Dear Ex,

I have inhaled a thousand doubts
Exhaled a thousand pains
But through the course of my existence
Felt I never, a love quite the same.

Around me the air settles
As if it were
dust on weathered tattered discarded books
But it churns in whispered conversation
At the mere mention of your name.

The sheets of the bed are stained
With dried memories collected.
I haven't the heart to discard
in the hamper,
Later to evict them.


The car rides have homed silence
Who speaks more than I.
It strains my voice and my heart
To utter words, so all together
We utter sighs.

I haven't grown use to those final "Goodbyes"
It has always been "Talk to you later"
And "Until Next Time"
But now,

Now through my course of existing
I inhale doubts
and exhale pain.

An Emotionally distraught broken man,

Your Ex.

P.S
I have yet to experience a love equivalently the same.
I love the second stanza ^-^

Maria
Alone, she sits on the ground waiting
Tears falling silently with no one around
There's no end to this nightmare
on she bleeds
The mirror it lies
Too late to be fixed now
make it real
That perfect fake smile, it shadows
pain, so lost, she's not unbroken
dont forget
Living a fantasy, camouflaged
Nothing giving away this dream
Its been so long now, it's almost real
and yet it is as though
it never existed...

I wrote this when I was in year 10 or was it 11? Either way I must have been 15 at the time...Wow that was certainly a while back!

Me?
I eat embers of sunshine for breakfast
and wash them down with rain clouds.
Believe,
I miss your taste
I miss your smell
Past mistakes brought us here

Rescue me from everything as
Everyday I sit and wait
for more bad news
Until I have nothing left to lose

Please won't you just start making some sense
The Lord doesn't make accidents
I see the worst case scenario and
It's slowly letting go

Guess I could of sent more letters
And talked more on the phone but,
The signal was fading and
The ink running out

Words look good on paper
And sound better from your mouth
But, I can barely breathe as you
Sharpen your tongue
I can't believe anything you say

I'm the fire and you're the water
I'm the canvas and you're the color
I don't forget you
Even if we're not together

Please hold me tight
I don't care if I can't breathe tonight
Forget my lungs,
With jealousy they burn
But don't leave me alone

My heart's sand
Flowing through your hourglass
But time is up, let go of all we know
As our hearts break in two

I need you now
More than yesterday
So I standby and watch
this fall apart and fade away

I watch the pieces fall but,
I can't let go
Even though
                                       It's
                                              over
and I'm on my own...
I would like to think
That I'm immune
But I might as well
Face the truth
That I can't be saved
I'm addicted to love
I'm addicted to
YOU!
