Broken
Greg Dempsey Dec 2017
Stuck in the shell I can't shed
Help me, I'm locked in my head
No one can hear me scream, not even plead
Cutting my arms, watching them bleed
I can't take much more, someone end this pain
Ready to take a bullet to the brain
It too much to bare, just let it end
I beg and cry, but the message doesn't send
Louder and louder, but no one can hear me scream
Too much pain, too much, please is this just a dream
No one can help me now, I'm all alone
They can't hear my painful tone
Someone please, hear my cries
I yell and yell, but no one tries
I guess no one cares, no one is listening
My tears roll down glistening
I'll shut up and put on a smile
I'll walk a broken glass mile
Just know the smile I wear is to hide
I am eternally broken inside

Greg Dempsey Dec 2017

See me.
It hurts too much why wont you just
Help me.

Just You
Greg Dempsey May 2018
What is it about me that is attracted to you?
I see her everyday, sitting there, like she do.
The way her hair falls to her shoulders.
The way she smile makes me want to hold her.
She beautiful in every way.
I'd be lucky just to talk her for a day.
Once a friend but I want more.
So I'll her heal her soul of sore.
She thinks the worst of herself but its a lie
Many flaws and pain in her eyes
She hurts deep down, with a shattered heart.
She knows that I will glue the pieces to a whole part.
She knows that i would make her mine in a heart beat.
I will hold her tight and sit with her in the crazy seat.
I'll linger on the sidelines for now, until you're ready.
Then maybe we could have a relationship nice and steady.
'til that day You do like you do.
Cause there is no one I'd rather be with except,
Just you.

A Letter For You
Greg Dempsey Dec 2017
Dear You,

     I'm not sure who is reading this, but i love you I also hate you. You definitely know me if you have this letter. I love you because you know me, you took the time out of your life to be apart of mine. I hate you 'cause you were there, you were there when i was ready to end it. I love you, and i hate you, for not letting me go through half the dumb **** i could've done. Thank you for all you've done for me. I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for you. I love you, but I also hate you.

                                                           ­             -Yours Truly
                                                           ­                      Me

I Do
Greg Dempsey Dec 2017
You wake up on your wedding day
You think "This is happening, no way"
You laugh and cry as its all weary
You think it is all scary
You stand there looking at the aisle
You wait patiently with a smile
You know its chance for a new life
You are excited when you see your wife
You see her walk down, all in veil
You love her, like a queen, you hail
You say your vows and start a life of new
You stand there hand in hand and say I Do

Waits
Greg Dempsey Jan 2019
I sit and waits
As my time escapes
Wanting to leave this place
Not knowing what awaits
Is this really all of fates
Passing or failing is all takes
Being here is what I hates
But can't do much so I sit and waits.
Im just waiting at my BCT site to take a PT test to see if I can go to AIT or FTU

Soon to Die
Greg Dempsey Jun 2019
Sometimes I wonder what its like to die.
Is it just silence all around as i lie?
Or is it just mysterious like the dark side of the moon?
I'll just wait, for i will be there soon.

Home
Greg Dempsey Dec 2017
They say home is where the heart is
And if its broken, its a broken home
But is broken still your home of this
So make it pretty, with likely a gnome
Don't worry about life or problems
Just be kind and learn to be happy
You'll make it through the rose stems
Be weary and sometimes sappy
Kéep walking and always look up
Right here and niw is your stone
Nothings better then a broken tea cup
The place right here is your own home

Phase
Greg Dempsey Dec 2017
Everyone said it would pass
"This isn't you" "It won't last"
I don't care what they say
This is me, this is today
I don't plan for tomorrow
Or look back at yesterday, so?
Nothing is truly s phase for a person
we aren't a moon phase, we're its sun
Like the moon wouldn't have its phases
Unless it had a sun for its changes
We're the sun, permanent and same
What you call a phase, i call came
It came and stayed, i did and will do
What I am or will be is not a concern to you
I am me, not  a haze
This is who I am, not a phase

Face In The Crowd
Greg Dempsey Dec 2017
I'm just another face in the crowd
Nothing special, no reason to be proud
Blended in with the background
Always unnoticed never bound
I'm not a start that shines bright
I'm standing there out if sight
I try my hardest to be that one
The one people notice or look upon
The one everyone likes and adores
But I'm not ment for more
I'm made to support the star in behind
Just live my life and star in my mind
I guess I'll settle and face reality
I'll be the face in the crowd no pity

Alone in the Dark
Greg Dempsey Dec 2017
I am in the midst of darkness ,for i see no light
No sound, no hope, only a fright
I follow the glowing trail on the dusty ground
No trees, no creatures, nothing is around
I look for help and try to find hope
No emotion i have can fill my bones of bark
I am alone in the dark

The question

Forever?
Greg Dempsey Aug 2018
You think she loved you but she didn't
You thought life was perfect but it wasn't
You say you did love her, but you didn't
You knew everything would be alright with her, but it wouldn't

She loved you with all her heart, or so she thought you knew
She knew life was perfect when she was with you
She heard you say those three words everyday
She new everything would be alright even  if you didn't say

She left for school and You stayed behind
Terrible thoughts in your mind
The paranoia took control
Forever you'll love her with heart and soul

She's loosing you, she can tell
Always she'll love you, for you she fell
Too much stress, and school to worry
Trying to find whats right to say, but always sorry

She loves you and you love her
Together you both thought, now and forever
But forever does come and will not last
So now just two friends, all this love is in the past
206 · May 2018
Flaw
Greg Dempsey May 2018
You hate the way you see yourself
You hate the way you smile
You hate all the imperfections about you
You hate all of your flaws
But
I love the way i see you
I love the way you smile
I love all the imperfections
I love all of your flaws
So
Look closer to yourself
Look deeper into your smile
Because no one is perfect
Because everyone has their flaws
And
That makes you unique

With Or Without You
Greg Dempsey Dec 2018
I'm not sure why or even how
And I'm still not sure on why now
But I do know that when I am with you i feel myself soar
Also i do know that without you i want to see you more
I've loved you since the moment we first met
I knew when you asked my name my heart was set
Even though you may not feel the same
I only have myself to blame
When i think about our chats in french one and two
I knew that i had fallen for you
When we talk or text my heart takes a leap
Because whether I'm with or without you my love for you runs deep
This for someone who i cared about for the longest of times. and even though we lost touch she still remains in my heart. we recently got back in touch and i know i still feel the same as i once did. the timing may not be the greatest of times but still felt like i needed to express this here
201 · Dec 2017
Why
Greg Dempsey Dec 2017
Why
We met last year, we were in the same class
Sat in the back you were quiet very quiet
Didn't know you're name till we met after
I knew I liked you when we first had talked
School ended and summer began then school
We had the same class and feelings arose
I knew how you felt but I made excuses
I ******* up but you're happy with him
I'm happy you're happy that's what matters
But I keep asking myself one thing only
Why?

Rain
Greg Dempsey Dec 2017
Drips drops
Yellow boots, puddle hops
Drips drops
Natures' sound, reality stops
Drips drops
Child's laugh, parent flops
Drips drops

Time
Greg Dempsey May 2018
Every day, every hour, every second
We live, we strive, we beckon
All we do is take, take, take away
Not knowing about consequences caused
We all have a time of our own
We all have our limits on what we can do
Some peoples' time runs short
Some peoples' time lasts long
We never know how much time we get
My time may run short
It may last forever
Or it could simply just
End

Old Feelings
Greg Dempsey May 2018
Time of old that could be new
Old feelings arise when I talk to you
I smile when I hear your name
And wish things could once be the same
We once were so close, but worlds apart.
We go back again, we could just restart.
Years have flown and days have past.
Our chats once long, but now barley last.
Time of old that could be new
I won't suppress these feelings when I talk to you
188 · Sep 2018
Lost
Greg Dempsey Sep 2018
I think I'm lost
I have lost my way
I am losing my friends
I am about to lose my parents
I might be losing my job
I have almost lost it all
I know I lost my mind
I can feel myself loosing any emotion
I lost any sight of my future
I just keep losing things
I don't want to Lose it
I don't think i'm lost, I know it
186 · Dec 2017
Nothing is same
Greg Dempsey Dec 2017
Everything has came
Words on paper
Text on screen
Pain in mind
Broken in heart
Where to start
Why be kind
Typing is mean
Voice is daper
Nothing is same
183 · Jan 2018
It's been a while
Greg Dempsey Jan 2018
Life has been true and kind
Nothing had been better then think in deep mind
I do miss the days when I was more active
When I had the will to be proactive
I do my best to walk that long mile
But it had been a while
176 · Dec 2017
Another
Greg Dempsey Dec 2017
Why do you smile at me?
I'm just another face in the crowd
Why do you look but can not see?
I'm just another guy trying to be proud
Why do you become my friend?
I'm just another guy that'll fall for you
Why do you stay close till the end?
I'm just another one to get hurt too
Why do you tell me how you felt?
I'm just another soul always there
Why do you let your love melt?
I'm just another man who will care
Why do you push me away?
I'm just another, always the other
Why do you tell different each day
I'm just another, why do you bother
Why do you play game without know?
I'm just another echo of an echo
Why do you convince me so?
I'm just another fool who alway shows
Why do you, I'm just another.
Another friend, another crush, another shoulder, another brother, another student, another employee, another person, another teen, another, another, another, another. An....an...an....other

Goodbye Love
Greg Dempsey Dec 2017
When I saw you there i fell
Loving you was an eternal Hell
I loved you with all of my heart
You always tore my world apart
You were the best-est part of me
The happiest couple anyone could see
We went walking downtown late at night
That driver came right out of sight
He swerved to fast i couldn't move
Came straight at me, but you had to shove
I fell out of the way but you got hit
Now at your wake, here I sit
I loved you so much, you saved my life
Unknowingly that night i was gonna make you my wife
The driver didn't get arrested, just a D.U.I
Its to hard to know you're gone, or say goodbye
I just want to hold you in my arms once again
But i can't, i just can't bare this pain
I loved you so much, but now you're dead
But the thought of you lives on in my head
We were great together, like a rose and a dove
But now as hard as it is, its time to say goodbye love

'Til Death Do Us Part
Greg Dempsey Dec 2017
"'Til death do us part"
But did you mean it with your heart?
Married for a wealthy pursuit
No choice. my voice was mute.
Our wedding, by our parents, was arranged
For a moment i felt it strange.
I thought I loved you so
But its a lie, now I know.
Just like your mother with this gold
My heart was yours, fire and bold.
We had the greatest of memories
Everything for our children as stories.
You crushed my heart when you left
Like wind in a hurry, you were deft.
I lost my job when i got sick
Three months 'til my clock's last tick.
No more money coming through the door
Left me with two kids, you took no more.
Struggling to keep them fed with death near
Your kids are crying, can't you hear?
Gold Digger you are, glad you're gone
They'll stay with my mother since you're done.
It's my final day, i hope you're happy
Now don't you dare get sappy.
Remember what we said at our start
"Forever together, 'til death do us part."

thirteen...fourteen...fifteen...sixteen

Mercury
Greg Dempsey Dec 2018
In a world of new and mystery
I stand tall and look all around me
Madness in the air, Madness in my soul
It's like I fell down the rabbit hole
So many wonders, large and small
Creatures a blunder and all
A new world before my eyes
On the ground under new skies
Like in the books of my childhood memory
In this new world called Mercury

I Wish
Greg Dempsey Dec 2017
I wish, i wish with all my heart
to change what once had start
to go back and fix what had placed
I wish, i wish with all my soul
to travel back and to heal this hole
to correct the empty space
I wish, i wish
i would any and everything to travel back before these events took place, back to when we were happy and whole
no worries at all...
i wish i wish...
my family, my friends, my everything,
i just wish
This goes out for every issue that i am facing or had faced withing the past year and a half

How About That
Greg Dempsey Sep 2018
Its just that time again...
When everything around you just crashes down...
I can't sleep with all this pain...
In my sorrows is where i drown...
Again and again i ask for help aloud...
But no one hears cause they don't understand...
I'm calling out but its just whispers in a cloud...
Can someone know that i'm falling and can not land...
In my head the winds are wild...
Thought after thought, where the memories are at...
No one does anything knowing i'm a broken child...
So 'cause i smile noting is wrong, How about that?
147 · Feb 2018
Why Even
Greg Dempsey Feb 2018
Why even care at this point?
All I do is just hurt myself
Why even try to feel
When I just end up broken again
Why even write these poems
They'll just think its about them
Why even bother with people
Soon enough ill be alone
Why even pity other life
Its all just going die anyways
Why even live life
We all would be dead soon

— The End —
