I used to read your poems
but lately you don't write
you're silent and aloof
you know that isn't right.
You can't close a door once opened
you can't abolish all your dreams
you're a poet of the heart
mustn't fall apart at the seams.
Say what you can in words
they speak the message true
spoken from the heart
the poems will see you through.
A hermit's not your style
a recluse, you are not
never give up writing
of things that you've been taught.
I used to read your poems
I'd read them once again
if you would send them out
(this one's from a poet friend)

Drunken and sunken was I
Drowning in pity and sadness
And time didn't fly
Everything was madness
Stuck in pitch blackness
I couldn't see
Until I chose me
Baby steps I'm taking
It's me I'm facing

Where's my lantern?
The sun is gone and I can't see
Where's home from here?
No coordinates when everything's black
Lost in the black sea
Lost in the black deep
When I can't see
It hurts
It hurts so bad
And nobody seems to understand
So ill hurt
And hurt some more
And ill quietly wail
And inside ill weep
When I feel weak
Lost in the black deep
Where's my lantern?
So I can see..

No light inside of me
It flickers...it flickers
Running on fumes
Livin on fumes
Heart beats on fumes
I've lost my tune
The floor isn't under my feet
Falling in the black deep
Lost in the black deep
Silently I will weep
And I quietly scream
Coz nobody cares or understands
Always comparing their pain to mine
Its not so bad they say
As the floor disappears from under my feet
And I slowly fall
As I quietly weep
And Silently scream
Stuck in the black deep

Hi friends

Im so glad to see all of you still writing..i took a long break from posting my poems. I have alot still in my note pad. I have been battling depression for a year or more give or take a few months. But now that i recognize it and know the problem and have cut the problem out I will be better soon. And that means I will be able to reconnect with my soul tribe.

I gave you my heart and you said that I was amazing..
You said that you loved it
Now I'd by give you my heart if your looking for love
But you would never take it again
Because you returned it
Now i stay up too late
Drinkin, smokin...poisonin myself
Because I'm afraid you've found love
Weather it's a stranger or the one you belong to
Oh how i miss every word you said
But its only what you said..
How i wish it was what you did
Instead of pushing me out
I wish you didn't push me out
Waiting for the day I can think of you with no frown...
With no frown on my face

Girl, you gave him a lot
But, he does not deserve you
He has put you through so much
He has sadly torn your heart in two
You continue to stay by his side
In spite of the constant pain
All of your bright sunshine
Has sadly, turned into rain
