Sleep is my best friend
I can hide in my dreams
No one can hurt me
I'm safe
Protected from the world
When I awake
The sun of the new day
Tries to trick me
Into believing today will be the day
The day for what?
Love, happiness, success
It never comes
So I go back to sleep
I can't be fooled anymore
Take those pills
Make it permanent
Yes, bliss is mine
Forever
GailForceWinds Dec 2014
I woke up on the hard concrete
I was lying face down
Gravel stuck to my cheek
How did I get here?
My mind started to race
Fear swallowed me alive
I wanted to run, I wanted to hide
I picked myself up
Looked all around
No one was there
I could not hear a sound
It was cold and dark
Dreary and damp
In the distance I saw the lamp
I dragged my body to it
Turned on the light
What I saw was a horrifying sight!
Dead bodies hanging, like sides of beef
Some bodies looked fresh, others were bones
I need to escape, I need to get home
There is no door, no way to leave
The stench is overwhelming, it’s getting harder to breath
Then I see you
Standing there
Fire in your eyes, long straggly hair
You come closer
I have nowhere to go
I’ll be hanging here too, and no one will know

The library was open
She sat there alone
Surrounded by books
Some authors unknown
This was her escape
The land of the greats
She lived through these books
They gave her a life
She hid in her safe place
And read until they closed
Then went to her shelter
And dreamt of what they wrote
Only sixteen
But homeless for years
No parents, no family
She ran out of tears
She dreamed of the characters
The authors brought to life
Becoming them
Kept her going one more night
GailForceWinds Mar 2015
I woke up this morning feeling peaceful
For the first time in years
Not anxiety, no trembling tears

No memories haunting me from the past
I wonder if this feeling will finally last

I’ve been through a great deal
Of sorry and pain
Darkness I never want to repeat again

I’ve done my sentence
I’ve paid my dues
I’ve given up the drugs and deadly *****

It’s time to live, start new and fresh
I’ve lost a plenty of years, I’m now ready for the best
GailForceWinds Feb 2015
Here I lie awake again
I know it's only 2 am
what could be wrong with me
I just want to live and be

Something keeps waking me up
My mind won't stop thinking of you
Ever since our big breakup

Will I ever sleep again?
I can't blame you, it's me my friend
I broke up with you one final time
No getting you back, you're no longer mine
GailForceWinds Oct 2014
Why is it called a broken heart....
My heart is still beating, is it not?
I am still breathing, as I wipe the tears from my cheek...
The pain is overwhelming ...  
I cannot catch my breath...  
I cannot stop shaking...
I cannot stop crying...
There is no relief, no escape...
What is happening...
Is my heart still beating?  Do I want it to be.....  
Will I ever be whole again...
GailForceWinds Jan 2015
I'm done giving my heart away
I'm always ready to jump at the first thing they say
I'm lonely and desperate
But would rather be alone
I'm tired of waiting endlessly by the phone
It's time I take my life back
Mend my heart
Pet the cat
It's not so bad being single again
I'm not alone, I have my friends
It's better than being torn apart
Over and over again
My poor broken heart
GailForceWinds Jan 2015
Darkness surrounds me
Like a room filled with black smoke
I cannot see, I cannot breathe
Did I die?
I don't feel alive
I feel no emotion
Neither happy or sad
I no longer feel pain
I no longer feel bad
What's happened to me
I've lost my soul
I can't crawl out
Of this deep dark hole
I'm still and lifeless
Just make my brain stop
There is nothing left of me
Except a broken heart
GailForceWinds Dec 2014
Take me away
To a faraway place
Another town
Another state
I want to move on
But I’m so stuck here
Memories of you, everywhere
The memories will haunt me wherever I go
But I’m sure that’s something you already know
How could you leave me
The way that you did
You could have been honest
Instead you ran and hid
I’ll never have closure
On this love affair
My heart is broken
And continues to tear
GailForceWinds Jan 2015
I'm not a bad person
I'm just confused
Tied and sad from being abused

I wasn't beaten, starved or locked up
But what I went through has surely been enough

I am trying to climb out above the rubble
I trip and fall and sometimes stumble

Please bear with me while I put my life back together again
I truly need the love of a friend
GailForceWinds Jan 2015
You promised me the world
Once your wife died
You couldn't wait for that day
So we could start new on our own way

Now she is gone, and so is my lover
But where are you
Hiding beneath the covers

You thought you were losing me
Maybe you were
I left him for you
Though you were still with her

I'll never know if it could have worked out with him
You came swooping through and ******* up my life again

Where are you now?
You cannot commit
I left him for you
And now I have ****!
GailForceWinds Jan 2015
I cannot see
I can’t make a sound
I lie here naked on the hard frozen ground
Wondering if I’ll ever be found
How did I get here?
I have no idea
I hardly remember that last sip of beer
That is when the blackout began
I do vaguely remember a tall handsome man
The last thing I remember, he led me out of the bar
I think he took me straight to his car
After that, it all goes grey
I don’t know where I am
Only thing left to do is to pray
I said I would never do this again
Broken promises, will it ever end….
GailForceWinds Aug 2015
I’ve lost my spirit
Is it dead or just sleeping
I can’t wake it up
I can’t stop the weeping


I once was full of life
Now I feel like death
A hollow body
Taking its last breathe

Where do I look
Where do I go
My spirit is still out there
But where, I don’t know

When did this start
I’ve lost track of time
A broken heart
Was that the first sign

I’ve lost my smile
My zest for life
My soul is broken
I’m left in strife
GailForceWinds Apr 2015
What did I do that you let me go
After sharing my bed
Playing the part of my beau

Day after day I gave you so many chances
You just threw me away like all your other failed romances

You said relationships were not for you
Now I know how much this is true

I was blind in love and could not see
This much I know, there is nothing wrong with me

Burn
GailForceWinds Jun 2015
I must smile
I must laugh
Burry away
The pain from the past

I long for the day
When the pain goes away
The past is gone
But the pain lingers on
GailForceWinds Dec 2014
If I could just strip away
All the superficial crap
Am I too thin
Am I too fat?
Old
Young
Pretty
Ugly
Too outgoing
Too shy....
This is how I'm judged, I dare wonder why
If you could see past this cover, into my soul
You will find nothing less than a heart of gold
Peel away the layers, see what lies within
It's a beautiful butterfly, with a broken wing
GailForceWinds Dec 2014
You're a lone wolf
Can't be caught
Keep going, keep moving
Live fast and have fun
You'll always be on the run
I watch and I wait
Until the day
You get tired
Of running away
I'll be here
Where else would I go
My life is half over
This I know
I have good years left
But you'll never know
I'm sad, I cry
But away you go...
GailForceWinds Jan 2015
I have so much stuff running through my head
I'm wide awake lying here in my bed
I should be sleeping
But no such luck
A quick cat nap, this surely *****

So what to do now
In the middle of the night
Pick up my pen
And start to write
A quick one :)
GailForceWinds Dec 2014
I'm being swallowed
By the loneliness surrounding me
People everywhere
Yet I feel alone
Alone in this world
Without you by my side
I'll never get over
The fact that  you died
It doesn't seem real
It doesn't feel right
The dark angel came
And took you in the night
How do I move on
How do I survive
Without you by my side
Grief overwhelming
Too much to bear
If I was dead
Would anyone care?
I guess we will see
My love, I'm coming
Be ready to catch me
GailForceWinds Dec 2014
Running and running
As fast as I can
Can you catch me?
Are you a real man?
I’m faster than you
You’ll never catch up
I’d meet you at the finish line
But you’ll soon give up
See you my darling
I must say goodbye
I’m running faster and faster
Did I see you cry?
GailForceWinds Dec 2014
I am finally done
Dreaming of you and me
It was never meant to be
I was blind
But now I see
I'll move on
Yet again
searching for
A lover, a friend
Is my life over
Just let me cry
I'm sick of trying
Just let me die
I hug my cat
It'll be alright
I have to go on
At least one more night
GailForceWinds Jan 2015
She lie naked in bed
Feeling naughty and free
Finding the right pose
For him to see
She sipped some more wine
As she watched the bedroom door
All she could hear was her puppy snore
She heard the footsteps
Coming down the hall
She put on her **** smile
And stared casually at the wall
Then the door opened
Oh **** she thought
It was her husband
I'm gonna get caught
He looked at her in shock
Then came the grin
Until the door opened again
This time it was him
GailForceWinds Dec 2014
Maybe you're not the one for me
Maybe I've been living in a fantasy?
It seemed like it was meant to be
Happily ever after, you and me
I think it's time to move the hell on
Will you miss me when I'm gone?
I'll never know
I'm not coming back
Get my suitcase
I'm ready to pack
No more tears for me
When I'm done, I'm done
*C'EST LA VIE
GailForceWinds Nov 2014
The chains are getting heavier
They have been holding me prisoner for so long
It's hard to move, to walk, to breathe
I want you out of my head... my heart
I'm afraid to sleep, you're always there
How do I escape from these chains?
I hear the voice....
The only one who can set me free,
Is me
GailForceWinds Mar 2015
I’m just living life a day at a time
I thought I would sit here and write this rhyme

Each and every day is full of change
From the smallest ripple in a stream
To the man I’ve been waiting for
Walking out of my dream

I live for change
It’s not scary to me as it is for some
Change can be good
Change can be fun

Change is not always great
That I must admit
I always have to be ready
For that next heavy hit

But for most of my days
Life is an adventure to me
I long for the excitement
Reach for the sky, and that next mystery
GailForceWinds Jul 2015
Where am I going
What is my path
I have to make choices
Put aside my wrath

Trails lay before me
Like cards in a game
Which trail do I take
Will I end up in shame

Choices are not easy
Overwhelming at times
Which way to turn
I can’t cross that line

Stand still for today
No decisions can be made
Only time can guide me
All the way to the grave
GailForceWinds Dec 2014
We all have a choice
To live or to die
Some of us choose both
Alive and breathing
But dead on the inside
Faceless expressions
Walking through life
No joy, no pain
Zombies surround us
Is it you, is it me?
The characters change
Every day
I put my armour on
I've made my choice today
Dead on the inside
No one can hurt me, I'll be ok
GailForceWinds Jan 2015
You can choose to be happy
You can choose to be blue
Just remember, it all starts with you
GailForceWinds Dec 2014
** ** **
Here comes the snow
Just in time
For a Christmas rhyme
All lights are up
The malls are packed
I'm done shopping
so I'll hit the sack
Santas everywhere
Which one is real
They're all so sweet
I want to tug on their beards
Lights on houses
How pretty and bright
** ** **
Merry Christmas
And a good night
GailForceWinds Dec 2014
Take me and ****** me
I'm right here
Naked for you, under the tree
Wearing only my Santa hat
Come get me baby
Don't you want some of that?
He he he, ** ** **
Get closer darling
I'm gonna make you glow!
Merry Christmas baby
GailForceWinds Feb 2015
I’m looking out my window
Watching the ****** snow fall
Wondering all the while
If you will ever call

Why am I so obsessed?
With the thought of you
It’s hard to get myself dressed
Remembering what you put me through

So how do I still long for you
With every breath I take
Every single moment
I think of you when I wake

I want to forget you, I really do
I know so well that we are through
Something inside me keeps holding on
Even though it’s been a year since you’ve been gone

It’s time to let go, as I watch the falling snow
Clean and pure, I’ll think of you no more
GailForceWinds Dec 2014
Hello...  I'm here
I'm ready for you now
Come out come out
Wherever you are
My heart knows
You aren't far
Don't be afraid,  I don't bite
Unless you want me to,  then I might
They say I'm a great catch
Fun
Pretty
Caring
Come my love, I'm ready for my match
Everything a man could desire
Is here for you
Don't pretend you don't know what to do
I'm ready for happily ever after
Now...
With you
GailForceWinds Jan 2015
The alarm went off, playing her favorite song
She hit snooze again, knowing it was wrong
There was nothing she’d rather do,
Then stay in bed all day
With her young lover, they’d cuddle and play

The alarm was relentless
She had to get up
When she looked over at him
He was refilling his cup

Did he sleep at all?
Has he been up all night?
He’s still drinking,
Is that right?

He staggered over to the bed
looking all shook up
His face a tint of green
Was he going to throw up?

Living in the fast lane
Is it pleasure or is it pain
Doesn’t seem to matter
As long as you can’t feel
Hiding in your bottle
Where nothing is real

So much for the cuddling
So much for this day
She jumped in the shower
She had to get away

She left her apartment
He was passed out
What would she find tonight
She really had no doubt

How can she help him
It’s not even love
It’s just pure compassion
From the Lord above
GailForceWinds Jan 2015
I could picture the chalk outline
Yellow police tape wrapped across the door
The first things I thought of
When I saw you there lying face down on the floor
I was paralyzed
Couldn't think, couldn't move
What the Hell was I supposed to do
My head was spinning
I couldn't think straight
All I could do is call out your name
I saw your head move
I ran to your side
You said you were ok
To my surprise
I helped you up
Then feel to my knees
I couldn't live without you
Thank God heard my plea
GailForceWinds Nov 2014
We are all alone...
The small row boat barely rocked on the crystal clear lake, a majestic mirror of ice...
sun glistening off the water,
blinding, like the love I felt coming from your eyes
You look at me, and I forget where I am
You touch me, I'm a slave to your hands
You kiss me, I forget who I am
My body tingles with your every touch
Your tongue runs up and down my body, over every mound and curve
I am motionless
a life size doll under your spell
I'm in total bliss,
with each deep wet kiss
unable to move, or utter a sound
We are all alone...
no one around
I pray that this moment will never end
but then the air shifted, oh no, not again!
Your eyes changed to tiny daggers, no love, just rage
I knew what was coming
as your fist hit my face
You pounded and pounded, until you were done
Red syrup covered us, as if we were one
You picked up the towel, to wipe up the blood, while saying you're sorry, and professing your love
you hold me tightly, you won't let go,
and tell me you love me..
I smile, I know...
GailForceWinds Jul 2015
I never thought I'd be in love again
Especially with my best friend

Life had its troubles
Surely more to come
But with you by my side
The dark brings the sun
GailForceWinds Mar 2015
I keep waking up every day
To come to work just to collect my pay

I don’t even know if I like what I do
I feel like I’m better off home with the flu

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to do something you love?
Write a book, feed a dove

Walk on the beach
Sand in your toes
Salty sea air
Tickling your nose

It really is such a lovely daydream
Don’t wake me up, cause I just might scream
GailForceWinds Nov 2014
Rose petals lead the way through the suite
They covered the bed
And were carefully placed around the hot tub
The stage was set
All that was needed was him
She waited and waited
The hands of the clock kept moving
But she was frozen
She chanted, "He will come"
Over and over again
The water in the tub became cool
The rose petals became dry
Crumbling to dust
A few rose petals floated lifelessly in the tub
She gets in...
Still chanting....
Her body became lifeless, like the rose petals.... a warm red hue took over the water
A knock at the door, then another
He sees a single rose petal outside the door
He knocks again, intrigued by her lure
But their lust was deadly,  to be no more...
GailForceWinds Dec 2014
I want to sit with you by the fire
I can't resist my burning desire
I'll take you on a ride
like never before
I'll take you on the table
I'll take you on the floor
I'll make you want me
as much as I want you
just let me get my hands on you
GailForceWinds Jan 2015
My desire...
Engulfs me like fire

I can't run away from the way I feel
My desire is stronger than steel

I may be wrong to want you so bad
You were the best thing I ever had

My desire runs deep
Deeper than the sea
All I want is for you to love me

My desire has no boundaries
It won't go away
I'll keep loving you
Each and every day
GailForceWinds Jan 2015
Despair has been my only friend
She visits me again and again
This relationship we have
Has to come to an end
I’m tired and worn
“I’ll make her go away”, this I have sworn
But she is so real
So close and familiar
Without her, how will I survive?
I don’t know, but it’s time to say goodbye
GailForceWinds Dec 2014
Am I awake, really here in my bed
Maybe I’m still sleeping
Maybe I’m dead
I have no idea what’s going on in my head
Did I die in my sleep?
I don’t feel afraid
Yet I can’t feel my body
And I can’t stop my brain
All I know is I feel no pain
If this is death, I think I like it
No snakes or dragons or fire pits
Just peace and quiet, the serenity I’ve craved
Finally I was no longer enslaved
This was too good to be true, and so it began
I could feel my legs, I could feel my hands
The alarm started singing
Ring ring ring
Please make it stop, I don’t want to wake up
I don’t want to think of last night and that club
I want to go back to the peace and serenity
Even if it means death is my only destiny
GailForceWinds Apr 2015
There was a time
When I was young
I believed in love
In blissful fun

I still had hope
In happily ever after
Then what happened
Turned my life to disaster

It all began when I fell in love
Young and naive is what I was
I had no idea what would lie ahead
Once I gave you my heart, climbed into your bed

Just a child inside
A women's body only to be seen
I didn't understand love
I wanted to scream

I kept my mouth shut
The romance was done
I realized that night
He was not the one

Where was I to go now
I was prisoner to him
He had all the control
He sold me in sin

I'll never be the same
My youth taken away
I'm no longer pure
I can't escape, I must stay

I give up on love
Life is no longer mine
I'm forever his prisoner
Please be gentle, be kind
GailForceWinds Jan 2015
It’s amazing to me
How in one quick moment
Your life can change completely
For better or for worse

One bad decision
One overlooked detail
It could all change the course of your life
In less than a split second

Your journey is set for you long ago
But we still have the free will
To change it ever so slightly

There is always two endings
To every story
Every novel
And every life
GailForceWinds Jan 2015
If I take off
Just disappear
Leave this town
Would anyone care?
I'm ready to run
Get away from this place
No one will notice
Just another day
I close the door
Turn the key
Walk to the train
Will anyone remember me?
I don't know where I'm going
But it matters not
I want to be happy
I just might have as shot
GailForceWinds Aug 2015
Rainbows and unicorns
Kittens and bunnies
Four leaf clovers
Poo Bear and honey

In my world
Nothing is real
I see an elephant
Now a seal

I sit in my chair
And play with the air
Have I lost my mind
You’re much too kind

It’s time for my meds
To ***** with my head
I’m not going far
Not leaving my bed

Rainbows and butterflies
Puppies and dragons
Monsters and vampires
Have I fallen off the wagon

This is my world
A room with restraints
Making things out of leather
Stroking canvas with paint

Everything is distorted
But that is ok
Life was too hard
Acting sane every day
GailForceWinds Jan 2015
I thought I had it all
The world by the *****
Little did I know
I was slowly destroying myself
Day after day
Pain and guilt, lies and deception
This was my way of life
For a very long time
I was in the deepest black hole
Called addiction
There seemed no way out
One big circle, get up and do it all over again
Until one day
I couldn’t do it anymore
I dropped to my knees, I dropped to the floor
I picked up the phone
And made the call
That was the turning point for me
Two years later and I’m doing fine
I have hope that some day
My life will be divine
One day at a time
GailForceWinds Dec 2014
Ship has docked
Where is the sea?
I'm all alone
Only me
Sadness overwhelming
Fantasy is over
Back to reality
My lonely life
No one waiting for me at the airport
Take a cab again, alone
Did anyone miss me
even notice I was gone?
If I never came back
Would anyone care
can't think this way, I don't dare
Tears roll down my face
I can't make them stop
I sit and cry
While the ship continues to rock
I'm a scared little girl
Pretending to be strong
while I die a bit everyday
and continue to run away
When's the next trip?
GailForceWinds Jun 2015
They don’t want what they say
They don’t say want they want
They play their games
They’re dating savants

I’m looking for love, could I be the only one?
Butterflies and goosebumps
And thousands of hugs

If true love exists, please let me know
I’m running out of faith
Should I just let the dream go?
GailForceWinds Jan 2015
I’m done
With the *******
I’m done with the lies
I’m done with the tears flowing out of my eyes
I want to be happy
That is my only goal
To be happy
Before I lose my soul
I’m done with worrying about being alone
I need to embrace it
Pick up the phone
People do love me
Or so they say
It’s enough to keep me going
For another day
