She was the moon to me
Apart of the Daily routine
A thing of beauty
Wears the cratored scars of her past and puts them on display
But does it with the grace that's usually described with a floor length silk dress
She had her phases
Most noted and complimented was when she was full
But my favorite when she was waning crescent ready to be new
She was the moon to me
Something I couldn't keep
And something I couldn't keep my eyes off of

Sticks and stones may break my bones
But it's your words that resonate when I am alone
And they say knowledge is power
Well I guess that makes me power hungry
With an insatiable appetite to know you

I travel my road of solitude
Yet I'm dodging left and right
Clouded in thought
So blurred I'm losing sight
Fighting against the odds
I won't become a statistic
So I kneel to rest
Quick breather
Gather myself to be put to test
Back to my feet
Never accept defeat
Like a Knight
I may be battered
Bruised and tarnished
But I always dust off
Prepared to run into battle
Failure was never an option
It's for the feeble minded
Those afraid to try
I've fallen many times but I bounce right back
The ground and I are friends
It always puts me back on track
Returns the target to my sights
Reminds me of my destination
Whispers "the sky is the limit"
So off I go
One foot in front of the other
Running start
Spread my wings
Fly through those clouds that once blinded me
To bask in the warm rays of clarity
Soar to achievement
I may have over come the challenge
But I will see the front lines again
For I am a Phoenix
I may flare into flames
But it's from the ashes that I rise again

I am a hopeless romantic
Believer of fairy tales
Where the guy fights for his girl
And she is hopelessly devoted
Whimsical love tales that rise and fall
The kind you read about
Dream about
See in movies
Where they ride off into the sunset
It's a primal desire
It leaves me parched
So here I wait
Forr the one to quench my thirst

If you want me
Show me
Make me see it
Feel it
Know it
No more words for me to stumble on
No more words for me to obsess on
No more words for me to drown in
This is your chance
Throw me a preserver and bring me close
Or I shall drift to sea

Reflection
Retracing steps of choices made
Not to dwell but to learn
I must study
I must take action
I must succeed
Failure was never an option
Look back to go forward
Take notes and apply
Like an arrow
Pull back, take aim, and fly

The definition of a second chance is simple
You get to try again
To make amends
Rekindle and start from where you once began
It's a beacon of hope
Begged for by the majority
Treasured by a minority
Overlooked and under-appreciated
Yet I have been graced with this opportunity
One that I will not let down
I will rise
I will strive
I will never let die
I know what I want and I'm here to take it
Eyes on the prize, on my target and I'm going to make it
No obstacle that can't be out done
I've been put into motion
This bell can't be unrung

You attempt to comfort me
Yet my discomfort is being without you
I torture myself with the past
Reliving my mistakes
Backtracking paths of broken glass
Barefoot and bleeding regret
Striving to forget the past
Be in the now
HOPING for a future together
For I do not deserve another chance
Yet I wish for nothing more
I lay my head to sleep & wish you were beside me
Accompanied by emptiness
Fall asleep and dream of you
Dreams,
Where I feel whole again
Where this hole in my heart is filled
Only to wake up to the unholy truth
I am without you

I was scared to give myself to you
But now that I have, I'm terrified
Explained to you what I'd never explained before
And from atop of your wall you said you understood
You say time will bring down your wall
But I can't help but notice these bricks your stacking
The harder I try, the higher your wall seems to be
The only time you let me in
Is in the solitude of home
In public you put your mask on
As tho the opinions of others dictated your heart
I step back with attempts of strategy
Only for you to change your game
I've put my love for you on display
Only for you to pocket it
How can you say you feel the same
When you don't show the same
Displaying shame
Embarrassment
Cut your strings
Release yourself from this puppeteer
And I will catch you
Hold you forever
Be the man you should have had
I'm ready to give you my all
Just show me you're willing to receive it
