The Past is past, such is her nature Always behind the Present And yet, so many choose To live within her To sacrifice the everyday In order to curl around those Past fleeting moments of joy Giving a flickering light The Present, the instant, the suffocating dark Always ready to ***** out that small spark of light Never stable, shifting with the winds of time A sudden change, a sweeping wave The Future, both hope and doom The light of hope, of love, of joy The dark of dread, of hate, of death But never foreseeable. Never done.

The Past, The Present, The Future
As humans, we lie To the people we care for Again and again To protect ourselves Or to protect those we love But it does not work

We Lie
Beneath the willow A young man sits, wishing past Would fade at last To silence his past Seems but a feverish dream A distant hope, lost To blot out these marks Would cleanse his scarred past of pain Give a final piece But what of his loss Losing the small good times had Those fleeting moments A smile, high laughter Eyes like earth, hiding rare gems To be with her, love Beneath the willow A repentant old man sits Glad to save those Gems

Willow Boy
I sat there and thought I was rooted to the spot Thinking in what ifs If I was not there Would anyone care If I did not show And I concluded That none of them ever would Then began to smile I went through the day Thinking, Smiling, about that Until I saw her I owed her a gift An old promise to fulfill And then I ran off For I knew well, that Should I look her in the eye My smile would just break For I knew the look That I would receive from her Of fear and worry As she could see me And what I truly think of For she has seen it Reflected on her And that night I felt my life fade For I had done it I had made me fade But a bright light, a siren I pictured her face And then I woke up Sprawled in a bed, but not mine The wound stitched shut And again I thought Of what she may do, Should she Not see me again For, she may notice If I was never again, To give her a hug

She stopped my smile
