I’ve changed my mind
Things are much different than I saw
And for some reason, against all odds
I’m back in the same spot, with different people

Except for one
One remains constant
One remains important
One remains special

The one, perchance?
Well it can’t be
Not only for the unopen circumstance
But the people around us don’t associate nicely
I’m not seen as built or mature
And you, well, can’t argue with that

Against all odds
We maintain the same situation
Across all possible barriers
The end seems to be inevitable
Wishing, hoping, and never ending

Quite ironic, isn’t it?
No matter how much we desire, or hope
No matter how many women I put between us
No matter how long you stay with him
We still find one another
And things fall apart again

But it’s always broken
It only fixed when you were here
Even though you really weren’t, and neither was I
Having us was special
And this time
I’d like to keep it like this
Even without hope
It’ll just have to be
Bestie,
Against all odds
Why can’t this end, why do I kind of want it to stay, how do I live knowing you think the same thoughts about what could’ve been, should it have??

Engine running
Fingers interlocked
Hearts beating
She gazes at me with the sweetest expression
And I feel an everlasting silence from my depression

Her laughter is music
Her smile lights the night
Every moment with her feels so right
I’ve found my reason, my guiding light
Conversing through our eyes
Occasional touches of skin
I’m one lucky guy
To have her be the girl I win

A kiss on my cheek
A finger tracing her cheek
I don’t think I can wait a week
But I mustn’t let my heart grow weak
She’s my morning sun,
My evening star,
I’ll cherish her always, no matter how far.
With her, I’ve found love, like a dream come true,
A journey we’ll take, just us two
Soon a goodbye to being single
And a welcome to a perfect world
Stepping forward with a jingle
And having such a lovely girl

Drifting
Waiting
Just for something to happen
But it never comes
I’m alone
I wait for my life to come back into my hands
But all it ever does is die
I don’t know how long I can do this
Fighting through pain
Stuck in an endless loop
I look for a way out
And I’m met with circles
Warping me back, forcing me to go through the same things
When did things get hard
When did time become something uncontrollable
And why do I have nothing to cling to, keeping me going

I need you,
I cry for you
I yell for you
I beg for you
But you don’t respond

I’ve waited for you
I’ve listened to you
I’ve worked with you
I’ve been with you
But you act as if we haven’t

It feels like yesterday,
When those blue eyes couldn’t part from mine
When those hands were mine to hold
When those lips spoke of love to only me

Now,
She says these words to someone else
She thinks this way about someone else
She gives those eyes to someone else

Yet here I am,
Feeling sparks whenever you’re near
Wondering if you feel them too
Reaching for your heart once more
Yearning the love we once had
The love I still hold within me

Answer me this,
Will you ever be mine?

Rippling,
Reflecting my reddish eyes,
The puddle grows with each passing tear
My eyes unfocus,
The shocking pain spreading across my body,
Bringing old memories of simpler times,
People lost along the path,
Including myself
Sinking to the ground,
My black tie floats on the puddle
I watch my one true friend drive past,
Knowing she’s crying in there,
And wishing I could be there for her
But all I am is one of those tears,
Dripping,
Splattering,
Splashing on the surface
But beneath,
Bonds are lost,
My life shattered with it
If only the shards were sharp enough to pierce my skull,
And not just my tortured heart
Sean Maloney Nov 2024
Day by day it beats,
Day by day it aches,
And day by day it breaks a little more,
Holding onto hope of a brighter future that never comes

He waits for a sign,
A person to tell him where to go,
Or for the final moment of his life,
But alas,
Nothing comes of it

Time continues moving,
Patiently destroying the tortured souls,
Amused by the cries of the ******

I wish for good days,
I live through bad days,
I work through the day,
I cry through the night,
Hoping for better days

— The End —
