too hot
too cold
too many excuses
too much to think about
too much blame to place
too much hurt to live with
too much pain to bear
Nightmares? dreams? anything?
nope. nothing.
too dark.
too bright.
to early
to late.

I just can't sleep...
HELP!

too much stress
too many headaches
too many excuses.
to late for help?

Pause. Breathe. Pray.

too late
to lose any more sleep
tonight.

I
hate
goodbyes
they're so final
yet in conversations with friends
somehow it seems vital

Goodbye
we say it
no matter what the circumstance
but somehow i'm convinced
it's never truly final

Maybe a lover to his girl
on a long dark winter night
giving a "good-bye" kiss
Just doesn't seem right...

Or mabye its family
and it's finally time for you to fly
but for your final choice of words
you inevideably choose
"good-bye"

More likely than not
you've had to go
from the place that you've learned to love
but somehow you just know....

That good-bye just won't work
You see friendships you've made
and how they're suddenly
S             CA      T      T   ER      E                D
across the nations...

So, "I'll see you later" my dearest friends,
Sounds much more appropriate
because the journey's not nearly over---
and I couldn't do it without each of as my associates ;)

I tried to "defy gravity"
But I fell
on
my
face
I thought we'd have fun
But you put me in my place

Now I'm stuck here waiting
for someone else to come
and right here in this moment
Im glad you're NOT the one.

You listened to your heart
And that's all I can ask
I can only hope that our friendship
gets back on track

When I see you Monday
I will not mplay my game
cause even though you knocked me down
I'll call you by name.
I guess I have a lot of "angry boy" poems....this was after my friend told me he'd go to prom with me, and then changed his mind!

I'm happy with who I've become
So relieved that you weren't "the one"
Because now I can explore my options
Without a care in the world.

Soemtimes I wonder how you could hurt me so much
But then I realized you did it for yourself.
You're not who I thought you were...
but now that we're done I'm better off for sure!

Living without you I set my own pace
I walk alone without your hearts' embrace
Sometimes you cross my mind and I wonder what I did wrong
But I know it's nothing we could control

I just hope one day you understand how much you hurt me--when it's the last thing my heart needed

A funny thing happened the other day
I looked at a picture of you and me
and...
nothing happened.
I saw teop people...neither of which still exists in this time and place.

You were there when I needed you
And me for you
But I can say with great conviction
That I'm myself again...without you.

You hurt me--bad
But I've forgiven you.
Sometimes I jusat ask, why?
But then I realize that I will not have the answers....and that's okay.
Not much of a poem.....about a different boy....my first "love".....after the fact, obviously!

I've got my "Once upon a time"
but there's no end to your story

My heart's on a mission--
It's searchin' for you
Cause' you were a dream--a dream come true.

But now you're gone
and my life's a diaster
without your embrace
I just keep falling faster

You were my once upon a time
And now I'm alone
But if you ever come around
I'll welcome you home...

My prince charming
A dream come true
A knight in shinging armour
It was you

But I guess right now
I'll put an end to this chapter
But I'm still here waiting
On this happily ever after....
This one was also written about 5 years ago about the same afore mentioned boy.....I still sometimes just wonder...
