DENIAL
Denial is actually
Grander that i previously
imagined.
I think it can be
Exactly how i picture it...
(i tell myself that time and time again).
As you drifted away,
I realize this is not the case.
And those words
'I love you'
Make no sense to me
They only bring tears
Which i am unable to control.
You aren't mine anymore,
In fact,
You never were.
You will always
Be hers though.
--------------------------------------
BROKEN IS ME
I have wasted
A thousand tears
on you,
Tears which flowed
On their own accord
And burst into such frenzies
of saddness
That i thought
I would never recover....
I don't think i ever will.

LOST
Chain my feet
To purpled sunrise clouds
Let me fly away
And see the world today
I close my eyes
Just for a moment
Catching a glimse
Of all of my dreams
But i soon awake
And plant my toes
Upon this ground
Again.
--------------------------------------
FORGOTTEN SMILE
I am not from here
My hair smells of the air
And is tangled with the cleanliness
Of such a foreign place
And i move about this world
With a lonliness
I can't escape
Leaving me no strength
To even bear a smile
But i approach my days
With vaporous consequence
Hoping one day soon
That single smile
That i miss so much
Will light my face
And bring me back to life.
-Nov. 21, 1999

WITHOUT LOVE
I do not love you.
I almost
Want to take back the thought
That i ever did.
An artificial love
That tore my heart in pieces.
We had created
Our own romance novel
But do not be sad
Nothing was lost,
Neither of us
Truly loved the other,
You only thought you did
And i only wanted to.
--------------------------------------
SHIVERS (To Brent, i love you)
At first it was shocking
But now the idea
Sends those exciting shivers
Up my spine.
You intrigue my curiosity
Beyond the ability
To comprehend or resist,
I want to be with you!
I want to wake
In the morning
In your arms
Comforted by your smile
And your spash of sincerity.
I want to kiss your lips
At the end of a day
Watching as your eyes close slow
Heavy with the thoughts
Of the thousands of things
That filled your day
-Romie Lindsley Sept. 21, 1999

EMPTINESS
A simple yet awkward place
Where shes offered nothing
But a meaningless kiss.
That split second comes
And vanishes
Leaving behind a saddened
Lonely girl.
So that lonely girl
Trys to beleive
You mean it when you kiss her
But she wakes up
And that aloneness
Is a reminder
Of how far her acceptance is
From her understanding.
--------------------------------------
The Moon
It would be
So much more beautiful
If i could only see it
With him.
--------------------------------------
MY PERFECTION
I am drunk on the softness of
his touch and the sweetness
of his voice, the singing of
his laughter and the melody of
his words. The mystical magic
of his smile and the way his
lips flirt with micheveous dimples.
I melted at the touch of his
silky fingers, and the way they
fit so perfectly into my own. Even
in the face of miles
of roads and vast distances of
sea and ocean, and while
my absence has opened his
soul to another, my heart
cannot let go. As hard as
I try, I cannot find anything
that fits that empty space in my
soul, so perfectly as he did.
