Indigo 4 Ever

Two souls have come together

To share their path in life.

They all say it won't work,

That all they’ll know is strife

Here are two souls,

Vastly different yet so similar.

They find solace in each other's arms

While reveling in the warmth of the familiar.

No one on Earth could possibly know

The depth of love shared by these two souls.

The excitement they feel about what lies ahead

And the challenge of realizing their goals.

I Tried

My stars are dancing around me

In a melancholy sort of way.

My sun has faded slightly

And my moons are almost gone.

My universe is dying,

Disappearing slowly.

I don't know what to do.

I don't know how to stop it.

I knew that taking on this job

Was a huge responsibility.

But I didn't know I would care this much.

I didn't know it would hurt this much.

I tried to teach them without them

Hating me.

I thought they would appreciate

The gifts I had given them

And would use them wisely.

But they don't.

I believe I have whispered to quietly

In their ears

And they are too busy to listen.

I should speak louder

And maybe they will hear me.

Maybe they will listen better to you.

Give it a try, it can't hurt anyone.

Do it for me.

Do it for you.
