| As You Like It Samantha Elizabeth Meyers I thought that this would Take my world And turn it upside down Mass chaos was my envisionment Now I see structered chaos I've learned so many things today About myself About you About love and lackthereof I saw you as the man I couldn't live without I see you as a boy Who I could live with I broke down every piece of you That you would let me find And digested it until I thought I knew you Until I knew who your star was Who you blindly worshipped When I ventured to your heart I found myself discovering Unearthing, virgin territory No one dared to crawl under your skin And challenge you about love You don't know what it is Not claiming that I understand it perfectly While you thought of your breathing I thought of your breathing Do you see the difference? Not saying that you are Totally selfish I am concerned with my well-being But therein lies the antithesis I woke up today Living in a fantastically impossible world Is not healthy Now I have to rejoin the world Where you live Filled with loveless, ignorant And untangible people (If you consider an organism without Love even a person at all) I'm stuck here Until I find my 'soulmate' (Although I thought you fit the bill) But you gave me one thing Which I am thankful for What I don't want in a 'man' I don't want someone Who denies the truth I don't want someone Who doesn't *think* And I certainly don't need either Continue to live your life Without emotion As you like it |

| Pieces of You Samantha Elizabeth Meyers I cannot see through you Like I once thought I could I saw inside of you. You always knew I could So why stop playing now? I tried to describe all the things You never felt. You turned me off And continued to live blindly. I dug just below the surface. On my desent, I saw amazing things; Pieces of you that you've never seen. I let you stare into your own abyss. You ran. The goodbye was brief at best Definetely emotionless. You fled so quickly Taking the only light with you. I didn't have a chance to put my shoes on. So I'm still crawling under your skin Drowning in darkness Searching for a pore to seep through. I'm discovering so much more Within you, without you. I've charted out my escape. Impatiently waiting for My opportune time When will you give me time? I see all that you see. These days I feel like your twin. I know my way around down here. I have a feel of you One thing I found missing; Your heart. Was is broken? You cleaned up the mess well. Were you born without one? How sad. Did she consume it When she drained the life from you? Or maybe you hid it. You always kept things from me. I have some glue To piece it back together. There's nothing physical for me to do I can only digest so much of you At one sitting. I could be freed any day now. I'm just waiting for you To look up at the millions of celestial Bodies; then you'll remember me. That girl, who you love. I'm contained in that molecule That is forming in the corner of your eye. |
