misery, betrayal Slapped with the horrible truth. No longer in denial. Truly enlightened... No longer the trusting, humiliated, abused fool...Completely, totally and irrevocably gutted by reality...over half my life wasted because of lies believed...30 years gone to never return...My want for you 2 soulless, narcissists? May you both get what you wish for...
On days like this, I wish she were here. I wish she was already asleep in my bed. I wish that my sheets smelled more like her hair, and less like the mess that I left there instead. How I wish, and I wish, like the stars she'd appear, every night, before my eyes, burning crystalline clear. How I wish and I wish for our future my dear, for a setting in which we would ever draw near. Yet alone every night only my voice I hear. As I question myself, have I've become what I feared? Until dusk meets the dawn, wisper words in my ear. Say I miss you my darling, say I miss you my dear.

How I Miss Her
A crowd has gathered in the home of the unknown poet a house of smoke he calls it, but the poet left for another affair his gallant wife descends the stairs and shows no misery while the guests read his work sniffing over their peer glasses and with no regrets whatsoever the poet's wife drives a dagger deep in her pale breast as the poet is laughing and dancing with ****** the guests at the table place their orders.

The gallant wife
They say time is money, but I’m getting broker by the minute. Time to spend, time to **** a one way ticket from tomorrow to today. The past is getting thicker while the future’s looking slim. The dawning of a new age, but the sun is getting dim. I’m tired of it. The clock turns and the pendulum swings a metronome for the monotone Straining their ear for when the fat lady sings Tone deaf for the sounding alarm hitting the snooze hoping to disarm The bomb of lost seconds and hours we don’t have time it has us, dragging us along in a prison bus. The sand’s slipping and slipping between our hands Grasping nothing but air as the hours expands A big bang of a moment to make the seconds last We got pictures of a of life long gone in the past Hold on to the memories cause time’s going fast The future’s a fight but were losing all the time When the hands start spinning and spinning and the bells chime. Our shadows stretching longer and the moon changes face We’re all running a race struggling to keep pace. With tomorrow the reward that we’re all going to chase. Tick tock the future is here Time wasted with the end drawing near. Keep running and running keep ahead of the pack The past is the past so stop looking back. Turning the days to weeks and the upcoming years Success to failure and smiles to tears What do you do when time’s coming for you Fight back every moment Stealing seconds at a time The bell tolling our atonement Making gains in our climb But my pockets are empty and my wallet has nothing in it. Because time is money and I’m getting broker by the minute.

**** you and **** her. And every tattoo you have to celebrate your perfect relationship. I guess 8 months mean more to some people than an upwards of 5 years. "You are my favorite human." "No matter where we go in life, I will always love you." "You will forever hold the biggest place in my heart." Who knew that such a pretty face could conceal so many lies? So please forgive me if I no longer wish you the best. Apparently you've already got it. - R. H.

Inked
You defiled me without a thought, without a single touch from your hand. But somehow I felt you - I still feel you. And for as long as I live you will hang above my head, a noose woven through with my name.

You Had No Clue
Mom left; the sight of you was beginning to **** her. But you held so tight to a rope that was burning through your palms. You called it "trying", but all you wanted was to drown her with you. When she cut the weights tied to her ankles, you had the next pair lined up for me, "Dad loves you" inscribed on each. But I've found that the term 'father' is not synonymous with love. I could fall into the arms of a stranger, tell everyone I know what love is. You say I'm lucky, that I got your green eyes, but you and I will never see the same. Some days I'd rather I were blind.

But I Have My Mothers Heart
And when you find yourself wanting me again, look above and see how wonderful the stars are —that’s what you have lost.

Lost
"I see you everywhere. I see you in sentences inked blue on a crumpled paper napkin, in cars and buses caught in a traffic jam, in the perfect swollen shape of the moon. I see your image in the face of every person I meet: when the cashier hands me my change I am reminded of your long calloused fingers, when I pass by girls with tattoos on the nape of their necks I remember how it feels to kiss you there. Every laugh, every flesh, every smile is you trying to steal my breath away. I think: this is the opposite of forgetting. I scatter your memory to the empty winds, put you inside the pockets of strangers, force you to haunt me like a ghost. This is how I survive your absence. This is how I keep you, darling, so that you may never leave my world again."

This Is How I Keep You
It took one who was blind To teach me how to see. Someone who was cold Thawed this heart in me. I learned from the cruel How to truly understand. And when you walked away, I learned to be my own man. I learned from the lies To recognize what is real. From a stony hand, I learn how to feel. I have a new love That reaches parts of me. You never could touch. You showed me who not to be. You rode off into a bright and blue day. I went into the dark to be saved, You came back to lie to my face, But I... I Could not see past those trails that you blazed And I'd... I'd already found the love that I crave You loose... Now your head's in a haze. Thing about it is - The heart that you break is yours, And the love that you take is from you. The lies you believe are your own. The suckerpunch you don't see coming Is the very one you've thrown. You know you were ***** You know you were wrong. I am not judging. But I wouldn't be in your shoes for long. Why don't you go and blaze another trail. You say it's different this time. But just like all the other times, What's not different is everything is different. I am different. The only thing that is the same is you.
