xaha - Hello Poetry

I’m beyond help Beyond reach Some lessons aren’t yours to teach There’s nothing to stop me From walking out the door I won’t look back My life means more It’s not really you Who’s made a mess It’s what we do That needs a rest The back and forth Covers no ground And somehow we fight Without making a sound Remember when we laughed And broke down our walls Now our love takes a bow For it’s last curtain call. It’s funny how people Find ways to change To take their pieces And rearrange Til you don’t recognize The person you knew.. You’re somebody else - On to somebody new.

There’s a brilliant world of words and wine Hidden behind the curtain: A barrier of stares and smiles Shyly given, modestly strained. Each subtle push Met with an even gaze. Tell me more about yourself - Your secrets Your lies Your favorite memories Your darkest times. There’s much more here Than society allows we breach On a first date meeting In the middle of the week. Sure, you swiped right And that means you think I’m cute But do we have a connection Deeper than this Champagne flute? I don’t want to talk about the weather Or what your roommates do. This isn’t an ad on craigslist, You have nothing to prove. Now you’re checking your phone At every silence *** we’re hardwired to our handheld Asylum. And if we aren’t leaving together The night's been a bust. No gain, no loss, no truths to wrestle - No point finding a soul In a hollow vessel.

Cry on, girl Your troubles seem hard But nobody hears it - Your heart is scarred. Why does each blow Come with shortness of breath And every step back  Come with pain in your chest? You used to be stronger Have walls in your heart And an inner fire That burned from the start. But you learned over time That people let you down And sometimes they’re simply Just not around. You faced lots of things Alone and you fought To stay afloat - Is harder than you thought. Over time I guess Those bumps in the road Caused by falling objects Make the path corrode. Running back and forth Arms shielding your head Seems more like a chicken dance Than a way to get ahead. So you lay down your load And collapse to the floor Wondering as always How much more?

Loneliness weighs heavily On the edge of the night. Somebody told me It would all be alright. I’m waiting on that promise Because I can’t turn out the light. The shadows are too menacing, The monsters - just out of sight. Can’t escape the hunger Without an appetite, So I slash with my pen And I bleed what I write. But the candle is waning And hissing with spite. I can’t hold off the darkness, So with that, goodnight. - - - - - - - -

in that sleep of death what dreams may come

Loneliness weighs heavily On the edge of the night. Somebody told me It would all be alright. I’m waiting on that promise Because I can’t turn out the light. The shadows are too menacing, The monsters - just out of sight. Can’t escape the hunger Without an appetite, So I slash with my pen And I bleed what I write. But the candle is waning And hissing with spite. I can’t hold off the darkness, So with that, goodnight. - - - - - - - -

I’m not convinced it’s gonna change I wish I was farther out of range. I can’t even write a ******* poem I won’t even think about going home. Maybe someday when we’re through I’ll know for sure it was all on you. But until that day the blame’s on me - Always is, always will be.

Lost in you Lost in me This isn’t how it’s supposed to be. Holding your breath Letting it out Whistling air - Fill me with doubt. Running away See you someday Hoped this would never end. Caught in your sheets Rolling so deep, Could never call you a friend. Burn down the door On your way out - Don’t cross that threshold again. Tear me apart Rip out my heart It was only a matter of when.

Bright light White night Shadows by the door. Come and go Through the window, Scattered on the floor. It’s too late To try to hide I know they’ve caught me now. Before I go I’ll end the show With a final bow. Wake from a dream A silent scream Trapped inside my throat. Outside the door The shadows rear and Disappear once more.

I thought I found comfort in the hollow of your chest But baby these feelings Are too hard a test. I can’t forget your past - Can’t separate it from mine. We’re bound together By fragments of time. When your heart was at peace And your mind was at rest And I lay at your side I felt truly blessed. But it always interfered - This uninvited guest. I should’ve known Better. I should’ve at least Guessed.
