WITH MY ARMS ON ME ENWRAPPED

My lips lock with air
as the night closes in,
as the waves wash away
the life I've forsaken.

Your face hovers before me,
out of place in the darkness,
a mirage of my imagination
trying to stave off the loneliness.

If only I weren't without you-
Perhaps if I had you in my arms,
perhaps then my wounds would sew themselves
on both my insides and my heart.

But I know that you're not with me,
and I know you won't be back,
which is why I look away and cry,
with my arms on me enwrapped.

12/29/03 on Katie. Just feeling a little lonely. Partially as a result of no kisses, and partially as a result of... just feeling like maybe she doesn't like me that much (perhaps I was naive). And partially because I feel like I like her too much and smother her too much so think I should go away, which hurts. I don't want to be me. I want to be right for her.
