
And with She
Broken into so many pieces
Yet still one whole
I see God’s true face for the first time
And I am home
I am complete
