Painted On SmileShe’s beautiful as can bePainted On Smile4 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
Her eyes read your soul
And her soul fills your heart
You can’t breathe without her
Don’t want to live without her
Completion is her game
Her smile fulfills the same
But there’s something wrong
With her painted on smile
Broken deep inside
And plastered with perfection
What’s hidden beneath
Can bring you to tears
But you’ll never see it
No, you’ll never really know
She gets strength from her smile
Safety in just making it
The stars are her dreams
Scattered and far away
But brilliantly they light her night
And when she closes her eyes
And her smile fades
The onl
End SceneThe curtain closes andEnd Scene4 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
the scene fades to grey
all the actors with their painted on faces
go their separate ways
The illusion of happiness
Fades to an empty stage
Where floorboards collect dust
And the furniture is a cage
It holds the memories of yesterday
And the new pages of tomorrow
The laughter, smiles and hopes
But it can not hold the sorrows
For the fear and desperation is much
And the eminent pain foreboding
When you can hardly see where you’ve been
And you can not see where you’re going
The MeThe me you see is strongThe Me4 years ago in Open More Like This
I don’t bend
And I can’t break
I smile for your pleasure
So you don’t feel my pain
The me you see is beautiful
Beyond normal comprehension
Easily finalized
Never final
A beauty for only your eyes to see
The me you see is powerful
Beyond your wildest dreams
I can make things happen
And prevent them
Without your understanding
The me you love
Has more heart than you’ll know
More dedication than you’ll understand
More ambition than you can create
And I love you all the same
The me you think you know
Is who you want me to be
Manifested in your mind
And fabricated in my being
No One Ever StaysPeople comeNo One Ever Stays4 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
And people go
But no one ever stays
I know no other way to live
But fully and completely
But no one ever stays
Brighter stars are sought
More vivid rainbows
No one ever stays
Lessons are learned
And hearts are healed
Ready to move on
To find another
To love another
And I am here
Alone
No one ever stays
But what is underneath
When someone takes the time
To learn
To uncover
Will blow someone’s mind
The love that is held inside
Is dying to burst free
But no one ever stays
To see the final act
Intermission is a better time to leave
Before the fireworks
Before the climax
The resolution
Never becomes
Without MeYour world keeps on turningWithout Me4 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
Feeling better with every step
So happy to hear you smile
So sure that you’ll find happiness
My world has stopped moving
I don’t know where to turn
My smile is only temporary
This is something only I know
I’m glad you’ve got your freedom
I know it’s something that you need
I can’t keep you chained down
That’s painfully obvious now
Go and find your smile
Seek whatever it is you need
I’ll always love you with all I have
You’ll always look for something less…….

It is true love
For the first time
Feels like the first kiss
Every time
Intense passion
In a passing glance
Two strangers
On separate paths
Colliding head on
New directions
Together
Growth and learning
Time spent
And time longing
My love for you
Involves great risk
But it's a risk
I must take
My heart beats for you
Yearns for your touch
Needs your kiss
To survive
Walk AwayWalk awayWalk Away4 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
I am strong
I can do this without you
I don't need you
Not that vulnerable
I refuse to believe
I've let you in that close
Walk away
I am independent
You were merely a bonus
I can breathe without you
I can live on my own
You were just an addition
Not completion
Walk away
The world will continue to turn
Life will go on as expected
My smile will still shine
As I slowly die inside

AngerWhy do you demand so muchAnger4 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
And not notice when I deliver?
Why do you ask my opinion
When nothing really matters?
I love you
But I am tired of being your doormat
Find someone else to walk on
Because I am done
I will walk away before you know what happened
And never look back
And I will only be stronger for the situation
While you will fall apart in my memory
I hold you together
In ways you'll never understand
But you'll be sorry when I'm gone
Continue to disregard me
And there will be nothing you can do to keep me here
I am screaming at the top of my lungs
Someone listen to me
I am fighting by myself
Someone stand beside m

I Am AloneAs the full moon rises in the night skyI Am Alone4 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
My heart aches to feel you
Although I know somewhere in time
You are with me
You feel so far away
And I am alone
Just one breath of you
To fulfill me until morning comes
To send me into dreamland
Where you and I are one
Just one kiss to make me safe
A lingering glance to know I'm home
But I am alone
This is my path, my course
I know that one day I will find you
And the sun will never set on our love
Until then I know you're out there
Somewhere waiting for me too
I know I'll love you
I know you're there
But in this moment, I am alone
