As the days of May have their way
With the coming heat of summer
Letting go of Springtime's glow
With no past thought of Winter

As the year quickly progresses
Time will always have its say
Where May soon gives way to June
As June does away with May
I keep forgetting I'm writing a poem for each month...
Y'all were supposed to remind me!
I'm very disappointed in your memory...

When I was younger,
I ran barefoot,
Innocent and happy.

As I got older,
I began wearing shoes,
Because that was 'cool'

They hurt my feet,
And killed my innocence.
They drew me to the edge of a cliff
And as I walked along it's edge,
I tripped over
A stupid shoelace,

And now I am falling,
Dreading hitting the ground,
All so I could be 'cool'

Secrets

I've got a box of secrets,
That I've hidden away,
Safe and sound

Most are mine,
Some are yours,
As well as,
A few of others.

I trusted you,
With my box of secrets,
And you tipped it over.

All my secrets
Spilled right out
For all the world to see.

By the time I,
Had cleaned them all up,
You were long gone.

But I want you to know,
That if you spill my secrets again,
I will clean up mine
But leave yours lying in the dust.

An eye for an eye
leaves everyone blind
vengeance is always
best left behind

To repay evil with evil
cannot balance a scale
it's just amplified evil
doling out one more fail

Things are only made worse
when you follow that course
why do men still believe
they're immune to this curse

Will man ever learn
or let his soul burn
while anger within him
continues to churn

It's time to wake up
repay evil with kind
your reward is within
as it brings peace of mind

Breaking the circle
preserving our sight
it may not be easy
but well worth the fight

I know that you are
Just teasing,
And I will smile
And laugh,
And pretend it doesn't hurt

But honestly,
It feels as though
You just stabbed my heart
With an ice cold
Dagger

So even though you are
Just teasing
And I will smile and laugh,
I want you to know that
Maintaining that smile
Gets harder each day.

So if you continue to tease,
I give you fair warning,
Soon there may be
Nobody to tease.
Don't worry, just getting some feelings out

Wouldn't it be great
if everyone was an open book?
no secrets to keep
everyone would feel free

if would be so much easier to find the one
because you wouldn't have to pretend to be
someone else because they would already
know everything about you

and love you anyway

Don't worry
about those who
talk about you
behind your back


they're behind you
for a
reason

Never forget the ones
who loved you
when you thought
no one would

Moth ***** and rag dolls and
nothing left to talk about except for how much
time we spent idly and carelessly
Hyperboles of how we never knew what was coming
Never pondered the road ahead
Just slept instead

Never took the time to think
Just let the facts
sink right through our souls

But I remember when we actually lived
The memories, how they last
and I remember when
You held my hand and said
You'd carry me through any storm

Broken shards and rusty darts and
nothing left to think about except for how much
cash we spent idly and carelessly
No remedies exist for feeling empty and alone
Raised our glasses to someone we
didn't care about
Never took the time to hope

But never thought this road
would end      here
