My Intimate Friend, Oh My Dearest

How I have longed to run into a soul
Whom I could tell everything I had to tell
How it should seem my only goal
Was all I could remember well.
Yes, I weeped and cried and held
On to one that should come to me and say
But my own sense and I dwelled
Upon something that should've never obeyed.
Yet there's none, but I think I'm blessed
To imagine my own world, in which I sink
Each time I may confront distress
Of which it is hard for others to think.
I expelled my close relations
That I left into desperate wonder
So I could keep running my creations
And let others watch us under.
But for my own safety I endured silence
And so many more seconds of solitude
Now, I see that its own prevalence
Has reached the highest magnitude.

They Thought Wrong... And Still They're Thinking

And as I lay my thoughts and each rhyme
In this world, thus to combine
I sense and am sure that by the next moment,
I'll feel a change in this entertainment.
Had it been the same as my old writing,
It would have been not as challenging
As this new form that I call true understanding
But I am still not that far from fighting.
Hitherto I had been missing my own choice
For their better hearing, and not my voice
Can I put together a heart and a mind
To not make myself again blind?
I can imagine how wrong it feels to do
Anything that's not on their way
But I quite neglect that, too;
As I now wake from this cold play.
A play, it truly is, for I'm a character
And they're part of the scene, in my opinion
I walk from them as quick as I can
And still they catch me before I go, over again.

Had it been as my old writing, I would have said
I'm disappointed; but now my plan
Is to go the right way, but I do no longer justice to my words
For it does not stay in my way
To say
That I am not to be believed and listened to
And I finish this long line by saying, it is no longer called the right side
Or the odd way, as it was someday;
'Cause now it is called rightfulness
And, by some, awful distress.

Elizabeth

A weeping lady before a gloomy mirror
Sits and hardens her soul with terror
For her price is too big to pay
And says "I have mistaken you in every way."
The reflection is pale and cold
And as the expression cannot unfold
A smile, her eyes soon laugh tears
And carry rivers, and still no one hears.
"Well, then, what have I done for this?
My soul looks at this face of an eclipse
And there's the patient silence I provoke
As my eyes in these tears soak."
Yet she doubts not that a mistake like hers
Is what climbs higher and reaches first
People's hearts; and yet, because of her courage
This movement can cause no damage.
For their life is limited and it may not grow.
For time is too short, but this we all know.
She dared to deny some man's proposal
As she did not love him; so she spoke her refusal.
But she's now pointed out as a woman of misery
For they still live in the nineteenth century.
Yet she did it at her own expence
She did not want anybody to be offenced
But they all soon followed the guess
That she is not to be trusted; and nothing less.
But how could she accept the matter
When she had her life before her?
Was it not appropriate to tell him
That it wasn't how it seemed?
Mr Darcy was odious and full of pride
And he did not even try to hide
Still he was the one whom she had thought
Unworthy of her affection. But he was not.
This letter that he's written to her
Has made the final move, and she surrendered
The words she said were not what she wanted them to be
"...But they reached his heart, and now I see!"
There, in her chamber, she quietly recovers from her sorrow
And she's soon convinced that by tomorrow,
Everyone will forget the chance she had, but did not let
Take the form of marriage, for she's Lizzy Bennet.



Inspired from Jane Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice'.

My Faith

The faith should hide behind the fear
But mine is not at least near
To that rightful state of cowardice
And I should have implied in this
A sudden want to change all these
But have I lost my faith? No, I have not
And I can actually say that I fought.

My faith was not driven away
By your insensitive turn of way
From that love of loving nothing
To your love of never stopping.
You thought I'd began thus dropping
But where am I? There, in pieces?
No, my faith still appeases
All that would make me fear, I feared
But not for long, for still I'm here.

Gone... Underneath

I said I would, I managed to form
An idea of what I could perform
And when I reached the point of no return
I dropped it and left it undone.

For now it is too late to matter
And my words cannot yet shatter
And I cannot recall, at least
When this world became a beast.

For now I stand below my place
-But I lie. It is not so late
To climb this wall, for now I wait
-I lie again. I have long begun.

For now I climb higher and I last
And hopefully will remain before the past
I end this pretty strangely
For I say the truth that powers me.
