I started to write a poem
but then i realized
no one is going to listen
or going to care
everyone is too busy
too easy just brush it off the sleeve
like a fallen hair
pretend to never care or if
you were even there
until thats what they beleive
since promises get broken
words a dime a dozen
loves fall into and fails out
friends come and go
seem to never care
i started to write a poem
just to be silent
Maybe then my heart ,my voice, my love will be heard.

Sitting at the poker table
The cards handed to me
Four aces and king of hearts
Any players dream
I could win that hand and carry
Home the ***
However
I kept the ace of spades and king of hearts and discarded the rest
In return I received queen of hearts, jack of diamonds, ten of clubs.
A flush how ever I may not win the game.
Bets all placed cards shown.
I could have cleaned house with main hand, however I threw away the greed and picked up my pride and still won the game.
The flush.

How do you tell someone
how much they mean to me
how much i care
and love even through an old broken heart
how do you tell someone
how special they are to me
the friendship is cherished and very dear
how do you tell someone
i can ***** up big time
its the only way i learn to do things right
how do i tell some one
their trust in me is golden
sacred
how do i tell some one
i learned to never make a promise
because more gets broken than just the promise
how to i tell a friend i still need and want our friendship
(I left the poem unfinished)
How do i tell someone
I love them with all my heart
with out ruining their livesand relationships.
How do i tell them
Thank You
and im sorry i broke the promise and your heart..

If i didn't wake up one day
would my love
still wipe your tears
still keep you warm on cold cold nights
would my love carry you through harder times
help you along life's uneasy times
did my love shine through
even when i couldn't smile
from the pains i was going through
did my love come through each time
i messaged
came to your side
when you asked for help
when no one else was around
or really showed much care
did my love show when i was there
i hope so, because i really needed love my self
someone to say i care , i love...
even when things went wrong
i needed some one there
all my life i felt alone
will my love show through the hard , rough times
will it be enough
even if i am not there
and alone and single
If i didn't wake up one day
would my love
still wipe your tears
still keep you warm on cold cold nights
would my love carry you through harder times
help you along life's uneasy times
did my love shine through
even when i couldn't smile
from the pains i was going through
did my love come through each time
i messaged
came to your side
when you asked for help
when no one else was around
or really showed much care
did my love show when i was there
Will it be enough?

buried underneath the piles of ruble
it took just a deeper look
just to see
me
not as a boyfriend, lover, best friend or other
not to see the lonesome heart or son or brother
a deeper look to see
me
i am of no other
trials and mishaps did not ****
so they only showed my strengths
i have not had my fill
a deeper look
showed a heart
struggle
a life
love beyond all reasonable means
it showed me........ me
a deeper look
what i have been searching for
was ........
me

this heart of mine
she said it is no use
she is stuck haunted and taunted
by an ex flame
use to the abuse non physical all demanded and mental
wish i understood
single life once again
shattered hearts
duct tape
sewing needle and thread
wish i understood this heart of mine
from the past
no reason to mend tape falls off, and i cant sew
leave it shattered on the floor
this heart of mine
she said it is no use
she is stuck haunted and taunted
by an ex flame
use to the abuse non physical all demanded and mental
wish i understood

from the past one message in 21 poems
21 poems 6 thousand words
some shallow, some deep
no one can ever go back to change these
but it comes back to you in many ways
may be in a flash or over a period of days.
even years.
nothing in order , never is when learning new ways, and new things
a lesson of what to or not to do with this new you or me
each step is a new step it may take a few steps forward and a step back
and knowing when to twirl or to side step. or when to let go and when to catch.
it's a lesson of knowing who we are inside before the opening show
we are the writers of our own and with that it takes time, failures and growth
from the past one message in 21 poems
the message is different to everyone it may seem we travel the same path each path is different in so many ways
from the past one message in 21 poems
mistakes are made ,plans change uncertian dreams but most of all just be you and welcome change.
from the past one message in 21 poems
(start of the new poems or writes) 2/22/2014 to the brighter future
