that we've lived
intersections of lives
and crossing of lines
can't escape the fate
for its what you've made
and everything calls you back
from yesterday.

Never Coming Back Her hair whipped around her face as she stood at the edge of the precipice, the gulls screaming above and the waves crashing below. There would be no turning back. This she knew.Never Coming Back4 years ago in General Fiction More Like This
She turned slowly and made her way back to the path that wound down to the beach. Her past was gone, the present was fading, the future...well, the future held nothing but the gray haziness of pain. There had been passion. Once upon time; but no longer.
He left her in her pain and her misery. When she needed him the most, he left, never coming back. She knew from the beginning that it wasn't going to last, but she tricked herself, deceived herself into

catch your breath, hold the sight

push on ahead, never looking back

keep driving on, fight this thing until you've won

you'll break me down and turn around
tell me not to even try lest i fall and break
that you're just waiting for your chance
to reach inside, take all of me, leaving nothing behind.
i say they're blind, i'll never push you away
they'll never see what i find in you that makes me want to stay
passion and painPassion is now but strife just around the cornerpassion and pain4 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
Slinking closer, the tendrils of its presence precede it
The building tension peaks and I have to wonder
If the cataclysm of pain isn't the same as passion.
Tears, tears of anger dripping down my face
The rain of sweet love that's become twisted
Blood, the blue blood that flows red
That bleeds heavy and hot for you
Sweetest touches, slowly, lingering
Whispers of softness
Tearing through me, ripping me apart
Breaking my heart.
sad clownYou say you only hear the sounds of madnesssad clown4 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
With a rare, soft, quietly spoken word of love
Agony, pain, depression, death and sadness
Are the voices of your world
You spin your webs and crooked lies
That I don't believe and can see behind
What they really are and pretend to be
Nothing more than a mask...a facade
To keep you safe from the hurt and pain
Duck around the walls to glimpse your soul
That part of it that you can't help but let me see
Don't push me away, loving you is where I want to be.

Hello Lonely...It's lonely nights like theseHello Lonely...4 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
That I'm in my bed
Wrapped up in my blankets
Cuddling with my teddy bear
And I wish that it was you.
That sweet love song
We like to sing
Playing in my headphones
And I try to keep
The tears from falling.
I know you wouldn't want me to be sad...
But I'm so lonely tonight...
And maybe, just maybe
If I imagine hard enough I can feel...
Your arms wrapped about me
Your warm breath on my skin
And your heartbeat next to mine.
beware the story-book wolvesthe darkness creeps closerbeware the story-book wolves4 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
the tendrils of sickly yellow light
wrap their fingers around consciousness
squeezing out the dregs of last emotions
trapped in the walls of the mind, never to escape
a presence of something taking over
its malevolent designs still unknown
wanting to break down, take over, control, and own
tears can't fall, stifled by terror and fear
choking on bitter bile that threatens to rise
dominated by horror, assaulted by strain
try to cast away the inner ghosts that ensnare
take captive every living thought and soul
a mind warped by tension and pain
beware the story-book wolves...
Comedy Of ErrorsHow it begins:Comedy Of Errors4 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
A hook,
A pull,
A grasp,
Suddenly, you are entranced.
Assaulting your senses,
Vivid description.
A climax,
A crunch,
A catastrophe,
Amazingly, here is the end.
A death,
A decline
Insanity, of course.
Affecting your emotions,
Lives played out on a page.
Isn't tragedy just a fatal comedy of errors?
Our Farewell...A handful of photographsOur Farewell...4 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
A memory of a smile
A resounding laugh that lingers
An embrace of warmth and love
A dream of a different ending
A wish of happier times
A hope of another meeting
A loss of your beautiful life
A week of crying myself to sleep
A month or two or more of numbness
A year of missing you
And there are more yet to come
I never thought it could happen,
That that day would come so soon,
That I'd never get to say goodbye
And I am missing you,
For this is our final farewell.

Washing all this away
Cleansing my soul
Of sorrow and pain
The heaviness finally dispelling
I think I can breathe
Your presence still lingers
But no longer oppressive
Your warmth surrounds me
Even though you are gone.
So many pages have stains
Black streaks of running ink
From all the tears I've hidden.
As the seasons change so slowly
So life runs the same
I wish time would stop
So I could stay here forever
Lost in this happiness, this peace
That I have finally caught a glimpse of.
I still miss you, wish you were here
But you're not and life still spins
Weaving it's tangled webs around me
But at least

but i just can't seem to be able to find it
no matter how hard i look, it always escapes
its not as black and white, not so clear cut
as everyone wants me to believe
i thought i might have had found the light
then you came, now i'm confused again
i don't know what to think, don't know what to feel
all i know is that i want to feel real
but this is the bitter taste of failure
and just another hollow hallelujah

I could see things, hear things, sense things, feel things that no one else could. Things that no one else even knew existed. It was also then that my nightmares changed. Instead of drowning in pools of water, I was now drowning in oceans of blood. Instead of being chased by dinosaurs I was now being attacked by rotting corpses. It seemed inconspicuous enough, I doubt that anyone else suspected. The sirens I heard, the dogs barking, the people, the evil pr
