i've got to help fix things.
Left sleepless tonight,
I wonder if I took away that chance.
I love you,
that is enough for us...
Before I always thought the worst,
now I am so afraid as a few days have passed...
Because...
We are a part,
you have my heart.
I hope I still have yours,
but maybe I hurt it too much...now not even close to something for sure.
I know now...
pushing you away was a big mistake.
Left sleepless tonight,
tell me I haven't created something...that will forever push you and I away.
I love you,
you said it's never too late...
Then why as I write this,
do I feel like it's all too late?

is what I chose.
Because I no longer know what else to call this anymore.
How many times?
Will I let you in,
have you break my heart...
over and over,
again.
I love you,
but cannot forgive.
I would love to believe,
but it's too late this time.
You could never be with me,
just me.
There's always something else...
someone else?
No more,
this pain has taken over for too long.
The whole time we should of been happy,
each time another a piece of my heart you had been collecting.
Congrads my love,
you have it all.
Now as tears fall,
I know you are in another world...
Without me,
all I do...think of a world w

when I feel you can no longer be my escape?
The pain,
makes a part of me want to escape...you.
My serenity,
sweet escape.
You make me forget everthing,
but how can I forget how you made me feel?
Where do i go,
when you have escaped what I felt was our own sacred world?
The pain,
there's a part of me you escape to...that isn't me.
My chaos,
my prison.
I keep replaying those memories,
you just don't know how you make me feel.
Now,
where to?
I don't know...
every direction leads me back to...you, do I escape?

You're supposed to be my saviour,
darling.
It seems we've both
figured this shit out
a little too late.
You would have
sunk the ship a
hell of a lot sooner.
And I would have jumped
just as fast.
Only
you didn't
And
I didn't.
And now we're both sitting
down at the bottom.
Drowned
and barely dead.
Eagle's LullabyA tree stands by the water’s edgeEagle's Lullaby5 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Tall and proud and strong
And on a limb there sits a nest
And from this nest a song
It doesn’t sound like much at first
Just chirps and squeaks and cries
But listen closely and you’ll hear
A tale from the skies
It all begins with two young chicks
At their parents’ side
Learning all they need to know
To live and to survive
Fly high and free, and eagle says
Take every chance to dive
Eat many fish so you will grow
And proudly you will thrive
As great bald eagles you are seen
As symbols of a nation
Power, honor, strength we have
Also determination
We have survived througho

She's got you around her little finger,
And she's twisting your world…as she tears it apart, holding a little globe in her hand.
You don't even see it,
As your heart is captivated by hers.
She holds you so tightly,
As everyone around you, but you sees…
She's taking the life out of you,
Every smile you have…
Every chance to be free,
She's there destroying you...your everything.

She's got you around her little finger,
And shes twisting your world…as she spins the little globe in her hand, she tears it apart.

Prayer to the Moon Show me beautyPrayer to the Moon4 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
I don't get in the day
Give me hope
I lack in the sun
Give me company
as my world sleeps
Teach me silence
no one takes
Listen to words
I've never spoken
Don't reply
to questions answered
Allow thoughts
as much as dreams
Give light
when no one wants to see

I'd like to ask everyone a question, and I want you to give an honest answer... not to me, but to yourself.
If someone is keeping a secret from you, is that not a very good indication that they are trying to do something unpleasant to you, or trying to accomplish something you would not like?
Think about it... if they are not "up to something" and if that "something" isn't something bad for you, why would they wish to keep it secret from you?
I personally believe it is perfectly safe to say, that anytime somebody is keeping you in the dark, it MUST be for nefarious p

ECHOING LOVE
A fluttering tear
Floats, so softly it descends
From my weary eye.
Raindrops mixing with
Fleeting subtle lilac scent,
I sense, wistfully.
Your whispering breath,
Like lost memories of yore,
I hear it, alone.
Satin touch, feeling
Like the sound of deep sweet blues,
I long for it now.
Sad, aching, I seek
The laughter once in our hearts,
Wishing you were here.

Have you ever felt like nothing you do or say matters?
Have you ever just wanted to give up?
Have you ever felt that sometimes life wasn't worth living?
I will honestly say, "I have."
In this life we walk there will be many trials and tribulations that we will bare. Some will be the hardest things we will ever have to go through and some will not be as bad.
Some of these trials and tribulations will scar our very hearts and burn themselves into our memories forever. Some of them will only be a blur after passing.
Some of us sit and worry and wonder where the next dollar will come from, the next bite of food will come fro
RegretSound of limb,Regret1 year ago in Free Verse More Like This
A fruitcake,
Dig the slaughter of my thoughts.
A dance of destruction,
Measured and macabre.
I'll be the resurrection of hope
For a second,
Then leave you cowed and bleeding.
Love - drained,
A punctured heart.
Skipping beats to a broken rhythm,
A rhythm of regret.
Walking Down The Row Walking down the row, no one startled me, except one somber face. The face burrowed in the shadows had no look of particular interest; it was the hand that had caught my attention. The battered knuckle on the right made me cautious, fearful of the man. The scars across his wrist showed danger, and strength. As his fingers brushed a wisp of hair from his forehead, I noticed a white scar above his right eye. I watched the swift movements he made with his hands while he talked. He spoke with anger and regret. This man, a stranger really, asked for my forgiveness. Not much, just an informal way to give him satisfaction. Three words is all he nWalking Down The Row1 year ago in Short Stories More Like This
As If Seeing Angels The small girl smiles up at the sky, as if seeing angels for the first time. Her hand rises to touch the heavens, but only grabs air. She is waiting, waiting for a miracle, something to save, and take her away. The chill in the air makes her cheeks bright, and her toes numb. She holds her breath quietly as she feels the warm touch of her mother upon her face. She glances down and stays quiet as she thinks. she ponders her thoughts, and pulls the grass beneath her fingers. Then slowly as snow begins to fall, the small girl smiles up at the sky, as if seeing angels for the first time.As If Seeing Angels1 year ago in Short Stories More Like This

curious dance steps
on each others feet
will learn this pattern
will learn the rhythm
swaying together
half a step behind all the time
only forging half a step ahead
meeting half way together
perfect counterparts
light and dark combine
bitter-sweet as the heart beats
in time and together
surging rapids form
pure energy courses
of divine light and love
calling all to join
link arm and arm
forming a great thread
of cosmic change
reminding one and all
the truth we often miss
we are all in this together
now and always
join with your others
together we gain strength
together we are
what effects one

my heart away
no more play
for another day
it is out now
and truth rings
as we go along
playing out dreams
holding each other
ever so close
as we wind our way
through the ages
one half of another
we complete at last
finding the better
parts of ourselves
in one another
touching through
the fabric of dreams
where things are
not quite what
they seldom seem
a quick kiss
before the alarm
and waking reclaims
our special world
with one another
and we awaken
in each others arms
as we were meant to be
Flow speak TransferNothing ever fits here in this place so dreary,Flow speak Transfer2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
Banging drumming to the beat of an unseen hit,
nothing seems to matter in this day here in this place,
nonsense spouts supreme through the threads of time,
Veins covering the pages with a deep red wine,
Restrictions of what we say or do keeps my lips tightened,
to what I feel needs to be said slamming down this or that,
no thanks for that I'm out.

not to be seen again
they left their marks
deep in my heart
so will hold onto that
all I have left to hold
the memories
will have to suffice
until and unless
they come round again
you will be remembered
have no fear of that
your spot will always
be there in my heart
a day or thousand years
you will live on
in my thoughts
in my heart
as my friend
Reaching for the RainAlone in the rainReaching for the Rain2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
as the heavens cry
waiting for you
waiting is all I ever do
the rain soaks me
and roars from the sky
I wish I could feel renewed
cleaned and released
but still all these stick
to me like the raindrops
and the tears I cry
lifting upwards
reaching for rain
I want to feel the same
just glide along above
ride with the clouds
leave all this behind me
nothing left here
only forward and up
can I go
and I will see you again
but will wait no more
Change of HeartWords whisperedChange of Heart2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
misunderstood
and explosions
tearing the foundations
ripping lovers apart
happens far more
than it really should
when things turn
and loyalty changes
for mixed messages
and a venom
running in the veins
how love cools
and turns to pain
where no one wins
and things change
thought it would last
thought it was meant to be
but things happen
just like to you and me
Long CrawlThe night crawls onLong Crawl2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
sluggish through the mists
no light no warmth
just a missing piece
lost in the ages
tauntingly close
still so far away
just another heart beat
another breath
jagged and uneven
uncertain steps
towards that edge
don't look down
dizzying heights abound
still nowhere to be found
and just as dawn approaches
we will kiss and say goodnight
after making it through
the long crawl of the night

and it is time to move
quickly quickly quickly!
not a moment to lose!
Just breathe

as just another bit

torn from our own
and deposited
where are we now
where will we go
Fighting the good fight
against shadows
in the night
Drawn together
Torn apart
Will we be?
Forever separate
Reaching back
Electric touch
Fate in a feeling
from your fingers
How will we ever be
left to our own devices
If we let go
will we ever come back
and do what Heaven wants?
