She wasn’t a pearl,
Smooth, soft like satin.
She never tried to be anything but what
She was, and that was what made
Her just as alluring.
She wasn’t a liar.
She would always tell you
In the Gloaming, oh my Darling
Did we dance beside the River?
In the Gloaming, oh my Darling,
It seemed to last forever.
In the Gloaming, my Darling
How was I to know?
It's the little things that plague my mind.
Like the way your eyes crinkle when you smile
or the way you laugh after a bad joke.
The way your hand fit perfectly in mine
The salt stings my eyes,
As tears blur my vision.
But I refuse to let them fall.
The skin on my palms now covered wih little crescent moons,
As the fear of losing you becomes real
The salt stings my eyes,
As tears blur my vision.
But I refuse to let them fall.
The skin on my palms now covered wih little crescent moons,
As the fear of losing you becomes real
i will never wish for you to come back.
or even to visit.
i will only spare my love and all good energy,
but keep it at a distance.
Life is so unsettled
Oftimes it is this way
Goodbyes are the hardest
Of things we have to say
-
And as we get older
Our love ones gather near
Goodbyes become harder
But time together dear
Flower child:
child of a flower child
and you've let your thorns grow wild
and I want to know why
Flower child,
was it something that I said?
Know that I wish I were dead
Dear Dad,
Sometimes I wish I never met you.
1,000 miles used to be the only distance,
But now we're quite through.
And yet, I still think about your existence.
Quietness swept the nation.
The only noise that could be heard was a small ringing sound.
No one talked.
And no one cried.
They just walked.
No to the DBQs.
No to the dialecticals.
No to the derivatives.
No more.
No to the research projects,
the industrial revolution, and
activation energies.
No more.
In the cold, dead of winter night,
through the highest maple branches,
on the wind whistling through the air,
rides a song full of tears.
Cries of the innocent,
the guilties fears,
Do you remember that night?
When you and I lay on that couch,
That couch with stains from different nights,
And you said you’d never live my side,
Come rain come shine?
With heavy feet, I treadForcing myself to my bedI lay on my backBreath in and outAttempting not to focus on what I lack
In my dream,
My friend knew his time was coming.
This 26 year old young man
He had just visited the hospital for a checkup
And the doctor had diagnosed him with a disease
So many people going away. So many people going separate ways. Long friends, having to make amends. Great memories; Now having to say goodbye. Trying to stay strong and not cry.
theres no good in good byes simply say hello,
strong feelings can become shallow while most hold on ot let go,
bewitherd in its silence, the silence begins to echo,
Painful infatuation
The only escape is
Transcendence of the human situation
Finding love, illusory promises of elation
I reach into the shadows and my hand touches your face,
Every single line of yours my fingers pretend to trace,
I wonder - could this torture last forever?
My love, I'm seeking you in shadows,
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.
Cool autumn day spent
Sun setting
Sick with regret.
Disintegrating will
In overwhelming quiet
Departure inevitable
Pressing together
Embracing the future, skeptical
My Hero

And no matter how much I tried, the blood dripped down…
there was a time when i sat in her kitchen.
i ate cookie dough straight out of the bowl.
and She did too
i explored every topic of conversation.
and at the end of the night,
remember when I first said hi?
we were smiling in a stinky middle school band room,
a layer of spit over the carpet and our words
because first hellos are never sincere.
Sure, there's tons of things in life that aren't fair,Like no one being equal, despite what everyone "fights" for,
I. You write him a postcard. "I don't know how to tell you but I'm finally letting go," it says. The postcard is from Paris and when you finish writing it, you slide it back into the drawer with all the other words you never said.
Saying goodbye is never easyIt always comes sooner than we intendThey make our insides uneasyBecause we don't know when the missing will stop and decend
Here I sit on this white chair,
Watching my friends just be themselves;
Wondering when I'll see them again;
The last glance is always the heaviest. Even though you'd stared at the concrete front steps thousands of times as you stepped your feet up them one, two, three.
We have had memories ,
in this garden
now it is time for me to erase
and start all over again
from this day on,
I'm just a visitor,
just visiting.
it wasn't a perfect one,
A cry for help seems to come from deep inside of me. What am I supposed to do, what am I supposed to be? Time is running out and I'll be running all around. Fitting in my time before you lift up off the ground. You are leaving and not coming back,
In a blink of an eye,you never know when to expect a goodbye.It's amazing how people come and go,as winter ends and flowers begin to grow.We're never prepared for when someone walks away,
He wasn’t the first, and wouldn’t be the last.
Once again I put my heart on the line.
I didn’t think about what you would go through,
I wanted him, I needed him.
Within two weeks I was alone again,
I wonder what it takes to see,
Into and through what i know is me.
How could i be so reckless,
Be so willing to be insecure and not end this?
Is it possible to act the part but not fake the smile?
A bird taking flight
Is what I will feel
A string on me tightly
None to my appeal
My thoughts blow me away
From true friends to miss
I feel I’m halfway
Gone from the great kiss
Alas,
Hear the stars that twinkle above me
And hasten the moon to sing
And glide o'er the branded sky
Such sweet sorrow and endless abyss as never seen
And awaken me dawn!
You left me to chase the girl you believed was super cool.
Too bad you were wrong and she made you the fool.
Then you were desperate and went for the girl who was easy,
Only to be used and forever deemed sleazy.
(poems go here) We weren’t really sure what to pick for our project at first. After going over the list of topics we decided to go with security on the border.
Linda,
I know everything’s going really fast!
Just don’t worry about the past,
the future’s going to be a blast!
Congratulations on graduating!
Now it’s time to do some navigating.
Love is like a sunset, the bittersweet moments
of when the sun says goodbye to the world
It’s how the colors of the sky turn with it’s benevolence
Like your heart when that beau caught your eyes dream-world
