We’re a couple of listeners
Listening to each other
Not speaking much
I try to fill this silence
I thought it bothered you
I treasured you; you're all that I knew at one point in time.
I gave you all of me and then some, down to my last dime.
For years I have always feared my past
The one man who shaped who am
Today for I am someone who will last
And stay strong
I have never thought about ever moving on
I was disappointed with who I came from
I noticed you,
Walk with her this morning,
Hand in hand
She’s very pretty,
Match your own beauty
Who is she?
Is she the last person you think,
Before you go to sleep?
Anxiety stirs my stomach like a lost ship at sea.
I have no control
which way the wind is blowing.
I'm alone.
You were mean it was kind.
Water, water on the floor pulling me down where is the door?
Who will save me from my sins, protect me from the demons within?
A million boys have already tried, and inside they got damaged and fried,
"The important thing in life is to let the years carry us along." Federico Garcia Lorca, Yerma"
This evening I press my ear to your chest,
hear the ocean's waves and laughing gulls
We met in the wrong time
We connected in the wrong time,
We bonded in the wrong time,
We hugged in the wrong time,
She felt the pressure
Of a world being taken from her
Everything she knew
Was disappearing
Dear My Faded Doves, At first, I thought I couldn't do it. But I did. At first, I thought it would be too painful. And it was.But I did it. I did it.
Almost forgot
To write
About you
Could it be
You’re too far?
Or maybe you’ve gone
As fast as morning dew
Forgot to tell
Of the time of us
You and I
I owe you one.
Broken heart, Broken heart please heal one more time,
You probably don't see it but your worth more than a dime.
You ask time to let you shine, but I'm pretty sure You'll be fine!,
Maybe it was the way she took care
of me with love, as if I would break
Maybe it was the way she would tend my clothes with such willingness,
allthough being sick
You look Into my eyes and I can see the scorn grow on your face like the darkness onto day
you look at me, but it's not me who you see
you see the a man
a man who you no longer know
Morning, its your wake up call,
Don't fall back asleep, you might not get another chance,
This might make you want to get up and just dance,
Rewards don't just come, don't just glance,
I wish I could share
with you
the euphoria I get when
I’m really,
really high
on life.
It feels as if I’m apart from my body.
It’s like a million birds singing with me,
Have it your way.
Or instead, let’s do it my way.
Leaving you, to suffer, to fail, and
To die.
Leaving you to run into your own
Enigmatic maze.
Breathe in
Breathe out
The exhale is a gust
blowing the pain of depression out
Bulimia catch the tale wind leave me please
No you bring me
right back to the beginning
Momma don't drink
Grasping his cold, calloused hand tightly,
My throat squeezed itself even tighter.
I looked up with cloudy eyes and fading hope.
His eyes glazing with his own tears, he said my name.
You don't appreciate it till it's gone
gone from your grasp and gone from your heart
You will never have the chance
42
Jackie Robinson's fist clasped in anger
From the darkness of confusion
His eyes wept pain
From the tireless ashes of death.
My love you have grown,
my love you have shown,
shown that you are fine without me.
My dear you stay sweet,
my dear you're on your own two feet,
experiencing a world without me.
Perhaps you can see,
How perfect you are for me,
Even though you are taken.
You’re one of a kind,
Although to me you are blind,
It is obvious how much you love her.
Focus.
Stop.
Think.
Escape.
The World fades.
I implode.
A sensory overload, only within the mind
The place where privacy is unconditional
No cost; not a dime
My sweet escape
No matter what,
I will never forget the first time
we kissed.
Walking together on a trail,
completely captivated,
waiting for the perfect opportunity
to make time stop.
The best memories we have, are the ones we've made here, they've helped us live life, and we need to keep them near.
What evil could take a loved one?
Who would dare shed innocent blood?
It is this evil I fear, but it is
Far too late he has captured me.
We've been through ups and downs
through laughter and some tears,
you've seen how my heart and brain
have been when filled with fear.
An act I can't evade
Run my finger across the blade
Slowly walk over to my prey
Close my eyes and pray
Choke the handle, begin to attack
Crack
Rising from the somber ash
Burning brightly toward extinction
Pyres pale against its shadow
Exalted for its penchant for resilience
Fire
That’s what it feels like when I close my eyes
I feel like my mind and my body are just going to burn up
Melt away
I can’t stand this!
It’s been six years
Six years of living in this Hell
"Oh dearest, my sweetest!
You must tell me now,
What causes the furrows
A-rest on your brow?"
And I say, "I prithee our time do meet soon,
To the time when forget-me-nots bloom,
Correct me if i'm wrong But didn't we have something special? Something that was sweet and nice and long? Lasted a few years but over in seconds neither of us wanted it to end but we gave up dont you rememeber how this went?
I'm lost in blue underneath this waining moon,
Just thinking of you and all the thoughts pool,
Wishing I could see through,
All the insanity I let you go through,
And let it go.
Sick and tired of playing the victim;I have shown myself to be unconquerable.Though my pace has been slowed, I'll never give in,I am unstoppable.Because through all the pain,the heartache, and the tears,
I don't wake up crying anymore. And I'm through trying.
It's not that I've been lying.
But you don't keep me up at night like you used to.
And when the sun shines through my blinds I no longer
Who you were
It seems so long ago
that you gave him to her
It seems so far away
Yet, I feel inclined to infer
it was a very sad day
The one in which you went away
Through writing I can allow my words to come out freely,
the walls that shut me in can come down.
I feel the pressure leaving,
like a screeching teapot
taken off the flame.
I see what I write,
Sparks had caught,
Heavy love arose,
Time traveled away,
A rift then grows.
Flames lick the corridors
of my soul,
Warming me up,
Then burning me whole.
Maybe there are icicles on your tongue
maybe your tonsils are the poles
maybe you can't help the bitter frostbitten breath you bark at me.
As the days go on and the nights go by
I can’t think of anything else to do,
So I sit here and cry.
After my bubble bath
I lie on my bed naked
In a pure form
For I know that this body is mine
And no one else may have it unless I will it
The future is bright for some and dark for others
See We Live in a life full of judgmental people
We try to do good in a world filled with evil
We all fall but some don't get back up
My dear Tyler Klein you changed my life. though our time together was cut as if by a knife. I can honestly say I am a better person because of you. Any time anyone needed anything, you were there, you'd always come through.
