Pictures

Picture perfect women, splashed across the screen.
What makes them so much more than me?
The plastic smiles are more enticing then the
Smile I smile to see your face. You say it's not
That I'm not enough, but why then do you leave
Me alone to go to them. Your word doesn't count
When your actions tell the truth. You care more
For them.

Shine

Half a heart seeking the whole.
Born to love, taught to fear.
My time to shine shall never
Come. One long wait in eternal Night.
Who was sent to receive my
Devotion? My eyes are dry from long years
Of mourning. When is my time to
Draw near to Him who is my other
Half.
