Something in my heart and a little bit my head too tells me this is absolutely the wrong thing to do the B road the wrong road I hear my Momma’s warning I see myself tomorrow morning but I’m going in anyway and I’m going in deep see you on the other side of the wrong thing to do
there is nowhere you will ever go no depth no height no valley no peak no desert no sea no joy no sorrow there is nowhere you will ever go no abyss deep enough for me not to find you and carry you home again .
Where in the world could someone find someone like you who needs to be applauded for simply getting out of bed in the morning Where in the world could someone find someone like you who needs to be adored from midnight till dawning Where in the world could someone find someone like you who when people are talking replies with loud yawning Where in the world could someone find someone like you Where in the world Where in the world?
I know you think the shadows are falling upon you now but if you turn your head right to left left to right maybe they fall different upon you now perhaps they are not shadows just falling lights yet to be lit. falling upon you now
When there is nothing else left I suspect I will see you Exhausted but still breathing Trudging wearily Over the precipice To find us again Know this I will be here Still breathing too
Yes , okay I failed you and everyone we ever knew according to you yes, okay I failed you does that make me less than you or just a little more dishonesty honest than everyone we ever knew including you?
Do not inch towards me if you cannot fight for me I have been here too many times My boundaries well defined my edges sharp and fine Do not inch towards me Unless you are certain you are prepared To bleed before you dine
I have too much to explain I cannot For if I did it would spill out onto this table Too much For you My blood Bright red Oozing through the Waterford glass and silver People would think it red wine and laugh I would see My life Spread out Before me
inky sunsets and a sun so high girls that fly and a tense goodbye unfulfilled promises dreams let down waves on the shore souls that feel sore pain in your heart a struggle to part I know the words that make a poem go high just can’t write them tonight it would probably make me cry.
The winds are gale force as they have been before but this time they are heading right to our door I am ready I think I can handle the ride know where to hide do you?
Happy new year to those of you on this site who have read and encouraged me this year and more importantly thank you for writing words that I have loved and will remember and on we go! Here’s to 2024! See you on the other side!
Can I fall in love with you again can I turn the last page back again can I take last night back again can I rewrite tomorrow again can I unsay my words again can I play happy ever after again can I remember who we are again can I see you anew again can I be me for you again can I fall in love with you again
oh my god, you are so self assured even at this late hour let me say something even at this late hour I know nothing I have learnt nothing even at this late hour I still know nothing but oh my god you are so self assured how do you do that even at this late hour.
I have no plan neither do you at our age everyone has a plan it’s the least we can do to prove it was worth the laughter and the pain and yet we have no plan what’s going on tricky to explain for god’s sake someone anyone make a ****** plan!
We stood there You and I on the cusp of everything Two beautiful blond children each on either side Even then I wanted to jump off as we stood there On the cusp of everything
I have been searching this house all night just can’t find anything worthwhile a couple of memories an odd laugh a lot of pain in the kitchen a lost birthday cake behind the sofa a summer party shoved under a bed a new start rotting and forgotten hidden randomly beneath a a pile of broken hearts
when you came to take me home I went willingly took your hand easily then you made too many left turns led me down too many blind alleys left me more lost that I was before you came and said let me take you home. I am safe and so are you you are home.
Stay exactly as you are Stay right where you are Stay true Stay blue You’re doing okay Stay strong Stay wrong Stay true to who you are Stay you Stay exactly where you are
I will forget my words for tonight the heavy in my heart for at least one night I will dance with you barefoot although it feels like broken glass still for at least one night I will dance with you tonight
