Whatever happened to forever
Something about it faded away
Those promises you made will never come true
Cause we'll never be the same
I expected more than this short ending
I didn't know there'd be this pain
Now I wish I'd seen it coming
If I'd known, I wouldn't have stayed
If I could go back to when I met you
I'd change that October day

I know friends and love have a season
They come and go for a reason
But I just wish you never came
You lit up my life for a time
But somewhere down the line
You turned it all to gray

I'm always sad to say
That you and I have history
What I saw in you is a mystery
And for your future girlfriends, I'll pray
But wait, who would love you anyways?

I must admit
I miss our happiness
But I don't miss you

I must confess
I miss memories
But for you, I could care less

Whatever happened to forever
Something about it faded away
Those promises you made will never come true
Cause we'll never be the same
I expected more than this short ending
I didn't know there'd be this pain
Now I wish I'd seen it coming
If I'd known, I wouldn't have stayed
If I could go back to when I met you
I'd change that October day

Things Around US...

We heal from pain and
We grove from our experiences.

Time after time, I open my eyes and
there are issues. Something or someone
has a issue with someone or something.

We heal from pain and
We grove from our experiences.

The time that we got stabbed in the
back, that time that we was in the dark,
The time where we could not feel love,
The time where pain was all we knew.

We heal from pain and
We grove from our experiences.

There are experiences in my life where I ask
Why, Why do I have to deal with this, Why do I
have to put up with this, Why am I the one
crying and they get to walk away happy, Why me.
My experiences are growing me, teaching me
and moling me.

We heal from pain and
We grove from our experiences.
What is the pain doing to you
and how are you overcoming IT?

A Million Little Glass Shards

A Million Little Glass Shards

And the pieces fall, not crashing down alerting everyone
But slowly slipping silently from my fingers dripping with blood,
The beaten and worn slices mixed with a deep crimson, glisten on the floor beneath my feet.
To think that those shards once were being held out to you for the keeping is foolish
As before when they were beautifully welded together without scratches nor scars to be seen,
You denied and manipulated the magnificant detail bestowed upon you.
I'll go on, living the facade of smiling faces and emotion-full eyes, you won't tell the difference and no one else can.
All the skipped heart beats and lasting hugs come to an abrupt end seemingly wasted and impossible.
I take a step and a promising crunch rings out signifying the closure of pain,
Because to hurt, you need a heart and you just blatently destroyed my last one into a million little glass shards...

Fake-Poem from Fake-Poet

Fake-Poem from Fake-Poet

This will make no sense.
It cannot be broken down.
Into metaphors and meaning,
Because there are none.
I intended this to be dull,
So please just leave it.
I don't want some scholar,
In one hundred years time,
To dissect each line
And decide what I'm feeling.
There is nothing here.
It's a literary cul-de-sac
And as empty as Green Land.
So do not read on
In hope of revelations,
There is no dramatic turn
Or cliffs from which to hang.
So goodbye and I'm sorry,
You've wasted your time
But you should have known anyway
Because real poets can rhyme.

Is This Love?

Is This Love?

what would you do if the one you loved didn't feel the same way?
if the one you longed for had moved on,
had left you behind to mend on your own.
would you still hold on?
could you still go on?
would you chase him till your feet bled?
or would you turn away without a glance.
is this what love is?
to hold on after they let go.
to die and wither after they leave your side.
is this love?
could you truly love someone so passionately?
or is it all in your head.
is it all a trick done with smoke and mirrors?
done to break you and tear you down.
is it possible?
possible to feel the warmth in your chest.
to feel like he's all you'll ever need.
like he's the one.
the one that protects you each and every night.
that without him you'd die.
is this what love is?
are you truly the one?

I promise

I feel as if I'm broken
I feel so scared to death
I wish that you could see
how I'll take my last breath

just make sure no ones home
make sure the doors are locked
I'll be up in my room
with all the windows blocked

I'll have my trusty side kick
a shiny silver blade
since no one can see me
I don't have to wait

just take that first step
just put it on your wrist
starting it off slowly
and ending with a twist

Stop it! that second guessing,
you know its what you want!
is what my mind is telling me
ignoring my whole heart

But then I hear a sound
I hear the front door open
I cut a little deeper
they don't know I'm here I'm hoping

they are on the stairs
with more feet than just two
then suddenly my door opens
though I can't make out a view

tears are falling down
and they take me in their arms
they say that its alright
'We love you with our hearts'

Now finally I realize
that its not worth the pain
I have those who need me
I will finally be happy again
. . . I promise

Enough Thunder (2012)

If I were to die tonight, at least there'd be no pain.
Eyes closed, peaceful, listening to the rain.
I'd play a haunting album, one that makes me feel,
All emotions that I've ever felt, the ones that make life real.
It's not been long since I arrived but time is slowing, gone.
But what a way to die my dear, is listening to a song.

Its a quarter past eleven, and I'm listening to heaven.

You

You

Im sick of you
im done with you
you've put me through enough
your not real
im going insane
im drowning
burning
disappearing into the black abyss
of my empty soul
like a black hole
in the universe
******* in whatever life it can steal
and its ******* all the life out of me
i can barely stand to eat a meal
i was so fixed on you
but now im drowning in you
drowning in this hopeless life
walking on the blade
praying for my life
but this knife
is just to tempting
to accidently slip its way through me
deeper than you have gone into me
youre in my head
when i sleep
your in my bed
when i speed down the road
thinking i lost you
dead and cold
but there you are
there is no escape
everywhere i turn
there you are
my car
my dreams
my hopes
even my prayers
are nothing but your own
i have no thoughts
no feelings
no emotions
NOTHING
I'M NOTHING WITHOUT YOUU!!!!
