Stay with me
Just long enough for me to see
That you truly love me
Sorry I’m needy
But I want more than your pity
I need you to love me
I guess that’s the key
But only you could unlock me
So stay with me
Just long enough for me to see
That you do truly love me

The closer people are the more they break each other...
Ten word poem... Some times short and sweet is the best.
Dez May 2020
I write a thousand words to shape in your mind what I am feeling. I read a thousand words to understand how you are feeling. But for lack of knowledge I know not what is your meaning! For a thousand words would mere touch the surface when millions of feelings lay below the surface. What must we do to understand? What must I do to take your hand, and clasped in mine, take you to a place of comfort. Where at last you see a thousand words are not all there is to see.

If this was the last day of my life
I would say I’ve wasted life
A youth am I
And yet I know death is close by
Day by day life and time walk by
They never say hi
They just let you sleep
And later reap
What you have sown
They know I am flesh and bone
And that my life is a vapor
And I am as fragile as paper
But throughout these few years
I have increased my fears
For each day I forget
That my years are set
And I might not add nor subtract
So from now on I must always act
Never fall slack
For if I do I’ll fall back
Never gain
Anything but pain
So I must forget the past
Make the present last
And with the future in mind
Work hard so I might find
A full life without wast
And win this difficult race
That I have been set to face
And win this race I have been set to face

She said open up
So I did for I trusted
But then she said shut up
Now I am busted

What words of comfort my I give?
I know not your pain
Your life I have not lived

I know not what to say
I cannot promise it will be better
For I know not how your troubles are arrayed

So again I ask what words shall I utter
To a man or a woman in the midst of struggles?
I would merely stutter

But I will go to them
I will sit in silence and hold them
And do my best to help a friend
