I'm kind of stuck
At least... I think I am
Somewhere between telling everyone I know to *******
And "just please come hold me friend"

Some place in between an uneasy heart and hectic mind

"I'm depressed"
Can't I just say it without having to explain why?
Sometimes I don't even know which reason to choose

Short replies

"You seem like you don't want to talk"

You're right, but I also want to reach out
I want out
I want to let go of everything
And capture it all in my arms

like a fire fly in the palm of restless hands,
Just let me hold on to your light
Atleast, just for tonight

Because I'm feeling stuck.

She Writes
Meet me in the clearing
In the forest of my dreams
We can lay by a fire
And count the stars
Pointing out shapes
In the cotton candy clouds
Drinking until we’re dizzy
And bathing in the moonlight
You and I, side by side
All through the night

I begin to pull away
Like a hand from the heat of a stove
Afraid of getting burned
It's not you
It's my past creeping into my mind
Grabbing the reigns
Even though I put the cart before the horse
So pull me back from the edge

I want to run
Want to jump
But it's to late to turn back

I want you
I want to be with you
Why am I like this

A fool
And a foolish one at that

Walking abound eyes twitching.
Life bursting from its stitching.
Meaningless days continue on.
Counting down till life is gone.

Mind is sick relentless thoughts.
Begging for ease in a bottle of shots.
That road leads no where, that I know.
Just a painful existence on death row.

Days turn into weeks, weeks to years.
Seeking forgiveness, living my fears.
Alone I sit day in and day out.
Life has taken such a horrid route.

No smiles, no pain.
No happiness, no gain.
No comfort, no stress.
No feelings, no mess.

A life I can not feel....How do I heal?

You promised to never leave but you did
You promised to never stop loving me
but you did, now I sit here alone and lonely
You promised to always be by my side
But you left without even a goodbye
Was I that horrible of a lover
that you had to go find another
I wonder if he knows about me
and how much of a disaster I was
For loving you too much
needing you too much
And trying to look after your lonely heart
Cherishing you like an art piece with value

I loved you
but now I wonder if you loved you
In your lies I found your value
I found a missing soul
A broken heart, and an insecure being
I’m not here to judge you
But here to tell you
That one day love will find you and judge you

A dog chained up next to a bike,
He protected what he thought was right,
He barked and almost gave his life,
This dog was left, out of sight.

Despite what he felt in his heart,
He fought against what he knew was smart,
No consideration for end nor start,
He was loyal to him even though they were apart.

This man left his dog at a train station,
Left him alone with zero frustration,
Abandoned this creature of loyalty to him,
Left him alone with no consideration.

The dog would not stop protecting the bubble,
The PSO's continued to huddle,
No reason for this; all brains are muddled,
All i thought was this dog just needs to be cuddled.

Chained by the throat to a materialistic matter,
I felt my heart completely shatter,
So skinny! Rather see him be fatter,
Everyone else typically standing in chatter.

Just another spirit born into a reality,
With no choice in what or who it shall be
No need to believe me if only you'd seen,
I want that dog to just go and break free.

Unlike us this poor thing was so unaware,
That in his life - His owner did not care,
And nothing about his situation was fair,
Hes not trapped alone, his feelings i share.

I still can hear his barks not knowing what they mean,
Is it a cry for help or maybe more like a scream?
Is the situation a little better then it seemed?
Im not so sure but the call will haunt my dreams.

They say suicide is selfish but is it really?
What are those people really feeling?
That life just ain't worth seeing nor revealing?!
The rest of mine is so unappealing.

This dog was not fightful just super aggressive,
His bravery was super impressive,
But lets now make this a good lesson,
Look after yourself. Whatever their intention .
