Lost

I tried to be the best I could
It wasn't enough for you.
I lied to myself thinking you would
It wasn't enough for you
I tried to bring you a sense of adventure
It wasn't enough for you
I cried cause it stings to lose you forever
I wasn't enough for you
I tried to awaken my sleeping romantic
It wasn't enough for you
I tied him down when he became a fanatic
It wasn't enough for you

I tried to be a light hearted friend
Yet in the end it was your own feelings that,
Pouring like honey liquor down the back of my stem,
Grew this black flower, now rotting within.

You claim to not be ready to love
You were never enough for me
Your lame justice excuses all the above
You were never enough for me
You claim that you know what I want
You were never enough for me
Your brain never received my thoughts
You were never enough for me
You claim to have been hurt in the past
You were never enough for me
Your history bled into our caste
You were never enough for me

You claim to see it in my eyes, that
There's tears streaming between your thighs,
And though my aim was clear, your fear remains
To no avail, my words fall towards hell's domain.

Tainted

Tainted

The image in my tainted view
Was the clearest in ages
Just as I thought to close the book
Before inciting myself to rip out all the pages

To inspirational heights I climbed
Without a shred of doubt
Like the last 10 pieces of a jigsaw puzzle
The connections were obvious... as my
Jaded and near faded pathway
Came back to life

Into being
Suddenly a view
Appearing
That I knew right then
Just how near I had been
To suddenly veering into tangent unknown

Willing to fight the undergrowth
The tangled web of neglected
Overgrowth
Made up of what... I guess
Would be both
My spirit and my dreams

Neglected to the chaotic
Sprawl of hopelessness
This new view
Allows me to confess
It was never a trail
I allowed myself to aspire to... fully

As I'm foolishly.. I am now aware
This perfection that manifested
In my open and fully invested...
....consciousness

Let me in - to suddenly
Reach the end
Just as I feared
The clearing disappeared
So as I now hack my way
Through my tangled and mangled future
Again I am
As I've always been

Just as lost and lonely
As I ever was - and will be
For it seems
This is the image
The tainted view
The only one ... I ever knew!

When you're not here

When you're not here

Sometimes I think that I try too hard
To say the words in my heart
Sometimes I try to unravel my world
And I wind up back where I start

Sometimes I feel that I'm just so close
To finding out for myself
Answers to questions I've had all along
But never could have asked someone else

Sometimes I feel you when you're not even close
You make me feel so good
I want to hold you for the rest of my life
I would baby if I could you know I would

Sometimes I wonder what it's all about
And if it's all worthwhile
But then you light up my lonely world... with a
Word and a simple smile

Sometimes it's easier just not to care
But I know it would get me nowhere
Sometimes I feel you're not even close
But that's only when you're not here

Only when you're not here

Only when you're not here

Only when you're...
... Not here... Not here

There is a rock and roll singing version of this poem / song at a site called Darko DeviantArt Group on Facebook. A poem by Keith W .Fletcher when your not here.

Losing sight of your vision

Losing sight of your vision

Whatever you do
Do not listen to what I say
Sometimes my thoughts are like seeds
Will plant themselves take root and grow
And it may grow unnoticed until
Somewhere in the future
You'll find shade and  comfort
Under that growth on a hot day

With roots just as awesome and Majestic
As is the crown of many colors
Ever-changing...
... As it puts on its display
Though you may find comfort
In that shade it may  provide
There may be times you wonder about
The view... beyond
that may be denied

It's only human to want that view never seen
To be a person in pursuit of perfection
Unfettered and pristine
Ironic and tragically funny...
How there's always something in between

The very introduction becomes an obstruction
And will be
Until convinced of the offense
Then removed
sheared off at the ground
Only to then find... nothing new
In  this new view ...
... worthy of being seen

So it was not that astute
To be in such dogged Pursuit
Of perfection
That you would forget about the root that had originally anchored
those thoughts in your head
From whence you strayed
And in so doing...
You lost your comfort
And the coolness of the shade

For you

For you

Temptation to reach out
and touch his pain
to ease his worries
with all that I have.

But I am broken too.
And maybe I need someone
Just like you do.
