The days pass by
Faster and faster
Turning into weeks
Months,
Years...
Not a single second
Minute,
Hour
Or day goes by
That I don't think of you
That I don't wonder
What life would be like
Today
With you still in it
I may not show it
I may not speak of it
But the longing is there
Deep within
... Always
I often reflect,
Admire
The strength you had in my youth
No matter what was thrown your way
You tossed it onto your shoulders
And carried on
Head still high
I find myself carrying on the same way
Without you here
I've tossed your memories onto my shoulders
And keep on
Keeping on
Head held high
I can relate to you in that way
And somehow it keeps me close to you
There are layers
Too many to explain in depth
But I know
And I remember
How life felt with you in it
And I reflect
I relate
Because I was once
A part of you
And now you...
Every second
Every minute,
Hour
Everyday
For forever
... Are a part of me.

I am not sad
Nor am I depressed
I am not angry
But I am
A total mess
I am not here
Nor am I there
I am just lost
In-between
Some[ ]where

I am
The Listener
The one
They always come to
Breathing in circles
A dizzying dance of
Meloncholy song
I take in every beat
Each note plucking
Heartstrings
I listen - I absorb
It repeats
But when does The Listener
Get to sing?
Those songs - they never end
There isn't any room
For new melodies
For, it is The Listener - who allows
This space
For notes to flutter along freely
So,
When the air becomes thick
With minor chords
And the space is forever gone
Just remember
You never got to
Hear
The Listeners Song.

Finally
I catch a break
from the clattering chatter
of complaints
To melt into this cozy chair
and rediscover my own thoughts,
myself,
who I have lost
somewhere in the noise
Finally
I catch my breath
and slowing its pace, I embrace
the silence
This temporary peace I seldom
catch hold of these days
And just as I finally start to see
myself...
It's taken
Shattered and scattered
like a cars side mirror
side-swiped
by the haphazardly cluelessness
of another
My reflection
My inner self
Gone
Once more

There really wasn't much to the day
A bit of sun
A bit of grey
Leaving me with room to think
A sip to numb
A heart to sink

The wind stirs
jerking the trees
Shaking away
all the pain
- I mean, rain
from my leaves

You ever bite your tongue,
to not hurt someone with the truth?
You bite down even harder,
knowing it's only hurting you.

The taste of pennies
in her mouth
As she continues
to bite
Her lips
Her cheeks
and her
Tongue
Holding back
So others
can
Breathe
All the while
she
Bleeds

The sun set fire to the autumn trees
Good evenning tease
Before the wind takes the leaves
Cotton candy clouds blanket the sky
Kissing childlike eyes
Before saying goodnight
Whispering moon slips into the night
Collecting bad dreams
Before allowing for fright
Heavy lids fall, lashes kissing both cheeks
Seperating worlds
Before the alarm clock piques

A droplet of water
Peers over the edge
Slithering
Quivering
Slowly inching towards death
Slipping
Not resisting
To fall into a mess
Gone missing
Yet followed
By all of the rest
