Alive, & If,

When I'm around you
I recall what it's like to be alive
I wish you could look into me and
see you through my eyes.
You make wish I was
somebody else,
somebody stronger,
somebody who doesn't run
and hide inside himself when
deviating just a bit from his patterns,
when something threatens his
sense of security in familiarity to
any degree.
And if I was better,
if I was healed,
and you were alone,
I'd make it better for you,
I'd do my damnest to heal you,
but things are the way they are.
You're not alone and I'm
addicted to solitude and I'm insane,
and I've got to make it through
this marsh, this gap, this swamp,
this dark plane, this blurring hurricane,
but the feeling you give me when
you look inside my eyes, the things
you trust me with, the likeness
in unconventional, exceptional experience
we share reminds me I'm not alone.
I wish you could understand
that my actions and inactions
don't reflect my feelings,
that still waters run deep
and these ocular wells, deeper still.
I just wish you could see
you through me, I wish you
could see your beauty,
I wish you could see how
much you mean to me.
