Onion Parfait

I don’t ever share and I don’t ever let others in, but I am starting to think thats wrong.  There are a few people that I am starting to really appreciate.  I certainly wonder if maybe I am still an outsider looking in, but I like the increasing comfort level.  Its strange having a lack of confidence below a fascade of over confidence.  These few people are peeling away the proverbial layer.  How shall I tell them to keep peeling until tears come?  Well, I have always been blunt and frank, so here goes…you people should keep peeling until the tears come.  Its like the King and I…”getting to know you…”

I/Me (Against all odds)

I before me makes me… selfish.  Take a look at me now. I like being me, as long as I can be…me.  There’s just an empty space. Who better to know and understand me besides…me.  There’s nothing left here to remind me. I wonder how it could have been.  Just the memory of your face. Is it about you or our memories.  So take a look at me now. I want your attention…on me.  You’re coming back to me, its against the odds. You know what I want. And that’s what I’ve got to face. Stop and look…back at me.  I wish I could just make you turn around. Feelings are surfacing.  Turn around and see me cry. Listen to me.  There’s so much I need to say to you. Tell me why.  So many reasons why. You belong to me.  You’re the only one who really knew me at all. Please put me in front of you and I.  So take a look at me now.

You want a little I give you a lot
You want a lot and I give you a little
You want a positive and I give you a negative
You want a negative and I give you a positive
You bottle me up when I want to be free
You let me go when I want to hold you in
You give me a fail when I want to pass
