Sometimes

I stop still
Frozen in time
where did it go
And will I ever get it back
Sometimes I feel like a lier
A fool playing at falling over
Unable to excape the twist of fate
The bloodyminded confessions
If you just stop
You can sometimes hear my heart beat
Or the ticking of the clock
Or the lies running around inside my head
But Im not even sure the lies are real
Maybe I do love you
Maybe im mistaken
When feelings of needing to be alone take over
When Im ment to phone
But I beg for a distraction
Because theres so much to do all the time
Children
Work
Friends
You
And thats where you are
At the bottem of the pile
Never pushing yourself up wards
Or forwards into my arms
You just sit and wait
For me to have the time
Sometimes I dont want to answer the phone
Sometimes when I manage to get
A moments peaceful breathe in life
I want to sit and write
I want to talk to people who aernt you
Im not sure if thats wrong or right
But I dont think you would like what goes
On inside my head
Sometimes I think about friends more than I think of you
Sometimes I feel more connected when Im bearing my soul in public
I have a feeling
And Im not sure
But I dont think its good
Frozen in time
I think too much sometimes

Insightful and very expressive. I particularly like the conversational style; the way it draws the reader into your stream of consciousness. The form makes a very interesting shape - it looks like a person standing with a head full of thoughts and words.
