Unworthy

I don't deserve you
It's what I often think about when I ponder our future
I have a left eye filled with a limitless hunger
And a wicked heart that wavers easily with emotion
Both caged, both contained, both unable to be allowed to freely exist
This curse I have brought upon myself with years and years of sin
Oh how I wish I could remove them both

Words unspoken, words never said but filled with saturated truth
I wish I could love you as I had them
I wish I could love you as you have me
I wish I could love you as I do her
I wish I could love you as you deserve
But the heart is wicked, and with my mind I love

All I ask is that the past be forgotten
That I may never ask of the what ifs 
The what whens
The what hows
The what or's 
The what nows

I cannot love you with all my heart
For it's an untamed beast, hungering to consume all
So many people exist, so many pathways to explore
So many possibilities, so many chances at happiness
So many potentials, so many truths
To allow it free will surely be my fall

And so I pledge I will spend each day loving you as you deserve
Pledge each day filling your seconds with joy
Pledge each day reminding you how important you are
Pledge each day becoming worth your love

Left eye left eye may I please remove you?
Stabbing into the socket, pulling you out
Left eye left eye you carry my curse
A sin that's fed and only made worse

May I someday accept the joys of life
And my heart never filled with strife
May I someday be worthy
With a heart that may be set free
May I someday love you with all my being
And spend the rest of my years believing 

To N Love

Left eyes and Emotional Hearts

I often wonder about the what-ifs, though I would rather not bother and keep looking forward. Yet it is hard to turn away when I'm filled with delusions that there's potential there. Someone so deserving of love and yet has been absent from it for years, someone so beautiful with their own sense of charms with a set of traditional values any good American could appreciate.

I often wonder what would have happened if I had taken that job if I perhaps hadn't found another before I saw you. I once described you as the sunshine of the day, ever bright, ever beaming with radiating joy, it was so hard not to love you and the same not to fall in love with you. I'm not saying I do but...there's at times I feel my heart rushing at the thought of you. I wish...I wish you would find someone worth loving and who could love you the same deservingly. Someone like you shouldn't be alone, someone like you deserve to be loved.

Even after years has gone by it still beats as if you were just here yesterday. It still speaks poetically to your name to the way you smile, the way you beam with joy, it's hard to see this horribly broken world when you're standing in front of me. There is reassurance in it, comfort and a deep sense of peace for the one who stands behind you is even greater. And you make that very evident.

But I cannot and should not, it's within the left eye that I can't trust- the heart that I hold contain for it runs purely on emotions and sways very easily as the leaves do. Leaving me with my mind, we cannot be together for anything built on betrayal will result in a cursed foundation, lacking every blessing and scowled by the very eyes of Heaven. So please find someone soon to love so that I may finally close this door and let go to never love you again.

To Kristina M, the sunshine of the day
