Pennies fill our jar
Dollars slip through the cracks
Chasing a dream that hasn't been in the scene

Drowning in tobacco smoke and ale
Our resolve fails
Fleeting comforts that always flail
The cost great, it seals our fate

The porcelain pig fills
Just to cry as it's smashed once again
When will it end?
Our relationship needs to mend

Stuck in the sand
Clutching it in my hand
As it slips away once again
One step forward and 5 steps back. This is the American "Dream"
My heart beats like a fierce rain that falls on tin rooftops.
To see your face in pain
Makes me cry in shame
Of what my race can do
To beautiful creatures like you

The way you dance and laugh
The way you fondly regard the present and the past
Makes falling for you seem to last

You see yourself indisposed
But I've already proposed
My heart and soul
For you and you alone to hold

I know they are in good hands
For yours are the softest, most gentle in the land
I love you dearly, so much that my words forever will flow
For now, I hope you'll know
As I express my love for you so
A poem I attempted to create for the love of my life. I never really have done positive poems, but I feel it's enough
You may see my History
You may see my Past
That’s not who I am

You understand me
In a way people don’t get
I heal the world, but you are my splint

You bind me
With every hint
You drive me
With all the motion
You help it all make sense
Even deep amongst the commotion

I know my flaws
I work on them everyday
Yet it feels you are the same
Loving me in every single way

The rock to hold the leaf
To help the leaf understand
You are these
And so much more

I know I am not faithful
My feelings still hold true
That I love you and only you
Forevermore

You are my everything
Despite me proving it not to be true
My actions falter, my feelings remain solid
You are made for loving me.
I am made for loving you
The person this is directed towards will understand. Overall, be flawed. The person who was made for you will find you.
When I came to this world,
I looked to you for guidance
All you cared about was your highness

Holding onto the past
All good and no bad
You're not that girl anymore
But you don't care
How is that fair?

When I talk to you,
Plea for your love and attention
All you do is mention...
I'm fine...

I'm fine??

I'm drowning, downing every drink
But yet all I think of is you
You should have been there for me
All you did was set me free
Focusing on you and you alone
Yet, I'm the one who can't call you home

I'm all alone and I'm crying,
Dying,
Trying for your love
But you're above me and I'm not worthy
When the truth is far from what you think
You let our relationship sink

So eager to point the finger at me
It's easy to see
All you did was use me and abuse me

I would have given you everything
Simply because you gave life to me
Well, guess what?

I'm fine

Without you...
An old poem I dug up. Glad to finally have it on actual digital paper XD
Sometimes, you have to let go.
Be your own you and be openly you

Those who are true
Stick like glue

The fakes will give up their stakes
I'm telling you now
So you don't have to go through what I've been through

Be unapologetically you
The ones who will love YOU
Will find you
And never give up when it's hard too
Graves of slaves
Dreaming of long lost days
They paid their wage
They did their time
But happiness was ne'er to find

The dreams of relax and unwind
Are hard to find
While pigs lay at the top
They feed us their slop

Yet in the shadows, voices rise
A whispered rage beneath the skies
The chains may bind, the body breaks
More spirits rise, the earth quakes
The thunderous roars of rage
Bent on turning the page

And they will take.
The swine squeal in fear
As the many dead hands draw near
"Never fear," the dead cry
"For we will always be here"
A smidgen of collab with AI was done here, but I think it turned out pretty good
Boss,

I hope you are ok wherever you are. There isn’t a day that goes by when I don't think about you. My dreams always seem to involve reuniting with you again. I know I probably never will be able to but my brain is only showing me my greatest desire.

I’m not doing well without you..
What I did. It isn’t worth it. Nothing is…
I want to go back. I want to hold you in my arms again and tell you I love you
I want to kiss your forehead again and be able to rub my hands across your soft fur
I want to go to bed with you beside me, sleeping peacefully
You were my whole world, I hope you know that. My soul is shattered now you’re gone
I beg the powers that be for your return to me.
However, I know, I don’t deserve it
My reason to live
Still belongs with you

I’m not sure how to continue. Honestly, I’m not sure it’s worth it anymore. Your life was the most precious thing to me and I failed you. I wish to reunite with you one day Patches, tell me where you are and I’ll follow you there, even if it’s to the depths of Hell, I don’t care. I just want my life with you back. I want my reason to live back

I want my daughter back
A letter I wrote to my daughter, I miss her greatly
Liar, liar,
Pants on fire—
When will you tire?

What happens when the truth is chased away?
Left alone, day by day,
Slicing through the ache,
Of every mistake
Blood trails like tears from their eyes,
Can’t disguise
The weight of these lies.

Behind closed doors,
Where secrets are stored,
The pain runs deeper,
Cutting through more than skin.
Every lie a scar,
Every denial a wound,
Until the truth is lost,
In the silence of the room.
The real you put into a tomb

Liar, liar,
The fire burns on,
Leaving only echoes of the truth,
In a heart that’s gone cold,
A story untold,
Of lies and the scars you leave behind.
I seek resolution
I seek peace
Us with no decision
Save me from this prison

The future, I fear
Where the conflict is forever here
We don't have to be friends
We don't have to be enemies

I know I am built wrong
So are you
The path for growth is long
And I'm still on it

Let time dilute the hate
I pray for us to have a better fate
If it doesn't,
At least it'll ease the ache
I think the hardest part of letting go of a friend is knowing they hate you in the end. I've made my mistakes, they've made theirs...

— The End —
