Once Dear FriendI think I have finally come to terms with the fact that I have lost someone who used to be very dear to me.Once Dear Friend7 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
I was in denial for a while...I kept making excuses for her.
The first month...Well, maybe she has been really busy....
The second...maybe she lost my phone number...
Then the third...maybe something's wrong, maybe I should call around to try and find her...
So I did.
And, finally, I heard her voice over the phone.
I was so happy.
But I quickly realized something I never thought would happen, something that hurt more than anything else.
Her voice was...what was that I was hearing?
She was...annoyed...angry.
And she hung
Sealed with a KissToday, I felt the impulse again.Sealed with a Kiss2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
I heard the soft, enticing words
of an old "friend"
urging me back to a place I tried to forget,
calling up dusty memories
of blood, tears, and regrets.
Like an addict given the chance to score
I wanted it so bad.
I thought "Just once more-
I've done well for so long, and no one would know..."
I'll admit, I was weak.
I came very, very close.
But then I remembered a promise, sealed with a kiss
to never, ever again,
do something like this.
I thought not of me, but what you'd say instead-
It would kill you to know
the thoughts now in my head.
Something snapped, and I pushed those thoughts aw

what there is left of me,
but it's such a mess-
and frankly, not too pretty.
And I don't really think
that you would like to see
what's going on
inside my mind-
I'm probably half crazy.
I am beyond repair.
Look- read my lips:
Dammit! Just stop trying!
I KNOW I can't be fixed.
Why do you ignore
all my angry words?
Please, just go away.
I don't want m-
I mean you-
to get hurt.
I can't understand-
why won't you leave?
But, you know, deep down inside,
it might be that I'm relieved.
Because, when I see you,
I think I want to smile.
And it feels...
well, rather nice.
I guess it's been quite a while.

Its better to of loved and lost
Than never to of loved at all
Thats what they say
But with the way I am feeling
I say forget this stuff today
You only live once so why let things go
Is it just me or can time never move slow
Some things in life are worth fighting for
And in some cases even dieing for
This pain inside I cannot hide
Just take a look into my eyes
You will see I cannot forget those nights
Every second of laughter fading into the lights
Every look at your face and touch of your lips
The times we shared I can never forget
Sometimes in my Life I cannot seem to find the words
But please know this, I'd give my lif

Alone i am and destined to be
My hate for myself, thats all that is me
I ask for your love but get clouded lights
Sometimes i wonder if its just me, or does love just bite?
To the world I'm alone and depressed i will be
I do what i can but you see right through me
I don't know what to do to fix what is wrong
All my hopes, dreams, and love have all long gone
Please give me a sign, some kind of light
I don't know how much longer i can keep up this fight
The end of the tunnel is no where in sight
Deep down i have fallen, perhaps this is right
Fallen i am, and fallen ill be...
I wish you would come and save me...

It fell from the sky, bleeding
orange and red into the clouds.
It was morbidly beautiful but left me with
tears in my eyes, remembering
the warm glow it used to give my skin.
Tiny goose bumps began to invade my skin,
and I was left with the distant memories of today.
In fact they will soon be yesterday, and remembering
that concept has left my heart bleeding.
The moon is out now, and with
shiny eyes I look up to the clouds.
Without me noticing they morphed into silver clouds,
giving a greyish glow to my cool skin.
I was frozen, mesmerized with
the orb shaped promise of tomorrow, today

BreakingIt's almost poetic, the way we break ourselves.Breaking3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
We cleave apart our deeper problems,
(like a butcher with a fresh pig)
until they are chewable and soft.
These mouthfuls we attack with starved gusto,
but in the end
even from these morsels
we all flee.
We run, like broken rain from a hungry sun,
and we grab onto our little victories of running away,
our not-dealing-with way of overcoming our too sliding lives.
We tell ourselves things like
tomorrow
later
soon
these words that are nothing, that we KNOW are nothing,
we use as goals too impossible to reach.
And we know this.
And we revel in it.
We crave it like a drug,

None knew what they wanted to hear,

Such tactics were commonplace, and almost accepted
For to point the finger was desired

As the inexplicable failure of understanding.

For men as entangled in their conceits
And heart-felt beliefs as this.
